Letras canciones de SONGS OF EXPERIENCE



Love Is All We Have Left
 
Nothing to stop this being the best day ever 
Nothing to keep us from where we should be 
I wanted the world but you knew better 
And that all we have is immortality 

Love and love is all we have left 
A baby cries on a doorstep 
Love is all we have left 
Love and love is all we have left 
You argue because you can’t accept 
Love is all we have left 

Now you’re at the other end of the telescope 
Seven billion stars in her eyes 
So many stars 
So many ways of seeing 
Hey this is no time not to be alive 

Love and love is all we have left 
A baby cries on a doorstep 
Love is all we have left 

Love and love is all we have left 
The only thing that can be kept
Love is all we have left
 
 
Lights of Home
 
I shouldn’t be here cause I should be dead
I can see the lights in front me 
I believe my best days are ahead
I can see the lights in front of me
Oh Jesus if I’m still your friend
What the hell, what the hell you got for me 
I’ve got to get out from under my bed
To see again the lights in front of me
Hey, I’ve been waiting to get home a long time 

Hey now 
Do you know my name? 
Hey now 
Or where I’m going?
If I can’t get an answer 
In your eyes I see it
The lights of home 
The lights of home 

I was born from a screaming sound 
I could see the lights in front of me 
I thought my head was harder than ground 
I could see the lights in front of me 
One more push and I’ll be born again
One more road you can’t travel with a friend 
Saw a statue of a gold guitar 
Bright lights right in front of me 
Hey, I’ve been waiting to get home a long time 

Hey now 
Do you know my name? 
Hey now 
Or where I’m going?
If I can’t get an answer 
In your eyes I see it
The lights of home
The lights of home
Hey now 
Do you know my name? 
Hey now 
Or where I’m going?
If I can’t get an answer 
In your eyes I see it
In your eyes alone
I see the lights of home

Free yourself to be yourself 
If only you could see yourself 
If only you could 
Free yourself to be yourself 
If only you could see yourself 
If only you could 
Free yourself to be yourself 
If only you could see yourself 
If only you could 
Free yourself to be yourself 
If only you could see yourself 
If only you could see

 
You’re The Best Thing About Me
 
When you look so good
The pain in your face doesn't show
When you look so good
and baby you don't even know
When the world is ours
But the world is not your kind of thing
Full of shooting stars
Brighter as they're vanishing
Oh you've seen enough to know it's children who teach
You're still free enough to wake up on a bed or a beach.

You're the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened a boy
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
The best thing about me

I've been crying out
How bad can a good time be
Shooting off my mouth
That's another great thing about me
I have everything but I feel like nothing at all
There's no risky thing for a man who's determined to fall

You're the best thing about me
The best thing that ever happened a boy
You're the best thing about me
I'm the kind of trouble that you enjoy
You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
Why am I
Why am I walking away
Why am I walking away?

I can see it all so clearly
I can see what you can't see
I can see you love her loudly
When she needs you quietly

You're the best thing about me
The best things are easy to destroy
You're the best thing about me
Why am I
Why am I walking away (walking away)
Why am I walking away?


 

Get Out of Your Own Way
 
Get out of your own way 
Ah!
Get out of your own way 
Ah!

Love hurts, now you’re the girl whose left with no words
Your hearts a balloon but then it bursts
It doesn’t take a canon just a pin
your skin’s no covering...
Resistance, love has got to fight for its existence 
The enemy has armies of assistants 
 The amorous, the glamourous 
a kiss, a fist
Listen to this oh

Get out of your own way 
Ah!
Get out of your own way
Ah!

