Over

I can't hold this day

Anymore

Understand me

Anymore

To tread this fantasy, openly

What have I done

Ooh this uncertainty, is taking me over

I can't mould this stage

Anymore

Recognise me

Anymore

To tread this fantasy, openly

What have I done

Ooh this uncertainty, is taking me over

is taking me over

To tread this fantasy, openly

What have I done

Ooh this uncertainty, is taking me over

is taking me over

Portishead

Humming

Closer

No hesitation

Give me

All that you have

 

And it's been so long, that I can't explain

And it's been so wrong

Right now, so wrong

 

Naked

My thoughts are creeping

Too late

The show has begun

'Cause it's been so long, that I can't confess

And it's been so wrong

Right now so wrong

Is it all as it seems

So unresolved, so unredeemed

If I remain, how will I know

 

'Cause it's been so long, that I can't be sure

And it's been so wrong

Right now, so wrong

Portishead

Strangers

 Can anybody see the light

Where the morn meets the dew and the tide rises

Did you realise, 

no one can see inside your view

Did you realise, 

for why this sight belongs to you

Just set aside your fears of life

Thru this sole desire

Done it warning

Done it now

This ain't real

On in this side

Did you realise, 

no one can ever see inside you view

Did you realise,

forewhy this sight belongs to you

Portishead

Roads and Tunnels

Oh, can't anybody see,

We've got a war to fight,

Never found our way,

Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,

From this moment,

How can it feel, this wrong.

Storm,

In the morning light,

I feel,

No more can I say,

Frozen to myself.

I got nobody on my side,

And surely that ain't right,

Surely that ain't right.

Oh, can't anybody see,

We've got a war to fight,

Never found our way,

Regardless of what they say.

How can it feel, this wrong,

From this moment,

How can it feel, this wrong.

Portishead

Western Eyes

Forgotten throes of an-others life

The heart of love is their only light

Faithless greeds, consolidating

Holding down sweet charity

With western eyes and serpents breath

We lay our own conscience to rest

But I'm aching at the view

Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you

They have values of a certain taste

The innocent they can hardly wait

To crucify, invalidating

Turning to dishonesty

With western eyes and serpents breath

They lay their own conscience to rest

But then they lie and then they dare to be

Hidden heroes candidly

So I'm aching at the view

Yes I'm breaking at the scenes just like you

I feel so cold on hookers and gin

..this mess we're in...

Portishead

Half Day Closing

In the days, the golden days

When everybody knew what they wanted

It ain't here today

Through the times of lasting love

When parents talked of things tried and tested

It don't feel the same

Underneath the fading sun

The silent sum of a businessman

Has left us choking

Dreams and belief have gone

Time, life itself goes on

Portishead

The cat in the sky

Looking out, looking in

Going where

Never been running round

Hiding in stairs

Unafraid felt the grain

Open doorways full of shame

My own life

I resented

Winter sigh summer's gone

Holding off tomorrow's sorrow

Brushing out, brushing in

Losing out, losing thee

Didn't take my heart

Didn't fold, chase the tear

Never let go, now I'm there

It's over, it's over

Winter sigh, summer's gone

Holding off tomorrow's sorrow

So I don't want anymore
