Marc Almond & Gene Pitney
Something's Gotten Hold of My Heart
(Composed by Gene Pitney and covered by Marc Almond)
--

Something's gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, and turning me down
Making me smile, and making me frown

In a world that was small
I once lived in a time that was peace and no
troubles at all
But then you came my way And a feeling
(of) unknown shook my heart,
made me want you to stay
All of my nights, and all of my days

(yeah I gotta tell you now) Something's
gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, and changing the blue
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you

I got to know if this is the real thing
I got to know it's making my heart sing
Wo-hoo-o-ye-e-e-e-e e

You smile and I am lost for a lifetime
Each minute spent with you is the
right time Every hour, every day
You touch me and my mind goes astray,
yeah Baby, baby

Something's gotten hold of my hand
Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Something's gotten into my life
Cutting it's way through my dreams like a knife
Turning me up, and turning me down
Making me smile, and making me frown

In a world that was small
I once lived in a time that was peace and no
troubles at all
But then you, you came my way And a feeling
(of) unknown shook my heart,
made me want you to stay
All of my nights, and all of my days

(I gotta tell you now) Something's
gotten hold of my heart
Keeping my soul and my senses apart

Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, and changing the blue
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you

Dragging my soul to a beautiful land
Yeah, something has invaded my night
Painting my sleep with a colour so bright
Changing the grey, and changing the blue
Scarlet for me, and scarlet for you

The summer slips below the surface
Floating slowly in clear water
Drinking sunlight through the fisheye
See the moon broken

Moonflowers bright with people walking
Drinking wine and eating fruit and laughing
Heart and soul life passes one to another3
Death alone walks with no one to converse with

Well I had a dream of love
All night long
I thought I heard a siren sing
A song of love

. . .

(Well) I had a dream of love
All night long
(Well) I thought I heard a siren sing
A song of love

. . .

Now does this river belong to anybody I know?
You know I fished just a little to ease my body and soul4

Just sit and dream on the river bank
Let my mind relax and let my consciounsness be easy and free

Everyday I love you less and less
It's clear to see that you've become obsessed
I've got to get this message to the press
That everyday I love you less and less
And everyday I love you less and less
I've got to get this feeling off my chest
The Doctor says all I needs pills and rest
Since everyday I love you less and less
And less and less,
I know, I feel it in my bones
I'm sick, I'm tired of staying in control
Oh yes, I feel a rat upon a wheel
I've got to know what's not and what is real
Oh yes I'm stressed, I'm sorry I digressed
Impressed you're dressed to SOS
Oh, and my parents love me
Oh, and my girlfriend loves me
Everyday I love you less and less
I can't believe once you and me did sex
It makes me sick to think of you undressed
Since everyday I love you less and less
And everyday I love you less and less
You're turning into something I detest
And everybody says that your a mess
Since everyday I love you less and less
And less, and less
I know, I feel it in my bones
I'm sick, I'm tired of staying in control
Oh yes, I feel a rat upon a wheel
I've got to know what's not and what is real
Oh yes I'm stressed, I'm sorry I digressed
Impressed you're dressed to SOS
Oh, and my parents love me
Oh, and my girlfriend loves me
Oh, they keep photos of me
Oh, that's enough love for me
Oh, and my parents love me
Oh, and my girlfriend loves me
Oh, they keep photos of me
Oh, that's enough love for me

Πολύ με πίκρανες ζωή
μακριά θα φύγω ένα πρωί
θ' ανέβω σ' ένα αεροπλάνο
να δω τον κόσμο από κει πάνω

Όταν κοιτάς από ψηλά
μοιάζει η γη με ζωγραφιά
και συ την πήρες σοβαρά
και συ την πήρες σοβαρά

Μοιάζουν τα σπίτια με σπιρτόκουτα
μοιάζουν μυρμήγκια οι ανθρώποι
το μεγαλύτερο ανάκτορο
μοιάζει μ' ένα μικρούλι τόπι

Κι όλοι αυτοί που σε πικράνανε
από ψηλά αν τους κοιτάξεις
θα σου φανούν τόσο ασήμαντοι
που στη στιγμή θα τούς ξεχάσεις

