Portishead

 

Cowboys

Did you sweep us far from your feet

Reset in stone the stark belief

Salted eyes and a sordid dye,

Too many years.

But don't despair,

This day will be the damnedest day,

Oh, 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 siourd queen,

The truth is sold, The deal is done.

But don't despair,

This day will be the damnedest day,

Oh, if you take these things from me.

Undefined, 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,

And this day will be the damnedest day,

Oh, if you take these things from me.

Oh, if you take these things from me.

 

All Mine

All the stars may shine a bright

All the clouds maybe blind

But when you smile

Oh How I feel so good

But that I can hardly wait to hold you

And fold you never enough, render your heart to me

All mine

You'll have to be

From that cloud, number nine

Angel stars shall decline

And with such sad regret

Oh as those starry skies

As they swiftly fall

Make no mistake

You shan't escape

Tethered and tied

There nowhere to hide from me

All mine

You'll have to be

So don't resist, we shall exist

Until the day, until the day, I die

All mine

You'll have to be

 

Undenied

You're softly spoken words

Release my own desire

Undenied, told to me

And so bare is my heart

I can't hide

Then so where does my heart

Belong

Release your tender touch

My senses can't deny

Oh so strong, my ??

For so bare is my heart

I can't hide

Then so where does my heart

Belong

Now that I found you

And seen behind those eyes

How can I carry on

For so bare is my heart

I can't hide

And so so where does my home

Belong, belong

Belong, belong

 

Half Day Closing

In the days, the golden days,

When everybody knew what they wanted

That ain't here today

Through the times of last and low

And stop the things trying the past day

They don't feel the same

Dreams, so believe they come

Time, life it self goes on

From beyond the shoupion skies

The money talks and leaves us hypnotized

Don't pay the way

Underneath the fading sun

The silent song of a business man

Has left us choking

Dreams, so believe they come

Time, life it self goes on

In the days, the golden days,

When everybody knew what they wanted

It ain't here today

Dreams, I believe they've gone

Time, life it self goes on

 

Over

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 mold this state anymore,

Recognize me anymore,

To tread this fantasy, openly,

What have I done?

Oh, this uncertainty

Is taking me over (X2)

To tread this fantasy, openly,

What have I done?

Oh, this uncertainty

Is taking me over (X3)

Oh It's all over, yeah,

Oh It's all over, yeah, oh oh oh.

 

Humming

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 long,

Right now so wrong

Naked

My thoughts are creeping

Too late

The show has begun

'Cause it's been so long

That I can't confess

And it's been so long

Right now so wrong

Is it all as it seems

So unresolved, so unready

If I remain how will I know ?

'Cause it's been so long

That I can't be sure

And it's been so wrong,

Right now, so wrong.

 

Mourning Air

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.

Have I got the strength to ask?

Beyond the window,

I feel this fear alone,

Until we have,

Taunted on steel

If I tremble or fall,

I'm reaching out in this mourning air

Should I fear the moment with you?

To softly whisper,

I crave nothing else so much,

Longing to reveal

Taunted on a steel I can feel your touch

I'm reaching out in this mourning air

I'm reaching out in this mourning air

 

Seven Months

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 a trilight sea

Why should I forgive you

After all that I've seen

Quietly whisper

When my heart wants to scream

But as long as I have tried

And as low as I can be

I will never resign myself

From a trilight sleep

There's no time to rest

Or to reconsider

For this cruel unsafe

Won't conseive

For as long as I have tried

And as low as I can be

I will never resign myself

From a trilight sea

 

Only You

We suffer everyday

What is it for

These crams of illusion

Are fooling us all

And now I am wearie

And I feel like I do

It's only you

Who can tell 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 cruched everything

I can't see in this morning selfishly

How we fell

And I feel like I do

It's only you

Who can tell 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 will stare bitter end

Years of frustration laid down side by side

And It's only you

Who can tell me apart

And it's only you

Who can turn my wooden heart

It's only you

Who can tell me apart

And it's only you

Who can turn my wooden heart

 

Elysium

No one has said what the truth should be

I know undecided that I feel this way

If you feel desire

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

I know once to blame it's just hypocrisy

It's 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 it's your heart

That's so wrong

Mistaken, you'll never know

You're feathered secret say

But you can't deny how I feel

And you can't decide for me

And you can't deny how I feel

Oh why should you decide for me

 

Western Eyes

Forgotten throws at anothers lie

The heart of love is our own deny

Faithless creeds consolidating

Holding down sweet charity

With western eyes and serpent's breath

We lay our own conscious to rest

But I'll make it

At the view

Yes I'm breaking

At the scenes just like you

They have valley's of a certainty

The innocent they can't hide away

To crucify infolidating

Turn into this honesty

With western eyes and serpent's breath

They lay there own conscious to rest

But then they lie and then they dare to be

Hidden heroes chandeliers

So I'll make it

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
