Go west Paradise is there You'll have all that you can eat Of milk and honey over there You'll be the brightest star The world has ever seen Sun-baked slender heroine Of film and magazine
Go west Paradise is there You'll have all that you can eat Of milk and honey over there You'll be the brightest light The world has ever seen The dizzy height of a jet-set life You could never dream
Your pale blue eyes Strawberry hair Lips so sweet Skin so fair You're future bright Beyond compare It's rags to riches Over there
San Andreas Fault Moved it's fingers Through the ground Earth divided Plates collided Such an awful sound
San Andreas Fault Moved its fingers Through the ground Terra cotta shattered And the walls came Tumbling down
Oh promised land Oh wicked ground Build a dream Tear it down
Oh promised land What a wicked ground Build a dream Watch it all fall down
Doctors have come from distant cities just to see me Stand over my bed, disbelieving what they're seeing They say I must be one if the wonders of God's own creation And as far as they see they can offer no explaination
Newspapers ask intimate questions, want confessions They reach into my head to steal the glory, of my story They say I must be one if the wonders of God's own creation And as far as they see they can offer no explaination
Chorus: Oooh I believe, that Fate smiled and Destiny, Laughed as she came to my cradle "Know this child will be able" Laughed as my body she lifted, "Know this child will be gifted, with love, with patience, and with faith, she'll make her way, she'll make her way"
People see me, I'm a challange to your balance, I'm over your heads how I confound you, and astound you to know I must be one if the wonders of God's own creation And as far as you see you can offer no explaination
Oooh I believe, that Fate smiled and Destiny, Laughed as she came to my cradle "Know this child will be able" Laughed as she came to my mother "Know this child will not suffer" Laughed as my body she lifted, "Know this child will be gifted, with love, with patience, and with faith, she'll make her way, she'll make her way" "She'll make her way" Ooooh hoo hoo hoo, ooooh hooo hooo hoo
You were the love for certain of my life You were simply my beloved wife I don't how for certain How I'll live my life Now alone without my beloved wife My beloved wife I can't believe I've lost the very best of me
You were the love For certain of my life You were simply my beloved wife I don't know for certain How I'll live my life Now alone without my beloved wife My beloved wife I can't believe I've lost the very best of me
You were the love For certain of my life For fifty years simply my beloved wife With another love I'll never lie again It's you I can't deny It's you I can't defy A depth so deep Into my grief Without my beloved soul I renounce my life As my right Now alone without my beloved wife My beloved wife
My beloved wife My love is gone she suffered long In hours of pain My love is gone would it be wrong If I should surrender All the joy in my life Go with her tonight
My love is gone she suffered long In hours of pain My love is gone would it be wrong If I should surrender All the joy in my life Go with her tonight
Young and strong Hollywood son In the early morning light This star fell down On Sunset Boulevard
Young and strong beautiful one We embrace so close Is gone Was torn away
Let the youth of America mourn Include him in their prayers Let his image linger on Repeat it everywhere
With candles and flowers He was one of ours One of ours Why don't you let him be? He's gone We know Give his mother and his father peace Your vulture's candor Your casual slander You murder his memory He's gone We know It's nothing but a tragedy
Lay to rest your soul and body Lay beside your name Lay to rest your rage Your hunger and amazing grace
With candles and flowers You were one of ours One of ours
I saw cameras expose your life I heard rumours explode with liES I saw children in tears Cry and crowd around the sight Of where you had collapsed that day Where your last breath and word Had been sighed Where your heart had burst Where you had died
I saw how they were lost and grieving All half believing you were gone The loss and the pain of it Crime and the shame of it You were gone It was such a nightmare raving "How can we save him From himself"
Well, I've walked these streets A virtual stage It seemed to me Makeup on their faces Actors took their places next to me
Well, I've walked these streets In a carnival of sights to see All the cheap thrill-seekers The vendors and the dealers They crowded around me
Have I been blind? Have I been lost inside myself and my whole mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen?
