Paroles de "I Against I"  à  "Lover, You Should've Come Over"






I Against IBad Brains

In the quest for the test to fulfil an achievement , everybody’s only in it for themselves.
But the fact of the matter is they don’t care to extend a helping hand to anyone else.
So tell me why you had to lie and try to make me all confused about the USA
When the fact of the matter is you just don’t care to comprehend or understand a single word I say.

I don’t want to have I go against I
I don’t want to have I go against I
Oh let me tell you
And it’s the same old story no factual glory
I against I against I against I against I
And I say I don’t like it and I know I don’t want it
I against I against I against I against I
Almighty watching , almighty watching
I against I against I against I against I
And I say I don’t like it and I know I don’t want it
I against I against I against I against I

I said who is gonna tell the youth the truth about the drug , mugs , bugs , and the police thugs
About the rotten stinkin’ rackets and the fantasies around the nations
Oh baby what you gonna do I tell you the truth is looking straight at you
I got a brass continental , a 300-Z , two colour T.V.S now video too
I got a rest home in Jamaica for my fantasy for my family
Around the nation . . . Around the nation . . . What you gonna do ?
 
 

I Know It’s Over - The Smiths

Oh mother , I can feel the soil falling over my head
And as I climb into an empty bed - oh well , enough said
I know it’s over , still I cling , I don’t know where else I can go
Over and over

Oh mother , I can feel the soil falling over my head
See the sea wants to take me , the knife wants to slit me
Do you think you can help me
Sad veiled bride please be happy – handsome groom give her room
Loud loutish lover treat her kindly though she needs you
More than she loves you and I know it’s over – still I cling
I don’t know where else I can go
Over and over

I know it’s over and it never really began but in my heart it was so real
And she even spoke to me and said
“If you’re so funny , then why are you on your own tonight ?”
“And if you’re so clever then why are you on your own tonight ? “
“And if you’re so very entertaining then why are you on your own tonight ? “
“And if you’re so very good looking then why do you sleep alone tonight ? “
I know – ‘cos tonight is just like any other night
That’s why you’re on your own tonight
With your triumphs and your charms – while they’re in each other’s arms

It’s so easy to laugh , it’s so easy to hate it takes strength to be gentle and kind
Over and over
It’s so easy to laugh it’s so easy to hate it takes guts to be gentle and kind
Over and over
Love is natural and real – but not for you my love not tonight my love
Love is natural and real – but not for such as you and I my love
Oh mother
 
 

I Know We Could Be So Happy Baby ( If We Wanted To Be)

There’s no easy answer
None to blame or forgive
Two cripples dancing
To the end we live

I’m not with you not of you
Not with you, not of you
You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
And I hope I’ll catch you
In the throws of one last look at the wonder
One last look at the wonder

O, God, I love you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else we come to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be

You are soft and young to me
I am the ghost who comes and goes
I'm hoping that I’ll catch you in the throws
Of one last look at joy that we’ve become

But there’s no easy answer, none to blame or forgive
We were two cripples dancing
To the bitter end we live
I’m not with you, but of you
I’m not with you but of you

O, God, I loved you
And all the past we once knew
Some other love becomes you
Whatever else it comes to
I know we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be

We had a birthplace in common
We had separate beds and lives

I’ll just sit here and glow
Break out the oldest pictures
Hand your ruined letters out to dry
We had a birthplace in common
And separate beds and lives
And lives, and lives
I know that we could be so happy, baby
If we wanted to be
I know that we could be so happy, baby
Yeah oh
 
 

I Loves You PorgyGeorge Gershwin - Extrait de l’opéra “Porgy and Bess”.

