from that thread: lyrics anyone?
sometimes the names are not enough →[More:]
You've got to look at life the way it oughta be,
Looking at the stars from underneath a tree,
There's a world inside and a world out there,
With that tv you just don't care
They've got violence, wars and killing too,
All shrunk down in a two-foot tube,
But out there the world is a beautiful place,
With mountains, lakes and the human race.
This is where I wanna be
And this is what I wanna do
In my world the devil dances and dares
To leave my soul just anywhere
Until I find peace in this world
I'll sing a song everywhere I can
E Eb
Just too young to know any more
The wind covers me cold
The starry skies all around my eyes
Far behind the city moans
Well worthy of the people there
So let me sing a song for you
Just to help your day along
Let me sing a song for you
B F#
One I've known so very long
E Eb
Oh, please could you find the time
I get home from work and you're still standing in your dressing gown
Well what am I to do?
I know all the things around your head and what they do to you
What are we coming to?
What are we gonna do?
Blame it on the black star
Blame it on the falling sky
Blame it on the satellite that beams me home
well i know something
about the ways of lovin'
ooh oooh
and i tell you baby baby baby baby
baby, i know something's wrong
but i skyeyes above
won't be loh oh oh oh only
i hate to make you crazy
but i've got to got to
get away
goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye goodbye
I roll the window down
And then begin to breathe in
The darkest country road
And the strong scent of evergreen
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home
Then looking upwards
I strain my eyes and try
To tell the difference between shooting stars and satellites
From the passenger seat as you are driving me home
"Do they collide?"
I ask and you smile
With my feet on the dash
The world doesn't matter
When you feel embarrassed then I'll be your pride
When you need directions then I'll be the guide
There's a hole in the river where my auntie lies
From the land of the living to the air and sky
Left her car by the river left her shoes beside
Through the thorns and the bushes I hope she was ...
Dreaming of glory
Miles above the mountains and plains
Free at last
We were touched by a cold wind, my father and I
The sound of desperate breathing, her fear inside us all
She was coming to see him but something changed her mind
Drove her down to the river
There is no return
Her name is Yoshimi - she's a black belt in karate
Working for the city - she has to discipline her body -
Cause she knows that it's demanding to defeat these
Evil machines - I know she can beat them -
Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots defeat me
Oh Yoshimi
They don't believe me
But you won't let those
Robots eat me
Those evil natured robots - they're programmed to
Destroy us - She's gotta be strong to fight them -
So she's taking lots of vitamins - cause she knows that
It'd be tragic if those evil robots win - I know
She can beat them