Well, I've walked these streets In a spectacle of wealth and poverty In the diamond market The scarlet welcome carpet that they just rolled out for me
And I've walked these streets In the madhouse asylum they can be Where a wild-eyed mystic prophet on a traffic island stopped And he raved of saving me
Have I been blind? Have I been lost inside myself and my whole mind? Hypnotized, mesmerized, by what my eyes have seen
Have I been wrong? Have I been wise to shut my eyes and play along? Hypnotized, paralyzed by what my eyes have found By what my eyes have seen What they have seen?
Have I been blind? Have I been lost? Have I been wrong? Have I been wise? Have I been strong? Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized By what my eyes have found?
In that great street carnival
Have I been blind? Have I been lost? Have I been wrong? Have I been wise? Have I been strong? Have I been hypnotized, mesmerized By what my eyes have found?
I may know the word But not say it I may know the truth But not face it I may hear a sound A whisper sacred and profound But turn my head Indifferent
I may know the word But not say it I may love the fruit But not taste it I may know the way To comfort and to sooth A worried face But fold my hands Indifferent
If I'm on my knees I'm begging now If I'm on my knees Groping in the dark I'd be prying for deliverance From the night into the day
But it's all grey here It's all grey to me
I may know the word But not say it This may be the time But I might waste it This may be the hour Something move me Someone prove me wrong Before night comes With indifference
If I'm on my knees I'm begging now If I'm on my knees Groping in the dark I'd be prying for deliverance From the night into the day
But it's all grey here But it's all grey to me
I recognize the walls inside I recognize them all I've paced between them Chasing demons down Until they fall In fitful sleep Enough to keep their strength Enough to crawl Into my head With tangled threads They riddle me to solve
If I ever write this letter The pages I could write But I don't know where to send it You have vanished Heaven knows where you live Heaven only knows
If I ever write this letter Bitter words it would complain Just an unrequited lover Wishing she had never Spoken your name Had ever known your name
But if I ever write this letter The truth it would reveal Knowing you brought me pleasure How I'll often treasure Moments that we knew The precious The few
It's a Saturday afternoon romance Between a cowboy and a fool A druken meet up In a crude saloon A poor Rocky Mountain town He's a scoundrel And she's no pearl Together they are two lovers cruel
Got her balanced on his knee He knows exactly what to say "You ain't been born 'till you get out of town And honey, You might come with me"
"If you do... Spare the innocent ones I'll take you with me Together we will be drifters free"
Got her tangled in his arms She's a lusting, trusting fool "No man born can rule me That I've swon But stranger if you do I'll belong to you"
"If you do... Would you spare the innocent ones Would you take me with you? Can you love the land And love me too?"
As he grows sober Sees his love anew In morning light so true He gets on the move On the move
Is she fine So well bred The perfect girl A social deb?
Is she the sort You've always thought Could make you What you're not?
Oooh, jealousy
Is she bright So well read Are there novels By her bed?
Is she the sort You've always said Could satisfy Your head?
