Dave Matthews: Frasi in inglese

“He wakes up in the morning
Does his teeth, bite to eat and he's rolling
Never changes a thing.
The week ends the week begins
She thinks, we look at each other
Wondering what the other is thinking
But we never say a thing
These crimes between us grow deeper.”

Lay down in our mother's arms,
for here we can rest safely.”

With the thought of a friend
In a distant passing stage
While you lie around
With your hands up and out
So resigned you will fall down.”

The Song That Jane Likes
Remember Two Things (1993)

“That's the magic of this band: shooting from the hip. The lights have to follow our cues, because we're not going to follow their cues. We're not going to stick to a song the way it's supposed to be. Everything is up to us. That's music to me. That's American music. We're an American band.”

Program cutting the corners.

Typical Situation
Under the Table and Dreaming (1994)

“There’s an emptiness inside her
And she’d do anything to fill it in.
And though it’s red blood bleeding from her now,
It’s more like cold blue ice in her heart.
She feels like kicking out all the windows,
And setting fire to this life.
She could change everything about her using colors bold and bright,
But all the colors mix together - to grey.”

All I can say to you my new neighbor,
You must move on or I will bury you.”

Lovers for a night, lovers for tonight.
Stay here with me, love, tonight.

Our passion pictures.

Secret creatures.
And we'll stay here.
Tomorrow go back to being friends.”

You've got your chain.
Tied to me tight, tie me up again.

Into your heart, I'll beat again.

Sweet you rock
And sweet you roll.
Lost for you, I'm so lost for you.”

Crash (1996)

“We were walking
Just the other day.
It was so hot outside,
You could fry an egg.
Remember you were talking,
I watched as sweat ran down your face.
Reached up and I caught it at your chin,
Licked my fingertips.”
