LYRIC GOTR MAD BRILLIANT
Liar - by Charlie DeMars
I don't mean to sound mean when I talk about the day
I believed every single word she'd say, but, things changed like she'd changed
Something's not the same
Found the things she said, did you?... were never true 'cause
She's a liar
Who won't expire
Fools with desire
Leaves you behind
She didn't break me! (She said) 'Can't you see we'd never be, because your crazy'
Sure I'm crazy
Only crazy'd think
That she would change forever
She would lie even if the truth sounded better
Never tell someone you love them, would they love you?.....' cause
They will die when they hear the truth
She's a liar
Who won't expire
Fools with desire
Leaves you behind
She's a liar
She's a liar
She's a liar
Vehicles Shock Me - by Aaron Anderson
So you caught me all alone
Did you think I'd care at all
Now I'm sitting by the phone
Waiting for you to call
It rang a million times before you picked it up
I wear a stupid smile saying that I'm stuck
The effervencent beauty of a face so thin
All the stupid questions, well they did me in
Who was I to think to tell
You drove her to uh oh oh
Fake plastic trees are dead
Have a good time when you fall
It rang a million times before I picked it up
I wear a stupid smile saying that I'm stuck
The effervencent beauty of a face so thin
All the stupid questions, well they did me in
Everything
Is upside down
Everything
Is over now
It rang a million times when you lied to me
It rang a million times when you lied
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It rang a million times
It's your birthday and I'm not there
Because you don't even know that I'm here
Fake trees you
Plant behind you
When it's me there
Right beside you
I'm the shade that
Creeps your shoulder
When you hide your face from me
I Can't get over
Can't get under
Can't get around or
Through to you
I Can't get over
Can't get under
Can't get around or
Through to you
Dangerous - by James Marsters
I don't think you know my name
I think you'd leave me standing in the rain
You're a pretty little girl, got a thing for me
But you'd cut me open and let me bleed
But I'll be lookin' at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
Sparkling everywhere
You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me
'Cause you're dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
And you don't even know it
One baby, two, maybe three more years
You'll be a full hot baby, have all your curves
And here's a little taste of irony
You'll be a too-hot baby, too good for me
But I'll be looking at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
Sparkling everywhere
You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me
'Cause you're dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
And you don't even know it
So little baby, you better stay set
Play with fire when you get too wet
So set me down and leave me be
You'll get a devil when you unchain me
But I'll be looking at you
With your long brown hair
Pretty little feet
Sparkling everywhere
You look so good
When you come my way
But I have to look down
When you talk to me
'Cause you're dangerous
Dangerous
Dangerous
And you don't even know it
David Letterman - by Charlie DeMars/ Voce by James Marsters
Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favorite t.v. personality?
Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,
five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman.
I know he knows you look up to him,
but you don't visit his sleep,
I know I know this is what I missed, your eyes are just for me,
really don't see how we could be, I still put trust in fate,
it's something slow that I don't know so I say...
Wouldn't it be nice, if I could be, David Letterman?
Wouldn't in be rad, if I could be, your favorite t.v. personality?
Wouldn't it be sweet, if I could laugh you to sleep,
five nights a week?
And I try as hard as I can,
but I could never be David Letterman.
Angel - by James Marsters
She comes home to me after a hard night's work
Falls in my arms and sleeps like a bird
Startle, wakes up, like she don't know me
Cocks back her fist like she's going to slug me
Like, who are you anyway
And what are you doing to me?
She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings,
But she can't feel 'em
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's flying above me every day
Every day of my life
Bright diamond eyes with daggers beneath them
She carries the chains of a million decisions
That weren't even hers to begin with anyway
But she carries them all
All the people around her
Never even notice that she's very very tired
She's an angel
But she can't see it
She's got wings
But she can't feel 'em
She's an angel
But she can't see it
But she's rising above me every day
Every day of my life
Valerie - by Steven Sellers/ Voce James Marsters
Got an old Smiths' record
and I put it on endlessly.
To mourn a lethal fascination
with a girl named Valerie.
She got a XXX rating
and maybe someday she'd have married me.
But, she was born to keep me waiting.
Her name was Valerie.
With a little more time, I was thinking
we could've worked my hooks into you.
Over a recent complication
I came to find that she'd tired of me.
She wrote the book of Revelations.
Her name was Valerie.
With a little more time, I was thinking
we could've worked my life around you.
With a little more time...
