Lloyd Cole & The Commotions

Music In A Foreign Language
I am cold, distant, increasingly resistant to your smile And this I don't deny You are bold, beautiful, I'm always going to be in love with you Amphetamines or none You say - Give it to me straight Well I already did There isn't any more And what pale fire I ever had is gone But you don't want to hear that in a song Music in a foreign language Words that we don't understand Melodies won't come between us And even if you wanted - we can't sing along La la la... I heard a voice - resonant, born of Scandinavian descent I didn't comprehend a single word, sentence My stunted sensibility content To listen without words I'll try to give it to you straight My heart is almost full - there's not a lot of space And so forgive me if I'm less than awed SongtexteBy your world weary twenty-six year old Music in a foreign language Words that we don't understand Melodies won't come between us And even if you wanted - we can't sing along La la la... You say I'm dry - a scientist No mate for the lioness you are Yes - I can hear you roar Aus Songtexte Mania
