Low – In Silence Lyrics 6 years ago
The lyrics posted here are completely wrong. Don't trust LyricFind.

"They put the treasure deep inside us
Inside us
Inside us
They thought the desert would divide us
Divide us
Divide us
With silence
With silence
With silence
With silence
They filled our hearts and hands with violence
With violence
With violence
It's time to leave the fields behind us
Behind us
Behind us
In silence
In silence
In silence
In silence
In silence
In silence
In silence"

Blonde Redhead – Chi É e Non É Lyrics 6 years ago
This is the english translation from the booklet:

"You know you're not like me.
Always knowing where you are
You and say anything
You can say anything you want
But as for me
I don't want to wake myself
To think about you

Man or Boy?
A passion for play
The fire, the ditch,
The road I remember
At night. Everyday
In the evening, this evening,
I don't want to wake myself
To talk to you

Wanting not to be
Who is and Who is not
Knows and doesn't know the pleasure
Knows and doesn't know of knowing
Knows and doesn't know who to love
You know how gentle you are
Always just as you are
When you know where you are
You can say anything you want
But as for me
I don't want to wake myself
To think about you

The fury, the indifference
Of who is and who is not
Everything is a fabrication
Quotidian emotion
But as for me
I don't want to wake myself
Up to thinking about you."

Belle & Sebastian – Expectations Lyrics 13 years ago
To me it sounds more like this:

"Hey, you’ve been used
Write a song, I'll sing along
Are you calm? Settle down
Soon you will know that you are sane
You’re on top of the world again

And you’re cool and you know
You’re a star, you’ll go far.
Think of me as a friend,
Not just the boy who played guitar.
You’re on top of the world again."

Belle & Sebastian – The Boy with the Arab Strap Lyrics 13 years ago
I found this:

Lead singer and songwriter Stuart Murdoch admitted to Q magazine in April 2011: "It's about Aidan Moffat from Arab Strap. I never really thought about it at the time, but I think he deserves to be a bit peeved that we hijacked the name of their band. But it was an honest thing - I was describing my experiences hanging around with him and the words tumbled out very easily. I remember playing it to Isobel (Campbell, ex Belle & Sebastian) on the piano when I first wrote it and she thought it was ridiculous. She said it sounded like Chas & Dave."

The Delgados – Russian Orthodox Lyrics 13 years ago
"Please believe
If I can't win then I'll leave
And chaste I am
But no one knows where I stand
But you've been lying
And I've been trying to underrate
But you've got honey
And friends with money, you'll be OK

So just go
My situation's darker than you think
There's guys in here, they're asking you to drink
But I won't dedicate my life to you
No, nothing 'til the point where we'll come in and out, we go
Looking at the princess as she flows
Always stare each other in the eye
Finalizing figures 'til we die

But I won't dedicate life to you
Because the chances are we're already through
And we won't dedicate life to old
Because the chances are we're already

Sunken eyes
I'm tired it's all, let her try
But hate, I am
There's no one here but my man
So we've been trying
And we've been lying our dreams away
But you've got money
And friends with honey, and be OK

Oh lead on
Pretend to reason on your own
There's no one here answering the phone
But live your life in on a sly
And shake it 'til the point where we'll come in and out, we go
Looking at the princess as she flows
Always stare each other in the eye
Finalizing figures 'til we fly

But we won't dedicate life to you
Because the chances are we're already through
And we won't dedicate life to old
Because the chances are we're already."

The Delgados – The Actress Lyrics 13 years ago
"This is not my house
But I know you both so well
Feels like it could be
But I can hear the bell
Days with his soulmate
Clothing for a course
Dines on a cloth plate
He wonders if she scores
Why did you buy this?
I know you dressed in red
Hardly surprising
The bed before you wed

If I forget what I saw
This time I'll find you
See the sign on a wall
Pray it won't kill you
Book a room, book it soon
Before I find you
Move aside as I slide
Leave it to those you know best

It looks so real
But I think it's just too tall
Let me try it
I'll stand here in the hall
And I know that ice can't burn
But I can see the flames
Melting the blocks in turn
Before I name some names

If I forget what I saw
This time I'll find you
See the sign on the wall
Pray it won't kill you
Book a room, book it soon
Before I find you
Move aside as I slide
Leave it to those you love best

Mind the style and relax here for a while
Taking stock of the job you have ahead
You will find what's behind all the actions of this kind
Be it all that they're happening in my head
There's this guy who speaks and I know he knows I'm weak
Find possessions by my side, I can't carry them I'm fry
Oh before I go there's some gratitude to show
For the car, hear me out, was a star


These lights they are hurting
And these games have names of old
Don't go confusing
The console with the board
Now I see a train station
The name I see is grey
Show me the exit now
So I can get away

If I forget what I saw
This time I'll find you
See the sign on a wall
Pray it won't kill you
Book a room, book it soon
Before I find you
Move aside as I slide
Leave it to those you know best. "

SORROW, make yourself at home
Nowhere that I feel I BELONG
Heaven wait for someone else
My uneasy feeling is coming down again

Breaking on the inside

Hollow shades of what you've been
Here A CHANGE IN shape begins
Never ASKED THE SEA TO TELL
My queasy ceiling is coming down again

Breaking on the inside

Goodbye past life
Feelings have died
Goodbye past life
Feelings have died

i've noticed several mistakes, so i report here the lyric with the corrections:

Don't stop

No one's beside you cos everyone's up
Changin'
Dreams for my kin
Just to be sure that you're fifty percent went through
Don't be afraid of me
I'm not the one that you fear

Hey man
Sing when you can
Sing when you're taller and wider and cleaner
I'd know
That you will grow
Just don't be thanking your lazarus yet boy
Don't be afraid of me
I'm not the one that you fear
Lying beside you are friends who don't know how to hear
I hear you

Driving along through the glen at three-thirty
Thinking that when I return you won't be there
I'll make my bargains with those who will hear me
This is the time atheists pray to Jesus
Don't be afraid of me
I'm not the one that you fear
Lying beside you are friends who don't know how to hear
I hear you
