Primal Scream - Innocent Money Lyrics

Primal Scream - Innocent Money Lyrics  At night he sleeps on garbage heap streets On the mattress he keeps strapped to his back Of sleeping bags and rags In a five-star shop doorway or underpass home Canal wind cutting deep through his bones And a wrap of smack and the mattress on his back Are all that he owns And nobody visits and nobody cares Innocent money Weighing our worth in it Innocent money Surrender our lives to it Innocent money There's never enough of it Innocent money Swimming in sewers for it Innocent money Innocent money Innocent money Innocent money His cold dead stare and filthy grease matted hair Makes the civilians scared as they walk on by With their pious eyes glued to the floor And they've got no clue that he didn't choose His pavement blues And the world keeps turning just a little more And all he can hope for is some money to score Some money to score Innocent money We place all our trust in it Innocent money We pray to our gods for it Innocent money ...

Primal Scream - Melancholy Man Lyrics

Primal Scream - Melancholy Man Lyrics  See the melancholy man Happiness is in his hand Doesn't really understand Let it slip away like sand Everything within his grasp Trying to let the past go If only he could see Only he can set him free Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Trapped in his tired body Never listens to his soul When it's flooding like a river And crying like the wind Wasted years of solitude In a prison of bones and skin If only he could open his eyes He'd see the Kingdom within Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Happiness is in his hands Doesn't really understand His destiny's at his command Fates run thru his hands like sand A stranger in a strange land Shed a little tear Please embrace your fears Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man Melancholy man

Primal Scream - Heal Yourself Lyrics

Primal Scream - Heal Yourself Lyrics  I submerged myself for so many years Hardened my heart, I cried no tears I was running away I was trying to hide Thought I knew myself, but my truths were lies My distorted sense of self left no space for anyone else Behind the wall of sleep I felt safe and out of reach There was a hole inside of me just as deep as any sea Just as dark as any pit, still, I had to fill it She healed me and set me free Give me love and sweet release Heal well well heal yourself Reach out now to someone else I met someone special, we fell in love She knew I was sick but she didn't let on God gave me an English rose To heal my heart and save my soul Her love couldn't lift my sadness I wouldn't let her in to share my darkness Then she told me with a smile She was carrying our child It seemed like a miracle Would I care to share her dream? She healed me and set me free Give me love and sweet release Heal well well heal yourself Reach out now to someone else W...

Primal Scream - Love Insurrection Home Lyrics

Primal Scream - Love Insurrection Home Lyrics  Manichean times, have you heard the rumors of war? The blind lead the blind and the truth ain't truth anymore The poets warned about the coming storm No one reads books these days Conspiracy and illiteracy have taken their place Love insurrection Love insurrection We're lost and we need direction We need a love insurrection Manichean times test us all What do we believe? When we punish the poor for being poor And celebrate greed Should the hungry be fed and housed and protected from markets? Should wealth be shared? Shall we lay down our flags and our banners And all the things that divide us... And all the anger inside us... Love insurrection Love insurrection We're lost and we need direction I'm praying for a love insurrection In the country of the blind The one-eyed man is King The Planet's on fire And peace remains a dream Where you gonna run when the humiliated multitudes rise? When you gonna hide when the steel ra...

Primal Scream - Love Ain't Enough Lyrics

Primal Scream - Love Ain't Enough Lyrics  Some swear that it can move mountains A greater power than the sea Some people say that it's saved their souls It never happened to me It never happened to me A fatal flaw in a human Is that what you believe? In something greater than you and I It never happened to me It never happened to me Love ain't enough You've got to be tough And take everything that life can throw at you Love ain't enough Some men devote their whole lives to Some women that they love To take advantage of And cursed out like a dog Try to face down an army With open arms and a smile The rent is due and the landlords here He'll be collecting in kind Love ain't enough You've got to be tough And take everything this life can throw at you Yeah, love ain't enough Love ain't enough You've got to be tough Love ain't enough You've got to be tough Love ain't enough Love ain't enough Love ain't enough Love ain't eno...

Primal Scream - Circus Of Life Lyrics

Primal Scream - Circus Of Life Lyrics She's a door without a key He's a guitar without strings She was lying wide open Like a bible on a plinth Came on like a hellfire preacher Casting out her ghosts Fell at the first hurdle Like a Grand National horse Oh oh oh oh Kingdom of Strife Oh oh oh oh Circus of life She tried to rearrange him But his strings were cut loose He dangled like a puppet Crumpled and spooked He's a whiskey priest A punctured beast Another bar room King Without his crown Oh oh oh oh Kingdom of Strife Oh oh oh oh Circus of life Clowns all juggled Jugglers told jokes Lion tamers danced Up on the tightrope Dancing girls in the lions' cage He's got the soul of a lover But his heart is full of anger He's a soldier with no rifle A crook without a job A blind man cane-less Now he's walking into walls He's counting his chickens And the wolves are at the door He's a convict of love In his sad sick cell of woe Oh oh oh oh Kingdom of Strife Oh...

