She's Only Happy In The Sun

i know you may not want to see me

on your way down from the clouds

would you hear me if i told you

that my heart is with you now

she's only happy in the sun

did you find what you were after?

the pain and the laughter brought you to your knees

but if the sun sets you free, sets you free

you'll be free indeed, indeed

she's only happy in the sun

every time i hear you laughing

it makes me cry

like the story of life, of your life

is hello, goodbye

shes only happy in the sun

Losing My Religion

oh, life is bigger

it's bigger than you

and you are not me

the lengths that i will go to

the distance in your eyes

oh no, i've said too much

i set it up

that's me in the corner

that's me in the spotlight

i'm losing my religion

trying to keep up with you

and i don't know if i can do it

oh no, i've said too much

i haven't said enough

i thought that i heard you laughing

i thought that i heard you sing

i think i thought, i saw you try

every whisper of every waking hour

i'm choosing my confessions

trying to keep an eye on you

like a hurt lost and blinded fool, fool

oh no, i've said too much

i set it up, consider this

the hint of the century, consider this

the slip that brought me

to my knees failed

what if all these fantasies

come flailing around

now i've said too much

i thought that i heard you laughing

i thought that i heard you sing

i think i thought, i saw you try

but that was just a dream

that was just a dream

but that was just a dream

try, cry, why try?

that was just a dream

just a dream, just a dream

dream

Quelqu' Un M'a Dit

on me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose
elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses

on me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud

que de nos chagrins il s'en fait des manteaux

pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit

que tu m'aimais encore

c'est quelqu'un qui m'a dit que tu m'aimais encore

serait ce possible alors?

on dit que le destin se moque bien de nous

qu'il ne nous donne rien et qu'il nous promet tout

parait qu'le bonheur est à portée de main

alors on tend la main et on se retrouve fou

pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit

mais qui est ce qui m'a dit que toujours tu m'aimais?

je ne me souviens plus c'était tard dans la nuit

j'entend encore la voix, mais je ne vois plus les traits

"il vous aime, c'est secret, lui dites pas que j'vous l'ai dit"

tu vois quelqu'un m'a dit

que tu m'aimais encore, me l'a t'on vraiment dit

que tu m'aimais encore, serais ce possible alors?

on me dit que nos vies ne valent pas grand chose

elles passent en un instant comme fanent les roses

on me dit que le temps qui glisse est un salaud

que de nos tristesses il s'en fait des manteaux

pourtant quelqu'un m'a dit que...

Hypnotized

so that's how you found me

rain falling around me

lookin down at a worm

with a long way to go

and the traffic was hissing by

and i was homesick, and i was high

i was surrounded by a language

in which i could say only hello

and thank you very much

but you spoke so i could understand

and i drew a treasure map on your hand

and you were no picnic, you were no prize

but you had just enough pathos

to keep me hypnotized, hypnotized

the map led to an island

in a sea of store-bought dreams

where soulless singers sang

over beats built by machines

and lovely girls were hovering

above my head like gulls

with their long slender necks

and their delicate skulls

and i was no picnic, i was no prize

but i had just enough sweetness

to keep you hypnotized, hypnotized

so that's how you found me

rain falling around me

lookin down at a worm

with a long way to go

We'll Meet Again

we'll meet again

don't know where

don't know when

but i know we'll meet again

some sunny day

keep smiling through

just like you always do

till the blue skies chase

the dark clouds far away

so you please say "hello"

to the folks that i know

tell 'em it won't be long

they'd be happy to know

that when you saw me go

i was singing this song

we'll meet again

don't know where

don't know when

but i know we'll meet again

some sunny day

Quebramos Os Dois

era eu a convencer-te de que gostas de mim

tu a convenceres-te de que não é bem assim

era eu a mostrar-te o meu lado mais puro

tu a argumentares os teus inevitáveis

eras tu a dançares em pleno dia

e eu encostado como quem não vê

eras tu a falar p'ra esconder a saudade

e eu a esconder-me do que não se dizia

afinal...

quebramos os dois afinal

quebramos os dois...

desviando os olhos por sentir a verdade

juravas a certeza da mentira

mas sem queimar de mais

sem querer extinguir o que já se sabia

eu fugia do toque como do cheiro

por saber que era o fim da roupa vestida

que inventara no meio do escuro onde estava

por ver o desespero na cor que trazias

era eu a despir-te do que era pequeno

tu a puxares-me para um lado mais perto

onde se contam histórias que nos atam

ao silêncio dos lábios que nos mata

eras tu a ficar por não saberes partir

e eu a rezar para que desaparecesses

era eu a rezar para que ficasses

tu a ficares enquanto saías

não nos tocamos enquanto saías

não nos tocamos enquanto saímos

não nos tocamos e vamos fugindo

porque quebramos como crianças

afinal...
quebramos os dois afinal

quebramos os dois...

é quase pecado que se deixa

quase pecado que se ignora

Wicked Game

the world was on fire

no one could save me but you

strange what desire will make foolish people do

i never dreamed that i'd meet somebody like you

and i never dreamed that i'd lose somebody like you

no, i don't want to fall in love

[this love is only gonna break your heart]

no, i don't want to fall in love

[this love is only gonna break your heart]

with you

[this love is only gonna break your heart]

what a wicked game you play

to make me feel this way

what a wicked thing to do

to let me dream of you

what a wicked thing to say

you never felt this way

what a wicked thing to do

to make me dream of you

and i don't wanna fall in love

[this love is only gonna break your heart]

and i don't want to fall in love

[this love is only gonna break your heart]

with you

the world was on fire

no one could save me but you

strange what desire will make foolish people do

i never dreamed that i love somebody like you

and i never dreamed that i'd lose somebody like you

nobody loves no one

The Magic Numbers

I See You, You See Me

i never wanted to love you, but that's okay

i always knew that you'd leave me anyway

but darling when i see you, you see me

i asked the boys if they'd let me go out and play

they always said that you'd hurt me anyway

but darling when i see you, i see me

and it's alright

i never thought I'd fall in love again, it's alright

i look to you as my only friend, it's alright

i never thought that i could feel there's something

rising, rising in my veins, looks like it's happened again

i never thought that you wanted for me to stay

so i left you with the girls that came your way

and darling when i see you, i see me

i often thought that you'd be better off left alone

well throw a circle round and ... with broken bones

but darling when i see you, i see me

you always looked like you had something else on your mind

when i try to tell you, you tell me "nevermind"

but darling when i see you, you see me

i wanna tell you that i never loved anyone else

you wanna tell me that you're better off by yourself

but darling when i see you, you see me

oooh, oo-oo-oooh...

this is not what i'm like, this is not what i do

this is not what i'm like, i think i'm falling for you

i never thought, this is not what i'm like, this is not what i do

i never thought, this is not what i'm like, i think i'm falling for you

i never thought that i could feel there's something

rising, rising in my veins

and it looks like i feel there's something

rising, rising in my veins

looks like it's happened again
