1. Snow Patrol - Lifeboats
2. Snow Patrol

3. Hold on, hold on,
   let me get the words out
   before I burst.
   
   There's no truth at all,
   poking out the child eyes
   of ancient gods.
   
   Cool heads have failed,
   and now it's time for me
   to have my turn.
   
   Kiss me, kiss me,
   life is way too short
   to scream and shout.
   
   Flashed up in my wildest dreams,
   the dark red blood streams
   stretching out like crossed red lights.
   
   The veins of you, the veins of me,
   Like great forest trees
   Fishing through and on away
   
   Land like a satellite
   In the broken night
   then I'll wake you there and say
   
   Love is light while outside
   and hide, set against the sky,
   it seems the balance always own.
   
   Sing out, sing out.
   The silence only eats us
   from the inside up.
   
   I meant no harm,
   But I only get to sing
   these words to late
   
   Wake up wake up
   Dreaming only leads
   to more nightmares
   
   Snap out of it
   Your sitting in a way that showed
   you really care
   
   Flashed up in my wildest dreams,
   the dark red blood streams
   stretching out like crossed red lights.
   
   The veins of you, the veins of me,
   Like great forest trees
   Fishing through and on away
   
   Land like a satellite
   In the broken night
   then I'll wake you there and say
   
   love is light while outside
   and hide, set against the sky,
   it seems the balance always own.
   
   Send your lifeboats
   not for me
   Send your lifeboats out

"Oh, quanto me pesa
este coração, que é de pedra.
Este coração que era de asas,
de música e tempo de lágrimas.

Mas agora é silex e quebra
qualquer dura ponta de seta.

Oh, como não me alegra
ter este coraçao de pedra.

Dizei porque assim me fizestes,
vós todos a quem amaria,
mas não amarei,pois sois estes
que assim me deixastes amarga,
sem asas, sem música e lágrimas,

assombrada, triste e severa
e com meu coração de pedra.
Oh, quanto me pesa
ver meu puro amor que se quebra!
O amor que era tão forte e voava
mais que qualquer seta!"

(Metal Rosicler-1960)