Mad Brilliant - by Charlie DeMars
We are bitter opposites, it stings when you hit
Me like a kick to the head when I heard what you said
Did you even consider, you are making us bitter
I guess you’re justified, because of your weak mind
When our lips first met, you didn’t get the hang of it
I bet that you still kiss like me,
you realize it when you hear this
You have managed to steer clear, for yet another whole year
Although I did see you, I only caught lies you threw
When you were there with the band,
acceptance letter not in hand
Hugging your “cool” boyfriend, did you ever tell him?
When our lips first met, you didn’t get the hang of it
I bet that you still kiss like me,
you realize it when you hear this
Realize it when you kiss
Call 911 - by Charlie DeMars
The sun no longer shines on your side
Remember this cold
When the fog won’t lift in your town
And you turn old
I heard you killed your only friend last year
You’re such a disease
You can buy your other friends
But you can’t buy me
Disarm, can you hear the British ambulance
Breaking down, trick, bomb still goes
Tick tick time on by, watching me explode
When did I create you?
Did you ever destroy me?
Can this be settled with questions?
I can’t think of anything.
I’m just a little boy with an untrained voice
But I have cannons for arms
I play the guitar and songs
With hidden missiles and bombs
Disarm, can you hear the British ambulance
Breaking down, trick, bomb still goes
Tick tick time on by, watching me explode
Blocking Brainwaves - by Charlie DeMars
Do you want to be happy?
Do you want to have fun?
Take on buried treasure
I could be the one.
Hear me, out here... hear me, out.
I can't describe
Just can't subscribe
I'm telling vision
Glad to be alive
You say I can't relate to you
Some things I need to prove
Can't find the right words to use
Brainwaves won't pass through
When I wake up from seizures on an island full of slaves
All I see is smiles from the lack of brainwaves
There is no thinking so I check my mind in at the door
Nothing to contemplate I won't need it anymore
Ignorance it must be bliss
Never dealing with things like this
Thinking happy comes from a kiss
Regret all you've missed
German Jewish - by Charlie DeMars
I'm German, you're Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I've got this problem, that seems to linger
Everytime I find myself around your finger
This would make more sence, in another time
Not in America where we're westernized
But if we were, what would I do
What would I have said to what we've gone through?
War won't stop me, I'm no Nazi
That's why i'd never tell
If you were fighting, surviving hiding
Behind an old bookshelf
I'm German, you're Jewish
How could we ever make it through this?
I've got this problem, that seems to linger
Everytime I find myself around your finger
you've always been above, in some higher class
i'm just a small rockstar, you're an actress
what could i say, to ever prove to you
that there can be a love between a German and a Jew?
War won't stop me, I'm no Nazi
That's why i'd never tell
If you were fighting, surviving hiding
Behind an old bookshelf.
Good Night Sweet Girl - by Charlie DeMars
Are we done for now,
Or is this for good,
Will there be something in time?
With us there should.
Only girl for me is you
There can be no other one
If I didn't have faith
I would come undone
So much promise in your eyes
Seems that I can only see
It always makes me wonder
If you save it all for me
Maybe you do
Maybe you don't
Maybe you should
Probably wont.
Because there will be...
There will be other guys
Who will whisper in your ear
Say they'll take away you sadness
And your fears
They may be kind and true
They may be good for you
But they'll never care for you
More than I do
I'll be always there
There to the end
I can't do much
But be your one true friend
To the end
Through the end
Our lives to spend
With each other till the end
Of time...
Still see the promise in your eyes
And still wonder if it's for me
But i know it's still there
Even when you sleep
So I say, good night sweet girl

Civilized Man
There are walls just to get to you
You can hit me till I’m black and blue
You set me up

Run away
Went to sleep a long time ago
Several years since I hurt anybody
Don’t wake me up
Let me sleep
Won’t do you no good
Just keep to myself
Yeah yeah ye-eh-eh
Nobody want a part of this
It’s hard to be a civilized man
Times a woman with just what I am
Woah catch yourself
Wanna wind up in jail?
