Gene - Olympian (1995) by Gene (보컬) on maniadb.com

I cross the road
just to hide
and to avoid the times
when you stood
at my side
so battered by the tide
a wreck expsed
at my door
my eyes they cannot lie
so get up from my floor
for you, you've had your time.
your chance has gone
you're not so strong.
your words they cannot harm me now.

But with all the things that I've said
I'm still haunted by you
in every town, every place
you're waiting.
on my tongue lies disgrace
still haunted by you
yes you, you're in my way

While cimineys seep
my room is dark
the wardropve sees you sleep
There's nothing here
but rumbles from our street,
and I'm left wanting more.

I've tried to ask, but
while stooping down
your mouth began to gasp
"Oh look at that,
I think I'd better pass"
so i'm left wanting more.

Given time and a cheap dark room
And I will show you
All the love and wonder
You could buy.

This town lies calm
the low sun climbs
And if you give me time
I'll take you in my arms
and tend you like a vine
but i'm left wanting more.

Your love, it lies
those hands deny the hatred in your eyes
so turn that down
and give me a reply,
but I'm still left wanting more

All the great loves of this world
Are cast asunder, because
here comes my thunder
Just for one night
No need to buy

I've been lazy
I've not waited for you
Nature's hasty
And Lord knows so am I

Six months inside
wandsworth's finest landmark
My patience has died
First guilt, now hate's best son

Every M.P
And all their strong and kind words
"He can't be guilty"
But you and I both know.

*Truth, rest your head
There's more than a life at stake here
For me you died tonight.
So don't involve me in your plans
When the chat shows beckon
For me you died tonight.

*Repeat

You have to do it on your own
I can't aid you any more
You must learn to breath alone
Then all this is yours.
Your shoulders are strong
So lengthen your stride
When you're alone
There is light outside.
I don't recall the time we spent
It's hidden in a car that sped
To its death and to its rest.
So give up the thoughts that bring you dread
And hide them in the car
That sped me to my death
And to my rest.
You have to do it on your own
I can't help you any more.
You must learn to live alone
Then all this is yours
When you dream
I'll be guiding your thoughts
So find the world
And take what's yours

I have one single success to my name
So take cover, I am coming out today
There is no turn of phrase, no easy way to say
"I'll find my feet
I'll choose my own name."

It's hard to be left-handed
But smile you're not the only one
I know you've been left stranded
Bruised, kicked
Lost your mother's love
But take it from me
I will be here tomorrow

Evil,
I've seen your face and I know just how you feel
Your Victorian descendant
It's illegal, that my clan just aren't seen as people
On the Isle of Man
I'll serve my time.

My kith and kin
I have sinned
I didn't hear the siren, or see him giving in
My kith and kin
I have sinned again
He said
"London can you wait
For all the things I have to say
London can you wait?"

My kith and kin
I have sinned
The alarm rang loud, the lights were on
And I didn't see a thing
My kith and kin
Death just walked in, again
He said,
"London, can you wait
for all the things I need to say
How long can you wait?"

I was having the time of my life
So why did you have to die?
I'm lost
Again

Onwards to the city
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes
I've seen this all before
I know what can happen
When you're honest and true
It's too late to change now
Your years flew too soon.
I've seen this all before
And more.
YOu found the right cliff top
For saying goodbye
As life swung its elbow
And spat in your eye
I've seen this all before
And more.
So onwards to the city
Where new money awaits
Far further from the clatter
Of your past life's mistakes
Yes, I've seen this all before
And more

It's the end of the year
I have just settled here
It may not be much, but it's enough
Yet trouble has sprung from the pubs and the clubs
We'll see blood soon, when the night's through

Still you can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
Get some money and we'll show them
This is our territory, this patch belongs to me
Why don't they understand, but I've got a plan
So take my hand.

And sleep well tonight,
Tomorrow we fight, would you like it in town?
As the bass drums boom by
We'll leave this lay-by, this excuse for a town.
Now that everybody knows all about me
I've been rumbled, I've been sold
Born with plenty but you're left empty

You can have it all, there's a hole in the wall
Get some dough out and we'll show out
But still trouble comes from these pubs and these
clubs
Why can't they understand, but I've got a plan
So take my hand
And sleep well tonight

Give me something I can hold
With that something I will grow
Make me crazy with your arms
It's all gone hazy, it's all gone wrong
Olympian, framed by God
So bring me water to cool off.
Formidable and not afraid
Of the next world, just delayed.
How can you decline such grand designs?
I'm flattered that you thought
I make a good reward, but
How can you survive my blatant lies?
I'm flattered that you thought
So come taste my good reward.
I wanted to be there with you
For I can only be normal with you
I'm taking your life for you

While cimineys seep
my room is dark
the wardropve sees you sleep
There's nothing here
but rumbles from our street,
and I'm left wanting more.
I've tried to ask, but
while stooping down
your mouth began to gasp
