Some Kind Of Salvation

The Features Some Kind Of Salvation歌詞
1.Whatever Gets You By

So here we are
It's like we never really left the start
Time heals the wound
But then there's still the scar
To remind us of the way it's meant to be

I'll sing a song
A melody for what has come and gone
Try to convince the choir to sing along
Here's to tomorrow or
Whatever gets you by


2.The Drawing Board

Take your woman by the hand
'Splain to her your master plan
And if she cries well then you'll know
That your plan is full of holes

Understand that it ain't no fun
To retire to the drawing board
Every time I think we've reached the end
We just meet back here and do it again
We just meet back here and do it again
Alright

So you've got yourself a new idea
One to make your troubles disappear
Well before you plan to try it out
Here's something to think about

Understand that it ain't no fun
To retire to the drawing board
Every time I think we've reached the end
We just meet back here and do it again
We just meet back here and do it again
We just meet back here and do it again
Look out

Understand
It ain't no fun
It ain't no fun
We just meet back here and do it again


3.Foundation's Cracked

I build my thoughts from the ground, ground
And every room with a view
It should be structurally sound, sound
To ever stand up to you

As quick as brick can be laid, laid
I'm building walls to provide
Some kind of shelter to save, save
Every good point I find

Oh, but wind will blow
And weeds will grow
Inside your mind
Foundation's cracked
When you forget the facts
Every time

Repairs will need to be made, made
I plan to compromise
All progress has been delayed, -layed
I'll reconsider design

Oh boy you better beware, ware
You're getting over your head
It's looking less like a home, home
And looking more like a shed

Ah, but wind will blow
And weeds will grow
Inside your mind
Foundation's cracked
When you forget the facts
Ah every time

I know that you're always right, right
My deconstruction is through
I'll pack my thoughts up tonight, night
And we'll just move in with you


4.GMF

I took a walk up to the garden to see
How my garden had developed since I planted the seeds
My, was I surprised
Overnight it had grown at least two stories high

Then I heard voices coming from every row
My vegetation, vegetation had a mind of its own
Soon they noticed me
Threw me down, tied me up and whispered quietly

We don't need love
Water or light
For we were born modified

I struggled free and I would get my revenge
Cut up the vegetables, grabbed a pot and threw 'em all in
Waited patiently
Filled my bowl, ate my soup and then I fell asleep

In the morning I woke up on the ground
Helicopters, flashing lights and people crowded around
Then I realized
Overnight I had grown at least ten times the size

As I stood up
Heard someone cry
He's been reborn, modified

Nothing can fill
Our appetite
Now that we're all modified
Modified
Modified
Modified
Modified


5.The Temporary Blues

Traded in my tennis shoes
For steeled toed rubber boots
I've got my own uniform to wear
They've given me a plastic hat
Earplugs and funny neck for my head
I'm well prepared

Time comes when you have to chose,
Occupation you can use
Well they say it should be something you like
Hard times just don't allow
Poor boy to be choosy how he provides
How you get by

Watch out now, here they come
My God, what have I done?
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down
One day we're gonna make a change
We gonna turn this mess around

Underneath flourescent lights
Night is day and day is night
We're waiting on our break to come
For some coffee with a honey bun
And small talk about the things we wished we'd done
When we were young
Time's up boy

Watch out now, here they come
My God, what have I done?
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down
One day we're gonna make a change
We gonna turn this mess around

Down the line, down the line
We're sendin' it
Down the line, down the line
We're puttin' in over time, over time
We're gonna stay late

Watch out now, here they come
My God, what have I done?
The temporary blues are gonna bring me down
One day we're gonna make a change
We gonna turn this mess around


6.Wooden Heart

I didn't know what I should do
To help myself get over you
And mend this heart of mine.
So I took my axe and walked around
Until I knew that I have found
The perfect piece of pine.

Well I took my axe and walked around.
Sized it up and cut it down.


7.The Gates Of Hell

Stand in line forever
Give our tickets to the man
Watch him pull the lever
We're riding in a can
Through the gates of hell, girl.
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell.

Satan's in the corner
Hanging by a wire
Started moving closer
As we squeak by wooden fire
Through the gates of hell, girl.
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell.

You may be opposed
But I will be the instigator
Trying hard to steal a kiss
From your lips tonight

Everybody knows where you go for bad behavior
Now I got my arms around you
Heaven is divine

Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell, girl
Through the gates of hell.