Better smile and watch football
Civilised man
I ain’t no civilized man
Civilised man
Wasn’t born to be a civilized man
That’s it, I ain’t got no more to say
Long Time
I remember
What you told me
Last time I said I wanted you
A crooked smile played
'Cross your lips
And you said
Damn all you men are just the same
And it's been a long time
That's granted
But I bet you haven't changed
It's been a long time
Since I was okay, okay
Yeah
In the years we
Spent together
I fell in love with your honesty
You never told me that
Your sweet words
Were never meant to apply to me
And it's been a long time
That's granted
But I bet you haven't changed
It's been a long time
Since I was okay, okay
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala
Lalalalalala La
Lalala
Lala
You're so perfect
Put together
Liz your beauty is faultless
But what I thought was
Done for my eye
Was really building a fortress
And it's been a long time
That's granted
But I bet you haven't changed
It's been a long time
Since I was okay, okay
It's been a long time
It's been a long time
Patricia
She had a piano
And her hands danced lustfully on the keys
She has a pen and a paper
And she draws her favourite people and one is me
She wasn't s'posed to be cool
Now I'm her fool
But I don't care
She's given me a passkey
That has led me to woah
Patricia, Patricia
Patricia, Patricia
Small breast
curved hip
Dark eyes
Full lips
Small hands
Long arms
Touch me, I'm gone
Now please
Make your own cage
Now she wants out
Now she breaks out
Now I
Sit here and I sigh
'Cause the girl has gone back home to Germany
I can't
Break through
And get to
Patricia, Patricia
Patricia, Patricia
Patricia
Poor Robyn
It's over now
I think I get it
It's been years
Since I saw your face
But now I don't want to hear from you
I don't want to hear about anyone
Or anything
Named Robyn for a while
Goodbye the sea
Where you live
Goodbye the water
Keep my toes dry for a while
Nobody heard what you had to say
'Cause kisses whisper stay away
Don't make me feel
Like that again
Oh poor Robyn
Don't be scared
Let me hold you
Let me take you there
I want you so
I want you
I want you so
What
BAD
We met, we smiled
I put my arm around you
the camera flashed and it was over
my face was flush
you turned and walked away
but in my pocket was your number
and I'm thinking
who's that girl who smiles and hides at the same time
I really think she's got issues
the way she looks at me I can tell what a kiss brings
and if I taste her pain is that a crime
that night
we're upstairs in my room
I'm trying to ply you
with champagne and caviar
but you just wrinkle up your face
won't get off second base
I'm trippin' on how strong you are
oh my toes start dancing when you kiss me
you pull me down and I like it
hey my head explodes and I know something's hit me
you make me want to be BAD... YEAH
I am a monkey behind glass
turn on the lights have a laugh
get up you filthy thing and dance
and you would come across the sea
give me kisses that would speak
of your seven lonely oceans
who are you to smile and hide at the same time
I really like your issues
the way you look at me I can tell what a kiss brings
you make me want to be BAD... YEAH
Runaway
Hope I meet you on a good day
When I'm feeling all myself
Don't be startled if I runaway
Especially if you smile and really ring my bell
Hope you take it in a good way
when I show myself to you
I wouldn't worry about it anyway
I have soft skin and scars are nothing new
Please, no promises, don't wanna hear the words
Nothing you can say that I haven't already heard
Please, no promises, let's just pass the time
Come and sit with me and give me your eyes
We can find ourselves a quiet room
And let our hands run free
You can tickle underneath my arm
All the way down to behind my bended knee
Please, no promises, don't wanna hear the words
Nothing you can say that I haven't already heard
Please, no promises, let's just pass the time
Come and sit with me and give me your eyes
When we made ourselves that quiet place
And the world was just us two
I hope that you wont runaway
We can stay there
And make us something new.
Smile
In, I'm falling in
I didn't want to
Not so fast, boy
Slow,
Don't wanna hurt the girl
Get her a pretty box
You better fill it
And I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking into the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
And she just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles
Smiles
So, there we go again
And it feels so good
To fall up and down
Damn, it's 2 AM again
And she kisses me goodbye
For the sixteenth time
And I'm driving home, it's 5 AM
And I look at the sun come up over the hills
And the clouds are turning pink and green
And all I can see is her eyes
Eyes
Eyes
I get blinded when she opens the door
It's like looking into the sun, you know
And I'm just blinkin', mumblin', starin' at my shoes
She just looks at me
And smiles
Smiles
Smiles
Katie
I'm through with pastry,
No more sticky bun cherry tarts
I want a good girl
one who rocks but has a decent heart
Well I've been waiting
Now I'm sick of that
I think I saw you...
