INGENUE - THOM YORKE

You know like the back of your hand


who let 'em in, you got me into this mess so
you get me out, you know like the back of your hand
your bell jar, your collection
ingenue, you got me into this mess
fools rushing in ... yeah and they know it

the seeds of the dandelion you blow away


in good time, I hope, I pray
if I'm not there now, physically
I'm always before you come what may

And you know it


fools rushing in, yeah, well you know it
gone with a touch of your hand
gone with a touch of your hand

move through the moment though it betrays


transformations, jackals and flames
if I knew now what I knew then
just give me more time, I hope and pray

I mistake all you say


the seeds of the dandelion you blow away
DANCING ON MY OWN

Somebody said you got a new friend --


Does he love you better than I can So far away, but still so near , The lights go on, the
There's a big black sky over my town music dies , / But you don't see me, standing here /

But I just got to see it - for myself
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss him, uh oh
I'm in the corner, watching you kiss him, uh oh I'm givin' it my all, but I'm not the guy you're takin'

I'm just gonna dance - all night I'm givin' it my all, but I'm not the guy you're takin'
I'm all messed up I'm so out of line , yeahh home
Stilettos and broken bottles I keep dancin' on my own

ANOTHER LOVE

I wanna take you somewhere so you know I care


But it's so cold and I don't know where
I brought you daffodils in a pretty string
But they won't flower like they did last spring

And I wanna kiss you, make you feel alright


I'm just so tired to share my nights
I wanna cry and I wanna love
But all my tears have been used up

// CHORUS
On another love, another love
All my tears have been used up

And if somebody hurts you, I wanna fight


But my hands been broken, once too many times
So I'll use my voice, I'll be so fucking rude
Words they always win, but I know I'll lose

And I'd sing a song, that'd be just ours


But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry I wanna learn to love
But all my tears have been used up

// CHORUS

I wanna sing a song, that'd be just ours


But I sang 'em all to another heart
And I wanna cry, I wanna fall in love
But all my tears have been used up

// CHORUS
HOW TO SAVE A LIFE

Step one, you say, "We need to talk."


He walks, you say, "Sit down. It's just a talk."
He smiles politely back at you
You stare politely right on through
Some sort of window to your right
As he goes left and you stay right
Between the lines of fear and blame
You begin to wonder why you came

// CHORUS: Where did I go wrong? I lost a friend


Somewhere along in the bitterness
And I would have stayed up with you all night
Had I known how to save a life

Let him know that you know best


'Cause after all you do know best
Try to slip past his defense
Without granting innocence
Lay down a list of what is wrong
The things you've told him all along
Pray to God, he hears you
And I pray to God, he hears you

//CHORUS

As he begins to raise his voice


You lower yours and grant him one last choice
Drive until you lose the road
Or break with the ones you've followed
He will do one of two things
He will admit to everything
Or he'll say he's just not the same
And you'll begin to wonder why you came

//CHORUS
TO BUILT A HOME

There is a house built out of stone


Wooden floors, walls and window sills
Tables and chairs worn by all of the dust
This is a place where I don't feel alone
This is a place where I feel at home.

//CHORUS:
And I built a home, for you, for me
Until it disappeared, for you, for me
And now, it's time to leave and turn to dust

Out in the garden where we planted the seeds


There is a tree as old as me
Branches were sewn by the color of green
Ground had arose and passed its knees

By the cracks of the skin I climbed to the top


I climbed the tree to see the world
When the gusts came around to blow me down
Held on as tightly as you held on me
Held on as tightly as you held on me......

//CHORUS
COLOMBIA | LOCAL NATIVES

The day after I had - counted down all of your breaths down until
There were none, were none, were none, were none;
A hummingbird crashed right in front of me and I understood all you did for us.
You gave, and gave, and gave, and gave.

Ohhh, every night I ask myself


Am I giving enough? [x3]
Am I?

If you never knew how much,


If you never felt all of my love.
I pray now you do, you do, you do, you do.

Ohhh, every night I ask myself


Am I loving enough? [x3]
Am I?

Patricia, every night I'll ask myself


Am I giving enough? [x3]
Am I?

Patricia, every night I'll ask myself


Am I loving enough? [x3]
Am I?
THE BLOWERS DAUGHTHER

And so it is,
Just like you said it would be
Life goes easy on me, Most of the time
And so it is, The shorter story
No love, no glory, No hero in her sky

I can't take my eyes off of you


I can't take my eyes off you.

