Portishead - Nylon Smile

I'd like to laugh at what you said, but I just can't find a smile

I wonder why I can't, I struggle with myself

Hoping I might change a little

Hoping that I might be someone I wanna be

Looking out I want to know someone might care

Looking out I want a reason to be there

'Cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you

and I don't know what I'll do without you

Looking out I want to know some way might clear

Looking out I want a reason to repair

'Cause I don't know what I've done to deserve you

And I don't know what I'll do without you

I can't see nothing good, nothing is so bad

I never had the chance to explain exactly what I meant

Portishead - Magic Doors

I can't deny what I've become
I'm just emotionally undone
I can't deny I can with someone else
When I have tried to find the words
To describe this sense absurd
Try to resist my thoughts but I can't lie

All the muse in myself
My desire I can't hide
No reason and I thought

I can't divide they'll hide from me
I don't know who I'm meant to be
I guess it's just the person that I am
Often I've felt that I don't wade
Into the gift of my mistake
Again, again I'm wrong, and I confess

All the muse in myself
My desire I can't hide
No reason and I thought

All the muse in myself
My desire I can't hide
No reason and I thought

Portishead - We Carry On

The taste of life I can't describe
It's chocking on my mind
Reaching out I can't believe
Faith it can't decide

On and on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise

Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed the taste of life
The pace, the time, I can't survive
It's grinding down the view
Breaking out which way to choose
A choice I can't renew

Holding on I carry on
But underneath my mind
And on and on I tell my self
It's this I can't disguise

Oh can't you see
Holding on to my heart
I bleed, no place is safe
Can't you see the taste of life

Portishead - The Rip

As she walks in the room
Scented and tall
Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself
And the bitterness I felt
I realise that love flows

Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?

Through the glory of life
I will scatter on the floor
Disappointed and sore
And in my thoughts I have bled
For the riddles I've been fed
Another lie moves over

Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?

Wild, white horses
They will take me away
And the tenderness I feel
Will send the dark underneath
Will I follow?
