Sisters Of Mercy Tribute EP

 This Corrosion

Gimme the ring, kissed and told gimme something that I missed
A hand to hold, wild and what it seems kill the king with love is the law
And the wheel turn round gimme dream child and do you hear me call?
On the loan and on the level still on the floor sing dream child and do you hear at all?

(Sing) (Sing)
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing This Corrosion to me
Hey now, hey now now, sing

Gimme siren, child and do you hear me?
Gimme siren, child, and do you hear me call?
Sing, child, of right and wrong
Gimme things that don't last long
Gimme siren, child, and do you hear me call?

On days like this in times like these I feel an animal deep inside
Heel to haunch on bended knees living on if and if I tried
Somebody send me... please...dream wars and a ticket to seem
Giving out and in selling the don't belong well, what do you say
D'you have a word for Giving Away got a song for me?

I got nothing to say I ain't said before I bled all I can, I won't bleed no more
I don't need no one to understand why the blood run hold
The hired hand on heart Hand of God Floodland and Driven Apart
Run cold turn cold burn like a healing hand

More

Some people get by with a little understanding
Some people get by with a whole lot more
I don't know why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know I want more I want more
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to

D'you get scared to feel so much to let somebody touch you?
So hot, so cold, so far so out of control hard to come by, and harder to hold
Some people get by with a little understanding
Some people get by with a whole lot more
I don't know why you gotta be so undemanding I want more
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to

There are parts of me that don't get nervous not the parts that shake
You won't get what you deserve you are what you take
Learning to cry for fun and profit I'm not done yet
Counterfeit dollars or the English zloty anything I can get
Some people get by with a little understanding
Some people get by with a whole lot more
I don't know why you gotta be so undemanding
One thing I know I want more
And I need all the love that I can't get to
And I need all the love I can get
And I need all the love that I can't get to
All the love that you can get
All the love that I can't get to

Dominion / Mother Russia

In the heat of the night in the heat of the day
When I close my eyes when I look your way
When I meet the fear that lies inside when I hear you say
In the heat of the moment say
Some day Dominion come a time
Some day Dominion some say prayers I say mine

In the light of the fact on the lone and level
Sand stretch far away in the heat of the action
In the settled dust hold hold and say
In the meeting of mined down in the streets of shame
In the betting of names on gold to rust
In the land of the blind be King
Some day Dominion come a time
Some day Dominion some say prayers I say mine

In the heat of the night in the heat of the day
When I close my eyes when I look your way
When I meet the fear that lies inside when I hear you say
In the heat of the moment say
Some day Dominion come a time
Some day Dominion some say prayers I say mine

We serve an old moan in a dry season
A lighthouse keeper in the desert sun
Dreamers of sleepers and white treason
We dream of rain and the history of the gun
There's a lighthouse in the middle of Prussia
A white house in a red square I'm living in films for the sake of Russia
A Kino Runner for the DDR and the fifty-two daughters of the revolution
Turn the gold to chrome gift...nothing to lose
Stuck inside of Memphis with the mobile home, sing:
Mother Russia Mother Russia
Mother Russia rain down

Lucretia My Reflection

I hear the roar of the big machine two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine I hear your empire down
I hear the roar of the big machine two worlds and in between
Love lost, fire at will dum-dum bullets and shoot to kill 
I hear dive bombers, and empire down

I hear the sounds of the city and dispossessed
Get down, get undressed get rid of you and me
We got the kingdom, we got the key
We got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take direction
Lucretia, my reflection, dance the ghost with me

We look hard we look through we look hard to see for real
Such things I hear, they don't make sense I don't see much evidence I don't feel
A long train held up by page on page a hard reign held up by rage
Once a railroad now it's done...
I hear the roar of the big machine two worlds and in between
Hot metal and methedrine I hear your empire down...
We got the empire, now as then
We don't doubt, we don't take reflection
Lucretia, my direction, dance the ghost with me

Some Kind Of Stranger

And  I believe in what we had but words got in the way
And only yesterday as I was leaving lord knows I've tried to say but I've heard a million conversations
Going where they've been before seen the way that careful lingers undecided at the door
And all I know for sure all I know for real is knowing doesn't mean so much
When placed against the feeling the heat inside when bodies meet when fingers touch

All my words are secondhand and useless in the face of this
Rationale and rhyme and reason pale beside a single kiss
And I've heard so many things I fail to understand at all
I'd settle anytime for unknown footsteps in the hall outside
And all I know for sure all I know for real is knowing doesn't mean so much
When placed against the feeling the heat inside when bodies meet when fingers touch

Because the world is cruel and promises are broken
Don't try to tell me anything don't try to tell me
You'll be true to me you know the real truth is never spoken
And I know the world is cold but if you hold on tight to what you find 
You might not mind too much though even this must pass away 
And memories may last for years but names are just for souvenirs
Some kind of angel let me look into your eyes don't give me whys and wherefores reason or surprise
I don't care for words that don't belong and I don't care what you're called
Tell me later if at all I can wait a long long time before I hear another love song
Come here I think you're beautiful my door is open wide some kind of angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful some kind of angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful some kind of angel come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful my door is open wide some kind of stranger come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful some kind of stranger come inside
Come here I think you're beautiful some kind of stranger come inside

Temple Of Love 1992

With the fire from the fireworks up above me
With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain at hand
You run for cover in the temple of love
You run for another but still the same
For the wind will blow my name across this land
In the temple of love you hide together believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather
And the tears he cried will rain on walls as wide as lovers' eyes
In the temple of love shine like thunder in the temple of love cry like rain
In the temple of love hear my calling in the temple of love hear my name

And the devil in a black dress watches over my guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning black wind come carry me far away
With the sunlight died and the night above me with a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain inside
You run for cover in the temple of love you run for another, it's all the same
For the wind will blow and throw your walls aside

With the fire from the fireworks up above with a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love I shine like thunder, cry like rain
And the temple of love grows old and strong but the wind blows stronger, cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before this black wind calls my name to you no more
In the black sky thunder sweeping underground and over water 
Sounds of crying, weeping will not save your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing ninety-six below the wave when stone is dust and only air remains
In the temple of love  shine like thunder in the temple of love  cry like rain
In the temple of love  hear the calling in the temple of love is falling down
In the temple of love  shine like thunder in the temple of love  cry like rain
In the temple of love hear my calling in the temple of love hear my name

In the black sky thunder sweeping underground and over water 
Sounds of crying, weeping will not save your faith for bricks and dreams for mortar
All your prayers must seem as nothing ninety-six below the wave when stone is dust 
And air remains the only haven you can trust
And the devil in the black dress watches over my guardian angel walks away
Life is short and love is always over in the morning black wind come carry me far away
With the fire from the fireworks up above With a gun for a lover and a shot for the pain
You run for cover in the temple of love I shine like thunder, cry like rain
And the temple of love grows old and strong but the wind blows stronger, cold and long
And the temple of love will fall before this black wind calls my name to you no more
In the temple of love you hide together believing pain and fear outside
But someone near you rides the weather and the tears he cried will rain on walls as wide as lovers' eyes
In the temple of love shine like thunder in the temple of love cry like rain
In the temple of love near the calling and the temple of love is falling down