And so it is
Just like you said it should be
We'll both forget the breeze
Most of the time
And so it is
The colder water
The blower's daughter
The pupil in denial

I can't take my eyes off of you


I can't take my eyes off you.

Did I say that I loathe you?


Did I say that I want to
Leave it all behind?

I can't take my mind off of you...


I can't take my mind...
My mind...my mind...
'Til I find somebody new
ETERNITY

Close your eyes so you don't fear them


They don't need to see you cry
I can't promise I will heal you
But if you want to I will try

//PRE :I'll sing this somber serenade


The past is done, We've been betrayed, It's true
Someone said the truth will out
I believe without a doubt, in you

// CHORUS: You were there for summer dreaming


And you gave me what I need
And I hope you find your freedom
For eternity, For eternity

Yesterday when you were walking


We talked about your mum and dad
What they did that made you happy
What they did that made you sad
We sat and watched the sun go down
Picked a star before we lost the moon
Youth is wasted on the young
Before you know it's come and gone to soon

//CHORUS

//PRECHORUS
//CHORUS

You were there for summer dreaming


And you are a friend indeed
And I know you'll find your freedom
Eventually, For eternity
SPARKS

Did I drive you away?


I know what you'll say,
You say, "Oh, sing one we know",
But I promise you this,
I'll always look out for you,
That's what I'll do.

I say "oh,"I say "oh."

My heart is yours,
It's you that I hold on to,
That's what I do,
And I know I was wrong,
But I won't let you down,
(Oh yeah, yeah, yes I will)

I say "oh", I cry "oh".

And I saw sparks,


Yeah I saw sparks,
And I saw sparks,
Yeah I saw sparks,
Sing it out.

La, la, la, la, oh


WHITE SHADOWS

When I was a young boy I tried to listen


And I wanna feel like that
Little white shadows, Blink and miss them
Part of a system, I am

If you ever feel like something's missing


Things you'll never understand
Little white shadows, Sparkle and glisten
Part of a system, a plan

All this noise I'm waking up


All this space I'm taking up
All this sound is breaking up, Ooh

----
Maybe you'll get what you wanted
Maybe you'll stumble upon it
Everything you ever wanted
In a permanent state

Maybe you'll know When you see it


Maybe if you say it You'll mean it
And when you find it You'll keep it
In a permanent state, A permanent state
----

When I was a young boy I tried to listen


Don't you wanna feel like that?
You're part of the human race
All of the stars in the outer space
Part of a system, a plan

All this noise I'm waking up


All this space I'm taking up
I cannot hear, you're breaking up, Ooh

Chorus

Swimmin' on a sea of faces


Tide of the human races
Oh, an answer now is what I need
See it in the new sun rising
See it break on your horizon
Oh, come on love, stay with me
LOST
Just because I'm losing
Doesn't mean I'm lost
Doesn't mean I'll stop
Doesn't mean I will cross

Just because I'm hurting


Doesn't mean I'm hurt
Doesn't mean I didn't get what I deserve
No better and no worse

I just got lost


Every river that I've tried to cross
And every door I ever tried was locked
Oh, and I'm just waiting 'till the shine wears off.

You might be a big fish In a little pond


Doesn't mean you've won
'Cause along may come A bigger one

And you'll be lost


Every river that you tried to cross
Every gun you ever held went off
Oh, and I'm just waiting 'till the firing starts
Oh, and I'm just waiting 'till the shine wears off.
THERE THERE

In pitch dark I go walking in your landscape


Broken branches trip me as I speak
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there

There's always a siren singing you to shipwreck


(don't reach out, don't reach out (x2))
Stay away from these rocks we'd be a walking disaster
(don't reach out, don't reach out (x2))
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there
(there's someone on your shoulder (x2))
Just cos you feel it doesn't mean it's there
(there's someone on your shoulder (x2))

Feel it (there, there!)


Why so green and lonely? (x3)
Heaven sent you to me (x3)
We are accidents waiting, Waiting to happen
We are accidents waiting, Waiting to happen
STREET SPIRIT

Rows of houses, all bearing down on me


I can feel their blue hands touching me
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out

This machine will, will not communicate


These thoughts and the strain I am under
Be a world child, form a circle
Before we all go under
And fade out again and fade out again

Cracked eggs, dead birds


Scream as they fight for life
I can feel death, can see its beady eyes
All these things into position
All these things we'll one day swallow whole
And fade out again and fade out again

Immerse your soul in love


IMMERSE YOUR SOUL IN LOVE
SPANISH SAHARA
