poems
Tricky/Björk Lyrics

I confide to anything
I share my thoughts and feelings with anyone.

So I have to hide from everything.
Because I share too much, I have to keep my feelings and thoughts to myself.

Everybody wants a piece of me.
Everyone wants something from me, whether it's time or attention.

Rinse the origin and cease to be
Wash away where I came from and I will disappear.

Sit back and let it happen,
Relax, don't try to control what's happening.

Let us take your time away
Someone else will control my time and I won't have a say.

I don't understand you.
I don't comprehend your actions or motives.

I don't want your time of day.
I don't want to give you any attention or acknowledge you in any way.

If you're gonna walk, might as well walk your way,
If you're going to live your life, do it the way you want to and don't let others tell you how to live it.

Always walk the whole ways,
Always finish what you start, don't give up.

Forget the punk, I pack the funk.
Don't focus on negative things, I have positive things to offer.

I'm gonna take a piece of you.
I'm going to take something from you, whether it's time or attention.

Making money for good health, but first I learn to see myself
I need to know myself before I can make money and take care of myself.

You've promised me poems
You made me a promise about giving me poems.

I rue the day that I ever met you,
I regret meeting you deeply.

And deeply regret you getting close to me.
I wished we never got to know each other well.

I cannot wait to deeply neglect you,
I can't wait to forget you and ignore you completely.

Deeply forget you, Jesus believe me,
I am completely serious about wanting to forget you.

You promised me poems.
You made a promise to give me poems.

You might have been my reason for livin'
You could have been an important part of my life.

I gave up ungivin', gave up everything.
I gave up being reserved and gave everything to you.

We were a right pair of believers
We had similar interests and beliefs.

A couple of dreamers, so how come
We both dreamt and hoped about different things?

You hate me?
Do you really hate me?

Dreamed of ringing voices,
I used to dream of hearing beautiful voices.

They contemplated choices.
They thought about different options and decisions.

Taste like a rare kiss,
Feels like the rarest of kisses.

To heighten my awareness.
To increase my awareness or understanding of something.

With all fairness, greatness, with gratitude.
Be fair, strive for greatness, and be thankful for what you have.

And simply rhymes with attitude
Life rhymes with attitude, it's all about how you approach things.

Now do promotion and TV, and ya still can't see. We
Even with success in promotion and television, you still don't understand me.

Down the hill cascade
Going downhill, like a waterfall.

And keep away the masquerade,
Be true to yourself and don't pretend to be someone else.

Dreamed of ringing voices,
I used to dream of hearing beautiful voices.

And you promised me poems
You made a promise to give me poems.

And you promised me poems
You made a promise to give me poems.

And you promised me poems
You made a promise to give me poems.

And you promised me poems
You made a promise to give me poems.
