Simple Minds : Graffiti Soul (Deluxe Edition)

Les paroles

1. MOSCOW UNDERGROUND

Descended from a world of darkened places
Descended from a world that's lost control
Suspended between time and fractured places
I'm waiting for the fall here on my own

Please take me down where the rain drops
Please take me down, down below
Please hold me here where the dreams stop
Please leave me here on my own, yeah

It was fate that took me down into this place
I wanna cross the borders of control
Take me to the shrine that's in your basement
And hold me in that place I'll lose it all

Please take me down where the rain drops
Please take me down so far below
Come take me down to where my dream stops
I don't know where else I can go

Please take me down to where the rain drops
Please lay me down, down below
Please leave me here where the dream stops
Because I don't know where else I can go


2. ROCKETS

Your love’s like faith
Your love’s spite in your eyes
From those battle days there’s still one way
Abandoned now, no matter what you say
Just one truth, moving up to decide
That’s your battle move, no one’s here
Some phantoms realized, that’s your only fear

You’re sending me rockets, fool’s circle again
More than I realized
You’re sending me rockets, fool’s circle again
Still sending me rockets

I could still cut trough, a war machine with its missiles set on you
I still want you, misty eyes clear
To find another view but still you’re sending me rockets
And I surrender again
No more will I feel this time

You’re sending me rockets
Fool’s circle again
Still sending me rockets, fool’s circle again

Home sweet home
No idea of divides or where the peace has gone
No words to blame
Surrender leaves me in the dark again

You’re sending me rockets, fool’s circle again
No matter how I plead this time
You’re sending me rockets, fool’s circle again
More than I realized
You’re sending me rockets, you’re sending me rockets
Keep sending me rockets, still sending me rockets
Fool’s circle again


3. STARS WILL LEAD THE WAY

I'm the one who broke apart, I'm the one that's free
I'm the one who fell apart, yeah I'm the one, that's me
I'm the one who fell away, the one who didn't care
There is a long trail stretching now from here to there

Stars will lead the way, stars will light the sky
Stars will fall through now for you and I

From the darkest days to the darkest side
There is a long trail stretching here to you and I
I'm the one who lost the sense, the one who couldn't see
I'm the one who lost the chance within this odyssey
I'm the one who failed to feel the blackout of the sun
There's an old tale telling me it's just begun

Stars will lead the way, stars will light the sky
Stars will fall here now for you and I

From the darkest days to the darkest side
There is a long trail stretching here to you and I
Stars will lead the way, stars will light the sky
And I'm wandering in a trance, taken over me
Wandering in a world but I can't see
Wandering in a trance, taken over me
Taken over me, taken over me
I'm the one who broke apart, yeah I'm the one that's free
I'm the one who broke apart, the one that couldn't see

Stars will lead the way, stars will light the sky
Stars will fall here for you and I
From the darkest days to the darkest side
Stars will fall, fall, fall, fall for you and I
Stars will lead the way, stars will light the skies
Stars will fall, fall, fall, fall for you and I
Stars will lead the way, stars will light the skies


4. LIGHT TRAVELS

Light travels through the universe.
It arrives.
It remains.
Things get better after things get worse.
I feel the same.
Nothing’s changed.
Nothing’s changed.

Words unravel out of all of us.
They arise.
They refrain.
Things get better after things get worse.
I feel the same.
Nothing's changed.

But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, is anybody home?
But there’s no need to worry,
Hello, hello, see them come,
See them go,
See them go!

Light travels through the universe.
It arrives.
It remains.
Things get better after things get worse.
I feel the same.
Nothing’s changed.

But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, is anybody home?
But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, see them come, see them go.
But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, is anybody home?
But there’s no need to worry.
Hello, hello, oh!

Hello, hello.
Hello, hello.
Hello, hello, oh!

Hello, hello.
Hello, hello.
Hello, hello, oh!

Light travels through the universe


5. KISS AND FLY

Was my imagination, or they told me it was there?
But I could see.
Within that situation everything’s a cross to bear.
I feel.

