Tindersticks - Şarkı Sözleri

Hi there!
I first want to tell you that I love the site you made. Very to the point, neat and suscint, which I guess is the best you can make of a website for nothing but lyrics.
Anyway, in Travelling Light, I'm pretty sure she says "hair" instead of "head".

So here it goes, fully corrected:

There are places I don't remember
There are times and days, they mean nothing to me
I've been looking through some of them old pictures
They don't serve to jog my memory

I'm not waking in the morning, staring at the walls these days
I'm not getting out the boxes, spread all over the floor
I've been looking through some of them old pictures
Those faces they mean nothing to me no more

Chorus:
I travel light
You travel light
Everything I've done
You say you can justify, mmm you travel light
 
I can't pick them out, I can't put them in these sad old bags
Some things you have to lose along the way
Times are hard, I'll only pick them out, wish I was going back
Times are good, you'll be glad you ran away

(Chorus)

Do you remember, how much you loved me?
You say you have no room in that thick old hair
Well it comes with the hurt and the guilt, and the memories
If I had to take them with me I would never get from my bed
There's a crack in the roof where the rain pours through
That's the place you always decide to sit
Yeah I know I'm there for hours, the water running down (my) (your)face
Do you really think you keep it all that well hid?

No but I travel light
You don't travel light
Everything I've done
It's just a lie, you don't travel light

I'm travelling light
No you don't travel light
I'm travelling light
No, no, you don't travel light
I'm travelling light
You don't travel light
 
Tindersticks - Trying To Find A Home
 
Still trying to find a reason
Still trying to find a home
Just some place to spread my things in
A place from where I can run

Came from so far so silent
You saw the stars above
Your smiling faces cheer up (?)
Take what we never had

Chorus

The lowered sun
Brings another memory
I held in my head
So I can see
Every colour you were wearing
 
Every colour in your eyes

Came from far so silent
You saw the stars above
Your smiling faces cheer up (?)
Take what we never had

And I hear you whisper
'Where are you?'
And I see my hand
Upon your skin
I can feel me searching for you
Still trying to find a home

And there'll come a time
When everything's so tough (?)
Everything's apart
Trying to find a home
We're so near (?)
We're so apart
 
Tindersticks - Tyed
 
The sheep that was cut
Cut for blood
Was opened
The sheep that was cut
Cut for blood
Was opened and dried
Sheep that was cut and cut for blood
Was opened and dried
And stretched out
Sheep that was cut and cut for blood
Was opened, dried and stretched out
 
Hung on the wall
The sheep that was cut
Cut for blood
Was opened
The sheep that was cut
Cut for blood
Was opened and dried
Sheep that was cut and cut for blood
Was opened and dried
And stretched out
Sheep that was cut and cut for blood
Was opened, dried and stretched out
Hung on the wall
 
Tindersticks - Until The Morning Comes
 
My hands 'round your throat
If I kill you now, well, they will never know
Wake me up if I'm sleeping
By the look in your eyes I know the time's nearly come
Wake me up 'cause I'm dreaming
Well, they'll never believe what's been happening here
But caught in my mind there's a way to get out

Wake me up 'cause I'm dreaming
Well they'll never believe it
So hush now, my babe, please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Hush now, darling, I can hear you're screaming
Let me hold you until the morning comes

So tell me this is what you want
You can whisper it soft or you can scream it out loud
 
'Cause there's still time to change your mind
But do it now before tomorrow comes

Wake me up 'cause I'm dreaming
Well, they'll never believe it
So hush now, my babe, please don't cry
Everything's gonna be alright
Hush now, darling, I can hear you're screaming
Let me hold you until the morning comes

Until the morning comes

The light is fading
But the stars are dancing bright
My mind is racing like clouds across the sky
How did you make me go... this far?
 
Tindersticks - Untitled
 
Nothing came under
The rays remained in the sun that day
And life isn't full of surprises
You think you could steal in
Pop over the wall in the middle of the night
Climb out of those heavy boots and clothes
And into that cool blue
You're not even dipping your toe
I find this bed too big now
It's like those people you see on the way to work
Stuck in an endless queue of traffic
Each one in their own individual car
Half of them coming from the same place
Going to the same place
Going nowhere
They could quarter the amount of cars by sharing a lift
Go on the bus, wipe out all the cars
I should rid myself of this bed, get myself a cardboard box
No waste of space
No force of empty wasted space for your body to create its dent in
I miss your back
You're back, how are you?
What are you up to? Getting on okay?
Fuck off

Eighteen months ago they moved in here
 
The scrap metal dealer to one side
And divorced violinist to the other
Each morning we'd wake to the same chorus
Of cookers and fridges being dragged on their sides across the concrete
Accompanied by Ravel's Bolero
At first this was the best sound we'd ever heard

Hammer a six inch nail into my right ear
Shove a red hot poker up my nose
Make me walk on hot coals and broken glass
Gouge out my eyes with a cocktail stick
Rip my fingernails off
The pain would be so much ea***r than doing nothing to me at all

It was that dream again, when I was on the table
There was bright lights, and Laurence Olivier out of 'The Marathon Man' staring down at me
As they unbuttoned my coat and unravelled my sweater
And the shirt and the vest peeled
And said "Did something die in here?"

So, whose bed you been sleeping in then?
Some poncey arsehole I'll bet
I can see you there
And it fucking hurts
God, I want to buy you bagels and cream cheese for breakfast
Run down the corner shop without my undies or socks on
Make some fresh coffee, hop back into your warm bed
And have those chats I miss so much
Another coffee? Cigarette?
Fancy going to the pub later
God, it's good to see you
You always cheer me up
 
Tindersticks - Waiting For The Moon
 
We know this place... where we are... doesn't matter
We know this place, we've been here before

The stars are out waiting for the moon
The stars are out waiting for us

Pull the blanket now, creep down the stairs
 
Don't wake the little ones, the lazy cats, the mice are in their homes

The stars are out waiting for the moon
The stars are out waiting for us

Ease this raging mind, this raging love
Sometimes it feels like a knife, but not tonight
Sometimes it turns like a knife in me, not tonight

The stars are out waiting for the moon
The stars are out waiting for us
 
Tindersticks - Walking
 
Wake up, it's all right
You don't have the words, it's okay
I make it worse, if I make it better
I can chase it away
And the emotion running and flapping
Faster and faster, breathing hard
Just for a moment, we're on a breeze
Hold on, hold on tight
You've gone strayed again
 
Wake up, it's all right
I don't need to know where you've been
Went for a walk, out of my sight

You went astray again

Wake up, it's all right
You don't have the words, that's okay
I make it worse, but I can make it better
Can chase it away