I can sing it to you all night all night
If I could I’d make it alright alright 
Nothing‘s stopping you except what’s inside
I can help you but it’s your fight, your fight 

Fight back, don’t take it lying down you’ve got to bite back
The face of liberty is starting to crack 
She had a plan until she got a smack in the mouth and it all went south like
Freedom, the slaves are looking for someone to lead them
The master’s looking for someone to need him 
The promised land is there for those who need it most and Lincoln’s ghost said

Get out of your own way 
Ahhhh
Get out of your own way 
Ahhhh

I can sing it to you all night all night
If I could I’d make it all right all right 
Nothing‘s stopping you except what’s inside
I can help you but it’s your fight your fight 

Get out of your own way 
Get out of your own way 
Get out of your own way 
Get out of your own way 
Get out of your own way 

Blessed are the arrogant for theirs is the kingdom of their own company
Blessed are the superstars for in the magnificence
of their light we understand better our own insignificance
Blessed are the filthy rich for you can only truly own what
you give away… like your pain


American Soul
 
Blessed are the bullies for one day they’ll have to stand up to themselves 
Blessed are the liars for the truth can be awkward 

It’s not a place 
This country is to me a sound 
Of drum and bass 
You close your eyes to look around 
Look around, around, look around,
It’s a sound, look around, look around, it’s a sound

It’s not a place 
This country is to me a thought 
That offers grace 
For every welcome that is sought 

You are 
Rock and roll 
You and I are 
Rock and roll 
You are 
Rock and roll 
We came here looking for American soul 

It’s not a place 
This is a dream the whole world owns 
The pilgrim’s face 
she had your heart to call her home 

Hold on Brother John 
Too many mothers weeping 
Dream on Brother John 
But in your dreams you can’t be sleeping 

You are 
Rock and roll 
You and I are 
Rock and roll 
You are 
Rock and roll 
We came here looking for American soul 
American 
American 

Put your hands in the air 
Hold up the sky 
Could be too late but we still gotta try 
There’s a moment in a life where a soul can die 
In a person, in a country ,when you believe the lie 
There’s a promise at the heart of every good dream 
It’s a call to action not to fantasy 
The end of the dream 
The start of what’s real 
Let it be unity 
Let it be community 
For refugees like you and me 
A country to receive us 
Will you be my sanctuary 
Refujesus 

You are 
Rock and roll 
You and I are 
Rock and roll 
You are 
Rock and roll 
We came here looking for American soul 

You are 
Rock and roll 
You and I are 
Rock and roll 
You are 
Rock and roll 
We came here looking for American soul 
American soul 
American soul


Summer of Love
 
The winter doesn’t want you, it haunts you
Summer serenading’s, a long way from this frozen place, your face
Our teacher, our preacher, it’s nature
And like flowers growing in a bomb crater 
From nothing, a rose, it grows 

I’ve been thinking ‘bout the West Coast 
Not the one that everyone knows
We’re sick of living in the shadows
We’ve one more chance before the light goes 
For a summer of love (summer of love)
Summer of love (summer of love)

Freezing, we’re leaving, believing 
That all we need is ahead of us somewhere 
In a summer to come 
So we run 

I’ve been thinking ‘bout the West Coast
Not the one that everyone knows
We’re sick of living in the shadows
We’ve one more chance before the light goes 
For a summer of love (summer of love)
A summer of love (summer of love)

Oh and when all is lost 
When all is lost we find out what remains 
Oh the same oceans crossed
For some it’s pleasure, for some it’s pain

I’ve been thinking ‘bout the West coast
Not the one that everyone knows
In the rubble of Aleppo
Flowers blooming in the shadows
For a summer of love 
A summer of love


Red Flag Day
 
I am made of all that I’m afraid of
Most afraid of losing you 
Hells the season 
You’re the reason that I even dreamt of getting through 

I can feel your body shakin’
I will meet you where the waves are breakin’ 
Baby it’s a red flag day 
but baby let’s get in the water 
Taken out by a wave 
Where we’ve never been before 
Baby it’s a red flag day 
But baby let’s go a bit further 
Paradise is a place 
You can’t see when it’s yours 

(Red flag day) 
(Red flag day)

Sun comes stealin’ 
Oceanic feelin’ 
Sky will soon be clear 
Today we can’t afford to be afraid of what we fear 

I can feel your body shakin’
I will meet you where the waves are breakin’
Baby it’s a red flag day 
But baby let’s get in the water 
Taken out by a wave 
Where we’ve never been before 
Baby it’s a red flag day 
But baby let’s go a bit further 
Paradise is a place 
You can’t see when it’s yours 

(Red flag day) 
Baby it’s a red flag day
(Red flag day)

Not even news today
So many lost in the sea last night 
The one word that the sea can’t say 
Is no, no, no, no….

