The Theory of Everything

When you're gone

Hold onto love that is what I do now that I've found you.
And from above everything's stinking, they're not around you. 

And in the night, I could be helpless,
I could be lonely, sleeping without you. 

And in the day, everything's complex,
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you. 

But I'll miss you when you're gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby!
And it's going to carry on, that is what I do. Hey, baby... 

Hold onto my hands, I feel I'm sinking, sinking without you.
And to my mind, everything's stinking, stinking without you. 

And in the night, I could be helpless,
I could be lonely, sleeping without you. 

And in the day, everything's complex,
There's nothing simple, when I'm not around you. 

But I'll miss you when you're gone, that is what I do. Hey, baby!
And it's going to carry on, that is what I do. hey, baby...

Song for Sienna

Learning To Fly

Well I started out down a dirty road
Started out all alone
And the sun went down as I crossed the hill
And the town lit up, the world got still

I'm learning to fly, but I ain't got wings
Coming down is the hardest thing

Well the good ol' days may not return
And the rocks might melt and the sea may burn

Well some say life will beat you down
Break your heart, steal your crown
So I've started out for God knows where
I guess I'll know when I get there

I'm learning to fly, around the clouds
But what goes up must come down

No One Like You

Girl, it's been a long time that we've been apart
Much too long for a man who needs love
I miss you since I've been away
Babe, it wasn't easy to leave you alone
It's getting harder each time that I go
If I had the choice, I would stay

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just wanna be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just wanna be loved by you

Girl, there are really no words strong enough
To describe all my longing for love
I don't want my feelings restrained
Ooh, babe, I just need you like never before
Just imagine you'd come through this door
You'd take all my sorrow away

There's no one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just wanna be loved by you

No one like you
I can't wait for the nights with you
I imagine the things we'll do
I just wanna be loved by you

No one like you

Love Is A Losing Game

For you I was the flame
Love is a losing game
Five story fire as you came
Love is losing game

 

One I wished, I never played
Oh, what a mess we made
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

 

Played out by the band
Love is a losing hand
More than I could stand
Love is a losing hand

 

Self-professed profound
Till the chips were down
Know you're a gambling man
Love is a losing hand

 

Though I battled blind
Love is a fate resigned
Memories mar my mind
Love is a fate resigned

 

Over futile odds
And laughed at by the gods
And now the final frame
Love is a losing game

Since You've Been Gone

I get the same old dreams same time everynight
Fall to the ground and I wake up
So I get out of bed, put on my shoes and in my head
Thoughts fly back to the breakup

These four wall are closing in
Look at the fix you put me in

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

So in the night I stand beneath the backstreet light
I read the words that you sent to me
I can take the afternoon, the night time comes around
too soon
You can't know what you mean to me

Your poison letter, your telegram
Just goes to show you don't give a damn

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Since you been gone

If you will come back
Baby, you know you'll never do wrong

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Could I be wrong
But since you been gone
You cast your spell so break it
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
Ever since you been gone

Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it
Since you been gone
Since you been gone
I'm out of my head can't take it

Love Don't Come Easy

There comes a time
When baby you 'n me
We gotta work it out
Whatever it will be
It feels so right
But somewhere deep inside
You don't know how you feel
You don't know if it is real

Do you want it
Do you need it
'Cause love don't come easy
Do you want it
Do you need it
'Cause love don't come easy

There comes a time
When you wake up one day
Not knowing if our love
Will take us all the way
Then suddenly,
Oh, you feel you must decide
If we should carry on
With what we've just begun
You know that it ain't always easy
You know that it ain't always right
When love finds a place in your heart

You can walk out through this open door
Just like so many times before
If you don't find what you are looking for
You may be lost forevermore

You know that it ain't always easy
You know that it ain't always right
When love finds a place in your heart

There comes a time
When baby you should know
We are gonna make it
You gotta let it show
'Cause I cant wait
And find out in the end
That you will not be standing
Right here by my side

I Want Someone Badly

Now I want someone badly
Got a girl here tonight
Want someone new
Someone new

But (a) little cry wants someone badly
Wanna know if this is a bad lease on me
(I want know)
I want know
Am I sure that I heard you right
I want to know
If you're leaving just do it tonight

Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
Better listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything to it with me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right 

Now I want someone badly
To burn in here with me
Better listen baby
'Cause I cry all over madly
Don't do anything to it with me
Ooh I wanna know
Am I sure that I have your love
I want know
If you're leaving just make sure it's right 

Now I, I want someone badly
Could it be true
That someone is you

Manchester

I wrote me a book
I hid the last page
I didn't even look
I think I locked it in a cage
Wrote a novel
Cause everybody likes to read a novel...

