yazoo - don t go

Letra Original
Artista: Yazoo
Música: Don't Go

Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when
I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Said he was a killer,
Now I know it's true
I'm dead when you walk out the door
Hey babe I'm hooked on you

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Baby make your mind up give me what you got
Fix me with your lovin'
Shut the door and turn the lock
Hey go get the doctor, doctor came to late
Another night I feel alright
My love for you can't wait

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go

Came in from the city walked into the door
I turned around when
I heard the sound of footsteps on the floor
Love just like addiction now
I'm hooked on you
I need some time to get it right
Your love gonna see me through

Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Can't stop now
Don't you know I ain't never gonna let you go
Don't go
Don't go
Don't go

Letra Traduzida (Translated to Portuguese)
Artista: Yazoo
Música: Não Vá

Chegando da cidade bati na porta
Eu me virei quando
Ouvi o som de passos no chão
Amor apenas como um vício
Eu estou amarrado em você
Eu preciso de tempo para fazer isto certo
Seu amor vai me ver

Refrão
Não possa parar agora
Você não sabe que eu nunca te deixarei ir
Não vá

Baby, se decida e me de o que você tem
Me concerte com seu amor
Feche a porta e vire a fechadura
Ei vá receber o doutor, o doutor chegou tarde
Outra noite eu sinto que está tudo bem
Meu amor por você não pode esperar

Refrão

Chegando da cidade bati na porta
Eu me virei quando
Ouvi o som de passos no chão
Ele disse que foi um assassino,
Agora eu sei que isto é verdade
Eu estarei morto quando você sair pela porta
Eu estou atado em você

Refrão

yazoo - tuesday

Woman of thirty seeing the sun
Packed up her suitcase started to run
Looking for someone looking for none
Pack up and drive away
It was her birthday Tuesday morning
Realisation gradually dawning
A man in a grey suit whispered 'I'm calling'
Pack up and drive away
Woman of thirth, husband and kids
Chained like a dog she had to rid
No point in coping off came the lid
Pack up and drive away
Three thousand miles of honesty dreaming
Perfect imagery is a gleaming
No more shattered clouds were deeming
Pack up and drive away
In her heart it wasn't easy
Mumbled words and feeling dizzy
Reasons fight against excuses
Mothers have their ways and uses
Driving slower she was losing
Dream was stirring only dozing
Eyelids awaken to the daytime
Just an illusion broken sunshine
Woman of thirty there's no choice
I can't help your helpless voice

yazoo - and on

Your mother was crying
Your father passed her a handkerchief
Their tear-stained faces
Looked to mine for a sign of grief
A thousand raincoats
Always stand around too long
But I stayed to talk with you
After they had gone.

The flowers I brought you
Were beginning to fade under the heavy rain
Your name on the card had run
So I tried in vain to write it again
They didn't understand you - No!
They didn't even try
I'm so glad that you left us now
Before you had the chance to die.

I sat there for a long time,
Expecting to turn and see you there
I ran my fingers through the long grass
Willing it to turn into your hair - and oh
I'm gonna miss you, dear
But I don't have to cry
I'm so glad that you left us now,
Before you had the chance to die
And oh, I'm going to miss you dear,
But I'm not going to cry
I'm so glad that your life stopped now,
Before it had the chance to die.

yazoo - anyone

Fate took a freeway to my room
Said to much while he stayed
And left too soon.
Bright on an evening sea,
Washed in with the tide
Deep in each other's dreams
Where all but dreams had died.

Wretched in your thoughts
Gentle hate within the love you brought.
Words fade like flowers shadowed
There beneath your wall
Wind cries from every angle
Dead leaves left to wait for fall.

And in my darkest hour
When I can find no light
My goals are out of sight
And nothing warms the night.
I close my eyes
And with such sweet surprise
I can be anywhere
I can be anyone.

And in my darkest hour
When I can find no light
My goals are out of sight
And nothing warms the night.
I close my eyes
And with such sweet surprise
I can be anywhere
I can be anything
I can be anyone
I can be anyone.

yazoo - bad connection

Morning this morning the curtains are shut
I'll ring you in the morning but the phone's been cut
Can you hear me
I've been calling all day
Can you hear me
The radio reporter said the line's all dead
He told me that I oughta write a letter instead
Can you hear me
I've been calling all day
Can you hear me

Chorus
I'd wish they'd fix the wires cause my baby don't know
That I'm leaving in the morning and I'm ready to go
Can you hear me
Can you hear me at all
Gotta get the operator make a telephone call

And if I write a letter it won't get there on time
I'll only reach you baby on the telephone line
Can you hear me
I've been calling all day
Can you hear me
My car's all ready and my bags are all packed
I'm late already and I won't be back
Can you hear me
I've been calling you all day
Can you hear me

(Repeat chorus)

Ooo can you hear me

yazoo - before e except after c

yazoo - goodbye seventies

To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your headache to the shape of the 1980's
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of playing in your fashion war

To the lights to the trend setting in your head
Sunday night tears from youth cults already dead
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of fighting in your fashion war

Chorus
Goodbye Seventies

To your credit to the thirty faces you created
To your subscription for the million copies of 1980
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more
I'm tired of losing in your fashion war