I loves you Porgy
Don’t let him take me
Don’t let him handle me
And drive me mad
If you can keep me
I like to stay here
With you forever
And I’ll be so glad

Someday , he’s coming back to call me
He’s gonna handle me and hold me so
It’s gonna feel like dying , Porgy
Dying dying deep inside me
But when he calls I know I have to go

I loves you Porgy
Don’t let him take me
Don’t let him handle me
With his hard hand
If you can keep me
I like to stay here
With you forever
Cause I got my man
With you forever
Cause I’ve got my man
 
 

I Never Ask To Be Your Mountain  - Tim Buckley

Oh I never ask to be your mountain
I never ask to fly
Remember when you came to me
And told me of his lies
You didn’t understand my love
You don’t know why I try
And the rain was falling on that day
And damn the reason why

The flying pisces sails for time
And tells me of my child
Wrapped in bitter tales and heartache
He begs for just a smile
Oh he never ask to be her mountain
He never ask to fly
And through his eyes he comes his love
And tells her not to cry

She says , “your scoundrel father flies
With a dancer called a queen
And with her stolen cards he plays
And laughs , but never wins”
Oh the child dreams to be his hands
In the counting of the rain
But only barren breasts he feels
For her milk will never drain

As I die I can remember
Where I saw the rain :
Could it be that her laughter
Drove me down again ?
Charming dancer , will you  stop,
Stop and talk to me ?
In your dreams You will , you see :
In midnight gazes
I’ve found you far from me
If you lead me on
Please leave me down

Oh flying lying fish
Please flutter by my door
Yes you can drink my lies
If first you read my eyes
Each one is titles
“I’m drowning back to you”
I can’t swim your waters
And you can’t walk my lands
I’m sailing all my sins
And I’m climbing all my fears
And soon I’ll fly

Oh I never ask to be your mountain
I never ask to fly
Remember when you came to me
And told me of his lies
You didn’t understand my love
You don’t know why I try
And the rain was falling on that day
And that’s the reason why

Sweet lover , will you come back
And love me for a while ?
Please take my hand
Leave all your fears behind

I’ve been gone too long
Now I’m home to stay
Please don’t leave me
Again this way

Please come home
 
 

In The Cantina - Encore une fois, il s’agit d’une chanson de l’époque Gods & Monsters et toute aide pour l’amélioration de la transcription des paroles est vraiment la bienvenue !

It’s so dark in my home
With this world I live alone
Whiskey (soul) in my sunrise
In my hell like a silvereyes
In the cantina
Some (strange) story now
I’m here sleeping
In a …. silver
And now my home is cantina
In her rooms from rushes
All I love is now ashes
Windows shows by the shown
All my love
I’ll find it crying this eve at night
All my love
Is mother dirked
Is brother dirked
Dying….. lovers town to this world
So their home is a cantina

In her rooms … from rushes
When all your love will be ashes
In the dark stormy windows
Whiskey (soul)at my nightfall
All my love
I’ll be finding crying this eve at night
All my love
Oh to be ……
Say back home
Draw around for me and my friends a cantina
 
 

I Shall Be ReleasedBob Dylan

They say everything can be replaced
Yet every distance is not near
So I remember every face
Of every man who put me here

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

They say every man needs protection
They say every man must fall
Yet I swear I see my reflection
Some place so high above this wall

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

Standing next to me in this lonely crowd
Is a man who swears he's not to blame
All day long I hear him shout so loud
Crying out that he was framed

I see my light come shining
From the west unto the east
Any day now, any day now
I shall be released

I Want Someone Badly - Jeff Buckley & Shudder To Think
C'est une chanson composée pour la BO du film First Love, Last Rites, inédit en France

Now I want someone badly
Got a girl here tonight
Want someone new
Someone new

But little cry wants someone badly
Wanna know if this is a bad lease on me
I want know
I want know
Am I sure that I heard you right
I want to know
If you're leaving just do it tonight

Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
But listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything do it for me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right
Now I want someone badly
Could it be true
That someone is you
 
 

I Woke Up In A Strange Place

Ghost comes to visit with my keys in his pocket
Kisses on my mouth with his eyes
Hanging out of his sockets
Memories crumbling under still resistance
I was torn out like pages of the book of existence

I woke up in a strange place
Music so loud that I spilled all my beer
I made a call for my blackened cab
Some destination was moving on in
I remember the words that you hold me
Now they come down so hard , so plain
Fate is gonna find your love
In a glass of champagne

Love came calling as a counterfeit mistress
Stealing from the pockets of a sadomasochist
And she's mouthing for this place like a tongue on crystal meth
Her cigarette smelling like the fear inside my chest