Αγαπημένη μου, μην κλαις
πάμε μαζί ψηλά, αν θες
να δεις τη γη απ' τη σελήνη
ένα φεγγάρι είναι και κείνη

Όταν κοιτάς απο ψηλά
μοιάζει ο κόσμος ζωγραφιά
και συ τον πήρες σοβαρά
και συ τον πήρες σοβαρά

Μοιάζουν οι πύργοι με κουκλόσπιτα
και τα κανόνια με παιχνίδια
από ψηλά δεν ξεχωρίζουνε
οι ομορφιές και τα στολίδια

Κι ό,τι σε πλήγωσε ή σε θάμπωσε
από ψηλά αν το κοιτάξεις
θα σου φανεί τόσο ασήμαντο
που στη στιγμή θα το ξεχάσεις

(English lyrics)

They got you down Manolis
What have you done to me
No song we've no funky beat
still feel a killer beat
whats wrong with you Manolis
you were the one so proud (or bright)
They got you down say let this
let this get tonight 

 

(Greek lyrics)
Εγώ είμαι φίνος μάγκας και φίνος χασικλής
κι όταν θα τη φουμάρω να ξομολογηθείς
Έλα βρε Μανωλάκη να τα λιμάρουμε
να στρώσουμε κουβέρτα να τους τα πάρουμε

Για σένα ρε Μανόλη τα ρούχα μου πουλώ
και παίρνω μπαγλαμάδες και παίζω και γλεντώ
Έλα βρε Μανωλάκη να παίξεις μπαγλαμά
να κάνουμε κεφάλι στον ψεύτικο ντουνιά

Je t’aime… Moi non plus                                           

I love you, I love you
Oh, yes I love you!
No longer me
Oh, my love…
Like the undecided wave
I go, I go and I come
Between your back
I go and I come
Between your back
And I hold back.
I love you, I love you
Oh, yes I love you!
no longer me
Oh, my love…
You are the wave, I’m the naked island
You go, you go and you come
Between my back
You go and you come
Between my back
And I rejoin you.
I love you, I love you
Oh, yes I love you!
no longer me
Oh, my love…
Like the undecided wave
I go, I go and I come
Between your back
I go and I come
Between your back
And I hold back.
You go, you go and you come
Between my back
You go and you come
Between my back
And I rejoin you.
I love you, I love you
Oh, yes I love you!
No longer me
Oh, my love…
The physical love is without a way out
I go, I go and I come
Between your back
I go and I come back
And I hold back
No! Now come!

(refrain)
Je t'aime, je t'aime
Oh oui je t'aime !
Moi non plus
Oh mon amour
Comme la vague irrésolue
Je vais, je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Et je me retiens
(refrain)
Tu es la vague, moi l'île nue
Tu vas, tu vas et tu viens
Entre mes reins
Tu vas et tu viens
Entre mes reins
Et je te rejoins
(refrain)
Comme la vague irrésolue
Je vais, je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Et je me retiens
Tu vas, tu vas et tu viens
Entre mes reins
Tu vas et tu viens
Entre mes reins
Et je te rejoins
(refrain)
L'amour physique est sans issue
Je vais, je vais et je viens
Entre tes reins
Je vais et je viens
Et je me retiens
Non ! Maintenant viens !

You'd look nice in a grave.
I smile at the moon, death is on my face
And if you wait too long,
Then you'll never see the dawn again

"My skull is full of sunken ships,
My heart's a prisoner to my ribs,
We're flesh & bone when we're all alone,
But together, forever, we'll live"

There's gold in my heart,
But the winds took my sails through the dark,
And if you wait too long,
then you'll never see the dawn again.

"He filled my heart, I did my best.
But without the sun, I'm only shadows in a dress.
'Cause if the full moon comes, our love is done,
So forever, towards dark, we rise"

Mind your business
Mind your business
Mind your never-shut, Quonset hut business

My craft is exploding
It's like I'm making cloisonné
Choking on my dust
With my three blind cats

You have a friend in law enforcement
Don't go calling law enforcement
Business
Mind your business

Got too busy explaining
Now it's just raining pain
Pain in the form of a rain drop
Yes, a rain drop made of pain

Tell 'em the story, rain drop
"I don't want to tell 'em, mister!"
Tell 'em the story, rain drop
"I don't want to tell 'em!"

