Mando Diao : Mean Street EP
Lyrics
1. MEAN STREET
Let me take you for a ride
Far away from the upper side
We're going down to the mean street
Johnny's got a brand new 38
He thinks it's gonna cure his hate
Ah it's all done in the mean street
It's the state of grace
And It's all done in the mean street
[Chorus]
Take my hand and close your pretty eyes
Cus it's gonna hurt so much when summer hits the
New York sky
Oh no, it's all done in the mean street
God I love this stormy cloud
Where all nasty girls they like it loud
It's all good in the mean streets
Diane had her grand debut here
Michael couldn't even tell if it was
Pleasure or fear
It's all done in the mean street
And It's my little state of grace
It goes down in the mean street
[Chorus]
The heights, the sights, the green, the
Scarred
The easy way of doing everything hard,
The fashion
Oh I hate that street with... Passion
[Chorus]
It's all done in the mean street
It's all done in the mean street
2. GIVE ME FIRE
Jimmy you never feared the life ahead
You never lived the life I gave you when I hold you
Daddy said you're gonna get it
You're gonna burn before the dawn
Your blood is poisoning your people, your own people
Your addiction in the one, the sweetest one, the precious one
[Chorus]
Oh that freedom so give me give me fire
It doesn't always have to end
Oh Jimmy, Jimmy fire my love's with you til the end
My love's with you til the end
Coma your my brightest shining star
You're my darkness in the morning, winter morning
crystal fly over the ceiling
Bugs my dreaming in the night
The man above decides my future where I'm destined
My addiction in the one, the sweetest one, my precious one
[Chorus]
Mama why did you comfort him at night?
Did we forget that he was pure?
How I miss him, my love's with him til the end, the sweetest end, my precious end
[Chorus]
My love's with you til the end
My love's with you
3. BLUE LINING WHITE TRENCHCOAT
I've got my armageddon boots,
Brown shades and brand new leather suit
Blue lining, blue lining, blue lining
White trenchcoat
I sew my own intelligence
I wear it down til' the bitter end
Blue lining, blue lining blue lining
White trenchcoat
Oh I'm going down with the sun (2x)
I'm gining down, down, down, ...
With the falling sun
I'm rapid like a heart attack
You see it's soul in the shades of black
Blue lining, blue lining blue lining
White trenchcoat
I'm burning, like a combat zone,
So sharp my senses's cutting stone
Blue lining, blue lining blue lining
White trenchcoat
Oh I'm going down with the sun (2x)
I'm going down, down, down, ... (yeah)
With the falling sun
I lost my love in a hurricane
I've got no choice but to go insane
Blue lining, blue lining blue lining
White trenchcoat
I've got my armageddon boots,
Brown shades and brand new leather suit
Blue lining, blue lining, blue lining
White trenchcoat
I don't think I can wait any longer
I will slowly die of hunger
I want it so bad that it hurts just to
Admit my desire
And I'm going with the sun (2x)
I'm goining down, down, down ... With
The falling sun
4. URNING UP
I don’t remember your name
But I recall your smell
I don’t remember your face
But I still feel your skin
That moonshine
That starlight fall
The tender lips of yours
My body’s gentle thrill
From that sleeping pill
Don’t need chemicals
When you are made of stars
I don’t remember your name
And I’m just burning up
If I can’t have you around me
Lord I’m burning up
All the things won’t leave me
Wanting more
My burning up
When I live of those who kill
My burning up
And I’m always wanting more
Oh I’m burning up
Lord I’m burning up
Burning up
Just wanna know where you’re from
And why you’re sent to me
I just wanna know where you’re going
And why we’re bound to be
That turns that right
On the clear moonlight
Where all dreams came to life
My body’s gentle thrill
From that sleeping pill
Don’t need chemicals
When I am made of stars
I don’t remember your name
But I’m just burning up
If I can’t have you around me
Lord I’m burning up
All the things won’t leave me
Wanting more
My burning up
When I live of those who kill
My burning up
And I’m always wanting more
Oh I’m burning up
Lord I’m burning up
Yeah I’m burning up
I don’t remember your clothes
But I can taste your blood
I don’t remember your blow
But I just know you’re gone
But like the ocean lights
under Casablanca skies
We will find a home
And of all the chosen ones
We will get out
Before the morning comes
We have no other choice
But to caving for our love
Now I remember your name
And I’m just burning up
If I can’t have you around me
Lord I’m burning up
All the things won’t leave me
Wanting more
My burning up
When I live of those who kill
My burning up
And I’m always wanting more
Oh I’m burning up
Lord I’m burning up
Burning up