Oooh, my jealousy
Does she talk The way I do Is her voice reminding you Of the promises The little white lies too Sometimes, tell me While she's touching Just by mistake Accidentally do you say my name
Climbing under A barbed wire fence By the railroad ties
Climbing over The old stone wall I am bound for the riverside
Well I go to the river To soothe my mind Ponder over The crazy days of my life Just sit and watch the river flow
Find a place On the riverbank Where the green rushes grow See the wind In the willow tree In branches hanging low
Well I go to the river To soothe my mind To Ponder over The crazy days in my life Watch the river floe Ease my mind and soul Where I go
Well I go to the river From time to time Wander over These crazy days in my mind Watch the river flow Where the willow branches grow By the cool rolling waters Moving gracefully and slow
Child it's lovely Let the river take it all away The mad pace, the hurry The troubles, the worries Just let the river take them all away Flow away
How did I love you? There was no measuring Far above this dirty world Far above everything In your tower over it You were clean
So warm and insightful Were you in my life I was sure the rightful Guardian of my life Damn you betrayer How you lied
But for seven years You were loved I laid golden orchid crowns Around your feet For seven years I bowed down To touch the ground So wholly your devotee You were all I could see
I've got my sight now I see everything you hid So don't you try to right now All the wrong you did I might forget you But not forgive
But for seven years You were loved I laid golden orchid crowns Around your feet For seven years I bowed down To touch the ground So wholly your devotee
For seven years You were so revered I made offerings Of anything and everything I had You were All I could see
One fine day, You'll look at me And you will know our love was meant to be One fine day, You're gonna want me for your girl The arms, I long for will open wide And you'll be proud to have me right by your side One fine day, you're gonna want me for your girl Though I know you're the kind of boy who only wants to around I'll keep waiting and someday darling, you'll come to me when you want to settle down One fine day, we'll meet once more And then you'll want the love threw away before One fine day, you're gonna want me for you girl
Ophelia was a bride of God A novice Carmelite, In sister cells, the cloister bells, tolled on her wedding night Ophelia was the rebel girl, a blue-stockinged suffragette Who remedied society between her cigarettes And Ophelia was the sweetheart to a nation overnight Curvaceous thighs, vivacious eyes Love was at first sight, Love was at first sight, love Ophelia was a demi-goddess In pre-war Babylon so statuesque, a silhouette in black, satin evening gowns Ophelia was the mistress to a Vegas gambling man Signora Ophelia Maraschina mafia courtesan Ophelia was the circus queen, the female cannonball projected through five flaming hoops to wild and shocked applause to wild and shocked applause hey, he-he-he-he-hey, Ophelia was a tempest, cyclone, a god-damned hurricane your common sense, your best defense lay wasted and in vain for Ophelia'd know your every woe and every pain you'd ever have She'd sympathize and dry your eyes Help you to forget and help you to forget and help you to forget Ophelia's mind went wandering You'd wonder where she'd gone to secret doors down corridors she'd wander them alone all alone
It's a pity, it's a crying shame People hold you down again How painful it must be To bruise so easily inside It's a pity, it's a downright crime It happens all the time You want to stay little daddy's girl You want to hide from the vicious world outside Don't cry, you know the tears will do no good So dry your eyes Oh, your daddy, he's the iron man battleship wrecked on dry land Your mamma she's a bitter bride She'll never be satisfied, you know And that's not right. But don't cry, you know the tears will do no good So dry your eyes Oh, they told you life is hard misery from the start, it's dull, it's slow, it's painful But I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There's so much more, be grateful Well, who do you believe Who will you listen to Who will it be 'cause it's high time that you decide in your own mind I've tried to comfort you I've tried to tell you to be patient They are blind, and they can't see Fortune gonna come one day They're all gonna fade away Your daddy the war machine And your momma the long and suffering Prisoner of what she cannot see For they told you life is hard Misery from the start, It's dull, it's slow, it's painful But I tell you life is sweet In spite of the misery There's so much more, be grateful So, who will you believe Who will you listen to Who will it be 'cause it's high time that you decide It's time to make up your own your own state of mind Oh they told you life is long Be thankful when it's done Don't ask for more, be grateful But I tell you life is short Be thankful because Before you know it it will be over 'cause life is sweet, life is also very short life is sweet and life is also very short life is sweet
