Reaching over
life to life
feeling sugared skin
my poor baby
kissed him so
to ashamed to lift his chin
a voice is speaking
he's the prophet
blinded by the light
a heart is breaking
I can hear it
dropped when gone beyond my sight
hey there, Mr. Talk Too Much
what's in store for us now?
I don't know how to speak to you
I don't know how to trust you
I don't kow how to live for you
I don't know how to love you
the gentleman who fell before the court
I feel your closeness
like a shotgun
a chill within my soul
I touch your finger
know your darkness
your passion takes its' toll
can't see that this talk is cheap
let the suffering go
Repeat First Chorus
Repeat First B Section
Repeat Chorus
Now, be free
the sky must have fallen
when I couldn't see
your life's weak strain
I take a step back
and you've fallen again
But if you'd listened
a little closer
reaching over
this cold shoulder
Oh Charlie, a boy and his toys
I see you lying stiff and cold
spread out upon the bedroom floor
kiss me darling with those
pale lips once more
hands could never comfort you
not so well as steel could do
Freak on in
did you think ths time
you would finally win
a trip of life
Repeat B section
Repeat Chorus
Reeling spinning out of lies
daisy vision in your eyes
boat is sinking someone cries
you have left me to surmise
your surprise
Welcome down to Ruby Lane
Take your pick, sir
We're all the same
The sky is my one direction
The earth is my bed
Welcome down to Ruby Lane
Save your soul, man
For life's a game
receive me as a dancing monkey
And throw me a dime
And if you see my brother
You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes
Won't you be so good, man
As to throw him some food
You come back now and share your peace
We'll still be here
'Til time's release
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
And if you see my brother
You'll know 'cause he's wearing no shoes
Won't you be so good, man
As to throw him some food
Welcome down to Ruby Lane
Take your pick, sir
We're all the same
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
I'm here with my one companion
The road beneath my feet
Hey little devil that dwells inside
this angel's body, this angel's mind
he said "all I need is Jesus to fly"
take a little peak through that head of hair
I know somewhere there are eyes in there
trying to hide a heart that's shining, so bright
they said "what makes you different, from us?"
we're gonna bang your head, down
I've got a dream that's growing inside me
I'm ready to burst and set it free
I know god waits in the city, of angels
now I've been building a wall these many years
I feel safe inside hiding all my fears
don't hold your breath
if you're trying to touch me
they said "don't believe in yourself
we're gonna band your head, down
we're gonna band your head
band your head down"
We are aging
soon to pass away
so cruel to never know, never know
never finish what was started.
My whole life's been really strange
I've been running in circles
trying to make a change
I transcend myself with Billy I'm home
No I haven't seen the flowers yet
From the broken seeds I'd planted
But the ground is still too red
From the wickedness you did
Could you break my heart?
It's so easy you know
You did it all before
You know, you did it all before
Can you feel it?
Can you fell this moment?
If you could be me
The said would be left unsaid
Just refuse my heart
Don't abuse my heart
You did it all before
You know, you did it all before
Your pocket of schemes
Has split at the seams
I don't need to argue anymore
You're left exposed
Wearing yesterday's clothes
Now you've undone the
stitches we've sewn
Just refuse my heart
Don't abuse my heart
You did it all before
You know, you did it all before
Your pocket of schemes
Has split at the seams
I don't need to argue anymore
You're left exposed
Wearing yesterday's clothes
Now you've undone the
stitches we've sewn
Im Wald nahe des
Danube Flusses,
singt eine Nachtigal,
sie singt um jeden aus der Familie zusammenzurufen
Im Wald nahe des
Danube Flusses,
vibriert ein Bass und eine Fidel kreischt,
Ich denke an einen Ort wo mein Liebling sich grad rumtollt
Im Wald nahe des Danube Flusses,
Bin ich krank von meiner Einsamkeit,
weine, ich will wie ein Vogel fliegen,
dahin wo jetzt mein Liebling ist.
The lyrics of the
song tell the story of a girl who can't get away to see her paramour;
he is far away, because of the war with the Turks of the Ottoman
Empire.
She said that the
song is a very widely known Ukrainian (not Russian) folk song
of the "lyrical" variety, dating from the 1600s, when
the Turks of the Ottoman Empire were trying to conquer the areas
of Ukraine, as well as other parts of Europe. Another type of
folk song is the historical, which reports on events.
Here's a little
general background. After the Turks took over the Crimea, they
went after Ukraine. The battles with the Turks went on for around
200 years. The Turks were quite brutal in their warmaking; they
tortured the Ukrainians, who were mainly Christians, in an attempt
to dominate them and turn the country into a Moslem stronghold.
Bird-related imagery
is common in Ukrainian lyrical folksongs from that era. It was
common for Ukraine to be referred to metaphorically as a seagull
in these lyrical folksongs, and the nightingale reference in "In
A Glade" is another example.
