Sam Phillips Şarkı Sözleri

[h=1]Sam Phillips - Out Of Time[/h]
 
Tonight I'll leave you there where I found you
Starting up the hill & an echo standing still
Love has turned on us like the wild
Listen to the scream & of our desperate dream
Did we say forever and what ever did we mean

Now my friend we're out of time
Someone take me out of time


I dreamed of eyes like his open windows
Secrets looking through & dark sky burning blue
But I kept them to myself & quiet pieces
To the urgent voice & violent with choice

Tonight I'll leave you there where I found you
Starting up the hill & an echo standing still
Our shadows cry for us as the dust moves
Time won't tell us why we let love go by
 
[h=1]Sam Phillips - Plastic İs Forever[/h]
 
my t.v. doesn't listen when I give it pieces of my mind
it keeps making everything the same size
pain is pleasure when it's televised

plastic is forever

artificial florists
sell you flowers that will never die

they cut down the real forests
for paper petals engraved with borrowed lies
 
[h=1]Sam Phillips - Power World[/h]
 
look at how they've washed your brain
down the info t.v. drain
you're back before you ever came
to find out what you need

you try too hard, you try too soft
you're afraid of getting lost
as impostor number one

you left your record out in the sun
all the signs of life aren't clear and straight and always right

our ideas of perfect are so imperfect

love doesn't pay attention to
the metal teeth of ugly rules
he was everybody's fool
for squandering his love on her

Thomas when you told the truth
they electrocuted you
I'll pick up my zero and follow through
the perfect power world
 
[h=1]Sam Phillips - Private Storm[/h]
 
we lock the hurricane indoors
looking for shelter, we deny and ignore
afraid that our words bring clouds we talk in code
the thunder or cruel perfection covers love
and we're cold

the private storm
and our souls are worn from the tears

the private storm
and it rages on through the years

no warning the ground pulls out from underneath
we tiptoe through air until we see the blood on their teeth

time doesn't heal, the scars turn into wounds
as we walk lightly silent screams in the storm
 
[h=1]Sam Phillips - Raised On Promises[/h]
 
building cage i can only study the blame
i can think of a word for myself but no name
question darts throw me to the dogs of progress
but they run from what really matters

raised on promises

to the furnace for shade to the dust for a drink

logic's mad and shame doesn't care what you think
the ocean's dry it's only a phantom that you fathom
but the flood comes from the desert

raised on promises

land of the known
free of the brave
they sell us ourselves
the center has moved and water bleeds from broken faces

raised on promises
 
[h=1]Sam Phillips - Remorse[/h]
 
Pulling the trigger
a shot would fire then he'd wake
To red lips above him smeared
with scorn and stale restraint
She covered him with pity
like a snake about to strike
And then pronounced him hopeless
When he wouldn't do as she would like


He's so sorry he can't feel remorse
He tries to keep the helpless ship on course
The blameless sky pales as a storm comes
Taking it by force
He's so sorry

Flashes of justice
after all she'd done for him
For the first time she was quiet
As he touched her moon pale skin
They found him hours later
He was talking to the gun
Saying Father please forgive her
She has killed her only son
 
[h=1]Sam Phillips - Same Changes[/h]
 
the camera angles and the name campaigns
the stare cuts and the latest extremes
the way we sell ourselves they way we spend our greed
how long it takes to hear our dreams

circle of change the world around you
the same changes
hold on to the voice inside you

the same changes

the borders and the flags how far our guns can shoot
fascist slogans and the movie of the week
popular opinion cars that drive you mad
what they pay assassins and a lucky streak

circle of change the world around you
the same changes
hold on to the voice inside you
the same changes
(hold on to your voice)
(hold on to your voice)

how much time is wasted how much time is left
what to censor and what to read
how hot the sun burns what does love require
how we run from the things we need

circle of change the world around you
the same changes
hold on to the voice inside you
the same changes

circle of change the world around you
the same changes
hold on to the voice inside you
the same changes
 
[h=1]Sam Phillips - Same Rain[/h]
 
i went to the sun it was too hot
i went to the moon it was too cold
went to the mountain it was too young
went to the ocean it was too old

is it the same rain that falls on a holy man
is it the same rain that falls on a liar's hand
is it the same rain that falls on me


i knew a man a refugee survival was his art
all that he held valuable he carried in his heart

is it the same rain that falls on the mountain's face
is it the same rain that falls on the prison gate
is it the same rain that falls on me

all the money in the world all the power it can buy
will not take your voice away
cannot own what you hold inside

is it the same rain that falls on a poor man's room
is it the same rain that falls on a rich man's tomb
is it the same rain that falls on me

is it the same rain that falls on the raging see
is it the same rain that falls on the hanging tree
is it the same rain that falls on me
 
[h=1]Sam Phillips - She Can't Tell Time[/h]
 
She can't tell time it's not listening to her
When faith went blind I could see light
through her
Her vigils in the street left
my youth incomplete
Left meaning obsolete

Sleep I can't sleep & she can speak

But she can't tell time
Dream I can't dream & she can scream
But she can't tell time

She can't tell time she didn't get
what she deserved
When faith went blind she found the truth
but lost her nerve
When she won't act her age
the cat circles round the cage
Youth shrinks to tired rage
 
[h=1]Sam Phillips - Signposts[/h]
 
i *** myself so tightly wound i couldn't breathe
i could feel the fire burning underneath

i wanted to get lost and love the questions there
beauty and the truth i could breathe like air
then i finally found the signposts in a strange land

logic dances you from here to there not very far

making sense can't tell where you are
