Emilíana Torrini Album

Somebody's got a long way to go.
You're not sitting by the phone no more.
You're gonna throw it away, crash it on the rock.
Yeah, so you can live your life.

Mmm, are we going crazy?
It's not fair to say we wasted time,
In my view we just used it all up.
It's not fair to say we wasted time,
In my view we just used it all up.

Mmm, what hurts you hurts me too.
I find it hard to make right.
I know I've been a pain lately,
That failed in every test - oh, I did wrong!

Oh man, what are we seeing here?
Life's changed all!
We share a similar firehead so there's nowhere to go.

Lost change and things I've braved.
Somwhere we got lost and can't be seen.
There's a hard wind blowing down our house,
Once that's gone it can't be found.
I thought you'd keep me warm,
I was sure I was wrong.

Oh man, what are we seeing here?
This changed all!
We share a similar firehead so there's nowhere to go.
Oh man, what are we seeing here?
Life's changed all!
We share the same firehead so there's nowhere to go.

me and armini

i had my life
i know my place
i belong in your arms again
and i've been waiting for you
to belong to me

some might say
i'm a silly woman to wait
but i know you still hold my love

some people think that
i'm heading for a meltown
that i'm sitting by the phone
that i worrie but no

when i feel your body close
i burn up in smoke
and i swore i keep waiting

now i see this city
won't hold my love
for armini
i know he's close
n' i dream
i just keep waiting
i keep waiting

some people think that
i'm heading for a meltdown
that i'm sitting by the phone
that i worrie but no

this i know
she doesn't love you like i do
yes it's clear
she'll never love you like me

you people say
that i'm heading for a meltdown
that i'm just sitting by the phone
that i worry but no

i don't worry cause i know

me and armini
me and my armini...

Let's stay awake and listen to the dark.
Before the birds, before they all wake up.
It's the ending of a play and soon begins another.
Hear the leaves applaud the wind.

See the sun come rising and white-wings start to fly.
Like strings of pearls in the firey sky.
I don't want to close my eyes, don't want to leave the stage now,
As the leaves applaud our stay.

Lend me yours wings and teach me how to fly.
Show me when it rains, the place you go to hide.
And the curtains draw again and bow - another day ends.
The leaves applaud the wind.

night time
noone hits the shore
it's me and you time
all those times we had affairs
the waves they never tell

maybe
you have found me out
where i've been lately
now your heart is broken
with the one you trust
there's nothing i can say

you've heard it all before
my keys won't fit that door
you've heard it all before
you want me here no more

and you can run away
oh no, i can't, oh no, i can't
cos the faith that he has given is unturned
and you can run away
oh no, i can't, oh no, i can't
cos the darkness hits the railway on that bridge

you've heard it all before
my keys won't fit that door
you've heard it all before
you want me here no more
heard it all before
i'm losing you once more
you've heard it
yes you've heard it

oh, maybe you can let me know
where this will take me
all the nights i've longed to be like this
where all is lost in bliss

somewhere parked along the streets
i had my run, yeah
all the money never had me bought
he had me, had me, then once more

and you can run away
oh no, i can't, oh no, i can't
cos the darkness hits the railway on that bridge

mmm and sunshine hits the shore
and cools the rays once more

you've heard it all before
you want me here no more
a momentary lapse
a passion that would pass
you've heard it all before
?? you outside my door

Anger steaming up your glasses, you've been holding parties all your life.
Course its long gone down, you're still hanging around.
It's not over till it starts again.

Ha ha ha!
Hear me laughing! Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha! It died out long ago.

Did you hear me laughing in your head, when I saw you stuck in a rut again?
Oh that drink went down smoothly, just like the one before the last you had.
Questions I have answered, you are still asking yourself again.
Passed-out in the gutter, worn-out in your head your voices aren't clear enough after all.

Ha ha ha!
Hear me laughing! Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha! It died out long ago.

Anger steaming up your glasses, you've been holding parties all your life.
Course its long gone down, you're still hanging around.
It's not over till you start again.

Ha ha ha!
Hear me laughing! Ha ha ha!
Ha ha ha! You died out long ago.

I walked all morning to lift my heart, Cos the world keeps dancing with the paperman.
I love you never talk in dreams,
But now it's here your happiness is real.

Oh make some big jumps, big jumps,
You're afraid to break some bones.
Come on make some big jumps, big jumps,
Life is yours alone.
You hold your head up, your head up high, like you think I do.

