Women Of A Certain Age lyrics - The Arcade Fire

Women of a certain age
Made to feel they gotta change
Some of them change their faces
But they don't smile the same
Some of them take night courses
Some of them get divorces
As the world gets strange
It's time for a change

Go and let your men get strange markings
Go and let the world get strange
Never change

Women own the world tonight
'Cause all the boys, they just wanna fight
And women of the world are born
To all the boys little wars
Mother, sister, daughter
The boys, they just can't father
It's time to take the ranks
When it's away from the strange

Go and let your men get strange markings
Go and let the world get strange
But never change
Never change
Never change

Soft Power lyrics - The Arcade Fire

Soft power got them so upset.
They think it's over.
But it's not done yet.

Soft power in the underground
Gonna let the wind
Blow the shit all around.

Well,
Soft power gets into our brains
Soft power now it's never going to be the same
All your voices in the streets tonight
Soft power
It's alright

All your power makes the world go round
You can cut the speakers
You can cut all the sounds.
But can you hear us
Singing our song?
Soft power
Now it's coming on strong

Soft power gets into our brains
Soft power now it's never going to be the same
All your voices in the streets tonight
Soft power
It's alright

Soft power
Look at them go
Soft power
They're about to explode
Soft power
In the Underworld
Soft power
Every boy and girl

We were born
So it's our right
You can cut all the power
You can cut all the lights
But we can see you even in the dark
Your words are fire
And we are the spark

Well
Soft power gets into our brains
Soft power now it's never, ever going to be the same
All your voices in the streets tonight
Soft power
It's not alright

Soft power
Look at them go
Soft power
They're about to explode
Soft power
In the Underworld
Soft power
Every boy and girl

Call a doctor
when it's not alright

Call a doctor
Cause it's not alright

Call a doctor
It's not alright

Call a doctor
Cause it's not alright

Well.

We'd love to help you
But we're not home.
Leave a message:
It's impossible now.

We'd love to help you
But we're not home.
Leave a message:
It's impossible now.

We'd love to help you
But we're not home.
Leave a message:
It's impossible now.

(Here we go...)

Get Right lyrics - The Arcade Fire

Better get right
Before you die
Better get right
[3x]

'Cause you can't take it down with you
Where you're going to
No, you can't take it down with you
Where you're going to

And forever (ever) is longer than you could ever
Yeah, forever (ever) is longer than you could ever
Imagine

Better get right (right)
Better get right (right)

Crucified Again lyrics - The Arcade Fire

On the twelfth of January
You don't need what you can't carry
The blood will flow into the ocean
The voices breaking with the motion

Crucified
Then crucified again
Crucified
Then crucified again

In the night, they started singin'
They had no right to keep believin'
But down bellow, there's someone screamin'
A broken church, no bells a-ringin'

They crucified
Then crucified again
They crucified
Then crucified again

Crucified again
Crucified again

The preachers talk on television
Hand out the judgments of their religion
But when I heard those women singin'
They made a sound I couldn't believe in

Crucified
Then crucified again

He who strikes the blow forgets it
But he who bears the scar remembers
The fire is burnin' down to embers
The fire is burnin', but I can't remember

Crucified
Then crucified again
Crucified
Then crucified again

Crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again, and again, and again

All you great and mighty nations
Who think you've payed for your high stations
The cities may be built in the sand
But ours were built by their fathers' hands

They crucified
Then crucified again
They crucified
Then crucified again

Crucified again
Crucified again
Crucified again, and again, and again

Till the crowd cries
Do it again
[Repeat]

Crucified again
Crucified again

Culture War lyrics - Arcade Fire

Now the future's staring at me
like a vision from the past,
and I know these crumbs they sold me,
they're never gonna last.
Though we know the culture war,
we don't know what it's for but
we've lived the southern strategy.
You know it's never gonna last,
so keep it in the past.

These are different times that we're living in.
These are different times.
Now the kids are growing up so fast.
Paying for our crimes.

You left while I was sleepin'.
You said, "It's down to me".
Oh I've read a little Bible.
You see what you want to see.
Oh, we know the culture war,
we don't know what it's for but
we've lived your southern strategy.
You know it's never gonna last
so keep that shit in the past.