Some are in a coma,
Some are without sight.
You can feel the transformation in their bodies in the night.
Gone translucent, encircled in light

So bring back the lover’s chains.
No letters need reply.
Move over what remains.
Let us go kiss and fly.

Was only one solution that was in my head,
That I could see.
Spiritual confusion so more than I could stand,
I could feel.

Like someone in a coma,
Someone without sight.
Feel it in my body, feel it every night.
Gone translucent, encircled in light.

So bring back the lovers chains.
No need letters need reply.
Move over what remains.
And let us go kiss and fly.

Bring back the lovers arms,
Oh let me go deep inside.
Cool over all remains,
And let us go kiss and fly.

Kiss and fly,
kiss and fly.

I don’t think there’s much to tell you.
I don’t think there’s much to say.
I don’t think there’s much to tell you.
I know that you know so much more


6. GRAFFITI SOUL

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening

Footsteps walking in again
Name checks begin again
Stand here, let's soak it in again
The white lines and the inner pain

When I'm sorting out the wars
And breaking out the holes
That lead to me to the scars
Written on the wall
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening

Footsteps walking in again
The white lines stenciled in again
And when I'm sorting out the wars
And breaking out the holes
That lead me to the scars
They've written on the wall
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

And when I am rushing in my head
Cruising in control
Admiring the spread
Beyond the neon sprawl
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening

And when I'm sorting out the wars
And breaking out the holes
That lead me to the scars
Written on the wall
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

When I am rushing in my head
Cruising in control
Admiring the spread
Beyond the neon sprawl
There's nothing I'd change
In my graffiti soul

You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening
You bring me lightening


7. BLOOD TYPE O

To the left and to the right
I can't believe that we would fight
It's all so mediocre anyway
Take me down unto your road
Where I could filter through the code
There is no other way that's better paid

You do it so well
Blood type O, it's all so long ago
You do it so well
You're blood type O, it's all imaginary
But you do it so well

You build it up and you burn it down
You take the smile and make it frown
I don't know why you ever won't look back
If it was ever up to me
I'd steal the crown and you would see
I'd take the fight that's here in front of you

You do it so well
Blood type O, it's all so long ago
You do it so well
Blood type O, it's all imaginary

But you do it so well
You're blood type O
You do it so well
It's all so long ago
It's all imaginary
Blood type O


8. THIS IS IT

When the feelings come to me once again
I still hear the words they're saying
And when I'm wondering if I can step in
I'll take comfort in the sounds that's playing

'Cause when I am feeling fine don't wanna walk away
Don't wanna lose myself, no matter what I say
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

And when the feelings rise pulling me off my knees
I won't be scared of it 'cause I can't believe
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

And when I'm pleading but I can't get in
No one's listening to a word I am saying
There is no reason why we can't begin
Broken hearts are congregating

'Cause when the feeling's fine and the world steps in
I'll organize myself, I'll get my mind moving
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

And when I'm running scared and I can't resist
I'll organize myself with all the chances missed
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

And when I'm running scared and I can't resist
I'll organize myself for all the chances missed
There is a game in town, this is it
They call it the new change

This is it, this is it, this is it
They call it the new change
This is it, this is it, this is it
They call it the new change
This is it, this is it, this is it
They call it the new change


9. SHADOWS AND LIGHT

(Instrumental)


10. ROCKIN IN A FREE WORLD

There's colors on the street, red, white and blue
People shuffling their feet, people sleeping in their shoes
There's a warning sign on the road ahead
There's a lot of people saying we'd be better off dead
Don't feel like Satan but I am with them
So I try to forget it any way I can

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

I see a woman in the night with a baby in her hand
There's an old street light, near a garbage can
Now she put the kid away and she's gone to get a hit
She hates her life and what she's done to it
There's one more kid that will never go to school
Never get to fall in love, never get to be cool

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world

We've got a thousand points in light for the homeless man
We've got a kinder, gentler machine gun hand
We got department stores and toilet paper
Got Styrofoam boxes for the ozone layer
Got a man of the people, says, keep them alive
Got fuel to burn, got roads to drive

Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
Keep on rockin' in the free world