Something I feel so confused,
I'm under the illusion that I have to choose.
I love you
The way back home always is the same.

Oh make some big jumps, big jumps,
You're afraid to break some bones.
Come on make some big jumps, big jumps,
Life is yours alone.
You hold your head up, your head up high, like you think I do.

Tick-tock, this clockwork will stop,
You're the key for winding up my heart.
Brick-brack, if you don't wind me up,
The sky will lie upon me like a passed-out drunk.

Without you I would never rise again.
Without you I would never rise.

Hey there sunshine life my heart,
I know life is long but it goes so fast.
I love you never feeling old,
You never bought the rubbish that they sold.

Oh make some big jumps, big jumps,
You're afraid to break some bones.
Come on make some big jumps, big jumps,
Life is yours alone.
You hold your head up, your head up high, like you think I do.

Oh make some big jumps, big jumps,
You're afraid to break some bones.
Come on make some big jumps, big jumps,
Life is yours alone.
You hold your head up, your head up high, like you think I do.

Hey, I'm in love,
My fingers keep on clicking to the beating of my heart.
Hey, I can't stop my feet,
Ebony and ivory and dancing in the street.
Hey, it's because of you,
The world is in a crazy, hazy hue.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum. (x4)

Man, you got me burning,
I'm the moment between the striking and the fire.
Hey, read my lips,
Cause all the say is kiss, kiss, kiss.
No it'll never stop,
My hands are in the air, yes I'm in love.

My heart is beating like a jungle drum. (x4)

My heart is beating like a jungle drum. (x4)

Hold heart, don't beat so loud,
For me keep your calm, lest he walks out on you.
No tears, don't you come out,
If you blind me now, I'm defeated.
No lips, don't make a sound,
Don't let him hear the break in your voice.
Hand, let go of his,
With ease and grace, don't let him bleed under your nails.
Oh lord, take off thy crown,
You're my king no more with that verse in a man's hold.

Hold heart, don't beat so loud,
For me keep your calm, lest he walks out on you.
No tears, don't you come out,
If you blind me now, I am defeated.

Every day I see you looking in.
I'll be the smoothest thing to touch your skin.
You're longing to be loved but you're alone,
And your longing makes you shiver to the bone.

And your mamma told you nothing of importance.
No, your daddy taught you nothing you could learn.
You had your sisters weighing on your pockets,
And your priest he tries so hard to get you turned.

Maybe you've been living lonely.
While your woman has a fellow on the side.
Your kids keep telling jokes that ain't that funny.
And you've failed in everything that comes to mind.

Now you see I'm only here to let you know,
That I love you and I'll never let you go.
So take me in the hand and walk on by,
For the life this has to offer twists inside.

Now your woman has a fellow in your bed.
You have to go, you have to move right in.
And the ring on your finger would leave another scar.
But the joke's on her, she hasn't seen it all!

So you shuffled up close and you shot him in the face.
And your woman looked on and your children they embraced.
And the candle's still burning and the fire's roaring fire.
You moved right in, yeah you moved right in...

Stuck, you're shaking, sweating, whining and regretting.
You're making a scene but it's going to get you caught.
Meet me in the barrell and tell me that you love me.
Yes this is a kiss that I swear will blow your mind.

Mamma said, lift your head from the sieve of your hands.
Mamma said eventually this hurting will end.
But the shockwaves on my bones will linger,
Like the ghost of you here in my bed.

When I was lost you thought me a beautiful find.
Sometimes I think of you sleeping, so sleep for a while.
I find myself asking who'd do this to love.
And the white-shouldered mountains they pointed above.

Lord you just dropped me here by the side of this road.
Out here's too cold and I don't want to walk it alone.
I've got a bottle of your blood inside me.
And on old beggar's prayer on the tip of my tongue.

Mamma said, lift your head from the sieve of your hands.
Mamma said that eventually this hurting will end...

Lay thee down.
Park your head upon my pillow.
Naked trees they dress in crows,
Greet the horses coming nearer.

Through the rains that bring you down.
You're a man, humble as a hope.
Oh-oh-oh, lay with me.
Oh, closer to my body.
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
When things go wrong, you'll find you're a bleeder.

You're a man, humble as a hope.
Oh-oh-oh, lay with me.
Oh, closer to my body.
Oh-oh-oh-oh.
When things go wrong, you'll find you're a bleeder.

Oh, when things go wrong, you'll find you're a believer.