These are different times that we're living in.
'Cause these are different times.
Now the kids are growing up so fast.
They're paying for our crimes.

The dominos they never fell
but bodies they still burn.
Throw my hand into the fire
but still I never learn,
will I ever learn?

That these are different times.
Now the kids are growing up so fast
and paying for our crimes.
We'll be soldiers for you, mommy and daddy,
in your culture war.
We'll be soldiers for you, mommy and daddy,
but we don't know what it's for.

We're soldiers now in the culture war.
We're soldiers now, but we don't know what it's for.
We're soldiers now in the culture war.
We're soldiers now, but we don't know what it's for.
So tell me what's it for.

You want it? You got it, here's your culture war.
You want it? Now you've got it, so tell me what's it for.

Speaking In Tongues lyrics - Arcade Fire

Hypocrite reader,
My double, my brother

Your daddy really took it out of you

But did he speak it in tongues?
But did he speak it in tongues?

Sneaking out the windows now

You've got the spirit now

Hypocrite reader,
My double, my brother

Where did we lose our way?

It's like we're speaking in tongues
It's like we're speaking in tongues

Sneaking out the windows now

You've got the spirit now
You've got the spirit now
You've got the spirit now

Hypocrite reader,
My double, my brother

Now I can't understand a word

Now you're speaking in tongues
(Speaking in tongues)
Now you're speaking in tongues
(Speaking in tongues)
Now you're speaking in tongues
(Speaking in tongues)
Now you're speaking in tongues
(Speaking in tongues)

Come out of your head
And into my world now

Come out of your head
And into my world, my world, my world now

(Speaking in tongues)
(To end)

My Buddy lyrics - Arcade Fire

The night is long since you went away
I dream about you all through the day
My buddy, my buddy, no buddy quite so true.
(Hey that's a wrong note,
And that's a wrong note,
And tune up that G string,
And that's better, that's better, that's better)
Miss your voice, the touch of your hand
I long to know that you understand
My buddy, my buddy, your buddy misses you

Brazil lyrics - Arcade Fire

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly whispered, "Someday soon"
We kissed and clung together

Then - tomorrow was another day
The morning found us miles away
With still a million things to say
And now, the twilight moves the skies above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return, I will, to old Brazil

Brazil, where hearts were entertaining June
We stood beneath an amber moon
And softly whispered, "Someday soon"
We kissed and clung together

Then - tomorrow was another day
The morning found us miles away
With still a million things to say
And now when twilight moves the skies above
Recalling thrills of our love
There's one thing I'm certain of
Return, I will, to old Brazil

Abraham's Daughter lyrics - The Arcade Fire

[from "The Hunger Games" soundtrack]

Abraham took Isaac's hand and led him to the lonesome hill.
While his daughter hid and watched,
She dare not breathe, she was so still.
Just as an angel cried for the slaughter,
Abraham's daughter raised her voice.

Then the angel asked her what her name was,
She said, "I have none."
Then he asked, "How can this be?"
"My father never gave me one."

And with his sword up, raised for the slaughter,
Abraham's daughter raised her bow.
"How darest you, child, defy your father?"
"You better let young Isaac go."

Alligator Mine lyrics - The Arcade Fire

Run run run run run run run away
Run run run run run run run away from me from me

You breath like airs a tourist in your heart babe
When colder weather comes you'll just suffocate

You kiss like love's a tourist in your heart babe
When colder weather comes you just disappear from me
But I cant wait to have your sweet love again before you

Run run run run run run run away
Run run run run run run run away from me from me

You breath like airs a tourist in your heart babe
When colder weather comes you'll just suffocate

You kiss like love's a tourist in your heart babe
When colder weather comes you just disappear from me
But I cant wait to have your sweet love again

You're cold blooded, stealin' my sunlight
You're cold blooded alligator mine

You're cold blooded, stealin' my sunlight
You're cold blooded alligator mine

You run away again my
I wont stay alligator mine

Burning Bridges, Breaking Hearts lyrics - The arcade fire

Burning bridges, breaking hearts
Everything you taught us to do
We're burning bridges, and breaking hearts
No home to come home to
We're burning bridges, and breaking hearts
I won't look you in the eye
And burning bridges, breaking hearts
Caught you in a friendship lie

