Yo La Tengo - Prisoners Of Love [compilation] (2005) by Yo La Tengo (보컬) on maniadb.com

Whatever you want from me,
whatever you want I'll do
Try to squeeze a drop of blood from a sugarcube

Try to be more assured, try to be more right there
Try to be less uptight, try to be more aware
Whatever you want from me, is what I want to do for you
Sweeter than a drop of blood from a sugarcube

And though I like to act the part of being tough
I crumble like a sugarcube for you

Whatever you want from me, whatever you want I'll do
I will try

For the moments slip right through it
Combed his hair, combed his hair
In the feeling of contentment
An actor's actor, an actor's actor
Smile his smile uncomprehending
Took his time, took his time
Wore a hat so he'd impress her
To ride, To ride ..
..

Since I could wait for hours
I could wait and never fall down,
never fall down, never fall down
Face down besde the river (10x)

Took a walk alone last night, slept inside your head
It was raining hard again, crawled back into bed
Tried to catch up to you but you moved too fast
Thought about a million things, fell asleep at last

Got up again last night, tore all over town
Skidding tires, screeching brakes barely make a sound
We were on a winding road going 65
Slid along an icy stretch, made it back alive

Little eyes are open but they don't see very far
You can only hurt the ones you love, not the ones you're thinking of
Little eyes are open but they're sinking back again
Don't you know you're sleeping much too long, wake up little eyes

Moving but not gaining any ground
Climbing up the escalator as it takes you down

Last night I heard this sound echoed everywhere
Like a buzzing amplifier burning through the air
It's still raining hard, you said, have you any clue?
Is it ever gonna stop? I guess that's up to you

Little eyes are open but they don't see very far
You can only hurt the ones you love, not the ones you're thinking of
Little eyes are open but they're sinking back again
Don't you know you're sleeping much too long, wake up little eyes

What's the matter, why don't you answer
What's the matter with me
Cause it's so hard to be
Free and easy, we'll disappear completely
Hardly as I've known it's glad

You're heart is broken, and the doors are open
As you're hoping to be
There's brighter places to see
Hands need warning, early in the morning
Hardly as I've known a surprise

No, don't warn me
I know it's wrong, but I swear it won't take long
And I know, you know,
It makes me sigh; I do believe in love

Another season, but the same old feelings
Another reason could be
I'm tired of aching, summer's what you make it
But I'll believe what I want to believe

I remember a summer's day
I remember walking up to you
I remember my face turned red
I remember staring at my feet
I remember before we met
I remember sitting next to you
I remember pretending I wasn't looking
So try and try even if it lasts an hour
with all our might try and make it ours
cause we're on our way we're on our way
I remember your old guitar
I remember I can't explain
I remember the way it looked around your neck
and I remember the day it broke
I remember the song you sang
I remember the way you look tonight
I remember the way you made me feel
we'll try and try even if it lasts an hour
with all our might we'll try and make it ours
cause we're on our way we're on our way
to fall in love.
You'll try and try even if it lasts an hour
With all our might try and make it ours
cause we're on our way to fall in love.
yeah we're on our way to fall in love.
we're on our way to fall in love.
we're on our way to fall in love.
more Yo La Tengo Lyrics

Oh, true rider, fasten me
I saw a mystery, mystery
How you cast your reins aside,
and sidle up to me, up to me
Sweet obsession, devil's den
Lassos my blind eye
My blind eye, my blind eye
Oh, true rider, nothing's lost
Take me for a ride, for a ride

Julie Christie, the rumors are true
As the pages turn, my eyes are glued
To the movie star and his sordid life
Mr. X and his old-suffering wife
I spent so much time dreaming about Eleanor Bron
In my room with the curtains drawn
See her in the arms of Paul
Say it, I can say no more
As the music swells somehow stronger from adversity
Our hero finds his inner peace
So now I'm looking for a lucky charm
With a needle hanging out of its arm
..

As time goes by I know it's gonna happen
I know it's going away
Gonna take its toll, gonna take its toll
Gonna take my time
And I'm thinking about the way things are
And I'm thinking about the way things were
Thinking about Eleanor Bron
And I'm thinking about a lucky charm
And I'm thinking about the needle
Oh, I'm thinking about the needle
And I'm thinking about...

