LATE NIGHT TALES BY THE CINEMATIC ORCHESTRA ..
“Take a chance in those wonderful words you just don’t understand. I can show you the way but i know that you’ll never be there. All the time , all the shine of your eyes I would never forget. All I know there’s no time, there’s no life there is no turning back. There is no turning back…”
JAPANESE GUM
I used to know this girl
Who gave her love away
To every guy she met
And with all the games they played
She never seemed to cry
She never got upset
And one by one they came
And one by one they left
I thought that I could fix her
If she would let me in
But all of my advances
Were shut down in the end
When days turned into months
I begged her to explain
And this is what she sang
It’s not like I’m a slut
Or that I really like to fuck
I just want every boy I see
To walk away with part of me
Until there’s nothing left to hold
Until there’s nothing left to hate
I appreciate your help
But even you can’t save me from myself
I used to know this boy
Who took notes in a book
But he ripped out all the pages
Before I got a look
At all the words he scribbled
At all the lines he filled
But the ink stains on his fingers
Told me he was skilled
At capturing a feeling
That most of us just miss
The simple pain of living
With goodbyes on our lips
I found one of the pages
Crumpled by her bed
And this is how it read
It’s not like I am weak
Or that I don’t know how to leave
It’s just that every time you cheat
You bring me closer to defeat
Until there’s nothing left to love
Until there’s nothing left to say
I know that you need help
But even I can’t save you from yourself
introducing palace players
In which we made sure no one got hurt.
What is it that you do?
You gotta get back up yourself.
We know so much.
So much we do.
No answer.
In a word,
You were told
That it’d fix your shaky home.
And what got made
Was broken, too.
Just a field with you,
Switching seats with you,
Tears us apart.
I don’t want it to.
Some peculiar fix,
The two of us.
Counting us out,
I don’t want it to.
Overnight, turned all grey.
What is it that you do?
You gotta get back up yourself.
We know so much,
So much we do.
No answer.
In a word
You were told,
That it’d fix your shaky home.
And what got made
Was broken, too.
Just a field with you,
Switching seats with you,
Tears us apart.
I don’t want it to.
Some peculiar fix,
The two of us.
Counting us out,
I don’t want it to.
Just a creed with you,
Switching seats with you
Tears us apart.
I don’t want it to.
What are we going to do?
I’d really like it if you
Turn out the lights as we planned.
It’s gonna hurt when we land.
I don’t want it to.
Why did you go?
Lots of different reasons,
So many, you can’t even count.
You think it’s right,
Jumping off the see-saw.
Or did you just want it to be?
Why did you go?
Lots of different reasons,
So many, you can’t even count.
You think it’s right,
Jumping off the see-saw.
Or did you just want it to be?