Took a visit, to your old house
The windows were all boarded up
Try to hold these, memories
The ocean in a paper cup
There's no future in this town
They barricade the buildings there
To the lion, you've been cast
Only bones are gonna last

There's a city, underground
There's a city made of glass
There's a city, underground
Hurry cause it's breaking fast

There's no future in this town
They barricade the buildings there
We're burning bridges and breaking hearts
No home to come home to

We're burning bridges
(and breaking hearts)
We're burning bridges
(and breaking hearts)
Burning bridges, breaking hearts
(breaking hearts)

Burning bridges, breaking hearts
Everything you taught us to do
We're burning bridges and breaking hearts
No home to come home to

We're burning bridges and breaking hearts
Everything you taught us to do
We're burning bridges and breaking hearts
No home to come home to

Can't Let Go Of You lyrics - The Arcade Fire

Where we gonna go
I'm gassed up, I'm ready to go
Grab your jacket, Let's hit the road
We can't wait any longer, Let's go

She's looking out the window
And her baby starting to show
From five months ago
So keep driving, keep driving through the snow

I passed by my folks on side of the road, but I'm through it everyone
We can't let go, You can't let go of the wheel
And I pass by my friends on either end, But I'm through it all of them
I can't let go, We can't let go of the wheel

Hoping land for miles is Nebraska in my eye
And we still crystallize
Any longer any longer

Trees and power lines are all dressed in the ice
And we still crystallize
Keep moving keep moving through the eye

See the road swallow us whole, and we're still alive...
But I cant let go, I cant let go of the wheel
And water break on a burning wick and douse the flame kill her quiver
We cant let go, We cant let go of eachother
Shes crying saying it's nobody's fault, shes already a pillar of salt
We're too dissolved, we're too dissolved into the road

Cars And Telephones lyrics - The arcade fire

I read the pages about me
In her autobiography
They were brief and to the point

Our flesh, while you are getting dressed
A memory that needs to be repressed
I'll just wait until it's over

Since you've gone away I never know just what to say
Since you've gone away I never know just what to say

Cause I like cars more than telephones
Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone
Tonight I'm gonna drive, the silver moon is shining bright
Over the interstate, God saying hurry don't be late
Soon the sun will rise, that's when the romance dies
And I'm just tired of running around

I walked to get the mail today
I guess your letter never came
I'll just check again tomorrow

A flash while you are getting dressed
A memory that needs to be repressed
I'll just wait without saying a word

Since you've gone away I never know just what to say
Since you've gone away I never know just what to say

Cause I like cars more than telephones
Your voice in my ear makes me feel so alone
Tonight I'm gonna drive, the silver moon is shining bright
Over the interstate, God saying hurry don't be late
Soon the sun will rise, that's when the romance dies
And I'm just tired of running around

But fuck it, I love you even if, I'm gonna feel like shit
By the time I get to you, now the sky is turning blue

The stars they disappear one by one as the daylight nears
And yes you're in my head, but that doesn't make you here

And I've lost all my friends, but you're the one I miss the most
And now I'm almost there, yeah, I'm almost to the coast

And if I had any notion of how I'm gonna drive my car across
The Atlantic Ocean I'd be fucking set

Lenin lyrics - The Arcade Fire

When Lenin was little
All the birds in the boat were singing, "Man this is it"
Now that he's older
All the sailors in heaven are singing up and shit

I know it can't be right
I know it can't be right
But I just smile instead
Of repeating what I say in my head

When Lenin was little
He stung like a vampire on all hollows eve
All the saints of heaven
Looking down at the leaves falling off the tree

I know it can't be right
I know it can't be right
But I just smile instead
Of repeating what I say

Daddy, daddy, please spare the world
From the government
Daddy, daddy, please spare my soul
From my judgment

Daddy, daddy, please send me a heart
That is made of cement
'Cause the money's all been spent

Daddy, daddy, please spare the world
From the government
Daddy, daddy, please spare my soul
From my judgment

Daddy, daddy, please send me a heart
That is made of cement
'Cause the money's all been spent
The money's all been spent
The money's all been spent
The money's all been spent
