these are days of hit and run

in the stream with everyone

these are moments of our lives

on a wandering river

going on together

many journeys to arrive

I been walking through the valley through the tall grass and the shadows

and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

through the city and the towers turning minutes into hours

and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

when I think I'm being strong

and I lose direction

then a life starts  looking  mischievous

finding revelation

out of desperation 

always stretching time but it’s never long enough

you think you’re happy,
think you’re free but maybe we’re just comfortably deceived

but I'm running through the valley through the tall grass and the shadows

and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

through the city and the towers turning minutes into hours

and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

but I'm running through the valley through the tall grass and the shadows

and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

through the city and the towers turning minutes into hours

and I feel it, I can see it, yes I need it, I believe it

nite-runner nite nite-runner

once was a man who consumed his place and time

he thought nothing could touch him

but here and now it's a different story-line

like the straws he is clutching

why has the sky turned grey?

hard to my face and cold on my shoulder

and why has my life gone astray?

scarred by disgrace I know that it’s over

because I'm falling down

with people standing round

but before I hit the ground 

is there time could I find

someone out there to help me?

howl at the wind rushing past my lonely head

caught in silent slow-motion

how I wish it was somebody else instead

howling at all this corrosion

why did the luck run dry?

laugh in my face so pleased to desert me

why do the cruel barbs fly?

now when disgrace can no longer hurt me

because I'm falling down

with people standing round

but before I hit the ground 

is there time could I find

someone out there to help me?

You see I'm falling down

with people standing round

but before I hit the ground 

is there time could I find

someone out there to help me?

because I'm falling down

with people standing round

but before I hit the ground 

is there time could I find

someone out there to help me?

You see I'm falling down

with people standing round

but before I hit the ground 

is there time could I find

someone out there to help me?

I don’t know…  where to go

I don’t know…  here I go

at the sharp end of the view

the edge of me and you

in all good sense
dare tread no further

and as the ghost will shiver trees

how I'm trembling on my knees

but I'm still drawn on by the murmur

are you laughing at me now?

in my circumstance

when still I wear your crown

my life's penitence for what?

what's so funny

box full o' honey

what I thought a pretty tune

was howling at the moon

to keep me company this evening

it's so lonely in the dirt

a-scratching at the hurt

that I so generously did leave you

are you laughing at me now?

in my circumstance

when still I wear your crown

some cruel penitence for what?

what's so funny

box full o' honey

is she flirting with me now

ooh is she dallying with me now?

ooh are you flirting with me now?

you'll always be my

queen of tumbledown

miss melancholy

are you laughing at me now?

in my circumstance

when still I wear your crown

and my life's a penitence for what?

what's so funny?

ain't it funny

NÁDOBA PLNÁ MEDU

Na ostrom okraji toho čo vidíme

Na rozhraní medzi tebou a mnou

Pri všetkých dobrých zmysloch

neodvažujem sa vykročiť ďalej

A ako duch rozochvejem stromy

Ako sa potácam na roztrasených nohách

Ale aj tak som stále priťahovaný šepotom

Teraz sa mi smeješ?

V mojom rozpoložení

Keď ja stále nosím tvoju korunu

Môj život je pokáním.. A začo?

Čo ti je také smiešne?

Nádoba plná medu

To, o čom som si myslel, že je krásna melódia

Bolo len zavíjanie na mesiac

Ktoré mi malo dnes večer robiť spoločnosť

Tak osamelé v tomto svinstve

A drása to až do hĺbky

Že som ťa tak veľkodušne opustil

Teraz sa mi smeješ?

V mojom rozpoložení

Keď ja stále nosím tvoju korunu

Tak kruté pokánie.. A začo?

Čo ti je také smiešne?

Nádoba plná medu

Teraz so mnou flirtuje?

Teraz sa so mnou zahráva?

Ach, ty teraz so mnou flirtuješ?

Ty budeš vždy mojou

Kráľovnou pádu

Miss melanchólia

Teraz sa mi smeješ?

V mojom rozpoložení

Keď ja stále nosím tvoju korunu

A môj život je pokáním.. A začo?

Čo ti je také smiešne

Nie je to smiešne!

Nádoba plná medu

walking under skies, waiting for the fall

meet me at the cornershop I show you it all

free you of your mind, something you won’t find

in the West End pages
 with yer Google-dirty fingers

it’s a skin dive

in deep,   silence,   we are ... going underwater

it’s a lifeline

teardrop,  bullets,   all night ... dip into the water

Baby, that's what it feels like
when you come up for air

When you come up for air

You feel brand new,
when you come up for air

When you come up for air

That's what it feels like when you come up for air

When you come up for air

You feel brand new,
 when you come up for air

When you come up for air

wipe us off the face of the human race

whichever way you look
 it’s indisposed or disgraced

fighting on the shore, the hoi polloi want more

howling bloody murder
but it’s nothing, just a murmur

in your skin dive

in deep,   silence, we are ... going underwater

it’s a lifeline

teardrop,  bullets, all night ... slip into the water

Baby, that's what it feels like
when you come up for air

When you come up for air

You feel brand new,
when you come up for air

When you come up for air

That's what it feels like when you come up for air

When you come up for air

You feel brand new,
when you come up for air

When you come up for air

a blushing rose is torn from these sugar walls

I misplaced my future,
could I please borrow yours?

paint it opalscene, you know what I mean

anything you want to be,
the only thing you want from me ...