Baby it’s a red flag day 
(Red flag day, red flag day) 
Baby it’s a red flag day 
(Red flag day, red flag day) 
Ahh…
(Red flag day, red flag day)
Ahh…
(Red flag day, red flag day)
Baby let’s get in the water


The Showman (Little More Better)
 
Baby’s crying cause it’s born to sing 
Singers cry about everything
Still in the playground falling off a swing
But you know that I know

Walk through the room like a birthday cake
When I am all lit up, I can’t make a mistake
And there’s a level of shallow that you just can’t fake
But you know that I know

Oh you don’t care
But you know I’m there

You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
Just a little more little more 
Look so good
That’s what’s gonna get you
Look so good
Just a little more little more 

You know you’re chasing the sunlight
That’s why I’m stayin’ up all night 
You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
A little more

It is what is it but it’s not what it seems
This screwed up stuff is the stuff of dreams
I got just enough low self esteem
To get me where I want to go

The showman gives you front row to his heart
The showman prays his heartache will chart
Making a spectacle of falling apart
Is just the start of the show

Oh you don’t care 
But you know I’m there

You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
Just a little more little more 
Look so good
That’s what’s gonna get you
Look so good
Little more little more 

I’ll be chasing the sunlight
That’s why I’m staying up all night
I lie for a living, I love to let on 
But you make it true when you sing along…

You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
Just a little more little more 
Look so good
That’s what’s gonna get you
Look so good
Just a little more little more 

You think you look so good
A little more better
Look so good
Just a little more little more 
Look so good
That’s what’s gonna get you
Look so good
Just a little more little more

 

The Little Things That Give You Away

The night gave you a song 
A light had been turned on 
You walked out in the world like you belonged there
As easy as a breeze 
Each heart was yours to please 
Is it only me who sees there’s something wrong there 
Oh la la la I'm not a ghost now 
I can see you 
You need to see me 

It's the little things that give you away 
The words you cannot say 
Your big mouth in the way 

I saw you on the stairs 
You didn't notice I was there
That's cause you were talking at me and not to me 
You were high above the storm 
A hurricane being born
But this freedom it might cost you your liberty

It's the little things that give you away 
The words you cannot say 
Your big mouth in the way 
It's the little things that tease and betray 
Has the hunter now become the prey 
But it's the little things 
The little things that give you away 

Sometimes I can't believe my existence 
See myself from a distance 
I can't get back inside 
Sometimes the air is so anxious 
All my thoughts are so reckless
And all of my innocence has died 
Sometimes I wake at four in the morning 
Where all the darkness is swarming 
And it covers me in fear 

Sometimes 
Sometimes 
Sometimes 

Sometimes I’m full of anger and grieving 
So far away from believing 
That any sun will reappear 

Sometimes 
The end is not coming 
It's not coming 
The end is here 
Sometimes 

Sometimes
Sometimes
Sometimes

Sometimes
When the painted glass shatters 
and you’re the only thing matters
but I can see through the tears
Sometimes
The end is not coming
it’s not coming
The end is here
Sometimes

 

Landlady

Roam, the phone is where I live till I get home
And when the doorbell rings
You tell me that I have key
I ask you, how you know it’s me?

