YOU CAN T WIN, CHARLIE BROWN DIFFRACTION / REFRACTION LYRICS

AFTER DECEMBER Call up her number, Let her go and you'll know Get your car, Let her find you in another year or so, And if she crawls out of her heart, Says it couldn't be so, Say "Love dies and my love is almost out of hope And if you borrow all my calls, all my time, all my soul When you cry, when you feel "no nothing ever goes" Then, all distractions put aside, let me go, lover All your love is in a bottle, life is thin and could a love like ours grow? Now our new home, no it wasn't made for you You've never loved another boy, but you'll Find out how in good time You're gonna love another boy On your own And if you come back all the time in your car, from the start And if your heart is so damn blind that we could never be apart And if you take it upon you to be the good, to be the truth Then all the bad and all the blood will just pour upon you too Now our new home, no it wasn't made for you You've never loved another boy, but you'll Find out how in good time You're gonna love another boy On your own But I believe that you won't be stranded And if you call, I'll always try to help you And if you know what we both are wishing Then all the gold, it couldn't be our savior But if you fall for "this is all boredom" And if you know that nothing's like that summer, By now you feel like you won't defend it Ain't nothing more than lovers being lovers Calling off their promise to each other To the void and back in to discover If you feel the need to tell others Ain't nothing more to love, it's all... And know that our new home, no it wasn't made for you You've never loved another boy, but you'll Find out how in good time You're gonna love another boy With all your sorrow All your freedom All your conscience All your beauty All your soul ----------------------------------------------------- Afonso Cabral: Vocals, Piano, Programming David Santos: Synth João Gil: Farfisa, Acoustic Guitar Luís Costa: Electric Guitar, Programming, Noise Salvador Menezes: Vocals, Bass Tomás Sousa: Drums

FALL FOR YOU Rise up, Call me, my love And I ll tell why I m at the edge All you ve done and all that you want Is what put me where I belong All your lust for him and his lies Got me on my knees for a while And now I m gone If you call and turn him around If you love beyond all doubt Then let me go now something is wrong But don t return once he is gone Move and turn me around Like you do with every pout And I ll forget that something was wrong And I will fall for you again Burn and sear to the ground Like you ve done my soul and heart And I ll regret I opened my arms Cause I won t fall for you again ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Afonso Cabral: Vocals, Wurlitzer, Programming / David Santos: Vocals, Metallophone, Sampler João Gil: Piano / Luís Costa: Electric Guitar / Salvador Menezes: Vocals, Bass Tomás Sousa: Drums / Francisco Mozer: Violin / Tiago Rosa: Cello

I WANNA BE YOUR FOG I want to be the one When hurt is at your door I want to take it all I wanna be your fog Looking at the world with your light You see our bleakness clearly all around The way you see it all The way that sadness hits your eyes and brings you to the ground I'm not letting up and leaving you alone I'm not letting up at all -------------------------------------------- Afonso Cabral: Vocals, Acoustic Guitar, Percussion David Santos: Metallophone, Glockenspiel Luís Costa: Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar Salvador Menezes: Bass, Percussion Tomás Sousa: Drums, Percussion Take a while and close your little eyes for now Let me see the side you never show Take a while and close your little eyes for now Give it up and let it go, somehow I'm not going, leaving you alone Not all walls fall Get up and stand tall Stop aiming for the floor 'Cause you can't take more Talking back at dawn Holding on to your bad bone Your one and lone Bad bone Your one and lone, One and only fault Grab it up and let it wild and overgrown Fly it to the sun and none will ever know

SHOUT We came into your homes We had it all worked out We'd run as fast as thunder With all that it requires The wrong that you won't mention The fallout it implies They all just wandered off We didn't know if we'd died We're young and yet we're not aloud So all bets are off We're taking over by surprise And we won't let go I know I won't be let down I know that they'll care somehow And while they're all thinking back and forth I hope you know that no, They ain't taking us alive We're young and yet we're not aloud But we won't leave without our pride We're taking over by surprise And we won't let go We won't be treated like we're fools No, we won't let go We're young and yet we're not aloud I know I won't be let down I know that they'll care somehow And while they're all thinking back and forth I hope you know that no, They ain't taking us alive -------------------------------------------- Afonso Cabral: Vocals, Piano, Farfisa, Hammond David Santos: Synth João Gil: Farfisa Salvador Menezes: Vocals, Bass Tomás Sousa: Vocals, Drums You know we'll take you by surprise all the way down We'll have it all before sunrise And we won't run Out in the open for your eyes So don't look down

NATURAL HABITAT HEART Come back with another goal and I might be your right hand Turn back yet another war and I might be the right man On and on On and on On and on and on Turn your battles someplace else I m here to stay and that s a start I know you re just begging for my place Don t it sober up your veins To know that things might stay the same I hope you know that I won t stop at all I might make this spot my home a little longer And I m coming forward, I m coming forward for you Only, only hold on Love her heart and be whole again And if you are right, there will come no harm And if you are bright, there will be no war And if you don't let her down One night only in your arms Then I won't grab her heart I won't drive you apart --------------------------- Afonso Cabral: Vocals Luís Costa: Acoustic Guitar Salvador Menezes: Vocals --------------------------------------------------- Afonso Cabral: Vocals, Wurlitzer, Clavinet, Bass Drum David Santos: Synth Luís Costa: Electric Guitar, Acoustic Guitar Salvador Menezes: Vocals, Bass, Acoustic Guitar, Clarinet, Hi-hat, Programming Tomás Sousa: Snare

FROM HER SOOTHING MOUTH Take me back and pay it all I know that we can work it out Dare we sing along another word, another song? Could we take another turn, Pretend our wants are not absurd? I know you ll be surprised Take my word and come on by Buy my love Only time you ll get it right Oh, I know that your lust is on fire Oh, and I won t let the gloom into your heart Oh, I won t leave it all in bloom And I know I m the only truth And I know, I won t laugh no, no, no If you call at my soothing mouth No I won t let go --------------------------- Afonso Cabral: Vocals David Santos: Omnichord João Gil: Acoustic Guitar Luís Costa: Glockenspiel Salvador Menezes: Bass Tomás Sousa: Drums

UNDER Come on over settle down All I want is a word and I m off the ground Cause I m coming up high into your heart And I won t back down Come on over saddle up All I need is a call then I m on the ground Cause I m coming up low into your thoughts Then I ll go I won t bother with your loss Undercover in your thoughts Cause I m a spy for agents in your heart Tearing you apart I won t bother with your loss Undercover in your thoughts Cause I m a spy and I won t be going for a while I m not going for a while For all that you deserve I won t be far again --------------------------- Afonso Cabral: Vocals, Piano, Farfisa David Santos: Monotron João Gil: Farfisa Luís Costa: Electric Guitar Salvador Menezes: Vocals, Bass Tomás Sousa: Drums I can make you sweat and bleed Make you feel your every need Cause I m a spy for war inside your heart War inside your heart And I won t back down Cause I m picking up a cause I m devastating all your pores
