Damien Rice - Older chests
I don't own the song, nor the picture. Older chests reveal themselves Like a crack in a wall Starting small, and grow in time And we all seem to need the help Of someone else To mend that shelf of too many books Read me your favourite line Papa went to other lands And he found someone who understands The ticking, and the western man's need to cry He came back the other day, yeah you know Some things in life may change And some things They stay the same Like time, there's always time On my mind So pass me by, I'll be fine Just give me time Older gents sit on the fence With their cap in hand Looking grand They watch their city change Children scream, or so it seems, Louder than before Out of doors, into stores with bigger names Mama tried to wash their faces But these kids they lost their graces And daddy lost at the races too many times She broke down the other day, yeah you know Some things in life may change And some things they stay the same Like time, time, there's always time On my mind So pass me by, I'll be fine Just give me time, Time, there's always time On my mind Pass me by, I'll be fine Just give me time

Damien Rice - Dogs
None of this is mine! Enjoy :) She lives with an orange tree The girl that does yoga She picks the dead ones from the ground When we come over And she gives I get Without getting anything to me Like a morning sun Like a morning Like a morning sun Good good morning sun The girl that does yoga He lives in a little house On the side of a little hill Picks the litter from the ground Litter little brother spills He gives I get Without giving anything to me And the dogs they run And the dogs they And the dogs they run In the good good morning sun Side of a little hill The litter little brother spills The side of a little hill Oh and she's always dressed in white She's like an angel and she burns my eyes Oh and she turns she pulls a smile We drive her round and she drives us wild Oh and she moves like a little girl I become a child and she moves my world And she gets splashed in pain and turns away and leaves me standing She lives with an orange tree The girl that does yoga Got a wolf to keep her warm When he comes over She gives He gets Without giving anything to see And the day ends And the day it And the day ends And there's no need for me The girls that does yoga When we come over The girls that does yoga
Damien Rice - Accidental Babies
Well I held you like a lover Happy hands and your elbow in the appropriate place And we ignored our others, happy plans For that delicate look upon your face Our bodies moved and hardened Hurting parts of your garden With no room for a pardon In a place where no one knows what we have done Do you come Together ever with him? And is he dark enough? Enough to see your light? And do you brush your teeth before you kiss? Do you miss my smell? And is he bold enough to take you on? Do you feel like you belong? And does he drive you wild? Or just mildly free? What about me? Well you held me like a lover Sweaty hands And my foot in the appropriate place And we use cushions to cover Happy glands In the mild issue of our disgrace Our minds pressed and guarded While our flesh disregarded The lack of space for the light-hearted In the boom that beats our drum Well I know I make you cry And I know sometimes you wanna die But do you really feel alive without me? If so, be free If not, leave him for me Before one of us has accidental babies For we are in love Do you come Together ever with him? Is he dark enough? Enough to see your light? Do you brush your teeth before you kiss? Do you miss my smell? And is he bold enough to take you on? Do you feel like you belong? And does he drive you wild? Or just mildly free? What about me? What about me?
Damien Rice - Creep cover
Disclaimer: You can find the photo here laurazalenga.deviantart.com It's obvious I don't own the song. When you were here before, Couldn't look you in the eye You're just like an angel, Your skin makes me cry You float like a feather In a beautiful world I wish I was special You're so very special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here I don't care if it hurts, I wanna have control I want a perfect body I want a perfect soul I want you to notice when I'm not around You're so very special I wish I was special But I'm a creep I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here, ohhhh, ohhhh She's running out again She's running out She run run run run... run... run... Whatever makes you happy Whatever you want You're so very special I wish I was special But I'm a creep, I'm a weirdo What the hell am I doin' here? I don't belong here I don't belong here...
Damien Rice Cheers darlin
Cheers darlin' Here's to you and your lover boy Cheers darlin' I got years to wait around for you Cheers darlin' I've got your wedding bells in my ear Cheers darlin' You gave me three cigarettes to smoke my tears away And I die when you mention his name And I lied, I should have kissed you When we were runnin' in the rain What am I darlin'?