The road, no road without a turn
And if there was, the road would be too long
What keeps us standing in this view
Is the view that we can be brand new

The landlady takes me up in the air
I go, I go where I would not dare
The landlady shows me the stars up there
I’m weightless
Weightless when she is there
And I’ll never know
Never know what starving poets meant
Cause when I was broke
It was you that always paid the rent

Space, her place is where I found my parking space
And when I’m losing ground
You know she gives it back to me
She whispers “don’t do, just be”

The landlady takes me up in the air
I go, I go where I would not dare
The landlady shows me the stars up there
I’m weightless
Weightless when she is there
And I’ll never know
Never know what starving poets meant
Cause when I was broke
It was you that always paid the rent

Every wave that broke me
Every song that wrote me
Every dawn that woke me
Was to get me home to you, see

Every soul that left me
Every heart that kept me
The strangers that protected me
To bring me back to you

Every magic potion
Every false emotion
How unswerving our devotion
To the lies we know are almost true

Every sweet confusion
Every grand illusion
I will win and call it losing
If the prize is not for you

 

The Blackout

Dinosaur, wonders why it still walks the earth, yeah 
A meteor, promises it's not gonna hurt, yeah
Earth quakes always happen when you're in bed Fred 
The house shakes maybe it was something I said Ned 

…go easy on me, easy on me brother
…go easy on me, easy on me brother 

When the lights go out 
And you throw yourself about in the darkness where you learn to see 
When the lights go out 
Don't you ever doubt 
The light that we can really be 

Statues fall 
Democracy is flat on its back Jack 
We had it all 
And what we had is not coming back, Zac
A big mouth 
Says the people they don't want to be free for free
The Blackout 
Is this an extinction event we see?

Go easy on me, easy on me brother
Go easy on me, easy on me now

When the lights go out 
And you throw yourself about in the darkness where you learn to see 
When the lights go out 
Don't you ever doubt 
The light that we can really be 

When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh

When the lights go out
When the lights go out

Blackout
It's clear
Who you are will appear
Blackout 
No fear
So glad that we are all still here, 
Here!

When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the lights go out

When the lights go out 
And you throw yourself about in the darkness where you learn to see 
When the lights go out 
Don't you ever doubt 
The light that we can really be 

When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh
When the lights go out
Ah, ah, oh, oh

When the lights go out
When the lights go out
When the lights go out



Love Is Bigger Than Anything in Its Way

The door is open to go through
If I could I would come too
But the path is made by you
As you‘re walking, start singing and stop talking

Oh
If I could hear myself when I say 
Oh
Love is bigger than anything in its way
Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh 
Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh

So young to be the words of your own song 
I know the rage in you is strong
Write a world where we can belong
to each other and sing it like no other

Oh
If I could hear myself when I say 
Oh
Love is bigger than anything in its way

Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh 
Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh

If the moonlight caught you crying on Killiney Bay
Oh sing your song, let your song be sung
If you listen you can hear the silence say 
When you think you’re done, you’ve just begun
Love is bigger than anything in its way 
Love is bigger than anything in its way 

Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh
Love is bigger than anything in its way 
Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh
Oh - oh - oh - oh - oh - oh



13 (There is a Light)

And if the terrors of the night
come creeping into your days 
And the world comes, stealing children from your room
Guard your innocence 
From hallucination 
and know that darkness always gathers around the light

There is a light you can’t always see 
If there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a dark that we shouldn’t doubt 
And there is a light, don’t let it go out

When the winds screams and shouts
And the sea is a dragon’s tail
And the ship that stole your heart away sets sail
When all you’ve left is leaving 
And all you got is grieving
And all you know is needing

If there is a light you can’t always see 
If there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a dark that we shouldn’t doubt 
And there is a light, don’t let it go out

Cause this is a song
A song for someone
Someone like me

I know the world is dumb
But you don’t have to be
I’ve got a question for the child in you before it leaves
Are you tough enough to be kind?
Do you know your heart has it’s own mind?
Darkness gathers around the light
Hold on, hold on 

There is a light you can’t always see 
If there is a world we can’t always be
If there is a dark that we shouldn’t doubt 
And there is a light don’t let it go out

And this is a song
A song for someone
This is a song
A song for someone
Someone like me
Someone like me
Someone like me
