The Night Before

James The Night Before歌詞
1.It's Hot

It's hot enough within this bed
To melt our differences
Woah, a leap of faith

This fiery love
Dissolves the edge
Creates a bridge
Woah, a leap of faith

It's hot
Inside the chrysalis
Our cells create a dreamy bliss
A leap of faith
And out of this
A floating kiss
Life loves to exist

Hangover after the party
Woah, a leap of faith
Hangover after the party
Woah, a leap of faith

It's hot
Inside the chrysalis
Our cells create a dreamy bliss
A leap of faith
And out of this
A floating kiss
Life loves to exist

It's hot
Inside the chrysalis
Our cells create a dreamy bliss
A leap of faith
And out of this
A floating kiss
Life loves to exist

It's hot
Inside the chrysalis
Our cells create a dreamy bliss
A leap of faith
And out of this
A floating kiss
Life loves to exist


2.Crazy

This magic world
This magic world
This magic world
It inspires

With the faith that I was born with
In my schooling in the forges
Time has lost its power to do its worst
But I don't mean to bore you
With the details of my story
Can't help myself, help myself
I conspire

This magic world
This magic world
This magic world
It Inspires

But I'm not crazy
I'm just laughing at myself
I can look so strong
And feel so insecure

No I'm not crazy
I'm just laughing at myself
Even when I look so strong
I feel so small

This is the face that I was born with
In a race I can't keep up with
Separate the stardust from the dirt
But I don't mean to bore you
With the details of my story
Can't help myself, help myself
I'm a liar

But I'm not crazy
I'm just laughing at myself
I can look so strong
And feel so insecure

No I'm not crazy
I'm just laughing at myself
Even when I look so strong
I feel so small

But I'm not crazy
I'm just laughing at myself
I don't know if I'm the poison
or the cure


3.Ten Below

So I'm on my own
Far from my broken home
And it costs
Feels like ten below
Pack me off to school
Innocence and trust are all lost
Where did my childhood go?

Calling from the pay phone
Trying not to cry
Feeling I am dying
Telling you I'm fine
You tell me it's the making of me
That's a fucking lie
When's the holidays?
Holidays. Holiday.

I'm at the bottom of my bed
Headphones on my head
John Peel show
Feels like ten below

The sky's a dull gun metal
Where did the sun go
And it rains, and rains
Feels like ten below

Turning on the weaker ones when we were bored
I used to have feelings but all I feel's a hole is where the
heart is
And the organ praise the lord
When's the holidays?
Holidays. Holidays.

He's at war
He's at war
With himself at the world
He's at war

He will strike first to anticipate
He's at war
Doesn't know how to relate
Feels like a cold war spy
If he's caught
Take the easy way out


4.Porcupine

Knock, Knock, Knock
My house is always open
I shield myself with quills and feints and lies
I can put on quite a show, but inside I'm broken
Porcupine, porcupine

Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

Please don't stop, you'll get past my defenses
My body armor's plated all the time
I got away with it once, but I soon became addicted
Porcupine, porcupine

At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall

At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall

Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again

On my back, the weight of my offenses
You're a skunk and I'm a porcupine
Our weaponry's evolved from heightened senses
Porcupine, porcupine

At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall

At the edge of the world
Leave my things by the door
I surrender control
Diving into the fall

Here it comes again
Here it comes again
Here it comes again


5.Shine

Shot myself - ricochet
Crisis as an opportunity
Curtain call to loud applause
As you fall upon your sword

Wake up in a stranger's bed
Hangover and then some
Can't remember what was said
What's her name and what we've done

Wake up in a stranger's bed
This one stresses income
On the rich list, born and bred
Blames attached to every sum

Shot myself - ricochet
Crisis as an opportunity
Loud applause
Revealing the conceal - loser

Shot myself - ricochet
Crisis as an opportunity
Curtain falls to loud applause
The tattoo says it all
Hope and glory

Where is the peace
And the whole in a half-life
I can't control my saboteur
Call it my nature
Name it addiction
Kiss on the lips will soon turn sour
Innocence lost in the grip of a hand job
After the surge of ecstasy
I'm walking out the door
Hope and glory

Sh sh sh shine like a ghost
Sh sh sh shine to be loved the most
When you're gone your songs outlive your story
Sh sh sh shine like a ghost
Sh sh sh shine to be loved the most
When you're gone your songs outlive your story


6.Dr Hellier

Dr Hellier says that my body's Afghanistan
And we can't let the Taliban
Take over and breed
He says there's only one answer
In a nuclear age, man
They might spread to Pakistan
So we have to proceed

He enters my bloodstream
With a crew in a capsule
He takes the wheel
With hands that were made to heal

As he approaches the death star
We lose visual contact
And that's when my temple
Turned into a wasteland
There was shouting and shooting
When the capsule was taken
His last words as he went down
Press the button

He slipped my fingers from death's grip
Escaped my body on a passenger ship
Watched T-cells playing in the bow-waves
He lives for the ones that died
Don't know how he survives
Just know he owes it to them to be happy


7.Hero

Ever the hero you won't break
Weak and strong
Ever the hero you won't break
Weak and strong
Weak and strong

You've got to love your brother like
You don't love yourself
You've got to change
You've got to love your brother like
You don't love yourself
You've got to change
You've got to change

You think that's strong
Cutting off love like an amputee
You're not alone
We all want love without the grief

Ever the hero you won't break
Weak and strong
Ever the hero you won't break

You're not alone
We can relate to your insecurities
You think you're strong
Measure your courage in empathy

Ever the hero you won't break
Weak and strong
Ever the hero you won't break
Weak and strong

You've got to love your brother like
You don't love yourself
You've got to love your brother like
You don't love yourself
You've got to love your brother like
You don't love yourself
You've got to change

Right wrong maybe
Option one's the dangerous one
I bet you make us wrong
And I'll bet, and I'll bet
I'll bet you use the bomb
I'll bet you use the bomb
Another hero makes another villain
Another hero
Another hard on
Makes another right on