Other points of
note. The repetition of the first line throughout the song was
a common stylistic touch in the lyrical folksongs of that era.
Likewise, the songs usually took their titles from the line being
repeated, which brings us to the translation itself.
The Slavic languages
don't have articles in them. They have no word "the",
for example. My friend--and she asked her husband to back her
up on this even--was adamant that the word "forest"
was the lyric, not "glade". Now, a glade is *in* a forest,
and perhaps Milla knows the song as it is interpreted by people
in more modern times to specifically refer to a glade rather than
a forest, but otherwise, we are left with a situation where the
first line of the verses could be either "in forest",
"in glade", "in a forest", or "in the
glade". Is this complicated enough yet?
The other thing
of note here is the way Milla sounds while singing it. My friend's
husband put it his way, "She has a hard Russian accent while
singing in Ukrainian".
That's about it.
More than you bargained for, I'm sure. Now you know what Milla
meant when she said the song was "scary", though.
(Richard Handal)
In Ukrainian songs,
Dunai (Danube) just means a river, any river, any stream, not
specifically the Danube. (Orysia T.)
In my reckless lifelong rambling
I saw a man break one day
Such a saint, he only lived on paint
He only spoke in prose
Gave his life to save his soul
When he walked out one day
He said, "Please don't believe them
They never understand the triumph the goal of victory
Tell them flippant things and starlet rings
And eyes and nervous laughter
But never say what's on your mind."
Who's gonna take?
And who's gonna swallow?
All these empty dreams back
What of tomorrow?
Wanting more for no abilities
Is this for whom we must provide?
Curse this thing that's called achievement
Curse your striding bounds
Kill the fire in your eyes
Who's gonna take?
And who's gonna swallow?
All these empty dreams back
What of tomorrow?
You see it
But could you ever believe it?
Your fate
But could you really heed it?
Can't help it
But can you bend your back like this?
Take your damn lies and go
I shrugged this world off my shoulders
Pretty crowds who speak and clouds
Great wits of conversation
Skim this life but never live
Come as you like
Bearing smiles or screams or backdoor dreams babe
as you like
Come as you like
Smoking fools and pipes or making faces
as you like
It's been cold
Flying on a power in the breeze
Prayed so much you nearly lost your knees
The story's old
Trying to be a harmony when
someone comes crashing into me, yeah
Come as you like...you like
Come as you like
I've got curious ears and a cozy mind
So let's curl up some time
Come as you like
I'll just winnow me down
I won't close my eyes
So let your kisses fly
It's been cold
Flying on a power in the breeze
Prayed so much you nearly lost your knees
The story's old
Trying to be a harmony when
someone comes crashing into me, yeah
Come as you like, yeah
You, you
Come as you like, yeah
Your life
You...your life, your life, your life...baby
It's been cold
Flying on a power in the breeze
Prayed so much you nearly lost your knees
The story's old
Trying to be a harmony when
someone comes crashing into me, yeah
Come as you like, yeah
You, you
Come as you like, yeah
You, you
Come as you like...your life
And you'd never know, falling
How well the wind blows
But you never feel it
When you're falling
Cause when you're falling
You're not free
Will we ever share how we feel
When our dreams touch
But our dreams they don't have choices
Don't have lips and don't have voices
Don't have flowers when you're shrinking
Give you hours of their dreams
We will have to tread softly
??? big night
But she's stringing stars of moonlight
We will wrong her
With a big fight
Come be sweetly, come be mild
Put me in your pocket
I feel I've lost the story
But should've not have been
I close my eyes to try
Find what can't be seen
I smell of crazy days
Lazy haze and you
??? to you
Let's talk of what I need
Shall we?
I need you beside me
We're free tonight
When we need we're not free
We're free tonight
When we need we're not free
Mother I'd like to stay and talk for a minute
You see I'm a lady now
Somehow we're seeing eye to eye
Been searching for a key to set me free
From rowdy people, places
Flipping through old faces
So tell me where these keys go to dine
On words of wisdom with dinner and wine
Give me more of this precious time
To bring some light to this young mind
We've done the time
You and I in our venture
To get the sweetness of life
No more lies, no more objectives
Twisted partings and misconceptions
Days go by like sweet summer breeze
I don't know I...can't feel them anymore
Give me more of this precious time
To bring some light to this young mind, mind, mind
Mother I feel so tired
Let me place my head right here on...on your shoulder
Oh this world can hurt so many
Oh so many people throughout this life
Short in past
So tell me where these keys go to dine
On words of wisdom with dinner and wine
Give me more of this precious time
To bring some light to this young mind, mind, mind
She's gonna go over to him
Say that it's over with him
She knows that their love will never win
Say that it's over with him
She knows herself better than any man could
When she's under his pressure she's not feeling misunderstood
Such strange behavior
From a man who is better than good
Will he still love her
If she wants to love him different way than he wants?
