Aztec Camera - Love/ Stray (2005) by Aztec Camera (보컬) on maniadb.com

It's called love
And every cruelty will cloud it
And his lie, his lie
True love could never allow it
'Cos it's a lie that we have ceased to believe
We've said goodbye but it won't take its leave

Why should it take the tears of a woman
To see how men are

P. E. R. S. P. E. C. T. I. V. E.
It's no mystery
What you don't know always gets you
It will hurt you and desert you
So you'd better seeThat it's a damage ever done by degrees
And some will take eternity to believe

Why should it take the tears of a woman
To see how men are

'Cos love is a giving with no need of return
It lends itself to everything
And maybe someday man will see
That love is a lesson money never taught us to learn
Love is the power to have
Without the premise that there's nothing for free

And sometimes when we're just getting by and getting along
It's like we're scared to see that something is wrong

Why should it take (why should) the tears of a woman (the tears of a woman)
To see how men are (To see how men are)

Why should it take (why should) the tears of a woman (the tears of a woman)
To see how men are (To see how men are... To see how men are)

P. E. R. S. P. E. C. T. I. V. E.
It's no mystery, s'no mystery (no mystery)

(P. E. R. S. P. E. C. T. I. V. E.
It's history
You better see
P. E. R. S. P. E. C. T. I. V. E...)

Now love is a burning ring
At the bottom of our being
Done down and disconnected
It lies like a sleeping thing
Our task is to awaken
Our mission it is clear
With lips and arms and unity
We've overcome our fear

Chorus:
That day will come


When everybody is a number one
Until that day
Thy never will be done

Some boss lickin' guy
Who said he was your friend
Tried to put me down
But I'll still be around
And for the people who would try
Just to take it apart
Let me tell it from the start
For the second time

Chorus

If I was a poet
I think I'd throw a stone
In anger and confusion
I would not be alone

I've seen that recipe
Lawmen and royalty
And nothing on earth can take that taste
And make it something sweet
I saw the news today
A broken everything with years to pay
And nobody else can save us now
And that's alright by me
'cos I say

Chorus:
We make love in the face of it all
Feel the freedom and the purity
And what we need is not security
Something more than a law


We walk at night in a blind wind
Through the streets where the rich ones lived
And what we want's beyond the will to win
Something more than a law

I feel the rain on me
I'm soaked in memory
And never will I betray that love
'cos that's not love by me
I know prosperity
But he could never be a part of me
The snow and the stone
Feeling never at home
Well she's my poetry
'cos I say

Chorus

And when we're lonely
It's more than lonely
So we turn around to say something bigger than us
But then who do you blame when your love is gone?

Summer in the city where the air is still
A baby being born to the overkill
Well who cares what people say
We walk down love's motorway

Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers

But somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be
Is true

A star above the city in the northern chill
A baby being born to the overkill
No say, no place to go
A TV, a radio

Ambition and love wearing boxing gloves
And singing hearts and flowers

But somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be
Is true

Who could heal
What's never been as one
And our hearts have been torn
Since the day we were born
Just like anyone

From Westwood to Hollywood
The one thing that's understood
Is that you can't buy time
But you can sell your soul
And the closest thing to heaven is to rock and roll

But somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be
Is true

Somewhere in my heart
There is a star that shines for you
Silver splits the blue
Love will see it through
And somewhere in my heart
There is the will to set you free
All you've got to be
Is true

Our love's the sound
Of broken skies
Too blind to see
What lies inside
We love what shines
Before our eyes
Why can't we learn
What hides?

Chorus:
Waiting on the last train
Flicking through the highlights
Livin' in a suitcase
Positively uptight
Kissing in the full moon
Drowning in the sunshine
Walking on a tightrope
And everything is gonna be just fine
'Cos I believe in your heart of gold
Automatically sunshine
Yeah glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine
And we believe that there's a heart beats on
In the dark of the closedown
Yeah glitter, glitter everywhere
Like working in a goldmine

And time not tied
Is time to feed
We lose our pride
We spill our seed
The worst of us
Escape so slow
The best of us
Just goes

Chorus

They'll make you work for everything
Never let it roll
Never let it swing
Take control and let your heart sing

One and one is one I hear
But it breaks my heart to come so near
And find division standing in our way
As London burns I lie awake
And wrestle with this passive state
But a broken heart is useless in these days

