The Best Of Clan Of Xymox  2004

   

Back Door

I am shrouded in darkness
I crouched in wasted years
I lingered, I can't get through
Dazzled between far and near
Like the elegies relate to days beyond recall
I lingered in many memories

And again I stumbled through the back door
Seeing you, a misty shadow
I feel my repression
I can't go on
And again I am falling backwards
Tomorrow I will be here again
A silent mute of a black desire
Tomorrow I will be here again
Tomorrow I'll be here again
Be here again
Be here again

I am tired of tears and laughter
Or what may come hereafter
I am weary of days and hours
Desires, dreams and powers
Although it makes me weep
It is you
I wanna keep
I wanna keep

Consolation

I put my arms around you, your body stalls and droops
I give you consolation but there's nothing I can do
Estranged I listen to a voice so scared
Like a martyr from another world, I no longer share

The anguish of a thousand days, the fear of life like everyone
Against there is no chance to swim, you have to simply drift along

Everyday the sting moves deeper, one day it will reach your soul
It's near so close at hand for everyone

No more consolation, no more aggravation
no more I am making changes for everyone

Your eyes are breaking, the curtain is to drop
You want her here but you never begged before
If I could only scream and silence your voice
I might achieve to wake you up and make you come to a stop
When my world is quiet and no one fills my head
I give it one more thought and put it back to bed

Everyday the sting moves deeper, one day it will reach your soul
It's near so close at hand I hope you understand

No more consultation, no more aggravation
No more I am making changes for everyone

I Want You Now

Sometimes I find in dreams a whole new religion
Your body looks like Heaven
I must be in number seven
For an obvious reason I am deep in your debt
For an apparent reason I stay in bed

I want you now, I want you now!

My body floats in Heaven
In the palm of your hand
My body floats like Heaven

A flaming warmth in my headIf the world and love were young and truth on every tongue
The harshest pill to swallow
Is the hole in your soul
Someone somewhere is crying
You surely have a point
I’ve got no reason for lying
I reach the boiling point

I want you now, I want you now!

Love me, love me not
We stay up late and time has stopped
I meet your eyes
Starry skies
Feed my dream, feed my dream
I want it now!

My body floats in Heaven
In the palm of your hand
My body floats like Heaven
A flaming warmth in my head
All the walls tumble down
Fall in pieces around us now
All the walls tumble down
Fall in pieces around us now
Someone, somewhere wants you now

I want you now

Innocent

And it’s cold in here when you’re all in tears
Your vision is in black and white, you feel so afraid
You fail to show your better half, it’s such a shame
Tomorrow’s dream never comes, it remains in shades
Remains in shades

Sticks and stones break my bones and it hurts too much
Easy come and easy go, in love and war all seems fair
But’s better to have loved and lost than never to have loved at all
Now I am holding ground
Now I am safe and sound

But it’s the last straw that breaks my back and life’s too short
Handsome is as handsome does and there’s so much more
A change is good as rest they say and all that glitters is not gold
Now I am holding ground
Now I am safe and sound

No way I found love sane and sound
And it’s cold in here when you’re all in tears
Those endless nights of intrigues make it all too clear
In this dark world and wide I am innocent
I am innocent

Jasmine And Rose

The air tastes just like you, it's the smell of June
A sensory shock that jolts my spirit, I slowly swallow you
A spray of little droplets, a fragrance so refined
The spirit of nostalgia is passing me by

Opium and poison, jasmine and rose
Dream of ambrosia, all flavours glow, it's sensual, it's sensual, it's sensual, sensual

It all began so easy, with you on the floor
Against your willing flanks and knocking down your door
Until the day it crumbled, no game of win and lose
You told me nothing, you left me confused

Expelled like poison, a trim of the dose,
A limb disposed of, in a whim she chose,so rigorous, she's vigorous
she's vigorous, she's vigorous.

