und3rmuzik #17 we carry on

mais uma de third dos portishead. vício entranhado.

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 myself
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

und3rmuzic #16 the rip

mais uma de third dos portishead. the rip.

as she walks in the room

centred and torn

hesitating once more

as i take on myself

and the bitterness i felt

i realise that love lost

while white horses

they will take me away

and the tenderness i feel

will send the dog home to me

will i follow?

through the glory of life

i will scatter them on the floor

disappointed and soar

in my thoughts i have bled

from the riddles i've been fed

another light moves over

while white horses

they will take me away

and the tenderness i feel

will send the dog home to me

will I follow?

und3rmusic #15 nylon smile

o und3rblog avisa que a audição do terceiro registo dos portishead provoca sintomas de dependência. quanto mais se ouve, mais se quer ouvir. é difícil falar sobre este disco sem ter a sensação de que o que estamos a escrever atraiçoa o que o disco realmente é. não há palavras que possam abarcar a beleza destas canções, a coragem estética que está ao serviço deste registo. neste third mergulha-se de cabeça tronco e membros, ou então mais vale não se chegar a ouvir. nylon smile, terceira faixa do disco, para início de hostilidades, porque a ele voltarei de certeza. deixem-se embalar pela voz de beth gibbons e pelos sons de geoff barrow e adrian utley.

i'd like to laugh at what you said

but i just can't find a smile

i wonder why you 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

and nothing is so bad

i never had a chance

to explain exactly what i meant
