Stronger Than Me |
|
|
|
|
You should be stronger than me
You been here 7 years longer than me
Don't you know you supposed to be the man,
Not pal in comparison to who you think I am, |
Tu dovresti
essere più forte di me
sei stato (su questo mondo) 7 anni più di me
non lo sai che si suppone che tu dovresti essere l'uomo
non l'amico con cui confrontarsi che tu pensi io sia |
|
You always wanna talk it through - I don't care!
I always have to comfort you when I'm there
But that's what I need you to do - stroke my hair! |
Hai sempre
voluto avere ragione, non m'importa!
ho sempre dovuto consolarti quando ero qui
ma ciò di cui avevo bisogno - che tu mi tirassi i capelli! (1) |
|
Cos' I've forgotten all of young love's joy,
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy, |
Perché ho
dimenticato tutto dei piaceri di un amore appena nato
mi sento come una signora, (mentre) tu sei il mio ragazzino |
|
You should be stronger than me,
But instead you're longer than frozen turkey,
Why'd you always put me in control?
All I need is for my man to live up to his role,
Always wanna talk it through- I'm ok,
Always have to comfort you every day,
But that's what I need you to do - are you gay? |
Dovresti
essere più forte di me
ma invece sei solo una specie di tacchino surgelato
Perché lasci sempre a me il comando?
Tutto ciò che voglio è che il mio uomo sia all'altezza del suo ruolo
vuoi avere sempre ragione - va bene
ho sempre dovuto consolarti, ogni giorno
ma quello di cui ho bisogno ... (ma) sei gay? |
|
I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy |
Ho
dimenticato tutto dei piaceri di un amore appena nato
mi sento come una signora, (mentre) tu sei il mio ragazzino |
|
He said 'the respect I made you earn -
Thought you had so many lessons to learn'
I said 'You don't know what love is - get a grip!' -
Sounds as if you're reading from some other tired script |
Lui ha detto:
"il rispetto che ti ho fatto guadagnare -
pensavo che tu avessi parecchie lezioni da imparare"
Ho risposto: "non sai che cos' è l' amore - fa una pausa! -
sembra che stai leggendo da qualche vecchio copione". |
|
I'm not gonna meet your mother anytime
I just wanna rip your body over mine
So tell me why you think that's a crime |
Non
incontrerò mai tua madre
voglio solo sentire il tuo corpo sopra il mio (2)
quindi, dimmi perché tu pensi che sia un delitto? |
|
I've forgotten all of young love's joy
Feel like a lady, but you my lady boy |
Ho
dimenticato tutto dei piaceri di un amore appena nato
mi sento come una signora, (mentre) tu sei il mio ragazzino |

You Sent Me Flying |
|
|
|
|
Lent you outside and my new Badu
while I was thinking you didn't have a clue
tough to sort files with your voice in my head
So then I bribed you downstairs with a marlboro red
so now I feel so small discovering you knew
How much more torture would you have put me through?
you probably saw me laughing at all your jokes
or how I did not mind when you stole all my smokes |
|
|
And although my pride is not easily disturbed
you sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me |
|
|
And although he is nothing in the scheme of my
years
it just serves to blugdeon my futile tears
And I'm not use to this, I observe, I don't chase
So now I'm stuck with consequences, thrust in my face
And the melodramas of my day delivery blows
that surpass your rejection it just goes to show
a simple attraction that reflects right back to me
so I'm not as into you as I appear to be |
|
|
And although my pride's not easily disturbed
you sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me |
|
|
His message was brutal but the delivery was kind
maybe if I get this down I'll get it off my mind
It serves to condition me and smoothen mi kinks
despite my frustation for the way that he thinks
and I knew the truth, when it came, would be to that effect
At least you're attracted to me which I did not expect
didn't think you get my number down and such
but I never hated myself for my age so much |
|
|
And although my pride's not easily disturbed
you sent me flying when you kicked me to the kerb
With you battered jeans and your beastie tee
Now I can't work like this with you next to me |