Katie, come out and play
I've got a present
For you today
It's got your name on it
I hope I spelled it right
Ohoh yeah
Ohoh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

Runnin down underneath her shirt
She wears long sleeves
So you can't guess what's on her
But the coolest one
She can't hide
Yeah the coolest one
Says Dad
Katie come out and play
I've got a secret for you today
I think you're pretty
I wanted you to know
Ohoh yeah
Ohoh yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

And I would never
Hit on her and make her life awry
But I don't care
I'll find another one
No I don't care
(spoken) Maybe she's got a best friend or something
Katie come out and play
I've got a secret for you today

LONDON CITY special
Meet me in London City
I've been pinin' on my own
And if you don't get through Heathrow
I just might die
I can't hide
I know I wasn't pleasant
And I guess I never tried
But if you join me in London
I'll try again
I'll try again
Meet me in London City
This tour's just not the same
All the hotel rooms are faceless
The faces strange
I know I wasn't pleasant
And I guess I never tried
But if you join me in London
We'll try again
We'll try again
Come to me in London City
I'll make it worth your journey
You're the only angel for me
And that's no lie
And that's no lie
This Town
(Music and Lyrics, James Marsters)
You don't even care
What they said about you.
And you ran away from there,
Made a home.
And you filled it
With a candle
On a cinder block
And a mattress on the floor.
This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours.
This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours.
Oh, oh, oh.
You'll find yourself a man.
He's swears he'll protect you
From the dark.
And you'll love him,
And you'll try a little harder,
And it feels good,
And you don't give a damn.
This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours.
This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours.
Oh, oh, oh.
Got a job at the hotel,
And the car runs good.
And Bill is moving out,
Got my place.
And I got me a plan
How to make a little money
And I'll take you along
If you'll just look at me.
This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours.
This town baby,
This town baby
Is gonna be ours.
Oh, oh, oh.

Episodio 6x07 Once more with feeling (La vita è un musical) Buffy the vampire slayer
Rest in peace
I died so many years ago
You can make me feel like it isn't so
And why you come to be with me
I think I finally know (mmm-mmm)
You're scared, ashamed of what you feel
And you can't tell the ones you love
You know they couldn't deal
Whisper in a dead man's ear
It doesn't make it real
That's great, but I don't wanna play
'Cause being with you touches me
More than I can say
And since I'm only dead to you
I'm saying stay away
And let me rest in peace
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
So let me rest in peace
You know you got a willing slave
And you just love to play the part
And you might misbehave
But till you do I'm telling you
Stop visiting my grave
And let me rest in peace
I know I should go
But I follow you like a man possessed
There's a traitor here beneath my breast
And it hurts me more than you've ever guessed
If my heart could beat it would break my chest
But I can see you're unimpressed
So leave me be and
Let me rest in peace
Let me get some sleep
Let me take my love and bury it
In a hole six foot deep
I can lay my body down
But I can't find my sweet release
Let me rest in peace
Why won't you let me rest in peace?
TRADUZIONE
Sono morto
così tanti anni fa
Tu mi fai sentire
che non è così
E il perché vieni qui da me
Penso di aver capito...
mmm-mmm
Hai paura
vergogna di cio’ che provi
E non puoi dirlo a chi ami
Sai che non lo sopporterebbero
Sussurare nell'orecchio di un morto
Non lo rende reale...
Grande
ma non voglio partecipare
Perche’ star con te mi turba
Piu’ di quanto possa dire
E dato che per te sono solo un morto
Ti dico stammi lontano
Lasciami riposare in pace
Lasciami riposare in pace
Lasciami dormire
Lascia che prenda il mio amore e lo seppellisca
In una fossa profonda 6 piedi
Il mio corpo puo’ giacere
Ma non posso trovare abbandono...
Così lasciami riposare in pace
Lo sai
di avere un schiavo devoto
E ti piace poter pensare
Che potresti comportarti male
Finche' fai cosi'
ti dico
Smettila di visitare la mia tomba
Lasciami riposare in pace
So che dovrei andarmene
Invece ti seguo come un posseduto
C'è un traditore qui nel mio petto
E mi fa male più ti quanto tu possa immaginare
Se li mio cuore battesse mi spezzerebbe il petto...
Ma vedo che non sei colpita,
Allora lasciami stare e
Lasciami riposare in pace
Lasciami dormire
Lascia che prenda il mio amore e lo seppellisca
In una fossa profonda 6 piedi
Il mio corpo puo’ giacere
Ma non posso trovare abbandono...
Lasciami riposare in pace.
Perche’ non mi
lasci riposare in pace?