Repeat chorus

yazoo - bring you re love down

You say it's time to leave now babe I can't believ
That you have the strenght to go now
I won't stand in your way I'd be standing there all day
Ain't that something we both know now
You play your games but the fact remains
I'm the only one that can hold your reins

Chorus
Didn't I bring your love down
Didn't I bring your love down all night

If you think you need a change well I'm sure we can arrange
For you to get on your own for a while
But I don't need to worry 'cause you'll get back in a hurry
I know that you like my style
You play your games but the fact remains
I'm the only one that can hold your reins

Chorus

yazoo - good times

Sometimes I feel,
I'll never belong
I want to get there so bad
But it's taking so long
Sometimes I feel
Like letting go
But when it comes right down to it, baby
Who wants to know? (No-one)
(Chorus)
And I find (for a good time)
I'm knocking for a good time (for a good time)
Now I find (for a good time)
I'm knocking for a good time (for a good time)
Standing on the outside
I'm looking in
Trying to be heard
I don't know where to begin
Help me baby show me how
To be a part of it all and all
Right here - and now
(Chorus)
Hands are full of silver
My pockets full of gold
It's time I'm trying to spend
And I can't get myself sold
I'm a bargain honey
I'm a giveaway
And you can have it all
If you'd use up my day.
(Chorus repeat)

yazoo - goodbye 70 s

Sunday night tears from youth cults already dead
I'm glad that we don't hear you any more

yazoo - happy people

Take no notice 'cos I'm just the same
There's a thousand other faces with the very same name
And we look like each other, and we all live together.
We talk about the same things
And we never try and change things.
(Chorus)
We're the happy, happy people
(repeat)
We never give opinions and we never state views
After all, you can't be sure that what we say is true
And if you want to join us, you can follow on behind us.
You can talk about your visions
You can make some big decisions.
(Chorus repeat)
We believe in having fun and smiling all the time
And sometimes we're on TV if we're over 69
And when we have a raffle, then it's just a big reshuffle.
It's a democratic poll
But we're the ones who are in control.
(Chorus repeat)

yazoo - in my room

I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
And in the room locked up inside me
The cutout magazines remind me
I sit and wait alone in my room

And in my room against the wall
There is a picture very small
A photograph I took some years ago
It shows a picture of the room I know
I sit and wait alone in my room

Chorus
The walls are white and in the night
The room is lit by electric light

I stand alone and watch the clock
I only wait for it to stop
The doors are shut and all the windows lock
The only sound is from the clock
I sit and wait alone in my room

Repeat chorus

yazoo - midnight

Midnight it's raining outside he must be soaking wet
Everyone is sleeping tight God knows I tried my best
Darling you know it looks bad
Just lost the best thing that I ever had
Still I don't know why I did him wrong
It's too late now he's gone to say

Chorus
Baby oh no, can't leave me now
Said think about it please
'Cos I love you and I need you
And I should have thought of that before I did you wrong

Heartache, heartache yeah
When I saw his face I could see how bad I'd let him down
Cheating when he was working hard, I just had to mess around
I knew from the start he ain't got much money
I should have stayed content with all that good sweet honey
He's a good strong man and I love him so
so how on earth can I let him go

Repeat chorus

And now it's midnight it's raining outside
And I'm soaking wet, still looking for that man of mine
And I ain't found him yet
Well all of this rain can wash away my tears
But nothing can replace all of those wasted years
In all of this I tell you I have learnt
Playing with fire gets you burnt
And I'm still burning

Repeat chorus

You say you'll lose your pride
Well don't you know dear, don't you know
I'll lose so much more if you go now
Oh no...

yazoo - mr blue

Winter sounds the crying
Like an old man slowly dying
And the only sound, the wind that fills the trees
Even colder comes the moon
And though it never seems too soon
A sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze

(Chorus)
I'm Mr. Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely - I'll be lonely too

(Repeat)

A young girl, she is shaded
Bears the scars that never faded
Of the baby that was born on Christmas Day
While the heavens sing their song
A child's life is never long
'Cos the food supplies will only last a day

(Chorus repeat)

Patriot emotion, is the cause of the commotion
After all there's really no-one here to blame
Soldiers taking orders, 'cos we must defend the borders
Of our nation (and the other side's the same)

(Chorus repeat)

I'll come to you at night
When all the world is sleeping tight
And lie beside you, 'til the early morning dew
You can't hear me, you can't see
But you can feel me when you read
The folded letter she left addressed to you

(Chorus repeat)

yazoo - nobody s diary

If I wait for just a second more
I know I'll forget what I came here for.
My head was so full of things to say

But as I open my lips all my words slip away
and anyway
I can't believe you want to turn the page

And move your life onto another stage.
You can change the chapter
you can change the book

But the story remains the same if you'd take a look.
For the times we've had - I don't want to be - a page in your diary
babe.
For the good
the bad - I don't want to see - a page in your diary
babe.
For the happy
the sad - I don't want to be another page in your diary.
Perhaps if I held you I could win again

I could take your hands we'd talk and maybe then -
That look in your eyes
I always recognize

Would tell me everything is gonna be fine.
Your gonna be mine for a long time.

For the times we've had - I don't want to be - a page in your diary
babe.