Fuck Me Pumps |
|
|
|
|
When you walk in the bar,
And you dressed like a star,
Rockin' your F me pumps. |
|
|
And the men notice you,
With your Gucci bag crew,
Can't tell who he's lookin' to. |
|
|
Cuz you all look the same,
Everyone knows your name,
And that's you whole claim to fame. |
|
|
Never miss a night,
Cuz your dream in life,
Is to be a footballers wife. |
|
|
You don't like players,
That's what you say-a,
But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire. |
|
|
You don't like ballers,
They don't do nothing for ya,
But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller. |
|
|
You're more than a fan,
Lookin' for a man,
But you end up with one-nights-stands. |
|
|
He could be your whole life,
If you got past one night,
But that part never goes right. |
|
|
In the morning you're vexed,
He's onto the next,
And you didn't even get no taste. |
|
|
Don't be too upset,
If they call you a skank,
Cuz like the news everyday you get pressed. |
|
|
You don't like players,
That's what you say-a,
But you really wouldn't mind a millionaire. |
|
|
Or them big ballers,
Don't do nothing for ya.
But you'd love a rich man six foot two or taller, |
|
|
You can't sit down right,
Cuz you jeans are too tight,
And your lucky its ladies night. |
|
|
With your big empty purse,
Every week it gets worse,
At least your breasts cost more than hers. |
|
|
So you did Miami,
Cuz you got there for free,
But somehow you missed the plane. |
|
|
You did too much E,
Met somebody,
And spent the night getting caned. |
|
|
Without girls like you,
There'd be no fun,
We'd go to the club and not see anyone. |
|
|
Without girls like you,
There's no nightlife,
All those men just go home to their wives. |
|
|
Don't be mad at me,
Cuz you're pushing thirty,
And your old tricks no longer work. |
|
|
You should have known from the job,
That you always get dumped,
So dust off your fuck me pumps. |
|

I Heard Love Is Blind |
|
|
|
|
I couldn't resist him
His eyes were like yours
His hair was exactly the shade of brown
He's just not as tall, but I couldn't tell
It was dark and I was lying down |
Non ho potuto
resistergli
i suoi occhi erano come i tuoi
i suoi capelli avevano esattamente la stessa sfumatura di castano
non è altrettanto alto, ma non saprei dire (quanto)
era scuro ed io ero sdraiata |
|
You are everything – he means nothing to me
I can't even remember his name
Why're you so upset?
Baby, you weren't there and I was thinking of you when I came |
Tu sei tutto
per me, lui non rappresenta niente
non riesco neppure a ricordare il suo nome
perché sei così contrariato?
Tesoro, tu non c'eri là ed io stavo pensando a te mentre me ne venivo |
|
What do you expect?
You left me here alone; I drank so much and needed to touch
Don't overreact – I pretended he was you
You wouldn't want me to be lonely |
Cosa ti
aspettavi? (1)
Tu mi hai lasciato qui da sola; ho bevuto così tanto e avevo bisogno che
qualcuno mi stringesse (2)
Non reagire in modo esagerato - Ho fatto finta che fossi tu
tu non avresti voluto che rimanessi da sola |
|
How can I put it so you understand?
I didn't let him hold my hand
But he looked like you; I guess he looked like you
No he wasn't you
But you can still trust me, this ain't infidelity
It's not cheating; you were on my mind |
Come posso
mettertela in modo che tu capisca?
Non ho lasciato (neanche) che mi tenesse la mano
Ma lui somigliava a te; immagino che somigliasse a te
No, lui non era te
Ma tu puoi ancora credere in me, questa non è infedeltà
non è (un modo) per ingannarti; tu eri nei miei pensieri. |
|
Yes he looked like you
But I heard love is blind… |
Sì, lui
somigliava a te
ma ho sentito dire che l'amore è cieco ... |