La-la-la-la... You've been so kind and generous I don't know how you keep on giving For your kindness, I'm in debt to you For your selflessness, my admiration For everything you've done, you know I'm bound I'm bound to thank you for it
La-la-la-la... You've been so kind and generous I don't know how you keep on giving For your kindness, I'm in debt to you And I never could have come, this far without you For everything you've done, you know I'm bound I'm bound to thank you for it
La-la-la-la... Oh, I want to thank you for so many gifts you gave The love, the tenderness, I wanna thank you I want to thank you for your generosity, the love And the honesty that you gave me I want to thank you show my gratitude My love, and my respect for you, I want to thank you Oh, I want to thank you, thank you; thank you, thank you I want to thank you, thank you; thank you, thank you
Blue, like the winter snow in the full moon Black like the silhouettes of the trees Late blooming flowers lie frozen underneath the storms I want you to remember me that way (Faraway) I'll be gone, will you wait for me here (how long) I don't know, will you wait for me here Still as the river grows in December Silent and perfect blinding ice Spring keeps her promises No cold can keep her back I want you to remember me that way (Faraway) I'll be gone, will you wait for me here (how long) I don't know, but wait for me here (follow) don't follow me to where, where I go (Faraway) I'll be gone, will you wait for me here (how long) I don't know, will you wait for me here (follow) don't follow me to where I've gone (follow) don't follow me to where I've gone (someday, you'll take my place) And I'll wait for you here
Take a look at my body Look at my hands There's so much here that I don't understand Your face-saving promises Whispered like prayers I don't need them 'cause I've been treated so wrong, I've been treated so long As if I'm becoming untouchable Well, contempt loves the silence, it thrives in the dark With fine winding tendrils that strangle the heart They say that promises sweeten the blow but I don't need them, no I don't need them I've been treated so wrong, I've been treated so long As if I'm becoming untouchable I'm a slow-dying flower In the frost-killing hour Sweet turning sour and untouchable I need the darkness, the sweetness, the sadness, the weakness Oh I need this I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight, angel, sweet love of my life Oh I need this I'm a slow-dying flower Frost-killing hour The sweet turning sour and untouchable Do you remember the way that you touched me before All the trembling sweetness I loved and adored Your face-saving promises Whispered liked prayers I don't need them I need the darkness, the sweetness, the sadness, the weakness Oh, I need this I need a lullaby, a kiss goodnight, angel, sweet love of my life Oh, I need this Well is it dark enough Can you see me Do you want me Can you reach me Oh, I'm leaving Better shut your mouth, and hold your breath You kiss me now, you catch your death Oh, I mean this Oh, I mean this
Remember how it all began The apple and the fall of man The price we pay So the people say Down the path of shame it led us Dared to bite the hand That fed us fairy tale and moral end Wheel of Fortune Never turns again Never turns again
The worst of it has come and gone And the chaos of millenium And the falling out of the doomsday crowd Their last retreat is moving slow They burn their bridges as they go The heretic is beautified Teach the harlot's child to smile
Rocked again by indecision Should we make that small incision Testify to the bleeding heart inside We cut, we scratched, we rend, we slashed And when he opened up at last Found a cul de sac Deep and black Smoke and ash Deep and black Smoke and ash
The wicked king of Parodies Kissing all his enemies On the seventh day Of the seventh week Tyrant's voice is softened now But just for one forgiving hour Before the rise of his Iron fist again Fist again
I've come tonight I've come to know The way we are The way we'll go And to measure this Width of the wide abyss
I come to you in restless sleep Where all your dreams turn bittersweet With voodoo doll philosophies Day glow holy trinities
The crooked raft that leaves the shore Ferries drunken souls aboard Pilgrims march to Compestelo Visions of their saint in yellow
Follow deep in trance Lost in a catatonic dance Know no future Damn the past Blind, warm, ecstatic Safe at last
나탈리 머천트의 목소리를 듣는 순간
그 순간이 바로 축제.
당신은 나의 여신2
토리 에이모스 다음으로ㅋㅋ
Wonder를 살까 하다가 이 곡으로 낙찰.
나탈리 머천트 언니 한국에 올 생각 없을까? 있을까? 빌리 조엘 아저씨도 오는 마당에
나탈리 언니도 언젠가는 함 오지 않을까? 기다려본다.
위로받고 싶을 만큼 지친 하루다....
나탈리 머천트의 대표곡 중 하나. 내가 갖고 있는 건 머천트의 베스트 앨범과
Beat Hard rock Live 앨범인데 라이브 느낌도 좋지만 그냥 원곡을 올리는게 나을 듯.
음악을 포스팅해야겠다는 집념이 사라지고 있는 요즘, 그냥
내가 좋아하는 극히 대중적이고 극히 알앤비 소녀스런 곡들이나
이 참에 다 정리해서 올려버려야겠다 싶었다....
