Lyrics

Beautiful Day
U2
(from »All That You Can't Leave Behind«)


The heart is a bloom
Shoots up through the stony ground
There's no room
No space to rent in this town


You're out of luck
And the reason that you had to care
The traffic is stuck
And you're not moving anywhere


You thought you'd found a friend
To take you out of this place
Someone you could lend a hand
In return for grace


It's a beautiful day
Sky falls, you feel like
It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away


You're on the road
But you've got no destination
You're in the mud
In the maze of her imagination


You love this town
Even if that doesn't ring true
You've been all over
And it's been all over you


It's a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
It's a beautiful day


Touch me
Take me to that other place
Teach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case


See the world in green and blue
See China right in front of you
See the canyons broken by cloud
See the tuna fleets clearing the sea out
See the Bedouin fires at night
See the oil fields at first light
And see the bird with a leaf in her mouth
After the flood all the colors came out


It was a beautiful day
Don't let it get away
Beautiful day


Touch me
Take me to that other place
Reach me
I know I'm not a hopeless case


What you don't have you don't need it now
What you don't know you can feel it somehow
What you don't have you don't need it now
Don't need it now
Was a beautiful day

Californication
Red Hot Chili Pepers

Album: Californication

Psychic spies from China
Try to steal your mind elation
Little girls from Sweden
Dream of silver screen quotations
And if you want these kind of dreams
Its Californication

It’s the edge of the world
And all of western civilization
The sun may rise in the east
At least it settles in a final location
It’s understood that Hollywood
Sells Californication

Pay your surgeon very well
To break the signs of aging
Celebrity skin is this your chin
Or is it war your waging

First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Cailfornication

Marry me girl be the fairy to my world
Be my very won constellation
A teenage bride with a baby inside
Getting high on information
And but me a star on the boulevard
It’s Californication

Space may be the final frontier
But it’s made in a Hollywood basement
Cobain can you hear the spheres
Singing songs off station to station
And Alderon’s not far away
It’s Californication

Born and raised by those who praise
Control of population everybody’s been there and
I don’t mean on vacation

First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Cailfornication

Destruction leads to a very rough road
But it also breeds creation
And earthquakes are to a girl’s guitar
They are just another good vibration
And tidal waves couldn’t save the world
From Califonication

Pay your sugeon very well
To break the signs of aging
Sicker then the rest
There is no test
But this is what you’re craving

First born unicorn
Hard core soft porn
Dream of Californication
Dream of Cailfornication

Die Internationale


Wacht auf, Verdammte dieser Erde,
die stets man noch zum Hungern zwingt!
Das Recht wie Glut im Kraterherde
nun mit Macht zum Durchbruch dringt.
Reinen Tisch macht mit dem Bedränger!
Heer der Sklaven, wache auf!
Ein nichts zu sein, tragt es nicht länger
Alles zu werden, strömt zuhauf!

Völker, hört die Signale!
Auf, zum letzten Gefecht!
Die Internationale
Erkämpft das Menschenrecht
Es rettet uns kein höh'res Wesen
kein Gott, kein Kaiser, noch Tribun
Uns aus dem Elend zu erlösen
können wir nur selber tun!
Leeres Wort: des armen Rechte!
Leeres Wort: des Reichen Pflicht!
Unmündigt nennt man uns Knechte,
duldet die Schmach länger nicht!

Völker, hört...

In Stadt und Land, ihr Arbeitsleute,
wir sind die stärkste Partei'n
Die Müssiggänger schiebt beiseite!
Diese Welt muss unser sein;
Unser Blut sei nicht mehr der Raben
und der mächtigen Geier Frass!
Erst wenn wir sie vertrieben haben
dann scheint die Sonn' ohn' Unterlass!

Völker, hört...