Moody's Mood for Love |
|
|
|
|
There I go, there I go, there I go, there I go
Pretty baby you are the soul, snaps my control
Such a funny thing but everytime you're near me
I never can behave
You give me a smile and I'm wrapped up in your magic
There´s music all around me
Crazy music, music that keeps calling me so
very close to you, turns me into your slave
Come on and do with me any little thing that you want to
Anything, baby just let me get next to you |
|
|
So am I insane or do I really see heaven in your
eyes?
Bright as stars that shine up above you
In the clear blue sky, how I worry bout you
Just can't live my life without you
Baby come here, don't have no fear
Oh, is there a wonder why
I'm really feeling in the mood for love |
|
|
So tell me why, stop to think about this weather,
my dear
This little dream might fade away
There I go talking out of my head again baby won't you
come and put our two hearts together
That would make me strong and brave
Oh, when we are one, I'm not afraid, I'm not afraid
If there's a cloud up above us
Come on and let in rain
I'm sure our love together would endure a hurricane
Oh my baby won't you please let me love you
and give from this awful misery |
|
|
What is all this talk about loving me, my sweet
I am not afraid, not anymore, not like before
Don't you understand me, now baby please
Pull yourself together, do it soon
My soul's on fire, come on and take me
I'll be what you make me, my darlin, my sweet |
|
|
Oh baby, you make me feel so good
Let me take you by the hand
Come let me visit out there
In that new promised land |
|
|
Maybe there we can find
A good place to use a lovin' state of mind
I'm so tired of being without it
And never known what love was about
James Moody you can come on and hit me,
you can blow now if you want to, I´m through |
|
|
|
|
|
In My Bed |
|
|
|
|
Wish I could say it breaks my heart
like you did in the beginning
It's not that we grew apart
a nightingale no longer singing |
Vorrei poter
dire che che mi spezza il cuore
come tu hai fatto all'inizio
non è che ci siamo allontanati crescendo
(è come) un usignolo che non canta più |
|
It's something
I know you can't do
seperate sex with emotion
I sleep alone the sun comes up
you're still clinging to that notion |
E' qualcosa
che so che tu non puoi fare
separare il sesso dal sentimento
Dormo da sola, il sole si alza
tu sei ancora aggrappato a quella nozione |
|
Every thing is slowing down
river of no return
recognise my every sound
there is nothing new to learn |
Ogni cosa sta
rallentando
fiume senza ritorno
riconoscere ogni mio suono
non c'è nulla di nuovo da imparare |
|
You'll never get my mind right
like two ships passing in the night
in the night, in the night |
Tu non potrai
mai tenere la mia mente allineata
come due navi che passano nella notte
nella notte, nella notte |
|
Want the same
thing when we lay
Otherwise mine's a different way
A different way from where I'm going |
Vogliamo la
stessa cosa quando siamo a letto (1)
(Ma) tuttavia io la voglio in modo diverso
Un modo diverso da dove sto andando |
|
Oh, it's you again
listen this isn't a reunion
so sorry if I turn my head |
Oh, sei di
nuovo qui
ascolta, questa non è una riunione
mi dispiace se ho girato la testa da un'altra parte |
|
Yours is a
familiar face
but that don't make your place safe
in my bed, my bed, my bed |
Il tuo è un
volto familiare
ma questo non rende la tua situazione (più) sicura
nel mio letto, nel mio letto, nel mio letto |
|
I never thought my memory
of what we had could be intruded
but I couldnt let it be
I needed it as much as you did |
Non ho mai
fissato nella mia testa (2)
quello potrebbe andare perduto di ciò che avevamo
ma non posso lasciare che tutto (sparisca)
io ne avevo bisogno almeno quanto ne avevi tu |
|
Now it's not hard to understand
why we just speak at night
The only time I hold your hand
is to get the angle right |
Ora non è
difficile capire
perché ci parliamo solo di notte
L'unica occasione che ho di tenere la tua mano
è quando ti devo tirare nella giusta direzione (3) |
|
Everything is slowing down
river of no return
you recognise my every sound
there is nothing new to learn |
Ogni cosa sta
rallentando
fiume senza ritorno
riconoscere ogni mio suono
non c'è nulla di nuovo da imparare |
|
You'll never get my mind right
like two ships passing in the night

Take The Box |
|
|
|
|
Your neighbours were screaming
I don't have a key for downstairs, so I punched all the buzzers hoping you
wouldn't be there
So now my head's hurting
You say I always get my own way
But you were in the shower when I got there, I'd have wanted to stay, but I
got nothing to say |
|
|
Cos you were so beautiful before today
But then I heard what you got to say…man that was ugly |
|
|
The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
Put it in the box, put it in the box
Frank's in there and I don't care
Put it in the box, put it in the box
Just take it
Take the box |
|
|
Take the box |
|
|
I came home this evening and nothing felt like
how it should be
I feel like writing you a letter but that is not me…you know me
Feel so f*cking angry; don't wanna be reminded of you
But when I left my sh*t in your kitchen, I said goodbye to your bedroom it
smelled of you |
|
|
Mr False Pretence, you don't make sense
I just don't know you
But you make me cry, where's my kiss goodbye?
I think I love you |
|
|
The Moschino bra you bought me last Christmas
Put it in the box, put it in the box
Frank's in there and I don't care
Put it in the box, put it in the box
Now take it
Take the box
Just take it, take it
Take the box
And now just take the box
Take the box
Take the box |

