Marillion - The last straw

Tekst :

Hotel hobbies padding dawns hollow corridors
a typewriter cackles out a stream of memories
Drying out a conscience, evicting a nightmare
Opening the doors for the dreams to come home
We live out lives in private shells
Ignore our senses and fool ourselves
to thinking that out there there s someone else cares
someone to answer all our prayers, our prayers...
Are we too far gone, are we so irresponsible
Have we lost our balls, or do we just not care
We re terminal cases that keep talking medicine
Pretending the end isn t quite that near
We make futile gestures, act to the cameras
With our made up faces and PR smiles
and when the angel comes down, down to deliver us
we ll find out that after all, we re only men of straw
But everything is still the same
passing the time passing the blame
we carry on in the same old way
we ll find out we left it too late one day
to say what we meant to say
Just when you thought it was safe to go back to the water,
those problems seem to arise the ones you never really thought of
the feeling you get is similar to something like drowning
out of your mind, you re out of your depth, you should have taken soundings
Clutching at straws, we re clutching at straws, we re clutching at straws
And if you ever come across us don t give us your sympathy
You can buy us a drink and just shake our hands
and you ll recognise by the reflection in our eyes
that deep down inside we re all one and the same
We re clutching at straws - we re still drowning
Clutching at straws - we re still drowning, yeah
Clutching at straws - I m still drowning

    Lost Like Tears In The Rain

    I m not from around here
    I ll hold onto you but
    I cant hold on to this day it s all gone
    Waiting always untouched open
    It came down to save us and end us all
    Cause I m under the outside
    And over all

    from selfish battles i lose
    so smother me in this thick smoke

    this is the end

    Ihre Mutter gab ihr ihren Namen an einem Schlecht-Wetter-Tag
    24 Stunden voller Schmerz, dann gab sie sie weg

    In ein Leben voller Verwirrung und Trauer

    Liar in the glass

    Dance with me below crystal knives
    Chandeliers ablaze
    We ll dance in fear of our own lives
    that our eyes contain
    Behind these masks we renegade against the sound
    We ll let our voices slowly fade and ring out

    Crystal chandeliers hang
    Crystal chandeliers hang
    Gently swaying with our bodies, fall down
    Race upon us, hammer into the ground
    Crystal...
