Альбом Portishead

Did you sweep us far from your feet
Reset in stone this stark belief
Salted eyes and a soiled dye
Too many years

But don't despair this day, will be their damnedest day
Ooh, if you take these things from me
Did you feed us tales of deceit
Conceal the tongues who need to speak
Subtle lies and a soiled queen
The truth is sold, the deal is done
But don't despair this day, will be their damnedest day
Ooh, if you take these things from me

Undefied, no signs of regret
Your swollen pride assumes respect
Talons fly as a last disguise
But no return, the time has come
So don't despair this day, will be their damnedest day
Ooh, if you take these things from me
Ooh, if you take these things from me

All the stars may shine bright
All the clouds may be white
But when you smile
Oh how i feel so good
That i can hardly wait
To hold you
Enfold you
Never enough
Render your heart to me
All mine, you have to be
From that cloud, number nine
Danger starts the sharp incline
And such sad regrets
Oh as those starry skies
As they swiftly fall
Make no mistake, You shan't escape
Tethered and tied
There's nowhere to hide from me
All mine, you have to be
So don't resist
We shall exist
Until the day
Until the day, i die
All mine
You have to be

Your softly spoken words
Release my whole desire
Undenied, totally
And so bare is my heart
I can't hide
And so where does my heart
Belong
Beneath your tender touch
My sense can't divide
Oh so strong
My desire
For so bare is my heart
I can't hide
And so where does my heart
Belong
Now that i've found you
And seen behind those eyes
How can i
Carry on
For so bare is my heart
I can't hide
And so where does my heart
Belong
Belong, belong, belong

In the days, the golden days
When everybody knew what they wanted
It ain't here today
Through the times of lasting love
when parents talked of things tried and tested
They don't feel the same
Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on
From beyond the shrinking skies
Where money talks and leaves us hypnotized
It dont' pave the way
Underneath the fading sun
The silent sum of a businessman
Has left us choking
Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on
In the days, the golden days
When everybody knew what they wanted
It ain't here today
Dreams and belief have gone
Time, life itself goes on

I can't hold this state
Anymore
Understand me
Anymore
To tread this fantasy, openly
What have i done
Oh, this uncertainty
Is taking me over
I can't mould this stage
Anymore
Recognize me
Anymore
To tread this fantasy, openly
What have i done
Oh, this uncertainty
Is taking me over

Closer
No hesitation
Give me
All that you have
And it's been so long, that I can't explain
And it's been so wrong
Right now, so wrong
Naked
My thoughts are creeping
To late
The show has begun
And it's been so long, that I can't confess
And it's been so wrong
Right now, so wrong
Is it all as it seems
So unresolved, so unredeemed
If I remain, how will I know
And it's been so long, that I can't be sure
And it's been so wrong
Right now, so wrong

Did I see a moment with you
In a half lit world
I'm frightened to believe
But I must try
If I stumble if I fall
I'm reaching out in this mourning air, ohh

Have I got the strength to ask
Beyond the window
I feel this fear alone
Until we have
Total honesty
If I tremble or fall
I'm reaching out in this mourning air, ohh

Should I feel a moment with you
To softly whisper
I crave nothing else so much
Longing to reveal
Total honesty
I can feel your touch
I'm reaching out in this mourning air, ohh
I'm reaching out in this mourning air, ohh

How can i forget you
Disregard how i feel
Silently listen
To the words i can't see
As long as i have tried
As low as i can be
I will never resign myself
From the trial i seek
Why should i forgive you
After all that i've seen
Quietly whisper
When my heart wants to scream
For as long as i have tried
And as low as i can be
I will never resign myself
From the trial i seek
There's no time to rest
Or to reconsider
For this cruel unsaid
Won't concede

We suffer everyday, what is it for
These crowns of illusion, are fooling us all
And now I am weary and I feel like I do

It's only you, who can tear me apart
And it's only you, who can turn my wooden heart

The size of our fight, it's just a dream
We've crushed everything I can see, in this morning selfishly
How we've failed and I feel like I do

It's only you, who can tear me apart
And it's only you, who can turn my wooden heart

Now that we've chosen to take all we can
The shade of autumn, a stale bitter end
Years of frustration lay down side by side

And it's only you, who can tear me apart
And it's only you, who can turn my wooden heart
It's only you, who can tear me apart
And it's only you, who can turn my wooden heart

No one has said what the truth should be
And no one decided that i'd feel this way
If you felt as i did
Would you betray yourself
But you can't deny how i feel
And you can't decide for me
No one should fear what they cannot see
And no one's to blame its just hypocrisy
its written in your eyes
And how i despise myself
But you can't deny how i feel
And you can't decide for me
And its your heart
That's so wrong
Mistaken
You'll never know
Your feathered sacred self
But you can't deny how i feel
And you can't decide for me
And you can't deny how i feel
And why should you decide for me

Forgotten throes at anothers life
The heart of love is their only light
Faithless greeds consolidating
Holding down sweet charity
With western eyes and serpent's breath
We lay our own conscience to rest
But i'm aching
At the view
Yes i'm breaking
At the scenes just like you
They have values of a certain taste
The innocent they can hardly wait
To crucify invalidating
Turning to dishonesty
With western eyes and serpents breath
They lay their own conscience to rest
But then they lie and then they dare to be
Hidden heroes candidly
So i'm aching
At the view
Yes i'm breaking
At the scenes just like you

I feel so cold
On hookers and gin
This mess we're in
