Travis - Ode To J. Smith (2008) by Travis (보컬) on maniadb.com

The snow was falling on
his shoulders by the side
of the road
And he watched as
the sun went down
Falling on the building
Swallowing the children
It's the gun in your back
It's the heart attack
It's the way you look back
before you step out
In time to see the number
of the bus that's
running you down
A million lonely people
with their bead
in the sand
Trying to make some sense of
what they don't understand
Waiting on somebody just
to give them a hand
You're designed to fall
apart on the day
the warrenty ends
And you try
but you just can't stop
Running round in circles
Knocking over hurdles
It's the knife in your back
It's the heart attack
It's the way you look back
before you step out
In time to see the shadow
of the one that's
cutting you down
A million lonely people
with their bead
in the sand
Trying to make some sense of
what they don't understand
Waiting on somebody just
to give them a hand

The snow was falling on
his shoulders by the side
of the road
And he watched as the
lights came on below
And the children were sleeping
And the women were weeping
There was nobody
keeping him here

There's a man on the street
And he looks at
his feet form his window
And he sweares at the sun
And he curses the moon
for its shadow
Ohh
Take a leaf from his book
Take a thread from his suite
He's a new man
And he prays to his god
That he reaps his reward
For his new plan
Oh the mould has been cast
The radio's in the bath
Yeah yeah yeah

Labor tuus nunc ad terminum
Sed per deos vade retro

Nomen nusquan video
Carbo in culo in aeternitatem
Placet satanae te vedere

Like a melody
that is impossible to play I wait
In my memory there's part of you
that's gone away
To keep my mind from wandering
I'm wondering
To keep myself from falling
I'm following
Something anything just to
keep believing Just to keep me
breathing for a moment longer
Something anything just to
keep believing Just to keep me
breathing for a moment longer
I'd tell you anything
if I had anything to say
I keep it bottled in
'cause there's a time and
there's a place for this
I keep my story where it is
And act as if I don't even know
what it is When all I need is
Something anything just to
keep believing Just to keep me
breathing for a moment longer
Something anything just to
keep believing Just to keep me
breathing for a moment longer

Something anything just to
keep believing Just to keep me
breathing for a moment longer
Something anything just to
keep believing Just to keep me
breathing for a moment longer

It’s a long way down Above the two tone town And it’s not funny when you’re stuck in the middle I’m coming up for air I could be anywhere It makes no difference when you live in a puddle Now that I see it How can I breath When my heart’s in my mouth And not on my sleeve Better run little rabbit Back to your hole in the ground It’s a long way down It’s a long way down The people look so small Sliding off the wall Getting dizzy as the fall in the gutter I watch the seagull Swooping past the steeple Crying for his dinner as he shits on the sinners Now that I see it How can I breathe When my heart’s in my mouth Instead of my sleeve Better run little rabbit Back to your hole in the ground It’s a long way down Mama An eye for an eye You’d say you’d never take a side Papa I’m too young to die They’re never taking me They’re never taking me alive They’re never taking me alive They’re never taking me alive

Each time you go away Part of you turns to grey The jingle of the chains Singled Rearrange Broken mirror steal my reflection Tell me what you see A hundred shattered eyes in the looking glass Staring back at me Inside Inside Inside tolls the bell Outside all is well Broken mirror steal my reflection Tell me what you see A hundred shattered eyes in the looking glass Staring back at me I never want to be alone I never ever want to go home This I know for sure

Try to shine a light into the dark Corners of the mind and of the heart Find out what you’r carrying round Things you can’t remember having found Holding on The best you can Finding out In the nick of time But the last words Are hanging on my phone Oh the last words Even when you’re standing on your own Now the last words Are lying on my floor Ah the last words Try to find a place you can begin Begin to fill the space you’re living in Rip it uo and start it all again Turning all your enemies to friends Oh oh oh oh Holding on The best you can Finding out In the nick of time But the last words Are hanging on my phone Oh the last words Even when you’re standing on your own Now the last words Are lying on my floor Ah the last words Oh the last words Are hanging on my phone Oh the last words Even when you’re standing on your own Now the last words Are lying on my floor Ah the last words Oh the last words

There’s a boy I know so well He hides inside his padded cell And he can see That he will never be quite free He takes his time Steps carefully There’s a girl I see sometimes She hides behind a dirty mind And she can see That she will never be quite free She takes her time Steps carefully Free to make your mind up Free to choose your fate Free to hold your hand up Free don’t leave me standing in the way Cause I like you And I’d like to Be free, be free, be free, be free

Wish someone would Write me a song
Or tell me a story
So I don't have to worry
I need a little love
And a hand to hold Somebody old
To watch over me
I need a little time
So I don't have to hurry
Oh you say it all
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
But I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up To the situation

I wish someone Would answer The phone
Stop leaving me Hanging on
I'm feeling Like a little ship
Out on the ocean
I need a little love
And a hand to hold
Somewhere hold the frustration
I need a little cause For celebration
Oh you say it all
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta wake up To the situation
Growing up Checking notes
So you know
Just Just which way to go

You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You've just gotta
You've just gotta
You've gotta
You've just gotta
You've gotta gotta
Oh you say it all
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up
I don't wanna get up
You gotta get up
You gotta get up

Who cheers you up
When you are down
Who brings you cups of coffee
Who picks you up
When you're in town
Whatever makes you happy
And I'm glad you're better now
But I'm sad you're not around
Friends
Won't ever desert you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence

Who wakes you up
When you're late for work
Who makes the bed so lovely
Who found your sock
Who pressed your shirt
Whatever makes you love me
And I'm glad I'm better now
But I'm just sad
you're not around
Friends
Will never deceive you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence

Friends
Won't ever desert you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence
Friends
Will never deceive you
Or turn against
Friends
Won't love you and leave you
To mend the fence

Singing a song to myself
I'm singing a song to myself
Pictures in your mind
Out of focus and unkind
Picture me
I picture you
Outside the sun is shining
At the back of your mind
there's a memory
By the time you hear this
I'll be gone
I'm singing a song to myself
Cos I don't belong any longer
Just making it up in my head
This feeling is strong
and getting stronger
Do you see the light
Tell me you see the light
Just making it up in my head
Cos I need someone to sing
along with
Pictures in your heart
Out of focus torn apart
Picture me
I picture you
Outside the moon is shining
At the back of your mind
there's a memory
By the time you hear this
I'll be gone
I'm singing a song to myself
Cos I don't belong any longer
Just making it up in my head
This feeling is strong
and getting stronger
Do you see the light
Tell me you see the light
Just making it up in my head
Cos I need someone
to sing along with

sing along with

I'm singing a song to myself
Cos I don't belong any longer
Just making it up in my head
This feeling is strong
and getting stronger
Do you see the light
Tell me you see the light
Just making it up in my head
Cos I need someone
to sing along with
Singing a song to myself

in the days before you were young
we used to sit in the morning sun
we used to turn the radio on
what happened
we'd see our lies
in the eyes of faith
and take our cradles to the grave
well even then we never
saved from danger
and if you ever leave me come
i will be there waiting
waiting for you know i will
i love you for ever
i'll never say never
bet i've only got two hands
and i'll never learn to dance
i'll never get a second chance
whatever i'll take the breath away
from your sighs
and whipe the tears away
from your eyes
and hope the fire never dies
inside you
and if you ever leave me come
i will be there waiting
waiting for you know i will
i love you

in the days before you were young
we used to sit in the morning sun
we used to turn the radio on
what happened