She's gonna go over to him
Say that it's over with him
She knows that their love will never win
Say that it's over with him
She knows herself better than any man could
When she's under his pressue she's not feeling misunderstood
Such strange behavior
From a man who is better than good
Will he still love her
If she wants to love him different way than he wants?
She knows he loves her
She can't love him like he wants her to love him
She can't love him like he wants her to love him
to love him
to love
to love

послания к нации президента Кеннеди
If you, with you,
with you
You I light the sky with brush bright
Shake a little now
This candy tree needs a shaking
So bring all your coocoos and clouds
Be my friend,
That word friend and I were on personal terms
Will be a glimmer of friend
Like, like the sequins in my skirts
I friend you while you touch
Three days old
Still whistles in my skin
It's all so soft and lovely
With you
Hey you hey you hey you hey you
With the flying fingers and the scent that lingers
Some music
And then I thought it'd be a happy song
I guess we sang it wrong
Maybe I wrote it wrong
Be my friend,
That word friend and I were on personal terms
Will be a glimmer of friend
Like, like the sequins in my skirts
I friend you while you touch
Three days old
Still whistles in my skin
It's all so soft and lovely
With you
Christened crown now,
With an invitation with an exclamation like golden ages
All the drops on his cheek
Are frozen up
Watch his heart
Turning into rock
Walks for hours
Burning desire
Soft and deep and
Counting shades of quiet
Living in your fire, Living as fire
Test myself like a nuclear site
I'm tired of my insides
Put my filters on
I'm a flashlight,
I'm a flash of light (x6)
I fly to hit the
sky
Flying so high I look down at the sky
I look down at the sky
Feast your eyes
on my little petal
Put my firefly on the mantel
Had to pass you by without flying
How do I say goodbye to a firefly?
How do I say goodbye to a firefly?
Flashlight, I'm
a flash of light
I'm a flashlight, I'm a flash of light (x3)
I fly to hit the
sky
Flying so high I look down at the sky
I look down at the sky
I look down at the sky
Easier to look outside
All these needs
No tears spill all over
Shake away to
To stare over
I'm a flashlight,
I'm a flash of light
Oh my firefly (x4)
How do I say goodbye to a firefly? (x3)
How do I say, say, say, say, say
How do I say goodbye to a firefly?
How do I say goodbye to a a a firefly?
My aggravated rose
Is a thorn in her nose
Her scratches on my face
Where is your white horse?
Another month goes
by
I wake up as it ends
I crawl into my living space
Where is your white horse?
Where is your white
horse?
Where is your face?
All of my
All of my private places expire
All of my private
places (x2)
All of my private places expire All of my private places (x2)
All of my private places expire All of my private places (x2)
All of my private places expire
Of my, of my
All of my private places expire
Of my, of my, of my...
Oh pretty creature
From what door did you arrive?
Oh what madness will you drive me to?
Let me kiss your hand
And send you back smaller then sand
Swimming in your black mind
You often take me off inside my head
Let me take a ride
and worship
Your size
Let me take a ride and worship
Your size
Oh I'm dying
Dying myself with colors of you
Remembering our sweet pretending
Oh big lover
Fun will protect like love
Oh most beautiful as the con-creature
Meet me at the motel six
You said you'd always be my lover
Cause there is
no place like the snowman
For just another moment
There is no place like the snowman
For just another moment
It takes me years
To come down to the door
The floor is strung
With glass and promises
I have to walk for miles
In compromise
To dive into the water
To dive into the water
Your words they
go
From the hill to the sea
Sweet words shot from
My favorite gun
My bodies old from you
And your indecision
Stood at your door
With seven lives inside
You keep me here
You keep me here
You lock my doubt
in your heart
You know my doubt in my heart
My heart holds cold to seven lives
Seven demons in the night
Give me freedom by the liter
Freedom from the desert light
Your words they
go
From the hill to the sea
Sweet words shot from
My favorite gun
My bodies old from you
And your indecision
Stood at your door
With seven lives inside
You keep me here (x3)
Here...
You...ah,ah my hand, my hand, my heart
Ah… my hand, my hand, my heart
Ah...my hand, my hand
My hand, my hand, my heart
My heart holds
cold to seven lives (x3)
(alternate ending)
Ah...my heart,
my heart
My my my my my my my heart
My...my hand, my hand, my heart
My, my hand, my hand, my heart
My heart holds cold to seven lives
My heart holds cold to seven lives
My...heart, my, my...