Cheers darlin' Here's to you and your lover man Cheers darlin' I just hang around and eat from a can Cheers darlin' I got a ribbon of green on my guitar Cheers darlin' I got a beauty queen To sit not very far from me I die when he comes around To take you home I'm too shy I should have kissed you when we were alone What am I darlin'?

Damien Rice - The rat within the grain
I just realized I could as well paste the lyrics to make it easier :) Enjoy! This would not have happened If I hadnt missed my plane I would've been there when they told you Im the Rat within the grain Within this big misunderstanding now and Im being misunderstood I'm thinking someone's trying to fuck with me And set fire to my wood I wouldnt want you to want To be wanted by me I wouldnt want you to worry That You'd be drowned within my sea I only wanted to be wonderful And wonderful is true In truth I only really wanted To be wanted by you Its a stupid situation now Where everything goes wrong If you can't tell if Im lying Then you do not belong In my bed Go rest your head Upon the bones of a bigger man He can cover you with rock wool And you can close up like a clam Because I wouldnt want you to want To be wanted by me I wouldnt want you to worry You'd be drowned within my sea I only wanted to be wonderful And wonderful is true In truth I only really wanted To be wanted by you So go play with your piano And write a mediocre song About the shell of mediocrity And pretend theres nothing wrong I never thought You where a chicken shit I never thought of you at all Until you ask me to be part of it And now you're showing me your wall I wouldnt want you to want To be wanted by me I wouldnt want you to worry You be drowned within my sea I only wanted to be wonderful And wonderful is true In truth I only really wanted To be wanted by you In truth I only really wanted To be <b>...</b>
Juniper (Damien Rice) - Down
I don't own anything you guys :) Break it all apart You're naked: frozen Did you ever want to work with me Did you ever let your baby down, my back You're shaking though relaxed Did you feel the drops of rain? Tell me cause I need to play you Down, I'm sure there's something here Maybe my anger Down, it's over to you my dear The fuckers will take you Down, the frozen arrow The fuckers will take you Down, the suckers beg for skin The fuckers will taint you Down, where the water's shallow Then they'll watch you drown And you'll blame your sleep Your fate: stolen, you're naked: open Did you ever want to wed me? Is it why you let your baby down 'Cause I'm back Shaking but you're relaxed Did you feel the drops of pain Tell me 'cause I need to play you Down, I'm sure there's something there Maybe my anger Down, it's over to you my dear The fuckers will take you Down, the frozen arrow The fuckers will take you Down, the suckers beg for skin The fuckers will taint you Down, where the water's shallow Then they'll watch you drown And you'll blame your... Down, the frozen arrow Down, the suckers beg for skin Down, where the water's shallow Down, and you'll blame your...