Heart of the hardest world, it's just the thought of you
All those variations, the air is full of you
The smell of summer rain, once more the scent of June
This sweet concentration, brings me back to you
Opium and poison
My taste of June, my taste of you
Inhale, inhale your trail
Opium and poison, jasmine and rose, dream of escape with me, all flavours go
It's sensual, it's sensual, it's sensual, it's sensual

What was ours will drift away, a simple breeze on a humid day

Oh, nothing lasts, nothing lasts, nothing lasts, forever

Louise

Louise
It seemed a long time ago
Louise
I'll always remember that day

I crawled on my knees
Begging you to stay
You made me shiver Louise
You made me quiver

Now I do the strangest things
I think such lonely thoughts
Forgetting all
Just forgetting you
Louise
Anything at all
Not to think of you
Anything at all
Don't deny it is not true
Louise
I feel I am getting weaker
A life blue on gloomy waves
I feel I am diving deeper
Into the darkest caves
There's nothing at all
To find a way

Louise, Louise, Louise
My heart used to beat
Now it only weeps
Louise, Louise, Louise
Uncared the city sleeps
I am twisted in the streets

I am shivering
Into the strangest things
Lonely thoughts and forgetting you Louise
And you promised me
You told me
You told me ampty lies
Louise, Louise, Louise
(my only cord is not to adore, I have to say, it is my only way)
Louise leave me, leave me
No longer interfere
Louise
Louise

Muscovite mosquito

I must write a letter to you
I must make myself clear
It is spot on time, right on cue
I am a clam, somebody said to me
It's obscene, there must be a motive behind
It's obscure, there must be someone behind

A Muscovite Mosquito, a Muscovite Mosquito
A Muscovite Mosquito, a Muscovite Mosquito

A vivid image anyway
Someone said, you're a clam
Consider this!

Mmm, listen oh, listen to me, you're far
A thousand miles away from here
I am here, i am here in this oozed through country
Trampled down by magot people
A dispute will never end
A retrospection, it sounds obscene
A disconnection
A final balance sheet for Muscovite Mosquito
For Muscovite Mosquito
For Muscovite Mosquito, it sound obscene
It sound so obscure, for Muscovite Mosquito
My final balance sheet is gone... for
Muscovite Mosquito, Muscovite Mosquito
It's spot on time, right on cue
You missed the chance, somebody vexedly said
It's obscene, there must be motives behind
It's obscure, there must be someone behind

Out Of The Rain

I've got a crush on you
You turn me on
It's hitting home again, what I left behind
I don't want to sleep alone
I don't want to go home
I don't want to walk the streets
I want to satisfy your needs
Cos, that's what life's about
Cos, that's what love's about

She says "no, no, no, no, no, never again"
She says "no ,no, no, no, no never again"

You've got nothing to loose
So just hear me out again
I don't understand why people say I just don't give a damn
I don't want to make the same mistake
I don't want to waste another day
I don't want to play another game
I want to make it up this way
Cos, that's what life's about
Cos, that's what love's about

She says "no, no, no, no, no, never again"
I say "no, no, no, no, no never again"

Take me out of the rain
Take me out of the rain

Some say, I stepped out of line
Some say, just leave it all behind
It's never too late, to turn it around
It's never too late, to turn it around
All I want is you tonight
All I want is you tonight, to

Take me out of the rain
Take me out of the rain

How can I change your mind
How can I change your mind to

Take me out of the rain
Take me out of the rain

Rain, rain, rain

Stranger

no one feeling
we are stranger
when I looked into your eyes
when I looked into your eyes
stranger
the thought to talk
they walk the talk
so lets just go from place to place
and as long as we don't talk from face to face
the stranger
stranger
stranger

This World

They say "trust on us"
They say "our time will come"
And "your dreams will come alive"
One day, we will find
No way to cross this line
It's where our worlds collide

This world is not made for you and I
It's build on blood and a million lies

Some say "we don't fit in"
"We're lost in another world"
Their truth will never hold
'Cause, one's heart is one's soul
We're living, day by day
Let them wither, till they're old and grey

This world is not made for you and I
It's build on blood and a million lies

I was blind, but now I see
We are destined for misery
If you're lost, you won't be found
There is no guiding hand of destiny

This world is not made for you and I
It's build on blood and a million lies

They paint the fabric of our lives, down and out
With nowhere to hide
What you miss, what you need, what you lack is a peace of mind, our worlds collide
