Every one sees what you seem, just a few know what you are.

The greatest

Dedicated to my friends: they are the greatest.

Cat Power - The Greatest

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars at night turned deep to dust

Melt me down
Into big black armour
Leave no trace
Of grace
Just in your honor
Lower me down
To culprit south
Make ‘em wash
A space in town
For the lead and the dregs of my bed
I’ve been sleeping
Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
Two fists of solid rock
With brains that could explain
Any feeling

Lower me down
Pin me in
Secure the grounds
For the lead and the dregs of my bed
I’ve been sleeping
For the later parade

Once I wanted to be the greatest
No wind or waterfall could stall me
And then came the rush of the flood
Stars of night turned deep to dust

Smoke Fairies - Summer Fades (lyrics)

This is my attempt to write down the lyrics of this amazing song from Smoke Fairies.

I know my English skills are not very good, so please, let me know any correction I should make on these lyrics :)

Summer Fades


41ofXtAiSSL._SS500_
As the summer fades
to a watery light
and autumn’s hues
are coming into life.

Can we start something new
just me and you?
Through low light and trees
a future unseen
is a future I can believe.

Through the cold
these months
I held onto
a day in hope
that flickered in you.

Can we start something new
further than you?
A step is the path
the Moon to the Earth.
Find a future I can believe.

Can you hold me like you held someone
you shouldn't have let go?
Can you keep me deep inside
like the regrets that burnt a hole?
Can you love me like you loved someone
you loved so long ago?

Take me far away
the late night drive.
See her lights flash
in a stranger's eyes.

And then start something new
just me and you.
Through low light and trees
a future unseen
is a future I can believe.

Can you hold me like you held someone
you shouldn't have let go?
Can you keep me deep inside
like the regrets that burnt a hole?
Can you love me like you loved someone
you loved so long ago?

Can you hold me like you held someone
you shouldn't have let go?
Can you keep me deep inside
like the regrets that burnt a hole?
Can you love me like you loved someone
you loved so long ago?

Massive Attack - Babel (lyrics)

My version of the lyrics of this song. It wasn't easy to find the proper ones, but these are the most accurate lyrics I could do after comparing with so many versions.

Hope you enjoy it :)



Massive Attack - Babel

Said it was your paper
Said it was my Babel
It was my Babel
Tell on paper

Now you know it's over rolling off her shoulder
You can take a ladder to the shadows and forget
Was it how she kissed you and then dismissed you?
Was it purposeful and was it just to hook you in?

Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing
Breaking, hating till you're lost in I
Where it was your girlfriend, she was not your way
Where you were going, you were on your own

He was quick to burning
He was slow to learning
Though inside you're misted
He still kissed her when she cried
You did your best to replace her
And didn't up and leave her
You befriended the harsh way it ended, now sleep tight

Hallucinating, chasing, changing, racing,
Breathing, breaking if you lost it all
Cause I know you'll do it, we come to do it
And when you do it, I will curve in love

You wanna be the one that shoots that truth to my death
I'm running so far out of my head
This sprain of heart that ripples my day
Can never sail by thinking away