Keep your voice down
Keep your voice down
Keep your window-shaking, godforsaken voice down

I'm sick of this beeswax
I'm sick of these second-story sleestaks
Breathing on my dice
Giving me back rubs

When I'm deep in concentration
You start getting no conversatin'
Sleestak

What's a sleestak?
That's your heart attack
Towel rack
Fallback

You got no doctors
All your doctors have gone home
What's a sleestak?
What's a sleestak?

You have a friend in law enforcement
Don't go calling law enforcement
Cloisonné

Backside melts into the sofa
My world, my tv, and my food
Besides listening to my belly gurgle
Ain't much else to do
Yeah, i sweat a lot
Pants fall down every time i bend over
And my feet itch
Yeah - I married a scarecrow
I hate you
Talkin' to myself
Everybody's starin' at me
I'm only bleedin'
Someone taps me on the shoulder every 5 minutes
Nobody speaks english anymore
Would anyone tell me if i was gettin' stupider?
I hate you
Talkin' to myself
You don't feel it after awhile
You take the beating
I'm a swingin' guy
Throw a belt over the shower curtain rod
And swing - - -
Toss me inside a hefty
And put me in the ground
A drink needs me
I don't
I ain't about to guzzle no tears
So kiss my ass
Newscasters, cockroaches, and desserts
I hate you
Talkin' to myself
Everybody's starin' at me
I'm only bleedin'
where are the kids?
Maybe pregnant,
or on drugs,
or on welfare,
on top of the world,
the honor roll,
on parole,
on reruns,
in the Dodgers,
back of milk cartons,
on stakes in them middle of corn fields,
on covers of future history books,
on old lady's mantles,
walkin' on water,
nailed on crosses,
I think it's time I had a talk with my kids
I'll just tell 'em what my daddy told me
YOU AIN'T NEVER GONNA AMOUNT TO NOTHIN'

This town (town),
Is going like a ghost town.

All the clubs are being closed down.

This Place (ahh),
Is coming like a ghost town.

Bands won't play no more,
To much fighting on the dance floor.

Ahhhhh-la-la

Do you remember the good old days before the ghost town?
We danced and sang as the music played in any boomtown.

This town (town) is going like a ghost town.
Why must the youth fight against themselves?
Government leaving the youth on the shelf.

This place (town) is coming like a ghost town.
No job to be found in this country.
Can't go on no more.
People getting angry.

Ahhhh-la-la-la

This town is coming like a ghost town.
This town is coming like a ghost town.
This town is coming like a ghost town.
This town is coming like a ghost town.

I'm moving along on the wings of time
Trying to find a purposive line
It Ain't Easy
It Ain't Easy
To find

(x2)

It Ain't Easy to find
It Ain't Easy to find

It Ain't Easy
(It Ain't Easy)
(It Ain't Easy)
(It Ain't Easy)
(to find)

It Ain't Easy
(It Ain't Easy)
(It Ain't Easy)
(It Ain't Easy)
(to find)

(x3)

(It Ain't Easy) It Ain't Easy
(It Ain't Easy)
(It Ain't Easy) Ain't Easy to find
(to find)

(x2)

Sandstorm
Fly with the clouds from the wind
In the desert there’s a sandstorm
Dust in my eyes in my ears
There’s a rumour of a sandstorm.
Moments of a fear drawing near
Give me shelter from the sandstorm
See how the sun's burning eye
In the sky closes tight
Bringing night while we wait
In the gloom from the sandstorm
Fall to the ground all around
Does wind blow by the sand
Raise your hand to your face
But it can't stop the sandstorm
Sandstorm…
Nowhere to run or to hide
From the fury of the sandstorm
No one can say how much time
We must suffer in the sandstorm
Each of us stands here along
At the mercy of the sandstorm