When I close my eyes to trouble
Baby I see you
And now I have the need to double
Everything I do
So I close my eyes and make a wish
Yeah, dream a dream for me
That one and one will someday be free

Oh boy I know
The crucial blow
They deal us every day
I feel it too
But need for you
To chase your blues away
But if my heart
Should come apart
My love should turn inside
I'll understand
You're just a man
I'll still be on your side

I've been searching
Seems like so long
For perfection
In a world made wrong
Here it's hard to be strong
Seems like we're heading
Down and down and down
But that's love

In my life, a million dreams take over
Paradise, a million miles away

You've been hurting

And I can see
As the world turns round and round
You spin with me
And when you're down
Don't you know I'm down too
But up or down
There's nowhere else I'd rather be
Than with you

In my mind, a million dreams take over
Paradise, a million miles away

In my life, a million dreams take over
Paradise, a million miles away

But walking down this lonely road
I stop and think of you
And I can see now
'cos I believe now
Paradise is true
Paradise is you

As the city asleep
Shares it's dreams and desires
Every wish that we keep
Will trace a line to other times, other places
Though the song of the proud
Howls and dies, never fall for defeat
Take a trip to reprieve
Every hour they leave
From killermont street

Drink a drink to before

And our memories spill
Adding on as they pour
From our saturdays and secret sensations
Drink a drink to tonight
Whisky words tumble down in the street
With the pain that they cure
Sentimentally yours
From killermont street

And with collar upturned
I made it south to see
That the love I had spurned
Was just the hate in me

As the ships and the steel
Slip away to the cry of 'compete'
There's a message for us
We can get there by bus
From killermont street

We were two in a million,
Stars like the ones in the sky,
A love scene and a vision,
We saw the world and we waved goodbye.
Watched the fireworks falling,
We kissed and innocence died.
The sound of certainty calling,
A world that wouldn't be satisfied.

I said,
You only get one hit, that's the beauty of it,
What's the good in crying?
It's always been that way, at the end of the day,
You gotta keep on trying.
Life's a one take movie and I don't care what it means,
I'm saving up my tears for the crying scene.

Tears fall and they haunt me,
The sad words of a song,
It's like necessity wants me,
Sometimes I long just to belong.
I dream of demons and money,
I see the straights in the rain,
I gotta keep on movin',
Before they drag me down again...

You only get one hit, that's the beauty of it,
What's the good in crying?
It's always been that way, at the end of the day,
You gotta keep on trying.
I said, life's a one take movie and I don't care what it means,
I'm saving up my tears for the crying scene.

I said,
You only get one hit, that's the beauty of it,
What's the good in crying?
It's always been that way, at the end of the day,
You gotta keep on trying.
Life's a one take movie and I don't care what it means,
I'm saving up my tears for the crying scene.
The crying scene
The crying scene

Words and music by roddy frame

The sun dying on a dusty room,
Tv lying to me through the gloom,
Even remote control can't change this mood,
Get outta london while the getting's good,
Get outta london while I know I could,
Get outta london.

Train's come just ride and believe,
The engine running's all the music I need,
I've got a fear of the past and a hunger to feed,
Get outta london and you shall be free,
Get outta london and it's guaranteed,
Get outta london.

I walked the avenue of dumb signs,
Meant nothing and it felt fine,


Then I remembered what was really mine,
A silver shiver running down my spine.

Down where the streets are pave with sick schemes,
The river's running like a snake through a dream,
The politicians gaze across it's slime,
I need another way to waste my time,
Get outta london, get outta london.

I saw the spectre of charity,
And he didn't seem brotherly,
Popping up what should be blown away.
A brotherhood of man in disarray,
I got hit by the dreamers disease,
Where your big ideas,
Don't make connection with your buckling knees,
And saw the greed and agreed that it sucked,
But they said, "don't laugh at money cos it's bad luck"
Get outta london, get outta london.

Words and music by roddy frame

Over my head, over my head
And I can't break free from these chains
Over my head go the things that we said


And I long to be above pain

When your heart is broken
Mine's in two
And I'm over my head in blue
Over the love of you.

