Destroyer lyrics - David Gray
More panic than intent
More luck than good judgment
They're raising your body from the ground
The dreamer has woken
The spirit has spoken
They're raising your body from the ground
What you gonna do when the rain comes through
On your pretty head
Is it so easy to pretend?
Like visions of Goya
The silent destroyer
They're raising your body from the ground
From the ground
What you gonna do when it all comes through
On your weary head
Is it so easy to pretend?
You want it
You need it
Break your back, now feed it
They're raising your body from the ground
Oh yeah
They're raising your body from the ground
From the ground
They're raising your body from the ground
Yeah
From the ground
Hole In The Weather lyrics - David Gray
Crawling out through a hole in the weather
That I might go and see
We came out from it light as a feather
Not in my wildest dreams
Not in my wildest dreams
Possibility loomed like a city
Repeated every phrase
Found it in every cell of my body
The senses [?] in me
The senses [?] in me
The senses [?] in me
Ride the punches, a slave to the rhythm
Brace for the full impact
Someone else starin' back from the mirror
Checks that it's still intact
Checks that it's still intact
Checks that it's still intact
It's always been there
I forgot to notice it, is all
Forgot to notice
How much I love this place
I really love this place
How much I love this place
Yeah, I really love this place
Dear God, I love this place
I forgot to notice it, is all
I really love this place
I forgot to notice it, is all
How much I love this place
I forgot to notice it, is all
I really love this place
Forgot to notice
Such a cynic, and loathe to admit it
[?] to your shell
See the hawk in the teeth of the gale
Mark out his eye-hole still
See how he's had his [?]
[?] higher still
Place To Be lyrics - David Gray
When I was young, younger than before
I never saw the truth hanging from the door
Now I'm older, see it face to face
Yeah, now I'm older, gotta get up, clean the place
And I was green, greener than the hill
Where flowers grew and the sun shone still
(Now I'm darker) Now I'm darker than the deepest sea
(Just hand me down) Just hand me down, give me a place to be
And I was strong, strong in the sun
I thought I'd see when day was done
(Now I'm weaker) Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
(Oh, so weak) Oh, so weak in this need for you
(Now I'm weaker) Now I'm weaker than the palest blue
(Oh, so weak) Oh, so weak in this need for you
Seems So Long Ago, Nancy lyrics - David Gray
(originally by Leonard Cohen)
It seems so long ago
Nancy was alone
Looking ate the Late Late show
Through a semi-precious stone
In the House of Honesty
Her father was on trial
In the House of Mystery
There was no one at all
There was no one at all
It seems so long ago
None of us were strong
Nancy wore green stockings
And she slept with everyone
She never said she'd wait for us
Although she was alone
I think she fell in love for us
In nineteen sixty one
In nineteen sixty one
It seems so long ago
Nancy was alone
A forty five beside her head
An open telephone
We told her she was beautiful
We told her she was free
But none of us would meet her in
The House of Mystery
The House of Mystery
And now you look around you
See her everywhere
Many use her body
Many comb her hair
In the hollow of the night
When you are cold and numb
You hear her talking freely then
She's happy that you've come
So happy that you've come
Smoke Without Fire lyrics - David Gray
Perfect pictures tore in two
Pick your moments, surely do
And what the hell got into you
Anyway
Road like silver, sky like silk
Drink it down like mother's milk
You drink that cup until it melts
Away
(Step to the mark)
Yeah, that my journey might begin
(Open the door)
Into the dark and walk right in
And he wouldn't leave
No, he wouldn't leave
Yeah
(I put on the mask)
Yeah, that my journey might begin
(Next thing I knew)
Caught in a war I couldn't win
(I reached out for you)
Open the door, then rush right in
And they wouldn't leave
No, they wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
Yeah, they wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
They wouldn't leave
And what the hell got into you
Anyway
Tell Me More Lies lyrics - David Gray
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
On the blue television
And the idiots kissin'
And making excuses
For all that fails
Break it down now, break it down, break it
The wind like a dagger
It's tearing my sails
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
From my father and mother
Had a room in a tower
Breathe in the hours like chloroform
And there's something within me
I wanna express it
But how do you paint it
When it's got no form
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned what to say
So make me feel better
Tell me more lies
Carry me further away
Now the women are speaking
Of loves that have perished
Of memories cherished
And the fools men are
How many times
How many times
How many
If only, if only
La la la
I'm young but already
There's doubt in my eyes
And I never learned how to pray
So make me feel better
And tell me more lies
And tell me more lies
And tell me more lies
Tell me more
The Arc lyrics - David Gray
The arc of sound
It's the prism of the human heart
Unspoiled, they're yearning
My feet are on that circular path
And I'm returning
Yeah, I'm returning, I'm back to the place
I've never been
Eyes like two headlights in the fog
The slate wiped clean
Like a beast, it sounds
Through the chasm of the beaten heart
And now I'm burning
Like greenwood upon the fire
In my returning
Heading out upon this coast of a road
Beyond the reach of desire
Desire, desire
Desire, desire
Desire, desire
Birth pains of the new moon
I hope this spell don't break too soon
Last bones are the old new
Well I hope that I don't wake too soon
Dreams scrolling back through the years
Laid out like rings on a tree
Feed a feeling for the path
The circle turning me
Returning me back to the place
I'll never be
The arc of sound
It's the prism of the human heart
Year-round, it splits
And I see you standing there inside of its
Dark, bright rainbow
Yeah, you're standing there inside of its
Dark, bright rainbow
Dark, bright rainbow
Dark, bright rainbow
Feed a feeling for the path
The slate wiped clean
One moment wintery and gray
Next moment bountiful and green
One moment wintery and gray
Next moment bountiful and green
One moment wintery and gray
Next moment bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
Wintery and gray
Bountiful and green
