Two star



So go on, and stop listening to me
Stop listening to me
And don't ask me what to say, or to judge a life this way
When my own's in disarray.

"Two Star" - Everything But The Girl

Well it's not for me to say,
but I can't see what you see in him anyway
But such righteousness in me
is not a nice thing to display,
and who am I for christsakes anyway
to judge a life this way when my own's in disarray?
 
I watch Saturday kid's TV with the sound turned down
I leave food on the eiderdown
All my thoughts pushed underground
Maybe you're happy - everyone says you are
You drive around on Two Star,
you leave your life ajar, and God knows
you deserve it.
Bad luck follows everyone.
 
So go on, and stop listening to me
Stop listening to me.
And don't ask me how I feel
don't ask me how I feel
 
So it's not for me to say
because I change my life from day to day,
and when I look at you
I only see bits of myself anyway
 
So go on, and stop listening to me
Stop listening to me
And don't ask me what to say, or to judge a life this way
When my own's in disarray.

One place



Everything but the girl - One place

One place

Summer evening, I walk past the windows
Baby crying, someone's cooking dinner
There's laughter on the TV, someone's learning the violin

How that home appeals
At times like this, I feel

I would like to live like anybody else
In one place
I could be happy and fulfilled
In one place

So I get the map out
(Get the map out)
I draw a line of where we've been

(Goes through sea and sky)
It goes through sea and sky
Twenty-five planes this year
And it's only July

This is not some Bible, like "On the Road"
It's just a song about coming home
And whether

I could live like anybody else
In one place
If I could be happy and fulfilled
In one place

You know that I have found
I'm happiest weaving from town to town
And you know, Bruce said
"We should keep moving 'round"

Maybe, we all get too tied down, I don't know
Yeah, I don't know
Happy to be home
(Still I'm)
Happy to be home
(Alright)

In the end, if you take care
You can be happy or unhappy anywhere

I think we maybe all rely too much
On one place
Though I never would deny the need
For one place

I think, we maybe all rely too much, baby
On one place
I know I never would deny the need
For one place

For one place
(For one place, baby)
One place
(One place, baby)
Oh yeah

It goes through sea and sky
(It goes through sea and sky)
One place
One place
(Goes through sea and sky)

I'm happy to be home
(Still I'm happy to be home)
Happy to be home
(Oh, still I'm happy to be home)

Goes through sea and sky
(Sea and sky)
(It goes through sea and sky)

Get the map out
(Get the map out)
Won't you, baby?
(Get the map out)
Oh yeah
(Get the map out)

Get the map out, oh yeah, baby
(Twenty-five planes this year)
Get the map out, it's alright
(After all, twenty-five planes this year)
C'mon

Get the map out
(Oh yeah)
Get the map out
(Oh yeah)
C'mon, get the map out
I said, get the map out

Everything but the girl - One place

Missing



Everything but the girl*** missing
Missing
 

I step off the train,
I'm walking down your street again,
and past your door,
but you don't live there anymore.

It's years since you've been there.
Now you've disappeared somewhere
like outer space,
you've found some better place,

and I miss you
- like the deserts miss the rain.

Could you be dead?
You always were two steps ahead
of everyone.
We'd walk behind while you would run.

I look up at your house,
and I can almost hear you shout
down to me
where I always used to be,

and I miss you -
like the deserts miss the rain.

Back on the train,
I ask why did I come again.
Can I confess
I've been hanging around your old address?

And the years have proven
to offer nothing since you moved.
You're long gone
but I can't move on,

and I miss you -
like the deserts miss the rain

Mancanza

Scendo dal treno
Cammino ancora sulla tua strada
E oltre la tua porta
Ma non abiti più lì

Erano anni che stavi lì
Ora sei sparito da qualche parte
Come lo spazio cosmico
Hai trovato qualche posto migliore

E mi manchi
Come al deserto manca la pioggia
E mi manchi
Come al deserto manca la pioggia

Che tu sia morto?
Eri sempre due passi avanti
A tutti
Camminavamo dietro mentre tu correvi

Guardo in su, la tua casa
E quasi ti sento gridare
A me
dove stavo sempre

E mi manchi
Come al deserto manca la pioggia
E mi manchi
Come al deserto manca la pioggia

Di ritorno al treno
Ho chiesto perché sono venuta ancora
Posso confessarlo?
Ho girato dalle parti del tuo vecchio indirizzo

E gli anni hanno provato
Che non offrono niente da quando sei andato
Sei andato via da tempo
Ma non posso riprendere la strada

E mi manchi
Come al deserto manca la pioggia
E mi manchi
Come al deserto manca la pioggia

Scendo dal treno
Cammino ancora sulla tua strada
E oltre la tua porta
Credo che non abiti più lì
Erano anni che stavi lì
Ora sei sparito da qualche parte
Ho uno spazio
Hai trovato qualche posto migliore

E mi manchi
E mi manchi
Hai trovato qualche posto migliore

E mi manchi
Come al deserto manca la pioggia
E mi manchi
Come al deserto manca la pioggia

Everything but the girl*** missing