8.Still Lost

When I was a boy
Mother said 'Son,
gotta learn how to walk
before you can run.'
But I never listened the way that I should
Ran out of the valley and into the woods.

Oh didn't know where I was bound
Got lost trying to get found

I've taken the highs
Taken the lows
Traveled the wide
And the narrow
Turned every corner
Hoping to find
Answers to questions
That crowded my mind

Oh, don't know where I am
Got lost trying to get found
Hey!

Oh, don't know where I'm bound
Still lost trying to get found.


9.Baby's Hammer

Sunday, day of the lord
I stayed up too late the night before
Missed morning service
So I'm looking out but it ain't
Jesus that I'm worried about

That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again

Hard times on the factory floor
Looks like the boss man
Is closing the door at noon
Tell me, what do you do when all your
Young ones need a new pair of shoes

That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
My baby's hammer is always talking
My baby's hammer is talking sins right unto me
Talking sense right unto me

That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
That's when my baby's hammer starts talking again
Talking sins right unto me
Talking sins right unto me


10.Lions

Woah oh oh oh! Woah oh oh oh! (Repeats)

You might find yourself angry
At the things I do
Things I put you through
Hope you're able to forgive me
Like I forgive you
I forgive you

Oh girl, what are you thinkin?
I'm thinkin that we, ooo should stick together
I reckon that we, ooo should follow out hearts

All right now
Let's stick together
Let's follow our hearts
Not even lions can tear us apart

Woah oh oh oh! Woah oh oh oh! (Repeat)

I'm looking for answers
Some kind of release
Some kind of salvation
To make it all complete

Oh girl, what are you thinkin?
I'm thinkin that we, ooo should stick together
I reckon that we, ooo should follow out hearts

Let's stick together
Let's follow our hearts
Not even lions can tear us apart

(Short instrumental)

Let's stick together
Let's follow our hearts
Not even lions can tear us apart

Woah oh oh oh! Woah oh oh oh! (Repeat)

Oh girl, what are you thinkin?


11.Concrete

I'm the king of indecision
Just sitting on my throne
And if you ask me my opinion
I will tell you I don't know

Nothing is complete,
Nothing is concrete,
Nothing is for certain,
As far as I can see

Bring the knights to entertain me
Send the jester out to fight
Have the lamb cook me some supper
Oh, the chef sounds good tonight

Nothing is complete,
Nothing is concrete,
Nothing is for certain,
As far as I can see
(Repeat after short instrumental)


12.Off Track

作詞:Mark Bond, Roger Dabbs, Rollum Haas, Matthew Edwin Pelham

Turn on your heart, put on your ears
Let's try to make something clear
Hold out your arms, step into mine
There's fault in our design

We've been torn, we've been crossed
Love is war but mostly lost

Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track again
Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track

Well, we stand what it means
And what has come between
Plans we made, dreams we hoped
And others left untold

It's alright to have your doubts
They're so hard to live without

Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track again
Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track

Turn on your heart, put on your ears
Let's try to make something clear

Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track again
Oh, we gotta get back in line
Oh, we're off track

Don't know how
But we've lost all our tracks


13.All I Ask

I got a lazy mind it only works part time.
It wont do what I ask not even simple tasks.
So if you need advice might have to ask you twice.
I hope you understand, I do the best I can.

I wont give up on you, so dont give up on me.
Oh baby please I'm down on my knees.
That's all I ask of you.

I got a stubborn heart it never plays a part.
Scenes will come and go before it learns its role.
So when it comes to lines, might have to improvise.
I hope you understand, I do the best I can.

I wont give up on you, so dont give up on me.
Oh baby please I'm down on my knees.
That's all I ask of you.
Try to understand, doing the best I can.


14.Now You Know

I had a box and lack of nerve
Won't make it easier to find the words
But you should know the way I feel
So everything will be revealed
When nothings left to be exposed
I love you girl, and now you know
woo hoo hoo whoo ooo ooo

So here we are and there we were
Oh ain't it funny how these things occur
Well like a dream you never know
Girl ain't it funny how things seem to go

But you should know the way I feel
So everything will be revealed
When nothings left to be exposed
I love you girl, and now you know
woo hoo hoo whoo ooo ooo