skin dive

in deep,   silence, we are  ... going underwater

it’s a lifeline 

teardrop,  bullets, all night ... going South Dakota

Baby girl, you swimmin' a little too deep

So deep that I think you might hit a reef

I think you're low on oxygen
and your tube got a leak

Baby girl, swim to the top

Grab my hand and hold me and breath

Baby, that's what it feels like
when you come up for air

When you come up for air

You feel brand new,
when you come up for air

When you come up for air

That's what it feels like when you come up for air

When you come up for air

You feel brand new,
when you come up for air

TEMPTED

Jupiter rising through the flow

you require a little bit more

to excite you to go

getting busy on the floor

all about the way you move it

when you really got to prove it

finally you will know

what it is you're turning on

That is gonna tempt you - oh yeah

Like you know it's meant to - oh yeah

Devil gonna tempt you - oh yeah

How much do you want to? - oh oh

give thanks to London coming undone

when you ride the underground

sonic islands breaking silence

got your party started now

and you love way you move it

when you really got to prove it

finally it's what you do

what it is you're turning on

That is gonna tempt you - oh yeah

Like you know it's meant to - oh yeah

Devil gonna tempt you - oh yeah

How much do you want to? - oh oh

That is gonna tempt you

Like you know it's meant to 

oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, oh yeah, ...

If you want to know what it is you're turning on

Do you want to know what it is you're turning on

....What it is you're turning on

Finally you will know what it is you're turning on

SHE´S TOO MUCH

she's gentle to the touch

she's everything head-first

so happy to be causing trouble

sometimes the pressure gets too much

and you think she's going to burst

and shatter like a Xmas bauble

I'll be there when the world is coming down upon her

when she's scared I'll be there fighting in her corner

she cries when she's alone

for all life’s little knocks

everything that's supposed to make us tougher

thinking it doesn't really show

but I know how she hurts

and I can't bear to see her suffer

I'll be there when the world is coming down upon her

when she's scared I'll be there fighting in her corner

I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her

in the air as she falls with my arms around her

holding on I'm looking out for her thin skin

because she's everything - and I don't think she knows

She’s such a gentle touch

She’s too much a gentle touch

she likes to catch the sun

plays with it like a ball

and never mind whatever keeps it burning

someday she might just be the one

who's going to save us all

if this apocalypse is coming

I'll be there when the world is coming down upon her

when she's scared I'll be there fighting in her corner

I'll be there when the walls are closing to surround her

in the air as she falls with my arms around her

holding on I'm looking out for her thin skin

because she's everything – but I don't think she knows

I don’t think she knows

she is such – a  gentle touch - I don’t think she knows

she’s too much – the  gentle touch - I don’t think she knows

she is such – a  gentle touch - I dont think she knows

Je jemná na dotyk

Do všetkého sa vrhá po hlave

Tak šťastná, keď spôsobuje problémy

Občas je už tlak prisilný

A tebe sa zdá, že už už praskne

A roztriešti sa ako vianočná guľa

Budem tam, keď na ňu svet bude padať

Keď bude vystrašená, budem tam, bojovať v jej rohu

Plače keď je osamote

Pre všetky drobné kopance od života

Pre všetko, čo by nás malo posilniť

Mysliac si, že to v skutočnosti nevidno

Ale ja viem, ako ju to bolí

A nedokážem zniesť jej utrpenie

Budem tam, keď na ňu svet bude padať

Keď bude vystrašená, budem tam, bojovať v jej rohu

Budem tam,keď sa budú steny približovať, aby ju obkľúčili

Vo vzduchu, keď bude padať,budú moje ramená okolo nej

A držiac ju budem dávať pozor na jej jemnú pokožku

Pretože ona je všetko – a myslím že nevie

Ona je tak nežný dotyk

Ona je jemnučký dotyk

Má rada, keď môže chytiť slnko

A hrať sa s ním ako s loptou

A nikdy sa nestarať, čo všetko zapaľuje

Jedného dňa by ona mohla byť tá jediná

Ktorá nás všetkých zachráni

Ak táto apokalypsa príde

Budem tam, keď na ňu svet bude padať

Keď bude vystrašená, budem tam, bojovať v jej rohu

Budem tam,keď sa budú steny približovať, aby ju obkľúčili

Vo vzduchu, keď bude padať,budú moje ramená okolo nej

A držiac ju budem dávať pozor na jej jemnú pokožku

Pretože ona je všetko – ale myslím že nevie

Myslím že nevie

Ona je tak - nežný dotyk – myslím že nevie

Ona je – jemnučký dotyk – myslím že nevie

Ona je tak - nežný dotyk – myslím že nevie

Ona je – jemnučký dotyk

DIRTY GREAT MONSTER

There's a dirty great monster in this house

we pretend that it's not there

and there’s escape from it’s grip

but nobody seems to care

do you ever wonder

about the days

when we were straight?

but Daddy got the hunger

so much to hide

we learned to lie

so watch yourself in the hallway

you’re not supposed to know

but we're all afraid of each other

we’re the victims in this show

well do you ever wonder

about the days 

when we were straight

when Daddy got the hunger

so much to hide

we learned to lie

silently outnumbered

we made mistakes

because we were straight

now we're all going under

and so with sigh

LAST MAN STANDING

Now an unexpected  peace comes to the day

as  the howling din of fighting dies away

when the hanging dust is clearing from air

you begin to see a lonely figure there

he's the last man standing on the track

he does not look down he does not look back

he's the last man standing on the track

you can't hold him down you can't hold him back

the last man standing on the track

he does not look down he does not look back

he's the last man standing on the track

you can't hold him down you can't hold him back

he is sorry for wrong that he has done

and he's cries out for the  anger borne so long

all the cuts and bruises suffered in who's name

but now is not the time to face his shame

he's the last man standing on the track

he does not look down he does not look back

he's the last man standing on the track

you can't hold him down you can't hold him back

the last man standing on the track

he does not look down he does not look back

he's the last man standing on the track

you can't hold him down you can't hold him back