The beer was talking and it seemed a little bored
Suggested walking for awhile
Thought it'd be dramatic if we walked all night
But I got tired, so I came home
Lay back on the couch to watch TV
The drunks were talking, wasn't long before I grew bored,
Lewis didn't feel the same
I guess they spoke in tongues that wrapped around his brain,
He didn't mind the feeling at all
Remember me sometime when I am far away
And I will try and do the same
Maybe just like you some day I will forget
Every hit song America ever had
Like this is for all the Lonely People,
And Oz never gave nothing to the Tin Man,
And I've been to a desert on a horse without a name

If you want, want my love
Take it baby
If you want, want my heart
Take it baby, you can have it all

If you want, want my time
Take it baby
And if you want my last dime
Take it baby, you can have it all

Take it baby, you can have it all

Did I tell you of the dark lonely road
I was counting my steps as I made my way home
Days of nothing but time on your hands, weighing on me
Came to my end, undecided
Whether to count what I felt against what I could say
I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
My brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait.
Our love is so important to me
Starts wherever you land, walks right over to me
Days of nothing but time in between, obviously
So unwary, so uncaring
I try not to be part of that, well, that's easy to say
That I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
'Cause deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
My brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait.
There's a moment to discover no one can take all the blame
And it's finally clear.
I try not to wonder, or tell you that I'm not willing to wait
When deep in my heart I'm willing, heart's still willing
My brain's impatient, my heart's still willing to wait,
Willing to wait, willing to wait

When I heard the knock on the door
I couldn't catch my breath
Is it too late to call this off

We could slip away, wouldn't that be better
Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater

I tried my best to hide
In a crowded room, it's nearly possible
I wait for you, oh, most patiently

So I looked for your eyes
And the waves looked like they'd pour right out of them
I'll try hard, I'll try always
But it's a waste of time
It's a waste of time if I can't smile easily
Like in the beginning
In the beginning...

Let's be undecided, let's take our time
And sooner or later, we will know our mind
We'll be on the outside, we won't care
Cause we're together, that's somewhere

And there's a big day coming, about a mile away
There's a big day coming, I can hardly wait

Let's wake up the neighbors, let's turn up our amps
And we know we're used to without a plan
We can play a Stones song, sitting on a fence
And it'll sound pretty good, til I forget how it ends

I woke up early, couldn't go back to sleep
Cause I had been thinking of where it all would lead
So I made you wake up, I said, "Let's take a walk,
I wanna hold your hand, we don't have to talk"

Show me where you keep all your secrets upstairs
Night after night you sleep while they're setting off flares

Someone came and took all the roses away
Now you'll sit showing me tears if you want me to stay
Cause down the street all the meters have run out of time, run out of time

I waited for you as the trees swayed out of time
In a crowded room I pick up your lonely stare
I'll cover for you like a slipcover covers a chair
But someone came and took all the roses away
It was only 5 minutes but it felt like it stretched into a day
Someone came and took all the roses away

You may have left your mistake with breakfast
Watching the sun go down
I've been lying awake till dawn now
I'm not ready to face that
I'm not ready to face that thing today

I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
I've wasted away

I think of the things that matter
And I think of the things that don't
Whatever it is no matter
I hate feeling the way i feel
I hate feeeling the way I eel today

I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
I've wasted away

I see myself with headphones on
I'm listening to Wake of the Flood (?) (2x)
now I'm high

I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
I've wasted away
I wish I was high
Brighter than nothing
Smarter than nobody
I've wasted away

Do you need someone to hide behind?
Well, I don't mind, well, I don't mind
Do you need to be alone to unwind?
Well, that's alright, that's alright

Sure I know it's hard
You know that it's that way for everyone, for everyone
Some things go wrong
Sink so low you even blame the sun

You blame it as the cause
Of the shadows on the wall
They're not as bad as they appear
Could it be that it's the season of the shark?

Do you need someone to help you through?
Well, I don't know, I don't know
Someone to take questions for you
I don't know, I don't know

I want to be
The one to make you feel okay right now, someway, somehow
When I fall short
I sink so low I even blame the clouds

For blocking out the sun
And the shadows on the wall
That's why you feel alone
Could it be that it's the season of the shark?

