Cris Rea Текст песни - Auberge On the hard fast train On the road to gain Something gets right through to your telling bone There"s a sudden itch An electric twitch Sometimes I swear this body"s got a mind of it"s own
This is the naked truth This is the light There"s only one place left to go Auberge
You meet the silent type On a windy trail With a shiny cloak and an unseen silver dagger You can talk till you ache Give yourself one more break You can tell by the look on his face that it just doesn"t matter
This is the naked truth This is the light There"s only one place left to go Auberge
Give me a weekend Give me a day Don"t like what I"m seeing though I hear what you say Think with a dagger And you"ll die on your knees Begging for mercy Singing please mister please
This is the naked truth This is the light There"s only one place left to go
Cris Rea Текст песни - Baby Don"t Cry The cold axe of bad love Sure cut you down There"s nothing to hold on to now In this part of town
Your heart has been broken But hear what I say Ain"t nothing but a cold night Bringing home a new day I know what you"re feeling What you"re going through How much it must hurt you Like nothing else do
Don"t cry, baby don"t cry, the worst is over Don"t cry, baby don"t cry, the worst is gone
Hey little angel, oh hear what I say The pain that you"re feeling I swear it won"t stay "Cos I got the wisdom Of a thousand broken bones And I"ll be here with you So you never be alone
Cris Rea Текст песни - Because of you I used to hang my head down low Never knowing which way I was going My life was getting close to the edge And I knew that it was showing
Because of you I can stand and hold my head up high Because of you I feel free and yet I don"t know why
Each morning is a spring time song With the sun up in the sky The sadness that is on your face Helped me to realise I owe each day I have to you And I"ll pay you back some day You"re reading me like a book But I really would like to say
Because of you I can stand and hold my head up high Because of you I feel free and yet I don"t know why
Yes I do, it"s you And I"ll pay you back some day Because of you I have finally found my way
Cris Rea Текст песни - Black dog Black dog barking in the cold grey light He pulls the chain and he pulls it tight This ain"t no lonesome wail that boy ain"t faking He bites the steel and he claws the ground He pulls again and he spins around His eyes are raging and his burning lungs are steaming
He wanna walk in the sun Feel love like anyone No one knows that black dog better than I I said no one knows that black dog better than I
When I see his running I can see me Teeth in the collar and he"s tearing it free Spit out the leather and the cold studs that kept you from singing Run till you"re bleeding run till you"re hot till the memory of all this you"ve long since forgot Run till forever till the bells of your freedom are ringing
He wanna walk in the sun Feel love like anyone No one knows that black dog better than I
Cris Rea Текст песни - Blue Cafe My world is miles of endless roads That leaves a trail of broken dreams Where have you been I hear you say? I will meet you at the Blue Cafe Because, this is where the one who knows Meets the one who does not care The cards of fate The older shows To the younger one, who dares to take The chance of no return
Where have you been? Where are you going to? I want to know what is new I want to go with you What have you seen? What do you know that is new? Where are you going to? Because I want to go with you
So meet me down at the Blue Cafe
The cost is great, the price is high Take all you know, and say goodbye Your innocence, inexperience Mean nothing now
Because, this is where the one who knows Meets the one that does not care Where have you been? I hear you say I"ll meet you at the Blue Cafe
Cris Rea Текст песни - Boom boom Take a look what"s be going on behind me I swear to God this ain"t no making of my own
That stupid cupid arrow Lost for years and never found me Now she"s dancing on my history And she drives the dagger home
"Cos when I see that angel walking past my window When I see that angel walking past my door I know what this tired old heart"s been waiting, waiting for Boom boom Boom boom
And I can"t win There ain"t no us denying So many years of experience Tell me it"s so
That stupid cupid arrow Lost for years and never found me Now she"s dancing on my history And she drives the dagger home
"Cos when I see that angel walking past my window When I see that angel walking past my door I know what this tired old heart"s been waiting, waiting for Boom boom Boom boom
Cris Rea Текст песни - Burning feet No standing with these burning feet I got to kill the the fire Got to kill the heat I see a road and a river I gotta go "cos there"s fire in my shoes And you"re moving too slow For these burning feet
I got to move Burning feet Need a cool groove Burning feet Win or lose Looking to kill the heat Oh these burning shoes
One day they"ll find me in pieces, By the side of the track Smoke trail behind me, Flames from my back This is what made me, Yeah how I was made Forever, in the heat And never in the shade Of these burning feet
Burning feet I got to move Burning feet Need a cool groove Burning feet Win or lose Looking to kill the heat
Cris Rea Текст песни - Candles Faith for reasons still unknown Like "Bleak House fog" seems everywhere The truth has frozen into stone And hope lies freezing in the midnight air Though dark our days may seem This is a different dream Their freedom light don"t shine at all
So I will light a candle for you Keep it burning in the night And pray that you are all right I will light a candle for you Little candle burning bright
