The songs we sing go round and round
Hoy, a petición popular, y por primera vez en Internet... pondré algunas viejas letras de los Immaculate Fools. No creo que le vaya a sentar mal al viejo Kevin (Ray) Weatherhill. Total, casi todos sus discos están descatalogados, e incluso hay algunas canciones que jamás llegaron a ser editadas en CD, como las del primer LP, Hearts of Fortune. Auténtico vinilo de lo mejorcito. Los Fools siempre seguirán tocando en nuestros corazones.
Para ver las letras, pincha en los Comentarios o en este enlace, al post completo.
P.S.: El título del post, por supuesto, es un verso de The Wonder of Things.

Hearts of Fortune
On they came with curious mind,
with vision and grace of child
Through the velvet veil of hope,
gentle souls, choked with rope
And they found their pleasure in truth
which they carved in the hearts of men
But the hearts of men were false
A waste of time, a waste of breath.
Hearts of fortune
Carry me with you
Hearts of Fortune
Run run run
Hearts of fortune
Run run.
On they fought with lyrical cause,
but their handsome hearts were torn
When they saw that love was lost,
brilliant victim, covered in shame
Many are the hands that sweat
Many are the hearts that roam
Through laughter, tears and pain,
Carry you away, carry you home.
Hearts of fortune
Carry me with you
Hearts of Fortune
Run run run
Hearts of fortune
Run run.
Prince and poet and beast,
bitterness, pride and peace,
gather them with you close.
Dance as one
Dance with me
Oh dance with me!
Hearts of fortune
Carry me with you
Hearts of Fortune
Carry me with you
Hearts of Fortune
Carry me with you
Hearts of Fortune
Run run run
Hearts of fortune
Run run.
Immaculate fools
We talk of changes, we talk of many things!
When there is sadness we rearrange the dream
Those tainted promises, they fade and die
We forget so easily the love inside.
We are enchanted
We are immaculate
We are selected
(bis)
I looked out my window, thought I heard you come
Looked inside my mirror to see what I had done
Faith, hope and charity, they passed you by
Call them now, they come with you , get side by side.
We are enchanted
We are immaculate
We are selected
(bis)
Immaculate fools
(bis)
That pretty tune is at the end, it’s up to you and me again
All the things that I don’t need always seem to follow me
Everyday is a holiday, sink or swim
Laughing as the children doubt, we shall leave again.
We’ll leave again!
We are enchanted
We are immaculate
We are selected
(bis)
Immaculate fools
(repeat to fade)
What about me?
A handful of promise
A bucketful of tears
You cry in the night
Nobody hears
Preachers and fools
got too much to say
They had you believed
that night time was day
What about me? Hey, what about me?
(repeat)
Too many pieces
that just don’t fit
All the stupid little questions
that never twist
Your life,
such a precious seed
But for the kings and the princes,
you’re just one more empty deed
What about me? Hey, what about me?
(repeat to fade)
Searching for sparks
Will you die for your country?
Will you bleed for your team?
Leave home and live by strangers?
Surrender all your dreams?
Will you live by the sword?
Will you die by the gun?
Will you always leave forever
like ten thousand shining suns?
Keep on searching for sparks!
(repeat)
Will you never have to question
what is right and what is wrong?
Waiting for your glory call?
Hope it’s not too long
So speak so merrily gently
Let nothing be disturbed
Walk sideways as you pass on by
and nothing will occur!
Keep on searching for sparks!
(repeat)
The Monna Lisa’s missing!
The King has lost his head!
Nothing ever changes!
Everything’s the same!
Everything’s the same!
Everything’s the same!
Keep on searching for sparks!
(repeat to fade)
Save it
You drowned in so many smiles
You followed every whim
You opened up your heart to them
But you would not let them in
The cute little dancer with the alligator shoes
She wanted everything
But everything was loose
She tried to hang it all ‘round you
Save it, save it, save it for the right one!
Save it, save it, save it for the right one!
Save it for the right one!
Love is never on time
It hides in every heart
It bends and twists
It shakes its fist
It calls for you
Tears you apart
You stumbled in poetry
Girl don’t come
Abandoned in a lover’s well
Where is the love?
Who lives inside of love?
Save it, save it, save it for the right one!
Save it, save it, save it for the right one!
Save it for the right one!
Nothing means nothing
I’m so disgusted
I’m not amused
You got me on the inside
You put me out of tune
Always looking at the other men
See what prizes he’s collected
Do we count it all in tears and pain,
or monuments erected?
Everything! Everything is measured with money!
Nothing! Nothing means nothing anymore!
Everything! Everything is measured with money!
Nothing means nothing anymore!
No, no!
Oh, pass it by!
Oh let it be!
Steal the seeds
And set them free
You’ve got the word
I’ve got the pain
You’ve got the privilege
I take the blame
Everything! Everything is measured with money!
Nothing! Nothing means nothing anymore!
Everything! Everything is measured with money!
Nothing means nothing anymore!
No, no!
You’re walking on thin air
You’re stepping on thin ice
A slippy, slippy slide
All the way down,
down down down!
Everything! Everything is measured with money!
Nothing! Nothing means nothing anymore!
Everything! Everything is measured with money!
Nothing means nothing anymore!
