Portishead - Third
ContactPortishead - Third
Silence
Tempted in our minds
Tormented inside lie
Wounded, I'm afraid inside my head
Falling through changes
Did you know when you lost?
Did you know when I wanted?
Did you know what I lost?
Do you know what I wanted?
Empty in our hearts
Crying out in silence
Wandered out of reach, too far to speak
Drifting, unable.
Did you know when you lost?
Did you know when I wanted?
Did you know what I lost?
Do you know what I wanted?
Hunter
No one said,
We'd ever know each other.
A new evidence, is what we require,
In this world.
I stand on the edge of a broken sky,
And I'm looking down, don't know why.
And if I should fall, would you hold me?
Would you pass me by?
Ooh, you know I'd ask you for nothing,
Just to wait for a while.
So confused,
My thoughts are taken over.
Unwanted horizons face me instead,
Won't let go.
I stand on the edge of a broken sky,
And I'm looking down, don't know why.
And if I should fall, would you hold me?
Would you pass me by?
Ooh, you know I'd ask you for nothing,
Just to wait for a while.
Nylon Smile
I'd like to laugh at what you said
But I just can't find a smile
I wonder why you can't
I struggle with myself
Hoping I might change a little
Hoping that I might be someone I wanna be
Looking out I want to know someone might care
Looking out I want a reason to be there
Cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you
And I don't know what I'll do without you
Looking out I want to know some way might clear
Looking out I want a reason to repair
Cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you
And I don't know what I'll do without you
I can't see nothing good
And nothing is so bad
I never had a chance
To explain exactly what I meant
The Rip
As she walks in the room,
Scented and tall,
Hesitating once more.
And as I take on myself,
And the bitterness I felt,
Realise that love lost well.
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
Through the glory of life,
I will scatter on the floor,
Dissappointed and sore.
And in my thoughts I have bled,
For the riddles I've been fed,
Another line is over-oh.
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
White horses,
They will take me away,
And my tenderness I feel,
Will send the dark underneath,
Will I follow?
Plastic
I wonder why
I don't know what you see?
Of course I care
I won't pretend
It's just a thorn
I'd said enough
Don't you know life turns me
Always wants me
I can hold the fight
I could try
But don't know what you hear
Cos in my heart, you are so clear
Just a thorn
I'd said enough
Don't you know life turns me
Always wants me
I can hold the fight
On your stage
A show that you create
All by yourself
I am nowhere
You never notice
You are so sure
Don't you know life turns me
Always wants me
I can hold the fight
We Carry On
The taste of life I can't describe
It's chocking on my mind
Reaching out I can't believe
Faith it can't decide
On and on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell myself
It's this I can't disguise
Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed the taste of life
The pace, the time, I can't survive
It's grinding down the view
Breaking out which way to choose
A choice I can't renew
Holding on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise
Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed, no place is safe
Can't you see the taste of life
Deep Water
I'm drifting in deep water
Alone with my self doubting again
I try to not to struggle this time
For I will weather the storm
Gotta remember
Don't fight it
Even if I
Don't like it
Somehow turn me around
No matter how far I drift
Deep waters won't scare me tonight
Machine Gun
I saw a saviour, a saviour come my way
I thought I'd see it in the cold light of day
But now I realize that I'm only for me
If only I could see (you) return myself to me
And recognize the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy will agree with how I feel
Here am I with plenty, what more can I say?
For I am guilty for the voice that I obey
Too scared to sacrifice the choice chosen for me
If only I could see (you) return myself to me
And recognize the poison in my heart
There is no other place, no one else I face
The remedy to agree with how I feel
Small
If I remember the night that we met
Tasted a wine that I'll never forget
Opened the doorway and saw through the light
Motions of movement 'n' I felt alive
She spoke of freedom, "The way in" she said
"The wisdom that took me away from the bed"
Spoke of a glory that we have become
I felt forgiven and what I've become
Small, tasteless and flawed
Hoping to see, blinded like me
You tried to understand, but you're just a man
Hoping to score just like me
Thrill, you were again
Tried to pretend, who you were then
Who you are now
Late in the law (late in the law)
Late in the law (late in the law)
Small, tasteless and flawed
Hoping to see, blinded like me
You tried to understand, but you're just a man
Hoping to score just like me
Thrill, you were again
Tried to pretend, who you were then
Who you are now
Late in the law (late in the law)
Late in the law (late in the law)
Magic Doors
I can't deny what I've become
I'm just emotionally undone
I can't deny, I can't be someone else
When I have tried to find the words
To describe this sense absurd
Try to resist my thoughts
But I can't lie
I've been losing myself
My desire I can't have
No reason am I for
I can't divide or hide from me
I don't know who I'm meant to be
I guess it's just the person that I am
Often I've dreamt that I don't wait
Enjoy the gift of my mistake
And yet again I'm wrong and I confess
I've been losing my self
My desire I can't have
No reason am I for
Threads
Better if I could find the words to say
Whenever I take a choice it turns away
I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why
I'm always so unsure
I battle my thoughts I find I can't explain
I've travelled so far but somehow feel the same
I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I'm worn, tired of my mind
I'm worn out, thinking of why
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I'm always so unsure
I am alive when I sleep
Why am I not in all that I got?
I can't find no one to blame
Stand, stand, damned one
Damned one
Damned one
Damned one
I am one
Damned
One
Where do I go?