It started with a word,
and it started pretty well
about a rare and fragile bird that I couldn't even spell
on the table
I think I left it on the table...

I found the last page in the sky,
cold and sweet, like an apple
I found you and now the story has its proper end

Oh hello,
will you be mine?
I haven't felt this alive in a long time
All the streets are warm today

I read the signs
I haven't been this in love in a long time
the sun is up, the sun will stay
Oh for the new day

The very last breath of the hero of our tale,
would lead you only to guess
Did he truly prevail
in the sequel?
I guess I'll have to write a sequel...

My favourite part's when I die
in your arms like a movie
It's tragic, but now the story has it's proper end

Oh hello,
will you be mine?
I haven't felt this alive in a long time
All the streets are warm and gray

I read the signs
I haven't been this in love in a long time
The sun is up, the sun will stay
All for the new day

Will you be mine?
The days are short and I wrote me my last rhyme
All the streets are warm today
I read the signs
I haven't been this in love in a long time

It's been a long time

Hold The Line

It's not in the way that you hold me
It's not in the way you say you care
It's not in the way you've been treating my friends
It's not in the way that you stayed till the end
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

 

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

 

It's not in the words that you told me, girl
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

 

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

 

It's not in the words that you told me
It's not in the way you say you're mine, ooh
It's not in the way that you came back to me
It's not in the way that your love set me free
It's not in the way you look or the things that you say that you'll do

 

Hold the line, love isn't always on time, oh oh oh
Hold the line, love isn't always on time (Love isn't always on time)

 

Hold the line, love isn't always on time (love isn't always, love isn't always on time)
Hold the line, love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time
Love isn't always on time, oh oh oh

Any Way You Want It

Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it

She loves to laugh
She loves to sing
She does everything
She loves to move
She loves to groove
She loves the lovin' things

Ooh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Ooh baby, hold tight

Oh,she said,
"Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it"
She said, "Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it"

I was alone
I never knew
What good love could do
Ooh, then we touched
Then we sang
About the lovin' things

Ooh, all night, all night
Oh, every night
So hold tight, hold tight
Ooh baby, hold tight

Oh, she said,
"Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it"
She said, "Any way you want it
That's the way you need it
Any way you want it"

Who Are You?

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I woke up in a Soho doorway
A policeman knew my name
He said "You can go sleep at home tonight
If you can get up and walk away"

I staggered back to the underground
And the breeze blew back my hair
I remember throwin' punches around
And preachin' from my chair

Well, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
Tell me, who are you? (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)
'Cause I really wanna know (Who are you? Who, who, who, who?)

I took the tube back out of town
Back to the Rollin' Pin
I felt a little like a dying clown
With a streak of Rin Tin Tin

I stretched back and I hiccupped
And looked back on my busy day
Eleven hours in the Tin Pan
God, there's got to be another way

Who are you?
Ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ooh wa ...

Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?
Who are you?
Who, who, who, who?

I know there's a place you walked
Where love falls from the trees
My heart is like a broken cup
I only feel right on my knees

I spit out like a sewer hole
Yet still recieve your kiss
How can I measure up to anyone now
After such a love as this

Stubborn Love

She'll lie and steal, and cheat, and beg you from her knees
Make you think she means it this time
She'll tear a hole in you, the one you can't repair
But I still love her, I don't really care

When we were young, oh, oh, we did enough
When it got cold, ooh, ooh, we bundled up
I can't be told, ah, ah, it can't be done

It's better to feel pain, than nothing at all
The opposite of love's indifference
So pay attention now, I'm standing on your porch screaming out
And I won't leave until you come downstairs

So keep your head up, keep your love
Keep your head up, my love

Keep your head up, my love

Keep your head up, keep your love

And I don't blame you dear for running like you did all these years
I would do the same, you'd best believe
And the highway signs say we're close but I don't read those things anymore
I never trusted my own eyes

When we were young oh, oh, we did enough
When it got cold, ooh, ooh we bundled up
I can't be told, ah, ah, it can't be done

So keep your head up, keep your love
Keep your head up, my love

Keep your head up, my love

Keep your head up, keep your love

Head up, love
Head up, love
Head up, love
Head up, love

I Will Wait

Well, I came home
Like a stone
And I fell heavy into your arms
These days of dust
Which we've known
Will blow away with this new sun

But I'll kneel down,
Wait for now
And I'll kneel down,
Know my ground

And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

So break my step
And relent
Well, you forgave and I won't forget
Know what we've seen
And him with less
Now in some way shake the excess

'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

Now I'll be bold
As well as strong
And use my head alongside my heart
So tame my flesh
And fix my eyes
A tethered mind freed from the lies

And I'll kneel down,
Wait for now
I'll kneel down,
Know my ground

Raise my hands
Paint my spirit gold
And bow my head
Keep my heart slow

'Cause I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you
And I will wait, I will wait for you

