Lorelei - Tom Tom Club

And there was a time when we sailed on together Once had a dream that we shared on the way And there was a place where we used to seek shelter I never knew the pain of the price I would pay You led me on with a cloak and a dagger And I didn't know you had made other plans You had me believe we were meant for forever I really thought my heart would be safe in your hands Lorelei My ship has passed you by And though you promised me to show the way You led me astray You were my Lorelei What kind of fool was I 'Cause I believed in every word you said And now I wonder why Lorelei And there was a time when we helped one another Baring our souls in the light of the flame Those were the days, now I've lost my illusions Sometimes I wake in the night and I call out your name Lorelei (Lorelei) My ship has passed you by And though you promised me to show the way You led me astray You were my Lorelei (Lorelei) What kind of fool was I 'Cause I believed in every word you said And now I wonder why Lorelei Now there's a light that shines on the river Blinding my eyes from so far away Shot through the heart, but now I know better As hard as it is to resist the song that you play Lorelei (Lorelei) My ship has passed you by And though you promised me to show the way You led me astray Oh, Lorelei (Lorelei) What kind of fool was I 'Cause I believed in every word you said And now I wonder why Lorelei

Tutte le cose hanno bisogno di una spiegazione Tutti i problemi hanno bisogno di una soluzione Ma a certe cose tu non troverai una spiegazione Ti rimarrà solo la soluzione, soluzione Il cielo ricopriva le sue stelle manto liscio Chi lo guardava aveva gli occhi verso l'infinito Cercando sogni con la calma di chi si è smarrito Urlando al mondo rabbia matta contro quel soffitto Quei giorni a capofitto, parole, rimedi Dov'è la soluzione di chi nasce con una malformazione? Vorrebbe solo camminare, non ci credi? Anche lei ha imparato a stare in piedi Nella sua cameretta, sognando di essere una principessa La musica placava le tormenta E le spiegava che ogni strada va percorsa anche se buia E che la vita va vissuta perché è una E anche se a volte è dura, il buio più di tanto poi non dura Il dolore non si cura ma si può lottare La consapevolezza di non essere mai come gli altri Ha sviluppato in lei una forza fuori dal normale Sai, il tempo non si ferma mai Noi lì nascosti persi nel via vai Quando cadiamo con i nostri guai Dovremmo fare come Lorelei Dovremmo fare come Lorelei, Lorelei Dovremmo fare come Lorelei Dovremmo fare come Lorelei Come Lorelei, come Lorelei Tutte le cose hanno bisogno di una spiegazione Tutti i problemi hanno bisogno di una soluzione Ma a certe cose tu non troverai una spiegazione Ti rimarrà solo la soluzione La soluzione può trovarla solo chi ha sofferto Perché la sofferenza spinge a un dialogo interiore Sorgerà una nuova alba anche se il cielo sarà coperto Da strati pregni d'insoddisfazione Perché un sorriso vale molto più di cento Vale molto più di cento parole Per ogni fine c'è un inizio, il resto è incerto E che c'è di certo? Di certo c'è che prima o poi si muore ma Non finirà l'amore, non finirà l'amore Non finirà l'amore, se tu diffondi amore Se tu diffondi amore, non finirà l'amore Se tu diffondi amore, l'amore non finirà Mai, il tempo non si ferma mai Noi lì nascosti persi nel via vai Quando cadiamo con i nostri guai Dovremmo fare come Lorelei Dovremmo fare come Lorelei, Lorelei Dovremmo fare come Lorelei Dovremmo fare come Lorelei Come Lorelei, come Lorelei

Back in the days of knights in armor There once lived a lovely charmer Swimming in the Rhine Her figure was divine She had a yen for all the sailors Fishermen and gobs and whalers She had a most immoral eye They called her Lorelei She created quite a stir And I want to be like her I want to be like that gal on the river Who sang her song to the ships passing by She had the goods and how she could deliver The Lorelei She used to love in a strange kind of fashion With lots of hey-ho-de-ho-hi-de-hi And I can guarantee I'm full of passion Like the Lorelei I'm treacherous, yeah-yeah Oh, I just can't hold myself in check I'm lecherous, yeah-yeah I want to bite my initials on a sailor's neck Each affair has a kick and a wallop For what they crave, I can always supply I want to be just like that other trollop The Lorelei I want to be just like that other trollop The Lorelei

Lorelei Maybe you like a little melody It's not the words that move me Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Maybe you like a lullaby Now I can't remember why Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Intuition's leading us where I don't know yet Lorelei Lorelei Something's happening Hard to place it, hard to hide it Lorelei Lorelei What is happening I'm not sure, I guess you know it Lorelei Lorelei Deep in the jungle of thought There comes a clearing And in the clearing There is a pool The pool is deep The water cool This is the thought The thought is you Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Intuition's leading us where I don't know yet Lorelei Lorelei Something's happening Hard to place it, hard to hide it Lorelei Lorelei What is happening I'm not sure, I guess you know it Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Across the wasted plain Across the twisted dunes Beyond the colored lights The mountain looms The air is thin The door within The sea of light The light is you Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei Lorelei

I fought the beast and I broke his jaw I cut out his heart and I ate it raw I seen some people in misery Makes all my questions seem like luxury That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave I climbed a mountain to the top It was just a very big rock After the up I have always found You can count on coming down That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave I played guitar with a media star The entire event took place in a bar Where'd the kid go? is he in a funk? It's not your fault they filled your head with junk ... That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave I heard some church bells toll through the woods I thought they'd done sellin' them goods Me, my sins are at the laundromat And when I'm clean I'm goin' back ... That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave That's why I go to the outzone There I can ride on a love wave