When school yard heroes disappeared The little girl, she stands alone Oh I believe you if you say A prayer can help to get her home
So I will light a candle for you Keep it burning in the night And pray that you are all right I will light a candle for you
Cris Rea Текст песни - Curse of the traveller On the restless road to nowhere There"s no certain peace it seems Desire to keep on moving till the river of dreams Is it just because someone told you Is it just because you found Old freedom feels uneasy when duty is around
When allegiance asks the questions Old freedom twists and turns And chokes on codes of honour On the sword of no return
And it"s the curse of the traveller The curse of the traveller Got a hold of me And it won"t let you be
And in sleepless nights You"ll call her name And feel loneliness cold to the bone And when the daylight breaks This old tired heart aches To be such a long way, such a long way from home
And you long for the harbourlights But you"ll never be free Of the craving for refuge And the call of the sea Always wanting to sell up But always needing to buy So till the road leads to somewhere And that river runs dry
It"s the curse of the traveller Ain"t gonna let you be The curse of the traveller
Cris Rea Текст песни - Dancing with Charlie Charlie was a loser till that sunny day No-one saw him leaving as he sailed away Treated like a sinner, no-one gave a damn Till Charlie threw two sixes Now he"s got them in his hand
Now they"re waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie
No-one seems to know how No-one seems to care Doesn"t really matter just as long as you are there Party in the moonlight, free drinks at the bar You can bet what"s in your pocket that Charlie won"t be far Now they"re waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie
Charlie bought a jet plane, Charlie rides the sky Friends appear from nowhere, Charlie gets them high Big D was a gambler with everything to lose Charlie didn"t have anything So he didn"t have to choose
And they"re waiting in line to go dancing with Charlie They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie And they"re standing in line to go dancing with Charlie They wanna be seen dancing with Charlie
Cris Rea Текст песни - Daytona Diamond dream when the sun don"t shine I close my eyes to see Twelve wild horses in silver chains Calling out to me
Oh Daytona Shine your light on me Oh Daytona Shine your light on me
Now she ain"t easy so you take good care Or she will scream down on your lust She can please you like no other Or she can leave you eating dust Oh Daytona Shine your light on me Burning passion heat my day Let me sit inside your wonder Cloudless daydream, oh dance of dances To have tamed the sound of thunder Oh Daytona Shine your light on me Oh Daytona
Cris Rea Текст песни - Fires of spring She"s back real late yet she don"t seem to care She hangs around outside in late night air Burning tears upon a smiling face And she"s caught in the fires of spring
The ice of loneliness you"ve known so long For good or not seems to have been and gone Your Phoenix flies you high on crazy wings And you"re caught in the fires of spring
When all that you do has faded from view and [????? ????? ????? ?????] don"t mean a thing oh you"re burned and I"m blind [well, something like that] and you"re caught in the fires of spring
You"ve been before but never been so fast Your only hope is that it"s gonna last You know the pain and yet you love it"s sting And you"re caught in the fires of spring
Cris Rea Текст песни - Fool (if you think it"s over) A dying flame, you"re free again Who could love and do that to you All dressed in black, he won"t be coming back Save your tears, you"ve got years and years The pains of seventeen"s Unreal they"re only dreams Save your crying for the day
Fool if you think it"s over "Cos you said goodbye Fool if you think it"s over I"ll tell you why New born eyes always cry with pain At the first look at the morning sun You"re a fool if you think it"s over It"s just begun
Miss teenage dream, such a tragic scene he knocked your crown and ran away First wound of pride and how you cried and cried But save your tears you"ve got years and years
Fool if you think it"s over "Cos you said goodbye Fool if you think it"s over I"ll tell you why New born eyes always cry with pain At the first look at the morning sun You"re a fool if you think it"s over It"s just begun
I"ll buy your first good wine We"ll have a real good time Save your crying for the day That may not come but anyone Who had to pay would laugh at you and say
Fool if you think it"s over "Cos you said goodbye Fool if you think it"s over I"ll tell you why
Cris Rea Текст песни - Giverny Deep inside these old dusty walls There"s a sacred heart, I"d know this garden anywhere She was warm, she was deep summertime She was love itself and she was standing there Standing close, so close to me I closed my eyes and I could see Giverny
And in this strange and holy place I looked for love and found it everywhere It was what you saw she came to see Because of you she was standing there Giverny
Books may burn and rain may fall But what is here I know will last forever more Colours change, there are no defines She was love itself and I thank you for giving me
Cris Rea Текст песни - Give that girl a diamond She shines her light where just before There was only A cold wind blowing She understands what makes me smile And lets me know that Without showing I need to tell her, need to show her, How deep she goes
Inside of me She is the stone that breaks the hard shell And rings out the loudest bell With whispered words that scream out All the peace in me
