Paroles Erasuremegamix par Peter Gabriel

Tempered by greed
Tall buildings breathe
Give a sigh of relief when it's night
Stirring from sleep
We night-owls creep
Is there any sign of life under this stone?

Star chime hollow and true
Love, child

Weep for me...
And I will cast your wheels in motion
Walk with me...
The inner reaches of emotion

Sheltered by creed
One piled on one
Do you have a little room for one small one?

Light shine wild and free
Sun, rise

Weep for me...
And I will cast your wheels in motion
Keep with me...
And like a roller on the ocean
Stand by me...
And I will fill you with devotion
Walk with me...
The inner reaches of emotion

Here we are
In the sunshine
Everything is fine
Here we are
Everything, everything is fine

Weep for me...
The sands of time will fill the ocean
Keep with me...
And rays of sunshine fill the ocean
Walk with me...
The inner reaches of emotion


Don't ever let me take you for granted
You've got your finger on the pulse of my soul
Let me place a kiss in the small of your back
Love can protect you from the evils of this world

Oh baby don't ever leave me stranded
Whoever said that the streets were paved with gold?
Well I'm afraid that we're all sadly mistaken
There's nothing here 'til we have someone to hold

I love you with all the joy of living
'Til the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
And there's magic in the air

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
'Til I'm lost and found
You surround me with your senses

If love wasn't here would we reinvent it?
Oh take me down to the very root of my soul
Oh baby say it as if you really mean it
And feel the passion work its way up through your skin

I love you with all the joy of living
'Til the lights go down in New York City
It's a special love affair
And there's magic in the air

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
'Til I'm lost and found
You surround me with your senses

Let me take you by the hand
And we can go and find a brand new world
Starlight - starbright
(Starbright, starbright, starbright, starbright, starbright...)


You gotta take me by the hand (take me by the hand)
And we can go and hide in this world (hide in this world)
Starlight, starlight, starlight...

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
'Til I'm lost and found
You surround me with your senses

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
'Til I'm lost and found
You surround me with your senses

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
'Til I'm lost and found
You surround me with your senses

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round to my senses
'Til I'm lost and found
You surround me with your senses

You gotta shake me down
Bring me 'round...

The deal is on the rise again
The ship comes into shore
You've been away to somewhere
But life goes on no less

Through the foreign ocean
Underneath the sea

The walls come tumbling down
We'll be forever calm
And you'll be here in my arms
I'll keep you away from harm

I thought about you twice just then
You get me every time
Keeps coming out of nowhere
It cannot be defined

Your colours are magnificent
From magenta to bright blue

The walls come tumbling down
We'll be forever calm
And you'll be here in my arms
I'll keep you away from harm


Through the foreign ocean
Underneath the sea

The walls come tumbling down
We'll be forever calm
And you'll be here in my arms
I'll keep you away from harm

The walls come tumbling down
We'll be forever calm
And you'll be here in my arms
I'll keep you away from harm

The walls come tumbling down
We'll be forever calm

Climbing up on Solsbury Hill
I could see the city light
Wind was blowing, time stood still
Eagle flew out of the night

He was something to observe
Came in close, I heard a voice
Standing stretching every nerve
I had to listen had no choice

I did not believe the information
Just had to trust imagination
My heart was going boom boom boom
"Son," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

To keeping silence I resigned
My friends would think I was a nut
Turning water into wine
Open doors would soon be shut

So I went from day to day
Though my life was in a rut
'Till I thought of what I'd say
Which connection I should cut

I was feeling part of the scenery
I walked right out of the machinery
My heart was going boom boom boom
"Hey," he said, "Grab your things, I've come to take you home."

When illusion spin her net
I'm never where I want to be
And liberty she pirouette
When I think that I am free

Watched by empty silhouettes
Who close their eyes, but still can see
No one taught them etiquette
I will show another me

Today I don't need a replacement
I'll tell them what the smile on my face meant
My heart was going boom boom boom
"Hey," I said, "You can keep my things, they've come to take me home."