Please don't be afraid
No matter how much out there scares you so, scares you so
Just look around
If it's not me then someone else you know

You're not alone at all
Ignore the shadows on the wall
They don't mean a thing
Could it be that it's the season, I believe that it's the season of the shark

Could it be that it's the season of the shark?

on darkened streets tonight
i see a simple time
i see the warning light
and the summer comes undone
no sorry closing eyes
no cutting down to size
no other thoughts arise
and the summer come undone

on darkened streets tonight
i make a wrong turn right
take in the lonely sight
and the summer comes undone

and i won't wait
and i won't have to
i just waste me time alone
'til the summer comes undone
'til the summer comes undone
'til the summer comes undone

You tell me summer's here
And the time is wrong
You tell me winter's here
And your days are getting long

Tears are in your eyes tonight

You tell me that you haven't
Slept in days
You tell me sleeping only makes you tired
Anyway

Tears are in your eyes tonight
Tears are in your eyes every night

Although you don't believe me, you are strong
Darkness always turns into the dawn
And you won't even remember this for long
When it ends all right

Please tell me how you know tomorrow
Staring at your shoes

Tears are in your eyes every night
Tears are in your eyes every night
Tears are in your eyes tonight

You, you won't talk about what we see
when the lights are out
And I'm willing to hold your hand while you're lost,
while you're so full
of doubt
Walk for miles, on your own loose ends,
I'll find you there
I'll find you there

You, you walk up thin blue lines possible with reality
And I, I see through small red eyes,
glowing still at your uncertainty
Out of darkness you will come around, I know you will,
I know you will
And I'll find you, and I'll find you there

Nuclear war (yeah)
Nuclear war (yeah)
Talkin about (yeah)
Nuclear War (yeah)

It's a motherfucker,
Don't you know.
If they push that button,
Your ass gotta go.

Baby, every cloud has a silver lining
Baby, every dog really has its day
And it matters to me to see you smiling
Why don't we blow all your cares away?

Yesterday's gone and will be forgotten
And today is where every new day starts
Got to be free like the leaves in Autumn
You may be sad but it never lasts

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark

We could go out walking out in the sunshine
Look at all the people out in the street
Hurrying away to their business functions
Waiting for a taxi for aching feet

Light up your face, baby
Let's get going
Wanna see a change in those weary eyes
We'll have some fun
Take a boat out rowing
Why ever should life so serious?

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark

And maybe, by the evening we'll be laughing
Just wait and see all the changes there'll be
By the time it gets dark
By the time it gets dark
By the time it gets dark
By the time it gets darka€|

So I made you wake up, I said, "Let's take a walk,

I see you crawling across the floor
Never see you standing anymore
You take whatever's put in your hand
You ask for more until you can't

Decora

It's not the first time you'll take a fall
Act like you've never sleen double before
We tie deep into the past
Take this chance with me cause it's your last

Now here you go again, you say, you want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down
It's only right that you should play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound of your loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had and what you lost
And what you had and what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love when they're playing
They say, "Women, they will come and they will go"
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know, you'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself
It's only me who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams, you'd like to sell?
Dreams of loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering
What you had and what you lost
And what you had, oh what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

Oh, thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
They say, "Women, they will come and they will go"
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know, you'll know
You will know, oh you'll know

When I heard the knock on the door

So I looked for your eyes
And the waves looked like they'd pour right out of them
I'll try hard, I'll try always
But it's a waste of time
It's a waste of time if I can't smile easily
Like in the beginning
In the beginning...

I'm like a magnet
You're like a piece of wood
Can't get together
Don't make me feel too good

I'm like a convict
You're like the FBI
I ask for breakfast
You bring a piece of pie
I know it's useless to say
How it used to be
Why do you treat me this way
If you could only see

You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will

I'm like a rowboat
You're like the queen mary
I play a tango
You play a symphony
When you have a problem or two
Can't you see I'm trying
When I see you smiling like that
Makes me change my mind

You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will

You're like a magnet
I'm like a piece of steel
The way you break my will