I woke up in a strange place
My mind a blur and some red on my chin
I made a ride in that blackened cab
Some destination is moving on in
Easy now , this car was speeding up
For my last chance crashing to freedom
Fate in a glass of champagne

Sweat pours down
You’re in the back seat sleeping
And she waits by the window
From an empty bed , weeping
The ghost guns the motor
To the promised land he promised you
I guess this is the time when the best intentions become facts again

This is no story for the dislocated
You’re gonna love but it turned to be hated
Because of the lies of the spirit possessed you
Because of the eyes of your lover resist you
Listen up you keep your aim steady
As your temple turns to kiss the pistol
Fate is gonna find your love . . . in a glass of champagne
 
 

If You See Her , Say Hello – Bob Dylan

If you see her , say hello , she might be in Tangier
She left here last early spring , is livin’ there , I hear
Say for me that I’m all right though things get kind of slow
She might think that I’ve forgotten her , don’t tell her it isn’t go

We had a falling out , like lovers often will
And to think of how she left that night , it still brings me a chill
And though our separation , it pierced me to the heart
She still lives inside of me , we’ve never been apart

If you get close to her , kiss her once for me
I always have respected her for busting out and getting free
Oh whatever makes her happy , I won’t stand in the way
Though the bitter taste still lingers on from the night
I tried to make her stay

I see a lot of people as I make the rounds
And I hear her name here and there as I go from town to town
And I’ve never gotten used to it , I’ve just learned to turnit off
Either I’m too sensitive or else I’m getting soft

Sundorn  , yellow moon , I replay the past
I know every scene by heart , they all went by so fast
If she’s passin’ back this way , I’m not that hard to find
Tell her she can look me up if she got’s the time
 
 

Je N’En Connais Pas La Fin – Edith Piaf

I used to know a little square
So long ago when I was small
All summer long it had a fair
And at the close of everyday

I could be found dancing around
A merry-go-round that used to play
Oh mon amour , à toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux , rien que nous deux

All summer long my little fair
Made everyday like a holiday
Night after night it used to play
And people came there from so far away
And everyone sang that little tune
All around town you heard it played

Even Pepi from Napoli
He sang to Marie this serenade
Oh mon amour , à toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux , rien que nous deux

I can’t forget my little square
Even though I’m so far away
I can’t forget my little fair
Maybe it’s still there , still there today

I sometimes hear that little tune
Playing in a dream of long ago
And in my brain runs the refrain
That old French refrain I used to know

Oh mon amour , à toi toujours
Dans tes grands yeux , rien que nous deux
 
 

Jewel Box

I know you’re a woman
By the way you burn below
I’ll tell you secrets so good
You’ll never tell a soul
Come closer, that bonfire holds his life like stones
My years, my life unknown

Diamonds from the pavement
Where a broken glass had been
Just like these troubles that I’m leaving to the wind
Like sapphires in boxcars speeding towards the end
Like thieves, my bad luck grows

Jewel box of sadness
Bring to catch your tear
Crystalize illusion shine forgot I’m here
Jewel box of sadness
Bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly

Star crossed child’s love on the bands of wedding gold
Silver studs of promise hide in the red crushed velvet folds
Inaction, intention, like emeralds I stole
My speech of custom gold
I think I ought to know

Jewel box of sadness
Bring to catch your tears
Crystalize illusion shine, forgot I’m here
Jewel box of sadness
Bring to catch your tear
Oh, you left some stars in my belly
You left some stars in my belly
You left some star in my belly
 
 

Jolly Street - Cette chanson est le fruit d’une collaboration avec les Jazz Passengers. Elle apparaît sur l’album In Love , épuisé aujourd’hui.