Give that girl a diamond Yeah give that girl a diamond And say it"s from me A blue reflected light, Way past the darkest place, My only private night Of fearful dreams She is stone that stabs my shield of steel The peace that she makes me feel With whispered words I need to tell her, Need to show her, How deep she goes Inside of me
Cris Rea Текст песни - God Gave Me an Angel I was never born with a face of a movie star I was never blessed with an easyload along the way I have taken the wrong turning So many times I can’t remember But one thing I have for sure I can always smile and say
God gave me an angel with a smiling face God gave me an angel this I know My churches are all empty and I’m guity everyday But God gave me an angel anyway
Cris Rea Текст песни - Heading for the city All my friends packing up, Loading up their Volvo"s And their pick up trucks Going down the road, To try their luck So spin that dream, Go heading for the city Roll that dice, Say a prayer, Light a candle for me When you get there, Win or lose, We"re heading for the city
Well I got a problem hear what I say They"re telling me I got to move away I was happy here, They tell me I can"t stay Now whats screaming rain is heading this way For those who sleep and choose to stay The game they didn"t know They had to play So win or lose We"re heading for the city So roll that dice Say a prayer Light a candle for me When you get there, Win or lose, We"re heading for the city
Cris Rea Текст песни - Hey you I"m stood out with my brother On a tree lined avenue I see the sweetest little creature Coming into my view And I say to myself, I say man I"m gonna get me some Of that bright little angel That shines like the morning sun Well my brother steps in, faster that light And he sweet talks this angel, clean out of sight
I say hey you, you with that look in your eye Hey you, you with that look in your eye
Well she moves like a river From her head down to her toes It"s less a way of walking More a total flow And I say to myself, I wonder I wonder if she knows What she"s doing to me and my brother From our heads down to our toes Well he"s up there on the corner now He"s playing up that Romeo like only he know how
I say hey you, you with that look in your eye Hey you, you with that look in your eye Hey you, you that make the stars shine
Cris Rea Текст песни - I"m ready I got my red shoes on Got my red gloves too Made my decision Gonna see this one through Too late, I can"t stop now Open the door, I"ll get through somehow
Deep in my darkest night I always had a star that shone so bright Star of hope, shine on me I can take what comes my way Whatever goes down, whatever they say Star of hope shine on me
"Cos I"m ready Oh I"m ready
Deep in my darkest night I always had a star that shone so bright Star of hope, shine on me I can take what comes my way Whatever goes down, whatever they say Star of hope shine on me
Cris Rea Текст песни - I ain"t the fool I may look like a stranger with nothing to say Silent in the corner while you"re talking away Your theories are endless, your lips never sleep No time for reflection, there"s no tongue in your cheek
Oh no, I ain"t fool here Oh no, I ain"t fool here
The muscles in your mouth must be stronger than steel You can talk till forever but ain"t got no feel Your scull must be empty, your brain cells run dry Calling everybody Learning nothing till the day that you die
Cris Rea Текст песни - Johnny needs a fast car Johnny needs a fast car Johnny needs it bad Johnny always do the best whatever Johnny has Johnny needs a fast one Johnny needs it now You got to give him something to let him show you how Johnny needs a fast car
Johnny needs a fast car Johnny needs a break Johnny don"t need good luck "Cos Johnny never fakes He"ll always make it look good You"ll always see him smile Give Johnny a few inches and he"ll give you back a mile
Johnny needs a fast car Johnny needs a fast car
Tears upon the broken bones of luck that never went his way
Cris Rea Текст песни - Josephine There"s rain on my window But I"m thinking of you Tears on my pillow But I will come through Josephine, I"ll send you all my love And every single step I take I take for you Josephine There"s a storm on my radar But I can still fly And you are the reason The blue in my sky Josephine
A life without meaning I was walking away In the coldest of winters Night becomes day Josephine, I"ll send you all my love And every single step I take I take for you
Cris Rea Текст песни - Just one of those days Cold red sunsets that freeze the rainbows out Standing here in the rain I"ve been thinking how, how much happier I have been since you came Staring down at the sidewalk shining Satin winds floating down Change the crystals on ladies faces I think I"ll stick around Laden gutters, flowing over Hit the streets and explode Young girls laughing and make up streaming Go running down the road I"ve been thinking and too much drinking And things I just don"t dare to say It"s still raining but who"s complaining It"s just one of those days
Cris Rea Текст песни - Let"s Do It We can"t do it for the money, They don"t do cash no more We can"t do it because we do it so well "Ain"t nobody left to keep the score They changed the rules Made us look like fools Send us lies from way above Lets do it Hear what I say Lets do it "Cos we"re busted anyway Let"s do it, lets do it for the love
You"ve still got your left hook I"ve still got my jab They"re so dumb they never see it coming We were the best they ever had They slapped our faces with a belt of lies Now you know what I"m thinking of Let"s do it... hear what I say Let"s do it... "cos we"re busted any way Let"s do it? lets do it for the love
