ELYSIUM
From the album '
Portishead' [5:54]


LYRICS:

No one has said what the truth should be
And no one decided that I'd feel this way
If you felt as I
Would you betray yourself

But, you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me

No one should fear what they cannot see
And no ones to blame it's just hypocrisy
It's written in your eyes
And how I despise myself

But, you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me

And it's your heart
That's so wrong
Mistaken
You'll never know
Your feathered sacred self

But, you can't deny how I feel
And you can't decide for me

And you can't deny how I feel
And why should you decide for me

COMMENTS:

The calm before the storm. Dave
A track capturing Beth's frustration. Geoff
Nearly burst my head open making this one. Adrian
That was the last one we recorded. It took a while to get going but I like the end result. I like Beth's song on it. I think it's a really good melody and it's a little bit more angry than the first record, some of the stuff she'd done on it. Geoff