Slow birds
No breeze
Iron hearts
Rust in streams

Long march
Small crimes
Soft words
W  h  i  s  p  e  r
It’s time to come home – your eyes
To bring back – yours charms
To sit ream still
In my arms

Clocks tick
Trees pound
Lions roar
On empty streets

Long lists
In black and white
Shh … red words
That read like the Fourth of July
You’re home
Look at me
You’re home
You’re home
In my arms
 
 

Just Like A Woman – Bob Dylan

Nobody feels any pain
Tonight as I stand inside the rain
Ev'rybody knows
That Baby's got new clothes
But lately I see her ribbons and her bows
Have fallen from her curls
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
Buy she breaks just like a little girl

Queen Mary, she's my friend
Yes, I believe I'll go see her again
Nobody has to guess
That Baby can't be blessed
Till she sees finally that she's like all the rest
With her fog, her amphetamine and her pearls
She takes just like a woman, yes, she does
She makes love just like a woman, yes, she does
And she aches just like a woman
But she breaks just like a little girl

It was raining from the first
And I was dying there of thirst
So I came in here
And your long-time curse hurts
But what's worse
Is this pain in here
I can't stay in here
Ain't it clear that

I just can't fit
Yes, I believe it's time for us to quit
When we meet again
Introduced as friends
Please don't let on that you knew me when
I was hungry and it was your world
Ah, you fake just like a woman, yes, you do
You make love just like a woman, yes, you do
Then you ache just like a woman
But you break just like a little girl
 
 

Kangaroo - Big Star

I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide
Anything
I saw you leaving, oh
I saw you staring out in space

I next saw you
You was at the party
Thought you was a dream
Oh so flirty
I came against

Didn't say excuse
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
'Cause we were leaving
The same jerk
Doing a cool jerk
Oh, I want you
Like a kangaroo

Kangaroo – Phoenician theatre – Mystery White Boy

I first saw you
You had on blue jeans
Your eyes couldn't hide
Anything
I saw you breathing, oh
I saw you staring out in space

I next saw you
You were at the party
Thought you was a queen
Oh so flirty
I came against

Didn't say excuse
Knew what I was doing
We looked very fine
As we were leaving
As we were making
What we were making
Oh …

Saint Joan
Doing a cool jerk
Oh I want you
Like a kangaroo, oh
Yes, yes, yes, yes, oh oh
 
 

Kick Out The Jams – The MC5

I‘ m gonna kick’em out

Well I feel pretty good
And I guess that I could get crazy now , baby
Cause we all got in tune
When the dressing room got hazy now , baby

I know how you want it , child
Hot , sweet , and tight
The girls can’t stand it
When you’re doing it right
When they’re up on the stand
And then they kick out the jams , yes
Kick out the jams , I like to kick ‘em out

Yes I’m starting to sweat
You know my shirt’s all wet
What a feeling
And the sound that abounds and resounds and rebounds
Off the culing
You gotta have it , baby
You can’t do without
When you get the feeling
You’ve got the sounds above
Put that mic in my hand
And let me kick out the jams
Yes kick out the jams , go to kick ‘em out

So you go to get it up
And then can’t get enough
That’s what …
Cause it gets in your brain
It drives you insane , makes you crazy
The faster you funk
If you wanna feed my rocket
Till the morning comes
Let me be who I am
And let me be who kick out the jams
Yes kick out the jams
I done kick ‘em out
 
 

Killing Time – The Creatures

I wait and wait
Sleepwalk the hourglass
This way and that
The pendulum swings
Yes there's plenty of time
Always time left to kill
Does time stand still
Or hurtle on by ?

Let time unwind
Let all the cogs fall out
Let mans machines
Collapse and rust
Face down in the dust
I’ll kiss no other lips
A life time of nothing
Condemned without you

Been so long here
I could die here
Lying by your side
But time won't claim me
Time and me only
I'm just killing time

If the sun went out
I wouldn't mind too much
Who needs the days
To trouble to fill ?
If the moon didn't rise
I wouldn't be upset
Who needs moonshine
To cause tears to spill ?

