Mark Owen - Clementine

[1997]

Celementine

She heard a voice from so far away
It told her her mother had gone away
In the next room down the corridor
Her baby started to cry
Her whole life had just fell apart
There was nothing then the hurting started
In her heavy head on her knees she prayed
could somebody help her

Clementine
It was never meant to be this way
It was never meant to be this way
Clementine
It was never meant to be this way
it was never meant to be this way
If only I'd told you yesterday

Got in her car and she sped away
Into the floodlit street down by your way
As the sun rose by the morning dew
Well she returned in such a state
Her baby knew not what was going on
But it could tell from her tears that something was wrong with mum
Desperation let out its final scream
But our clementine didn't hear a damn thing

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Into the mirror she stared at herself
Asked is that my life is that what I'm here for
Her reflection chose not to respond
As she froze to the spot like a cold hard statue
And bathed in her tears she said her time was through

 

 

 

Mark Owen - Green Man

[1996]

Green Man

Early morning juices blend he chooses
Bowl of seed and water cleanses
Caffeine free with herbs for tea
Clear and fresh he won't be tempted
High on C he's staring at me
We make us seem far apart
Dead for awhile, resurrects with a smile
Pulls my conscience inside apart

Green man

I'll take a leaf from your book
Found a new love
I say peace man

Green man

I'll take a leaf from your book
Found a new love
I say peace man
Second sight no sense of fright
He lives his life for the moment
He stands like a god an enlightened god
Ruby centres in his crown
Man of wealth loaded with health
A lion with a mother's heart
Magic man with your save Earth plan
Thanks for giving me my part

Green man

I'll take a leaf from your book
Found a new love
I say peace man

Green man

I'll take a leaf from your book
Found a new love
I sa peace man
Our body is a precious thing, treat it with care, treat it as bare
As a snake sheds its skin you've got to shed your past over and over
Again the more that you give the more you'll receive so give your
Love for free don't live for the past or the futre live now

 

Mark Owen - Child

[1996]

Child

Sleep peacefully now my child
I hope that you go away
To a place where your dreams can play
Wipe all the tears from your eyes
There is a sky of blue
This is your time of truth

Like a bird high on the wind
May you fly away
Like a snowfall in the spring
may you cares melt away
CHILD, innocent child
our hope lies inside
your starry eyes
my innocent child

Hero, now that you are free
You have no need to fear
so go out and find your smile
Like a candle in the stream
May you float away
Like a feather on the breeze
May you blow away

[REPEAT CHORUS]
Like a candle,
Like a snowfall
Like a feather
like a bird:fly away
Like a candle,
like a snowfall
like a feather
like a bird..fly away

[REPEAT CHORUS]

Sleep peacefully now my child
I hope that you go away
to a place where you dreams can play 

TRADUZIONE

Ora dormi tranquilla bambina
Spero che tu vada
In un posto dove i tuoi sogni possano giocare
Asciugati le lacrime
C’è un cielo tutto blu
È l’ora della verità per te
Come un uccello che si libera nel vento
Come la neve in un torrente
E possano le tue preoccupazioni svanire
Bimba, bambina innocente
La nostra speranza si trova nei tuoi occhi sognanti
Mia bimba innocente
Eroina, ora che sei libera
Non c’è motivo per avere timore
Vai a ritrovare il tuo sorriso
Come un lumino sull’acqua
Spero che tu possa galleggiare lontano
Bimba, bambina innocente
La nostra speranza è nei tuoi occhi sognanti
Bambina innocente
Come una candela
Come una nevicata
Come una piuma
Come un uccello,vola via
Bambina innocente
Come una candela
Come una nevicata
Come una piuma
Come un uccello,vola via
Bimba, bambina innocente
Vola via
Bimba, bambina innocente
Mia bambina innocente
Vola via
Ora dormi tranquilla
Spero che tu voli
In un posto dove i tuoi sogni possano giocare.