(repeat to fade)
Sad
Love is full of accidents, the break is never clean
We may not capture what we wanted, just the things we need
Untie this knot inside this mind and set this spirit free
There's another trail of tears, they all lead back to me
So sad, so sad
The things we never had
So sad, so sad
So sad
Hide your love and guard it well, curse that sweet disease
Protect every fading truth, brave hearts may touch their dreams
I will always be this way, I can not deceive
When I turn to face mayself, you're not here with me
So sad, so sad
The things we never had
So sad, so sad
So sad
Wretched are the feint of heart when all their truths unfold!
The thieves of love they caught us up when we were lying low!
Ow ow ow ow ow ow oh!
So sad, so sad
The things we never had
So sad, so sad
So sad
So sad, so sad, so sad
So sad, so sad.
So sad
The Prince
You looked in from the ocean
I looked out from the shore
Curious and captive
I walked upon your door
You stood aside, you let me in
Your house was warm and dry
You gave me things I did not need
These things I leave behind
Save a prince for her!
Save a tear for me!
And let her prince be everything
That I could never be
Save a prince for her!
Save a prince for her!
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la!
If you hold on to your perfection
I'll hold on to mine
I'll be faithful to your beauty
The healing comes in time
So hold me like a mountain
Hold me like dust
The things I want are out of reach
But reach for them I must
Save a prince for her!
Save a tear for me!
And let her prince be everything
That I could never be
Save a prince for her!
Save a prince for her!
La la la la la
La la la la la
La la la la la la la la la la la la la la la!
Come On Jayne
Well, OK, Jayne, so he put a scar across your heart
OK, so he never said goodbye
She left you asleep, your blanket on you feet
Gone like a thief in the night!
The letter he left was the poor second best
To having him there by your side
You feel empty and dry
There's a hole in your life
And your bed feels a hundred feet wide!
Come on Jayne
Don't hide yourself away
Jayne!
Come on Jayne!
Well, OK Jayne, so you're not feeling too good
OK, so you're hurting inside
But there's a life to live and there's battles to be won
And we'll come along from the ride!
Some things change so you turn another page
So dry all those tears from your eyes!
The pain that you feel must now turn on its heel
So put on your wings and let's fly
Come on Jayne
Don't hide yourself away
Jayne!
Come on Jayne!
Hang all your tears on hooks in the sky
Soft winds shall blow, they'll soon be dry
So come on Jayne
Come on Jayne
Come on Jayne!
Come on Jayne
Don't hide yourself away
Jayne!
Come on Jayne!
Come on Jayne
All these things may change
Jayne!
Come on Jayne!
Come on Jayne!
O come on Jayne!
Rain
(Esta canción es de los Beatles, pero Kevin la cantaba como nadie)
When the rain comes
They run and hide their heads
And might as well be dead
When the rain comes
When the rain comes
When the sun shines
They slip into the shade
And sip their lemonade
When the sun shines
When the sun shines
Rain
I don't mind
Shine
The weather's fine
I can show you
That when it starts to rain
Everything is just the same
I can show you
I can show you
Rain
I don't mind
Shine
The weather's fine
Can you hear me?
That when it rains or shines
It's just a state of mind
Can you hear me?
Can you hear me?
Rain
I don't mind
Shine
The weather's fine
Profit for prophets
That clown disciples
Are knocking at my door again
I don't want your bible
Don't even want to be your friend
Come back tomorrow
But I still won't let you in
Profit for prophets
Hail on the new God
Empty your pockets and pray
You will be saved
Saved
Saved
Heaven is easy
If you can put a price on your sins
If you smile sweetly
I'm sure that they will let you in
Here comes salvation
Queue here for your wings
Profit for prophets
Hail on the new God
Empty your pockets and pray
You will be saved
Saved
Saved!
The Leaving Song
With kings and fools and knaves in tow
The leaving song has far to go
They shake your head and rattle your bones
With shallow truths and hollow hopes.
The leaving song, the leaving song, the leaving song
The leaving song, the leaving song, the leaving song.
If this winter is hard where will you go?
The snow may fall and the wind may blow
On a pair of good boots ans a brand new coat
the eyes may feast but the purse can't own.
The leaving song, the leaving song, the leaving song
The leaving song, the leaving song, the leaving song.
You could sail to France on a leaky boat
Go down to Spain and warm your toes
Take a long time if you go by road
But time is tall when you're on your own
The leaving song, the leaving song, the leaving song
The leaving song, the leaving song, the leaving song.
So wipe your tears and blow your nose
Curse this life you never chose
Curse this rain, curse this friend and foe
Come on boots. Steady we go
The leaving song, the leaving song, the leaving song
The leaving song, the leaving song, the leaving song.
The Wonder of Things
There's an ancient rage that lives in me
as old as rain, as old as dreams.
I can't stop now, I'm in too deep
I lose myself in the wonder of things
There's a faultless god who counts my sins
He follows me around on devil's wings
But I don't care what he thinks of me
Not when I lose myself in the wonder of things
There's a handsome witch who sits by me
Her magic tricks for all my needs
While I sleep she paints my dreams
We lose ourselves in the wonder of things
Where we walk is sacred ground
The songs we sing go round and round
You can't catch me. No, you don't know how!
Not when I lose myself in the wonder of things
Throw your arms wide, embrace all things
From small to tall, from fat to thin
Catch them all, toe to chin
And lose yourselves in the wonder of things