I've been so long here
I could lie here
Under dying sky
This thirst and hunger
Holds no wonder
I'm just killing time

I await your return
There's no other one
 
 

Last Goodbye

This is our last goodbye
I hate to feel the love between us die
But it’s over
Just hear this and then I’ll go
You gave me more to live for
More than you’ll ever know

This is our last embrace
Must I dream and always see your face
Why can’t we overcome this wall
Well maybe it’s just because
I didn’t know you at all

Kiss me , please kiss me
But kiss me out of desire , babe
And not consolation
You know ,  it makes me so angry
Cause I know that in time
I’ll only make you cry
This is our last goodbye

Did you say  “no, this can’t happen to me “
And did you rush to the phone to call
Was there a voice unkind
In the back of your mind saying
Maybe you didn’t know him at all
You didn’t know him at all

Well, the bells out in the church tower crime
Burning clues into this heart of mine
Thinking so hard on her soft eyes and the memories
Of her sighs that it’s over , it’s over…

Let's Bomb The Moonlight – Jeff Buckley (?)

So well
The world is diagnosed with terminal cancer
Flesh is not human this culture is not freedom
Fnd the world has terminal cancer
I want to live with you

Let's bomb the moonlight and dance

This far awake is a joke our love is real
And the world is diagnosed with terminal cancer
I love your lips ...(?)...

Armageddon's just another job, it's all on the inside
Don't let them tell you love is a lie
Love is so real
The best bet's to stay alive

Let's go bomb the moonlight
Let's take it back
What was ours by right
Frame of a picture, the subject's not right

Oh people of the world
You have a new boy in town
To share the light with a guillotine
That's realer than all of you
That's love human.

We'll bomb the moonlight and dance
Dance

Sweet black mother of death
Why did you have to take her away from me?
It's stupid all the words fit together
Where now is nothing
Why did you have to bring us together,
Under such dirty circumstance?
I have a molotov
Let's bomb the moonlight and dance
Dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance dance

Lilac Wine – Nina Simone

I lost myself on a cool damp night
Gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree

I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I wanna see
And be what I want to be

When I think more than I wanted to think
Do things I never should do
I drink much more than I ought  to drink
Because it brings me back to you

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, like my love
Lilac wine I feel unsteady, like my love

Listen to me, I cannot see clearly
Isn’t that she’s coming to me nearly here

Lilac wine is sweet and heady, where’s my love
Lilac wine I feel unsteady, where’s my love

Listen to me, why everything so hazy
Isn’t that she, or am I just going crazy, dear

Lilac wine, I feel unready for my love
 
 

Lost Highway – Hank Williams

I'm a rollin' stone all alone and lost
For a life of sin I have paid the cost
When I walk by all the people say
Just another guy on the lost highway

Just a deck of cards and a jug of wine
And a woman's lies makes a life like mine
All the day we met, I went astray
I started rolling down this lost highway

I was just a lad, nearly twenty two
Neither good nor bad, just a kid who liked room
And now I'm lost, too late to pray
Lord I paid a cost, on the lost highway

Now boy's don't start to ramblin' round
On this road of sin are you sorrow bound
Take my advice or you'll curse the day
You started rollin' down that lost highway
Lost highway
 
 

Lover, You  Should’ve Come Over

Looking out the door I see the rain fall upon the funeral mourners
Parading in a wake of sad relations as their shoes fill up with water
And maybe I’m too young to keep good love from going wrong
But tonight you're on my mind so you never know

When I’m broken down and hungry for your love with no way to feed it
Where are you tonight, child you know how much I need it
Too young to hold on and too old to just break free and run

Sometimes a man gets carried away, when he feels like he should be having his fun
And much too blind to see the damage he's done
Sometimes a man must awake to find that really, he has no-one

So I’ll wait for you … and I’ll burn
Will I ever see your sweet return
Oh will I ever learn

Oh lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late

Lonely is the room, the bed is made, the open window lets the rain in
Burning in the corner is the only one who dreams he had you with him
My body turns and yearns for a sleep that will never come

It's never over, my kingdom for a kiss upon her shoulder
It's never over, all my riches for her smiles when I slept so soft against her
It's never over, all my blood for the sweetness of her laughter
It's never over, she's the tear that hangs inside my soul forever

Well maybe I’m just too young
To keep good love from going wrong

Oh ... lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late

Well I feel too young to hold on
And I’m much too old to break free and run
Too deaf, dumb, and blind to see the damage I’ve done
Sweet lover, you should've come over
Oh, love well I’m waiting for you

Lover, you should've come over
Cause it's not too late