All the clouds roll on
Roll on before you
Who can say anything
When the sun shines, it shines
I turn my face towards your face
Alone facing the sun
Facing the sun
Then the wind will follow
Blowing away trace of tomorrow
On the hill grows
A single silver rose
On the hill grows
Everything I'd ever longed for
Find myself walking
on
So far...so far
Look behind the wind's fire
My sun still shinning away
How many times did I look behind?
Stare at my sun to light
Blind to die
No the sparks came
and went like sparks do
Time and fire never tried to help them stay
But my sun burns my own lies and dries them
La, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la
La, la, la, la, la, la
Everyday the boat drives me away
Everyday it drives me away
Watch the sun set and rise
The sunrise
Overland becomes smaller and smaller
Don't wait there
when I'll go
I closed the door but I did not lock it
I tried to get lost
But my feet getting close to the water wall
It's fast and thicker
Everyday the boat
drives me away
Everyday it drives me away
Watch the sun set and rise
The sunrise
Overland becomes smaller and smaller
Run from the shore
Run follow
Sea turns to stone, sky turns to gray
What now a thousand miss sky promises
Make me forget and let me forget
Everyday the boat
drives me away
Oh everyday it drives me away
I searched the books and I searched your body
Another horizon searches for me
rocket collecting
dust
hidden from all memory
bathed in outrage and rust
waiting for you and me
to own it
watch you as you douse the ceiling
light up all the evil dreams
till they ignite screaming into the night
and we run away clean
chorus:
i wish i was half electronic
the last shreds of skin are in the sweet sunlight
and i've turned into this smiling, snarling monster
as i watch the walls descend
as i watch the walls descend like stars
half submersed
i reach your island at night
washed up tangled on these stones
a gorgeous wreck crashing
to lay here for the next 600 years
the storm will play out there for miles on every side
so tell me who's got the dominoes
but you'll have to leave your lightning outside

who r u
what r u on?
i don't know if i really wanna know cause
you're gonna sweep me out
i wanna cut it away
i wanna lose my body
i send you my thoughts
we bleed into entropy
you're gonna spread me out
chorus:
what collides?
what r we?
do we die?
wake old and weak and slow
and wonder
did i have control?
give me a little
light before i close my eyes
and i'll see you down there
when i open them the next time
to see you i gotta shift my focus
i can feel my body breathe
but it's not air
cause air's a dream
we're always changing thru our mind
you'll still know me by my smile
-chorus-
i lose my heart
in wind and water
but lost is just what can't be seen
besides what is and what things were
there's worlds of what was in between
worlds folded more than 4

timing ain't holding
up
but my world is blowin up
you make me feel so fine
now you're surprised that i ain't ordinary
-i feel me breathing
in your sleep
can you feel it?-
grazing your lips
with my fingertips
we wake up a few times
to speak of dreams that make it hard to sleep
-are you dying
in your dreams
i know sometimes i can feel it
turn into to stone by the light of morning
disappear without meaning
are you taking up time
that thoughts pressing thru my mind
oh baby, i'm fine
can you believe it?

another crystal
grin
to make up for the dark skies
put on my best dress so the mess
won't touch my little insides
did you think i'd still be greener
than the weed inside your glass pipe?
greener than the vomit on your shirt
dreaming of a lady
strangling a flower
a pretend park with pretend children
in your pretend sight
my love was waiting open armed and close hearted
still out there with his setting sun
-and if i could
just
fall too soon
i still wouldn't get there quick enough
waiting,waiting...
there still wouldn't be no one waiting around
but i'll get myself there anyhow-
i cup the silence
so your whisper can be seen
just me and kim marie
were braiding eyes and thoughts and memories
can't put my finger on the way you taste
or what's your face
or... what was that you told me with a sigh?
-chorus-
why put that dream in your scream?
why tell me to fuck off?
put the past in the sugar bowl
make it all a little creamier...

throw myself from the window
throw myself from an aerial view
of the highest
a holy fall
it was a holy fall...
-Holy fall
it was a holy fall that brought me here
holy fall
it was a holy fall that brought me-
wrinkled old doll
face
on her way to the ball
i've got only myself
to thank for it all
i can picture you almost brushin up against me
ican picture you almost touchin me
and it's not dark at all
it's not dark at all in here

we're released
like fireworks
streaking out in great bright lines
diving up
into the sky
reach out and crush us night
recieve us
recieve us with honor
-breathe out here
we're released like fireworks-
weeks go by unseen
they're feeding ghosts in the twilight
and you with your terrible sweet ways
and winding roads
drop me headfirst into the trees
and see if i can't fall any higher
i hold a blade
of one blade of grass
to your heart
-chorus-
i'll take off from the surface of the water
diving up
you're at the edge of my vision
a crazy missile
glittering and silent
and it feels good rising up
and it feels like it's never gonna stop
i get fired
i just breathe out
i've been fired