Primal Scream - Ready To Go Home Lyrics

Primal Scream - Ready To Go Home Lyrics When my time finally comes I'll be ready When my day is done I'll be ready When the night darkens the sun I'll be ready Oh Lord Ready to go home When my time finally comes I'll be ready When my day is done I'll be ready When the night darkens the sun I'll be ready Oh Lord Ready to go home In seasons of waste I'll be ready When I'm tired of the chase I'll be ready From here to the void I am ready Oh Lord Ready to go home Oh Lord Ready to go home Don't you know don't you know? There's a Kingdom inside Everyone and everything is holy Like the light that shines from your eyes In warm summer rains I'll be ready In body and soul I'll be ready When the last post is called I'll be ready Oh Lord Ready to go home When my cavalry is charged I'll be ready When the valley is dark I'll be ready Like the 11th Hussars I am ready Oh Lord Ready to go home Oh Lord Ready to go home Don't you kno...

Primal Scream - Deep Dark Waters Lyrics

Primal Scream - Deep Dark Waters Lyrics  Echoes from the past Day by day reminders We swore "they shall not pass" I fear the worst shall surely find us The future is set and spent In the dark enlightenment The "people they have spoken" The serpent's egg cracked open Bodies washed up on the beach Children drowning out of reach Hear the children cry This ship is sailing Into deep dark waters All systems are failing We go like cattle to the slaughter To the slaughter... Shadows from the past Cancelling the future We thought we'd seen the last Of the Euro high class butchers The fate of mice and men We're sleepwalking again Into a mess of our own making The barriers are shaking This time in business suits Not in helmets or jackboots Pull the trees out by the roots And shake the ground with thunder This ship is sailing Into deep dark waters All systems are failing We go like cattle to the slaughter To the slaughter... Our fortress continent Our values ​​are t...

Primal Scream - False Flags Lyrics

Primal Scream - False Flags Lyrics  My name is McDonald, I'm from a small town in Scotland Like my fathers before me, I would've worked down the mines But the war against the Unions, destroyed our communion When I came of age there was no work to be found I left school aged sixteen, couldn't hold down a job For more than a few weeks A friend of a friend told me I should apply For a career in the Army, "You'll be set you up for life" I went down to the office, put my name on the list Recruiting Sergeant said "we'll make a man of you yet" With rifles and bullets and bayonets they taught me The ways of a soldier, in my innocence they caught me Proud of my Regiment, uniform and gun Swore an oath of allegiance to the Crown I was so proud to serve, salute and enlist To give up my life for the country of my birth False flags are flying, young men are dying For a cause that means nothing, just a trick on our souls They sold me a lie, like many others I b...

Primal Scream - The Center Cannot Hold Lyrics

Primal Scream - The Center Cannot Hold Lyrics  You wanna know how it feels to be free You crave a glimpse of eternity A prisoner of consensual reality It's hard to fit in when you feel so strange Suppressed emotions mark a chemical change Locked down to your soul Lovers drown each other Trying to save their wretched souls Falling ever further 'Cause the centre cannot hold Shrinks and guru sell you spiritual junk This self-obsession is a rich man's curse You've got karma to burn Searching for meaning but the meaning is lost You'll try to buy it whatever the cost Keep chasing the wind Lovers drown each other Trying to save their wretched souls Falling ever further 'Cause the centre cannot hold No one knows another We can see only what they show Hidden depths might harbor Sacred monsters The center cannot hold The center cannot hold The center cannot hold The center cannot hold The center cannot hold The center cannot hold

Primal Scream - Settlers Blues Lyrics

Primal Scream - Settlers Blues Lyrics  They came in ones and twos at first Then whole families until it got much worse In hundreds and thousands in ships they arrived To claim our land as their rightful reward A Government in a land far away Decided to gift our land one day To an alien race with a different faith Of the land where our fathers lived and prayed The stream turned into a torrent, a storm And with those ships came bullets and guns And the fight for the land hurt everyone As the towns and the cities and the villages burned They torched our houses, shelled our towns Poisoned our wells, cut the olive trees down Exiled us in our own land Cast out like lepers in the desert sands All for profit, all for gain Colonial pawns in the Imperial game Killed our husbands Imprinted our sons Put us in ghettos when they left their own We lost our country by deceit By European law decrees In the League of Nations our fate was sealed By British law and British steel In the rebel year of '...
