Super Extra Gravity

The Cardigans( 羊毛衫 ) Super Extra Gravity歌詞
1.Losing a friend

You're losing a friend
You got it all wrong
It's not about revenge
But you're losing a friend

I didn't see it coming
With my head stuck in the sand
But now I'm losing a friend

And it's keeping me up
It's the ribbons I tied
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Than let you go

You're losing a friend
You jeopardize me
Bad bad blood on your hands
And see, you're losing a friend

I'm fickle and I'm vain
And you trick me over and over again
And now I'm losing you

And it's killing me
It's the strings that I tie
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Then let it all go

My mistake
To lose you

Oh no, oh no!
So this the end now
I'm losing you
Oh, look at you!
Look what you're wasting
You're losing a friend
Oh no, oh no!
I'm losing a friend
Oh, oh oh no


2.Godspell

I've heard about a great big swindle
I read about it in a book
The book flew out the window
Was later found by thieves and crooks

And now
they're singing hallelujah
I'm wondering just what did they find
They say 'what's it to ya?'
Just take a place in line

And wait
So I wait
I wait
And wait
And I...

I'm one of a few survivors
I'm a drawer labeled 'lost and found'
Moon travelers and deep sea divers
Whose oxygen supply ran out
Now maybe if their gods be willing
They'll give us something, fill our empty cups
Sit down in the boat, don spill it
Or we'll just have to line back up

And wait
So we wait
We wait
Yes we wait
And we wait
And we wait
We will wait
'Til we...

You can hear it in the beat they march to
And you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
You can tell by the way they move you
It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby

And as the world moves faster
Whiplashing us round and round
It's quite a slow disaster
But people keep on falling down

As they wait
We wait
And we wait
We wait
Hallelujah!

3.Drip drop teardrop

I'm gonna watch you while you get me wrong
I'm gonna sing until you hate this song
I'm gonna tell you in my sweetest voice
I'm gonna choose you 'cause you have no choice
This funny thing we've got
Is never gonna stop
Oh no

I'm gonna take you to the wilderness
I'm gonna show you things you might have missed
I'm gonna kiss the parts that you have lost
It's gonna cost you but you might hurt less

This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
Until drip drop teardrop
Will we ever learn

I'm gonna work 'til we get it on
I'm gonna love you 'til we get along
And when your ears and your eyes are sore
I'm gonna love you just a little bit more

This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
Until drip drop teardrop
Will we ever
Will we ever
Will we ever learn


stop


4.Overload

Overload
Oh what a match we are!
As we romance along
Towards the firescape
Open fire
Forever in your arms
Splendid time we have
Doing what I dread
Oh my lord
Can I buy some time
I'm learning to dance
Dum-ditty-dance
I'm dancing, ok?

Overlord
Lord of the underworld
Full-of-wonder-girl
As we twist and twirl
Hot and dry
High in my cloven heels
This is how real love feels
As we prance and die
Such a fancy fire
As we dance
You sure can dance
Dance dance

You I will never forget
I hope you'll remember me later
We're swimming in a puddle of sweat
I'm hot baby, don't burn your fingers
I'm tenderly served on your plate
The band must continue to play

So we can dance
I love to dance
Baby dance with me
Yeah
I can dance
To love is to dance
Now dance me home


5.I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer

(Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over)

Well, here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Tryin' to play together somehow
I'm wasting my life, you're changing the world,
I get drunk and watch your head grow
It's the good times that we shared
And the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
And the bad times that we had

Well, it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog

So I need some fine wine
And you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
And the bad times that we'll have

Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
'Til I go and kill the bottle
I go off over any old thing
Break your heart and raise a glass or ten
To the good times that we shared
And the bad times that we'll have
To the good times
And the bad times that we've had

Well, it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine
And you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
And the bad times we know will come, yeah

I need some fine wine
And you, you need to be nicer
We need to be nicer
You and me
For the good times and the bad time that we had

Good times, bad times
Sweet wine, bad wine
Good cop, bad cop,
Lapdog, bad dog

(Sit.)


6.Don't blame your daughter(Diamonds)

Don't blame your daughter
That's just sentimental
And don't blame your mum
For all that you've done wrong
Your daddy's is not guilty
You came out a little faulty
And the factory closed
So you can't hold them liable
You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
With a rubber knife

Your autograph's is worthless
So don't send me letters
And don't mail me cash
'Cause your money is no good
What's left in your mattress
Is holes and lack of love left
Some hair from a horse
And none of it is yours, man
You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
With a rubbery knife

And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them
But don't blame your daughter

Read me your tombstone
Tell me you're sorry
Fax me your will
You owe me something still
Blood is like water
The bath that you poured me
Has drained and is gone
Don't blame it on your son

And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them, boy!

The world is full of diamonds
Go out and find them
But don't blame your daughter


7.Little Black Cloud

A black cloud's hanging over the town tonight
But I don't mind
I don't mind
There's a cold breeze cutting through the summer air
But I'm not scared
I don't care
'Cause we dance the night away
Let's dance the night away, yeah!

