Young girl in the market, music to the men
When the men leave her eyes are red
When her eyes are closed again
She sees the dark market of above
And she sings
They say the most horrible things
But I hear violins
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
Young boy in the market follows all the men
When the men leave he's out of his head
When his eyes are closed again
He sees the dark market of above
And he sings
They break the most beautiful things
But I hear violins
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
I look into your eyes
And I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
Center of the sun
Young boy in the market
Sees the girl alone and asks her
"Have you lost your way home?", she sings
"You say the most beautiful things, just like my violins"
I look into your eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
'Cause I hear violins
I hear violins
I hear violins
I hear violins
Center of the sun
I hear violins
When the men leave her eyes are red
When her eyes are closed again
She sees the dark market of above
And she sings
They say the most horrible things
But I hear violins
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
Young boy in the market follows all the men
When the men leave he's out of his head
When his eyes are closed again
He sees the dark market of above
And he sings
They break the most beautiful things
But I hear violins
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
I look into your eyes
And I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
Center of the sun
Young boy in the market
Sees the girl alone and asks her
"Have you lost your way home?", she sings
"You say the most beautiful things, just like my violins"
I look into your eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
When I close my eyes
I am at the center of the sun
And I cannot be hurt
By anything this wicked world has done
'Cause I hear violins
I hear violins
I hear violins
I hear violins
Center of the sun
I hear violins

| Gatlinburger | Posted: Aug 02, 2009 - 03:32 I think it's a little muddled because of the production mix. It's hard to understand the lyrics. Maybe my amp & speakers? But, then again... Nah, I think it's the mix. My speakers work pretty well for most everything else. |

| greyfin10 (Panama City, FL) | Posted: Feb 03, 2009 - 12:44 The highlights of the album in my opinion are all the vocal tracks... the instrumentals seem to meander too much. But you have two songs by Poe, two by Sinead O'Connor, and two by a singer I'd never heard of before (Marie-Claire D'Ubaldo) which were great too. Several standout vocal performances. I'd recommend it, but its not a homerun (not another Zero 7 or Air for instance). Alafia wrote: I like this woman's voice. How's the rest of the disk? |