Jock's got a vote in Parochia
10 long years and he's still got her
Paying tax and and doing stir
Worry about it later
And the wind blows hot and the wind blows cold
But it blows us good so we've been told
Music's food 'til the art-biz folds
Let them all eat culture

The past is steeped in shame
But tomorrow's fair game
For a life that's fit for living
Good morning, Britain

20 years and a loaded gun
Funerals, fear and the war ain't won
Paddy's still a figure of fun
It lightens up the danger
Corporal sneers at a Catholic boy
And he eyes his gun like a rich man's toy
He's killing more than Celtic joy
Death is not a stranger

Taffy's time's gonna come one day
It's a loud sweet voice and it won't give way
A house is not a holiday
Your sons are leaving home, Neil
In the hills and the valleys and far away
You can hear the song of democracy
The echo of eternity
With a Rak-a-Rak-a feel

The past is steeped in shame
But tomorrow's fair game
For a life that's fit for living
Good morning, Britain

From the Tyne to where to the Thames does flow
My English brothers and sisters know
It's not a case of where you go
It's race and creed and color
From the police cell to the deep dark grave
On the underground's just a stop away
Don't be too black, don't be too gay
Just get a little duller

But in this green and pleasant land
Where I make my home I make my stand
Make it cool just to be a man
A uniform's a traitor
Love is international
And if you stand or if you fall
Just let them know you gave your all
Worry about it later

The past is steeped in shame
But tomorrow's fair game
For a life that's fit for living
Good morning, Britain

The past is steeped in shame
But tomorrow's fair game
For a life that's fit for living
Good morning, Britain

Words and music by roddy frame

Well you can get grades, toe the line,
Keep your behind above the water in the meantime,
Join the corporate pyramid,
I couldn't blame you if you did,
Until you sell out your brother while your sister falls,
Playin' daddy, doing the company crawl,
You don't deserve your daughter's kiss, I know it's sad,
That's how it is.

Well, uptown there's been more than an oilspill,
Another woman beaten, raped, blood spilled, male hate,
The paper's couldn't wait, racism, sell this.


Well there's excusin' in what I'm saying,
It's just that there's a million colours praying,
For real justice.
That's how it really is.

You just get born, keep on keepin' on,
Defend yourself against the worries,
Try and have fun.
Party on until your number's picked,
But beware cos the fight is fixed,
It was them but it could be you next,
Paranoia saves lives,
So if you wanna exist,
Get your head round this...
That's how it is.

Words and music by roddy frame

I look around me and what do I see?
Sadness surrounds me, alone as can be
With too much time and too much distance.
These chains that bind me
They won't set me free,
I look behind me and coming for me
Is my best friend, she's my resistance.

Chorus:
So if you find yourself alone and so unkind,
And if you've asked yourself, over and over,
And even if your heartbeats hurt like goodbyes,
Try, try, try
Open your mind, spend some time,
With the gentle kind



I was torn between the darkness and the light,
Lost to all belief that it could turn out right.
But my quiet friend turned me round,
Made me see again.
Took my hand, said nothing much,
No lesson learned, just a gentle touch
And I am coming round,
I am coming round again.

Chorus

Cos' in a hard world, with fastness and an eye on the money,
I heard a soft voice, saying "never worry, hold on honey"
When my world was gone, a whisper kind of eased my mind.
And I am holdin' on,
To the gentle kind.

Words and music by roddy frame

All the madness in the mirror,
The tremblin' and the tears.
It takes a long time comin' out,
It's comin' out of here.
I've been wandering your london town,
And it's wearin' out my shoes.
It's a long road comin' down,
Comin' down with the blues.

But when you hold me and really make love to me,
I know that love is true forgiveness.
Time on my mind is time spent with you,
But it's time that I can't find,
With the notting hill blues.

Lovers pass me on the gate,


Like distant cousings, removed,
Holding hands, it seems like an act of fate,
And I'm almost moved.
But love has left me standing still,
With no directions and no clues,
No speech to let my feelings loose.
A celebration of the blues.

But when you hold me and really make love to me,
I know that love is true forgiveness.
Out on the road I was down with the crew,
Now I'm all alone, on the run,
With the notting hill blues.

And it's a lonely, lonely time,
Sadness preys upon my mind,
A telephone and a bottle of booze,
But who do you call? when your tongue tied,
Up all night.

Words and music by roddy frame

Awake,
In winter's crystal hours,
And give to what gets you in the end,
For the sake of a love that just devours,
And smiles and takes,
And lays you down again.

Run free
The moon is always female,
Straight to what's still and will not bend,


Don't wait for the sunshine to surround you,
Consume and fake,
And let you down again.

Cos' life is short,
And you better get smart,
To the people who know nothing,
And surround you.

Stand straight,
In what kills you and confounds you,
And break it's chains,
And still believe.
