Give Me Strength (Alright Now)
The tide came in, it nearly buried us here - we saw things like they wouldn't believe. You hear a lot about stories about love and romance but I swear nothing quite like you and me. And every scar sits like a marker, and every line on the face is a small souvenir of all the places, be they good or be they bad that we stopped into on the journey to here. So maybe I lost my sense of direction but I'm all right now. Every man needs a little affection so I'm all right now. And there were times when, yeah, all right I'll confess I did things of which I am not proud. Everybody walks through the same coloured shit but it doesn't drag everyone down. Maybe I was stupid, maybe I was insensitive, I was all the things I promised that I never would be. I've seen a lot of foolish behaviour in my time I tell you they've got nothing on me. So maybe I lost my sense of direction Songtextebut I'm all right now. Every man needs a little affection so I'm all right now. So give me strength, give me something to believe in and I'm all right now. Sing along if your heart's finished bleeding yeah, I'm all right now. Another evening of sublime self destruction to the tune of a thousand cigarettes. Where every nail driven into your spirit was unable to sink you just yet. And television is just a week anaesthetic to numb the senses til you're out like a light. Like all the drugs that seem to promise you the earth then they don't keep you warm in the night. So maybe I lost my sense of direction but I'm all right now. Every man needs a little affection so I'm all right now. Give me strength, give me something to believe in So I'm all right now. Sing along when your heart's finished bleeding yeah, I'm all right now. It's like I cannot sleep for dreaming, this is everything that I ever hoped it possibly be. A lot of stories will end happily ever after but I swear nothing's quite like you and me. Aus Songtexte Mania