Damien Rice - Grey room (unofficial)
Disclaimer : ... you know, nothing belongs to me, blah blah blah :) Enjoy! Well I've been here before Sat on the floor in a grey grey room Where I stay in all day I don't eat, but I play with this grey grey food Desolé, if someone is prayin' then I might break out, Desolé, even if I scream I can't scream that loud I'm all alone again Crawling back home again Stuck by the phone again Well I've been here before Sat on a floor in a grey grey mood Where I stay up all night And all that I write is a grey grey tune So pray for me child, just for a while That I might break out yeah Pray for me child Even a smile would do for now 'Cause I'm all alone again Crawling back home again Stuck by the phone again Have I still got you to be my open door Have I still got you to be my sandy shore Have I still got you to cross my bridge in this storm Have I still got you to keep me warm If I squeeze my grape and I drink my wine Coz if I squeeze my grape and I drink my wine Oh coz nothing is lost, it's just frozen in frost, And it's opening time, there's no-one in line But I've still got me to be your open door, I've still got me to be your sandy shore I've still got me to cross your bridge in this storm And I've still got me to keep you warm Warmer than warm, yeah Warmer than warm, yeah Warmer than warm, yeah Warmer than warm, yeah
Damien Rice - Fool
Picture here : ahermin.deviantart.com If you leave me now It's not that I can't take it It's just that somehow I think you'd break it So much beyond repair Like pulling out my hair And poisoning the roots A gun that never shoots again And if you leave me now And take him deep within your throne Like you did when you were coming home And you did again in Mexico And again before you go And I believed your lies, your lies, your lies So turn and walk away I've overspoken Said all that I can say I know that I can kneel And I could cry And I know that I could show you how I died But what good would it do? Give the world another fool If you're gonna stay Don't just say it Stay, really stay I don't want any more goodbyes Any more disguise No more tossing coins Or him between your loins And if you're gonna stay I'll place you high upon a hill And with my hands I'll build a tower in your name And you will do the same Won't you my love? Won't you my love? Won't you my love? Or just turn and walk away I've overspoken Said all that I can say I know that I can kneel And kiss your feet Walk ahead and clear the street So you don't have to meet.. him But what good would it do? Give the world another fool Turn and walk away Cause I've overspoken Now what more can I say? I know that I can kneel And I can cry I know, I know That I can show you how I died Now what good would it do? Give the world another fool Just sitting on this stool I'm close to giving up on you
Damien Rice - Bottom Shelf
I take myself from the bottom shelf And I reel my troubles in And I put them up on a higher hill To a place I've never been And I'll wait for you if you want me to Am I just wasting my time? And I'll wait for you if you ask me to Am I just losing my mind? And I'm always hanging on And I'm always closing doors And I'm always saying no No, when I really really want it all When I really really want it all When I really really want it all When I really really want you And I'll take myself from the bottom shelf And I'm on the street again But it's the newer town, and the rain come down In a place I?ve never been And I play for you if you ask me to Am I just wasting my time? Yeah I play for you if you want me to Am I just losing my mind? 'Cause I'm always hanging on And I'm always closing doors And I'm always saying no When I really really want it all When I really really want you When I really really want it all I really really really want Yeah I really really want it all When I really really wanted you I take myself from the bottom shelf And I reel my troubles in And I put them up on a higher hill To a place I've never been And I'll play for you if you want me to I just wasting my time? And I'll play for you if you ask me to Am I just losing my mind? Am I just losing my mind? Am I just losing my mind? Am I just losing? Picture here : browse.deviantart.com
Damien Rice - Sand
Aaaand the lyrics : You keep me in a glass jar sealed with a label You think you know my world Wake up young girl, you've got a lot to learn My love, my life, my work, my time I give them all to you Your hand in mine we walk, we talk in ryhme We go the whole night through I'm not a grain of sand I don't care what's written in your hand It's bound to change Sore, bored, and I'm lost, cost, cold Getting older Wrap it up, rip it up now Have it sold I'm a grower Any more, any more, any more, any more... I wanna be with you Just wanna be with you But you tease me And it shows in the way that you play You think you know my love Wake up young girl And take a taste Not a bite, not a bite of a life now Can tell you never come, yeah well My will, my mind My lips, my lines I've got them all over you Your taste combined With all the years of wasting time I've got a hold on something new I'm not a grain of sand I don't care what's written in your hand Cause it's bound to change So I'm bored, and I'm lost, cost, cold Getting older Buy the book, rip it up now Have it sold, I'm a grower Any more, any more, any more, any more I wanna be with you Just wanna be with you I don't wanna pray for what is not right And I don't wanna beg for what is not mine I don't wanna rock the road between dreams and worldly things I could charge, and I could really try But I don't wanna be the brave one In a senseless fight I, I, I just wanna be here tonight Sore, bored, and I'm lost, cost, cold Getting <b>...</b>