The black cloud's whispering into my ear
But I don't hear
I won't hear
'Cause the arms that hold me want an eye to eye
He's touching me
And I don't mind
As we dance the night away
Let's dance the night away

Oh yeah!
The music wants me tonight
What time will you let me down
I look pretty good tonight
Oh yeah!
Little black cloud
Little black cloud
I don't wanna go home

The black cloud's circling over me tonight
But I don't mind
And you don't mind
If you're cold I'll tell you it's the summer breeze
Just dance with me
We'll be alright

Oh yeah!
Te music wants me tonight
What time will you let me down
I look pretty great tonight
Oh yeah!
Little black cloud
Little black cloud
I'm not done yet

Hey, look at me!
The music wants me tonight
What time will you let me down
I look pretty great tonight
Oh yeah!
Little black cloud
Little black cloud
I don't wanna go home
I'm not done yet
I'm not done yet

8.In The Round

I am young and I'm alive
I want to talk about things
I am young and I own my life
I need to talk about it, baby
I am one but I asked for two
I didn't get anything
This puppet's lonely without you
It's tough to walk without strings
I do my dance in the round
I'm right on track but this state is frail
You slip out and redail
I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
Clap your hands

I wanna do it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time, yeah!
Clap your hands
I gotta get it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time
I do my dance in the round

I am young, coming at you live
People gonna talk about me
When I'm done, please hang me high
For everybody to see
'Cause I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
I wanna get it right
I'm dyin' to get it right
I wanna get it right
I'm dyin' to get it right


9.Holy Love

When you love
I can feel your love
Shooting holes in my stupid pride
When you love
I don't fear your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine

Holy love
You can really have anything you want from me
Anything you ask me to, I'll do
We can live in poverty or prosperity
Anything impossible, I'll try
You can really have everything you ask
And I'll be intimate with you
Giving everything over
To making everything right

Holy love
When you love
I can feel your love
Shooting holes in my stupid pride
When you love
I don't fear your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine
Holy love

You can really make anyone you want of me
Anyone you need tonight, I'll be
Whether you want empathy, animosity
An enemy or company, call me
I can even be nothing if you ask
I'll turn invisible for you
I'm the bird on your shoulder
Singing psalms through the night
Of holy love

When you love
I can feel your love
Throwing rocks through the windows of a monastery
Love
Makes me feel the super extra gravity
Of god, yeah!
And live
When you love
I can feel your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine


you love
divine


10.Good Morning Joan

Good morning Joan
Now pick up your phone
It was bad but just a dream
And you are remembered
Put on something pretty
Go back to the city
In the town the sky's just space
No starlight in your face
Listen to Eve
She's got stuff up her sleeve
To her there's no excuse
You've gotta use before you get used
Or talk to Louise
She knows all about freezing
She got lost in early May
And now it's December

I'd call on you if I could
If you were less like me I would

Good morning Joan
Did you wake up alone
Did you dream you woke up happy
With a phonebook full of names
Just forget about Mary
She says everything's scary
She got locked inside her skin
Get near her, she'll drag you in

I'd call on you if I could
If you were less like me I would
Save you from this if I could
If I were less like you, god knows I would
(Save you from this)
Spare us all this shit
But you're all just like me so I quit!

My name is yours
Can I sleep on your floor
See, my heroes changed their minds
And I lost my numbers


11.And Then You Kissed Me II

Slowdancing tight
My barren heart and I
Your name used to taste so sweet
Then you beat the love right out of me
It's a mystery how people behave!
How we long for a life as a slave
When he kissed me I gladly gave in
To a fight nobody could win

Man, he left me blue
And if I could, I would do it too
I tell you now like I told you before
Love is a powerful force
And it's a mystery how people behave!
How we long for a life as a slave
And tumble into any open arms
That will only ever do you harm

Oh, you you, it's always you
The best kisser that I ever knew
True love is cruel love
Not much to be proud of
Nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend
All for a happy end

It's a mystery how people behave!
How we worry ourselves to the grave
When he kissed me I lost everything
Then I got up and did it again

Oh you you, it's always you
The hardest hitter that I ever knew
True love is cruel love
Not much to be proud of
Ass-kissing mercy-missing faithless friend
All for a happy end


12.Give me your eyes

Oh girl, look at yourself, what have you done
What have you become
Well, I couldn't say
Slow down and think of your heart, where do you go
Now, how am I supposed to know, I'm always looking away

Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes
I can't tell night from day
Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes and watch me walk away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I took a look at myself
Nothing inside
Except for cigarettes and wine where there should be a life
You've been watching me for a while and you like what you see
It's in the eyes of the beholder
Now give them to me

Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes that seem to light my face
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh mirror, mirror upon the wall
Who is the fairest of them all
Mirror, mirror made no reply
Mirror went black and cracked from side to side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh girl, look at yourself, what have you done
What have you become
You know the camera don't lie
Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes I can't tell night from day

Come give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes and watch me walk away
Yeah!

Give me your eyes
Give me your eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah!


13.Slow

Slow, slow, slow
There is something you need to know
There's a feeling I don't understand
Here it comes again
Glow, glow, glow
There was love ten seconds ago
In it's place, now a tiny pain
It comes again

There'll be rain on our wedding day
And the chapel will be mud and clay
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
I don't know why
Slow, slow, slow
Easy come and easy go
It seems your ring is sliding off my hand
Do you understand?
No, no, no
In every breathe you're dragging me low
In every movement the chill sustains
Here it comes again

There'll be rain on our wedding day
Rotting roses in my bouquet
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
Too late to cry
Slow, slow, slow...


14.Slowdown town

Should come snow
But we got rain and it's leaking in
I think of Paris
How that ugly tower stands 3 years of wind

Now don't it seem like we're living in a slowdown town
I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
And on and on it goes
On and on it goes
Billions of people be happy living like the way we do
With the world in our hands
Believing that we're small and true

But sometimes I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
Yes I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
And on and on it goes
I'll be here
And the wind and the rain will be
Tearing down the building over me
I'll be here
In my tower of mistrust
I built this myself with nails that don't rust
Don't you feel like we're living in a slowdown town
Oh honey, I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
So people, come on, let's just blow it and get out of this damn
town
Or on and on it goes
Or on and on it goes