"Son", he said
He said

What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake his lover?
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

I try to discover
A little something to make me sweeter
Oh, baby, refrain
From breaking my heart

I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
Why you're making me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me

And if I should falter
Would you open your arms out to me?
We can make love not war
And live in peace with our hearts

I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue
What religion or reason could drive a man to forsake?
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no
Don't you tell me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me


I'm so in love with you, I'll be forever blue
That you give me no reason
You know you're making me work so hard
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no
That you give me no

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to me (little respect)

Soul, I hear you calling
Oh, baby, please give a little respect to... (little respect)

How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken

Don't give up
Don't
Break the chains of love
Break these chains of love

How can I explain
When there are few words I can choose
How can I explain
When words get broken

Do you remember?


We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others
Our sisters and our brothers

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Don't give up now (Don't)
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love

Together we'll break these chains of love
Break these chains of love

Don't give up (Don't give up)
Don't give up now (Don't)
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love

Don't
Break the chains of love
Break these chains of love

Don't give up
Don't
Break the chains of...
Love

Do you remember
Once upon a time ahaha
When there were open doors
An invitation to the world
We were falling in and out with lovers
Looking out for others
Our sisters and our brothers

Come to me, cover me, hold me
Together we'll break these chains of love
Don't give up (Don't give up)
Don't give up now (Don't)
Together with me and my baby
Break the chains of love

Together we'll break these chains of love
Break the chains of love
(Don't)

If you change your mind

Honey, I'm still free
Take a chance on me
If you need me, let me know
And I'll be around
If you got no place to go

As long as we are together (together)
Listen to some music
Maybe just talking
Get to know you better

Cause you know I've got
So much that I wanna do
When I dream I'm alone with you
It's magic
You wanted to leave me there
Afraid of a love affair
But if you think you know......
But I can let go

I'm the first in line
Honey, I'm still free

If you like what you're seeing take a chance with me, ya!
You won't be grabbed if you're feeling horny
Well, you've passes so you got to know this precious property

Nobody sits, understand me clearly
However hard he try, could he never own me
We all fit nice and just move freely
Special K, what he says all said carefully
Me not sit all along and just wait by phone
Not call me 'cause me never, never home ya
Machinegun as we get the wrong one
Master Mark, master Paul, mister Luke and John
If we like what we see we chance a situation
Nothing don't pay nothing, maybe see what follow on
What a jill may do if the right man come?
Hey reggae boat, come we just have a little fun!
Go now!

Padabababa padabababababa

Gonna do my very best and it ain't no lie

I'm crazy flowing over with ideas
A thousand ways to woo a lover so sincere?
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

For every Casanova that appears
My sense of hesitation disappears
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers up and down my spine

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read

How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

Oh you really still expect me to believe
Every single letter I receive
Sorry you what a shameful situation
Sending shivers up and down my spine

Oh I like to read murder mystery
I like to know the killer isn't me
Love and hate what a beautiful combination
Sending shivers make me quiver
Feel it sliver up and down my spine

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read

How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you

Oh! Oh! Oh!
Yeeee!
Oh! Oh! Oh!

And the lovers that you sent for me
Didn't come with any satisfaction guarantee
So I return them to the sender
And the note attached will read

How I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you
I love to hate you, I love to hate you, I love to hate you

Guilty in ten counts
For the murder of my second husband

Stop!
...Stop! Stop!

We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be we're gonna be
Together again
I've been connected to the right line

We'll be together and nobody ain't never
Gonna disconnect us or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love

Stop!
Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

We'll be together again
I've been waiting for a long time
We're gonna be we're gonna be
Together again
I've been connected to the right line

We'll be together and nobody ain't never
Gonna disconnect us or ever separate us
Or say to us you've got to

Stop!
Stand there where you are
Before you go too far
Before you make a fool out of love
Stop!
Stop!

Don't jump before you look
Get hung upon a hook
Before you make a fool out of love

(Oh yeah!)
(Oh yeah!)

Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
Stop!
...Stop!

You say that I could show some emotion
That I've been keeping secrets from you
But I can see through all your sweet talk
And all of your affection untrue

I'm gonna find you out
If you scream and I shout
You won't break down my protection

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love


I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love

I'm gonna lock up what I'm feeling inside
Ain't no way you can break down the door
'Cause this time I've learned my lesson
You can take this declaration of war

Step right back
Put on your coat and your hat
Gonna avoid all complications

I don't wanna look
Like some kind of fool
I don't wanna break
My heart over you
I'm building a wall
Everyday it's getting higher
This time I won't end up
Another victim of love


Blue Savannah song
Oh blue Savannah song
Somewhere 'cross the desert
Sometime in the early hours
In a restless world
On the open highway

My home is where the heart is
Sweet to surrender to you only
I send my love to you

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

And they covered up the sun
Birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring

Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Go ahead with your dreamin'
For what it's worth
Or you'll be stricken bound
Kickin' up dirt
For when it's dark
You never know what the night it may bring

Go ahead with your schemin'
And shop at home
You'll find treasure
While cookin' up bones
But the knife is sharp
You'd better watch that you don't cut your hands

One, two, three

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Holy Moses our hearts are screaming
Souls are lifting only dreaming
We'll be waiting some are praying
For a time when no one's cheatin'

The sunlight rising over the horizon
Just a distant memory the dawn chorus (Dawn chorus)
Birds singing bells ringing
In our hearts in our minds...

And they covered up the sun
Until the birds had flown away
And the fishes in the sea
Had gone to sleep

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you

There once was a time
Had you here by my side
You said I wasn't your kind
Only here for the ride

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

I'm only to blame
Oh love of my heart
It's up to you now
You tore me apart
I hurt inside-out

Oh l'amour
Broke my heart
Now I'm aching for you
Mon amour
What's a boy in love
Supposed to do

Oh l'amour
Mon amour

Never had a point of view
Cause my mind was always someone else's mind

I never had to tell a lie
Cause I left the choices up to them
Don't know why but I did

Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breathe in its love

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

I never had to call the tune
Cause I always drifted with the tide of the moon
(Ah la luna)

I would go out every night
Looking for someone to treat me right
Not a chance (chance) not a hope (hope) in this world (world)

Oh I want life
Life wants me
To breathe in its love

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

Take me I'm yours
Now I'm comin' up for air
I'm gonna live my time
For the rest of my life
Then I'll be comin' back for more

By the hand into the bedroom
It's not the way you throw your clothes
Upon the bathroom floor

Been thinking about you
I just couldn't wait to see
Fling my arms around you
As we fall in ecstasy

Ooh, baby
You know it's hard to turn me on, yeah
You baby
You leave me burning and then you're gone

(Ooooh, ooooh)
Fling my arms around you sometime
(Ooooh, ooooh)
Touch me satisfy me sometime

I can't believe what is happening to me
My head is spinning sometimes
The flowers and the trees are encapsulating me
And I go spinning sometimes

He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
He was the baby of the class you know
He really didn't know that, really didn't know that
Oh what a poor soul

Ooh, do we not sail on a ship of fools?
Ooh, why is life so precious and so cruel?

It's not the way you caress me
Toy with my affection
It's not my sense of emptiness
You fill with your desire

Climb in bed beside me
We can lock the world outside
Touch me satisfy me
Warm your body next to mine

Ooh, baby
You know it's hard to turn me on, yeah
You baby
You leave me burning and then you're gone

(Ooooh, ooooh)
Fling my arms around you sometime

Touch me satisfy me sometime

I close my eyes and I try to imagine
What you're dreaming
Why can't you see what you're doing to me?
My world is spinning

You were the baby of the class you know
You really didn't know that one and one was two
Two and two were four
You were the baby of the class
You were so young and so uncertain
Suffer little children
Oh what a poor soul

Ooh, do we not sail on a ship of fools?
Ooh, why is life so precious and so cruel?