In Hell I'll Be In Good Company

Dead Love couldn't go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord I ain't coming home with you

My life's a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don't know what I'm gonna do

I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee
My squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell's bells, miss-spells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn't hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I'll be in good company

Dead Love couldn't go no further
Proud of and disgusted by her
Push shove, a little bruised and battered
Oh Lord I ain't coming home with you

My life's a bit more colder
Dead wife is what I told her
Brass knife sinks into my shoulder
Oh babe don't know what I'm gonna do

I see my red head, messed bed, tear shed, queen bee
My squeeze
The stage it smells, tells, hell's bells, misspells
Knocks me on my knees
It didn't hurt, flirt, blood squirt, stuffed shirt
Hang me on a tree
After I count down, three rounds, in hell I'll be in good company

Hoy converso con Miguel

Que como el sol sea mi verso,
más grande y dulce cuanto más viejo...

Que mi voz suba a los montes y baje a la tierra y truene
eso pide mi garganta desde ahora y desde siempre.
Aquí estoy para vivir mientras el alma me suene
y aquí estoy para morir cuando la hora me llegue.
Y si me muero, que muera con la cabeza muy alta,
muerto y veinte veces muerto, la boca contra la grama.
Cantando espero a la muerte, que hay ruiseñores que cantan
encima de los fusiles y en medio de las batallas.
No, no hay carcel para el hombre, no podran atarme, no,
este mundo de cadenas me és pequeño y exterior,
¿quien encierra una sonrisa?, ¿quien amuralla una voz?
A lo lejos tu más sola que la muerte, la una y yo.
A lo lejos tu sintiendo en tus brazos mi prisión,
en tus brazos donde late la libertad de los dos...
... libre soy, sienteme libre, libre soy, solo por amor. 

El se llama barro, aunque Miguel se llame,
sentado sobre los muertos el alma se relame
es su sino sangriento afilado hacia el papel
yo navego entre sus versos, hoy converso con Miguel. 

Desperté de ser niño, nunca despiertes,
triste llevo la boca, riete siempre,
Siempre en la cuna, defiendo la risa pluma por pluma.
Músicas exasperadas, duras como botas, huellan
la faz de las esperanzas y de las entrañas tiernas.
Crepita el alma, la ira. El llanto relampaguea,
¿Para qué quiero la luz si tropiezo con las tinieblas?
Un carnívoro cuchillo, de ala dulce y homicida
sostiene un vuelo y un brillo alrededor de mi vida.
Rayo de metal crispado fulgentemente caido,
picotea mi costado y hace en él un triste nido.
Pero al fin podré vencerte, ave y rayo secular,
corazón, que de la muerte nadie ha de hacerme dudar.
Sigue, pues, sigue cuchillo, volando, hiriendo, algún día
se pondrá el tiempo amarillo sobre mi fotografía. 

El se llama barro, aunque Miguel se llame,
sentado sobre los muertos el alma se relame
es su sino sangriento afilado hacia el papel
yo navego entre sus versos, hoy converso con Miguel. 

Vientos del pueblo le llevan hasta el último rincón,
es vecino de la muerte y le sobra el corazón.
Voz de campesino, su sangre es un camino cruel,
yo navego entre sus versos, hoy converso con Miguel.
Por las calles voy dejando algo que voy recogiendo,
pedazos de vida mía venidos desde muy lejos.
Como una fontana que, eterna en brotar persiste,
como un sendero me iré y no acabaré de irme.
Beso soy, sombra con sombra.
Beso, dolor con dolor.
Por haberme enamorado, corazón sin corazon.
De las cosas, del aliento sin sombra de la creación,
sed con agua en la distancia pero sed alrededor.
Lucho contra la sangre, me debato
contra tanto zarpazo y tanta vena.
Y cada cuerpo que tropiezo y trato,
es otro borbotón de sangre, otra cadena.
¿No cesara este rayo que me habita?
¿No cesará esta terca estalactita?
No quiero dormir-morir, no quiero morir durmiendo
en sagrada tierra estéril, yo quiero morir viviendo.

El se llama barro, aunque Miguel se llame,
sentado sobre los muertos el alma se relame
es su sino sangriento afilado hacia el papel
yo navego entre sus versos, hoy converso con Miguel. 

Vientos del pueblo le llevan hasta el último rincón,
es vecino de la muerte y le sobra el corazón.
Voz de campesino, su sangre es un camino cruel,
yo navego entre sus versos, hoy converso con Miguel. 

El llegó con tres heridas...
La del amor...
La de la muerte...
La de la vida...
Hijo de la luz y de la sombra...
Miguel Hernández.
