Johnny Cash - One [origin by U2]
One
is it getting better
or do you feel the same
will it make it easier on you now
if you've got someone to blame
you said one love
one life
when it's one need
in the night
one love we get to share it
it leaves you baby if you dont care for it
did i disappoint you
or leave a bad taste in your mouth
you act like you never had love
and you want me to go without
well its too late
tonight
to drag the past out
into the light
we're one but we're not the same
we get to carry each other
carry each other
one
have you come here for forgivness
have you come to raise the dead
have you come here to play jesus
to the lepors in your head
did i ask too much
more than a lot
you gave me nothing now
it's all i got
we're one but we're not the same
well we hurt each other and we're doin it again
you said love is a temple
love the higher law
love is a temple
love the higher law
you ask me to enter
but then you make me crawl
i cant be holdin on
to what youve got
when all youve got is hurt
one love
one blood
one life
youve got to do what you should
one life with each other
sister
brothers
one life but we're not the same
we get to carry each other
carry each other
one
Und noch einer
Johnny Cash - The mercy seat [origin by nick cave]
The mercy seat
It all began when they took me from my home
And put me on Death Row,
A crime for which I am totally innocent, you know.
I began to warm and chill
To objects and their fields,
A ragged cup, a twisted mop
The face of Jesus in my soup
Those sinister dinner deals
The meal trolley's wicked wheels
A hooked bone rising from my food
And all things either good or ungood.
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this weighing of the truth.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.
I hear stories from the chamber
Christ was born into a manger
And like some ragged stranger
He died upon the cross
Might I say it seems so fitting in its way
He was a carpenter by trade
Or at least that's what I'm told
My kill hand's tatooed E.V.I.L.
Across it's brother's fist
That filthy five!
They did nothing to challenge or resist.
In Heaven His throne is made of gold
The ark of his Testament is stowed
A throne from which I'm told
All history does unfold.
It's made of wood and wire
And my body is on fire
And God is never far away.
Into the mercy seat I climb
My head is shaved, my head is wired
And like a moth that tries
To enter the bright eye
I go shuffling out of life
Just to hide in death awhile
And anyway I never lied.
And the mercy seat is waiting
And I think my head is burning
And in a way I'm yearning
To be done with all this weighing of the truth.
An eye for an eye
And a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
And I'm not afraid to die.
And the mercy seat is burning
And I think my head is glowing
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all this twisting of the truth.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
And anyway there was no proof
And I'm not afraid to die.
And the mercy seat is glowing
And I think my head is smoking
And in a way I'm hoping
To be done with all these looks of disbelief.
A life for a life and a truth for a truth
And I've got nothing left to lose
And I'm not afraid to die.
And the mercy seat is smoking
And I think my head is melting
And in a way that's helping
To be done with all this twisting of the truth.
An eye for an eye and a tooth for a tooth
And anyway I told the truth
But I'm afraid I told a lie.