October Song |
|
|
|
|
Today my bird flew away
gone to find her big blue jay
Starlight before she took flight
I sung a lullaby of bird land everynight
sung for my Ava everynight |
|
|
Ava was the morning, now she's gone
she's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
birds surround her sweet soun
and Ava flies in paradise |
|
|
With dread I woke in my bed
to shooting pains up in my head
Lovebird, my beautiful bird
Spoken 'til one day she couldn't be heard
she just stopped singing |
|
|
Ava was the morning, now she's gone
she's reborn like Sarah Vaughan
In the sanctuary she has found
birds surround her sweet soun
and Ava flies in paradise |

What Is It About Men |
|
|
|
|
Understand once he was a family man
so surely I would never, ever go through it first hand
Emulate all the shit my mother hated
I can't help but demostrate my Freudian fate
My alibi for taking your guy
history repeats itself, it fails to die
and animal agression is my downfall
I don't care 'bout what you got I wanted all |
|
|
It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my
bed
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men? |
|
|
I'm nurturing, I just wanna do my thing
and I'll take the wrong man as naturally as I sing
and I'll save my tears for uncovering my fears
for behavioural patters that stick over the years |
|
|
It's bricked up in my head, it's shoved under my
bed
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men?
My destructive side has grown a mile wide
and I question myself again: what is it 'bout men? |
|
|
|
|
|
Help Yourself |
|
|
|
|
When I walk in your shoes
I understand a man confused
There must have been but I don't care
I feel the way your soul does there
Darling they empathise
Looking through your bloodshot eyes
And I know you you're so frustrated
Above we all become what we once hated
Be slight nobody can be that wise |
|
|
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone yeah
You can get so much from me
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself |
|
|
You've got a degree a in philosophy
So you think you're cleverer than me
But I'm not just some drama queen
Cos it's where you're at not where you've been
So what do you expect from me
To hold your head above the sea
And there are you even though you're bigger
Cos don't you know you crush my tiny figure
And anyway we're still so young
And this isn't yet the day |
|
|
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself
I can't help ya if you don't help yourself
You can only get so much from someone yeah
I can't help ya if you won't help yourself |
|
|
You might be twenty-five but in my mind
I see you at sixteen years or most of the time
And I'm just a child and you're full grown
And no I'm nothing like I've ever known yeah
I'm nothing like I've ever known |
|

Attract me
'til it hurts to concentrate
Distract me
stops me doing work I hate |
|
|
and just to show him how it feels
I walk past his desk in heels
one leg resting on a chair
from the side he pulls my hair |
|
|
(Amy Amy Amy)
Although I've been here before
(Amy Amy Amy)
He's just too hard to ignore
Masculine you spin a spell
I think you'd wear me well
(Amy Amy Amy)
Where's my moral parallel? |
|
|
It takes me
half an hour to write a verse
He makes me
imagine it from bad to worse |
|
|
My weakness for the other sex
every time his shoulders flex
way the shirt hangs off his back
my train of thought spins right off track |
|
|
(Amy Amy Amy)
Although I've been here before
(Amy Amy Amy)
He's just too hard to ignore
Masculine he spins a spell

|
|
His own style
right down to his Diesel jeans
Immobile
I can't think by any means |
|
|
Underwear peeks out the top
I'll let you know when you should stop
from the picture my mind drew
I know I'd look good on you |
|
|
(Amy Amy Amy)
Although I've been here before
(Amy Amy Amy)
You're just too hard to ignore
Masculine you spin a spell
I think you'd wear me well
(Amy Amy Amy)

|
|
Creative energy abused
all my lyrics go unused |
|
|
but when I clock black hair, blue eyes
a teardrop I fantasise |
|
