Portugal. The Man – You Carried Us (Share With Me The Sun) Lyrics 12 years ago
Taken from the deluxe CD booklet:



Share with me the sun
You forget sometimes it's ours
Can't you see you're not the only one
The doors all lead outside
Feel it soak into your mind
Can't you see you're not the only one

As you slipped on down
The length of my tongue
Did you taste
The salt that I'd become

You'll carry us all
Down from the stars
And up from the sea
Where everybody knew
All you see and all you hear
Is all you need and all you'll be
It's all you create
And it's in your mind

Share with me the sun
We'll forget all that is ours
Forget me and all the things that you've seen

The times already came with the news
It was the world that took your brain

You'll carry us all
Down from the stars
And up from the sea
Where everybody knew
All you see and all you hear
Is all you need and all you'll be
It's all you create
And it's in your mind

There's nothing I can say or do
(There's nothing I can say or do)
And there's no life for me to see
(There's no life for me to see)
Still there was nothing left of you

You, you carried us all
Down from the stars
And up from the sea
(And we all knew)

You'll carry us all
Down from the stars
And up from the sea
Where everybody knew
All you see and all you hear
Is all you need and all you'll be
It's all you create
And it's in your mind

(And we all knew)
All you see and all you hear
Is all you need and all you'll be
It's all you create
And it's in your mind

There's nothing I can say or do
(There's nothing I can say or do)
And there's no life for me to see
(There's no life for me to see)
Still there was nothing left of you
There was nothing left of you

Portugal. The Man – Head Is a Flame (Cool With It) Lyrics 12 years ago
Taken from the deluxe CD booklet:



I was born without a name
A soldier for
The streets they say
This kid's on a mission
Running high on fame of the guillotine
No roots to find and no one to miss him

My head is like a flame

Well we all get strange
And we know it
But we're cool with it
And we all get a little bit older
In this day and age
But we deal with it

Shaking with a fire burning deep inside
Still the politicians they never listen
Blood money was a sound
I didn't care to hear
Of which the politicians they only listen

My head is like a flame
And my eyes were red

Well we all get strange
And we know it
But we're cool with it
And we all get a little bit older
In this day and age
But we deal with it

My head was like a flame
It was burning up, burning up
It was burning up
My head was like a flame
It was burning up, burning up
It was burning up


I became a child of the universe
Reborn into this galactic prism

My head was like a flame
Ah, my eyes were red

Well we all get strange
And we know it
But we're cool with it
And we all get a little bit older
In this day and age
But we deal with it

My head was like a flame
It was burning up, burning up
It was burning up
My head was like a flame
It was burning up, burning up
It was burning up

My head was like a flame
My head was like a flame
My head was like a flame
My head was like a flame

Portugal. The Man – Got It All (This Can't Be Living Now) Lyrics 12 years ago
Taken from the deluxe CD booklet:



This can't be living now
If so then show me how
We'll shake, shake, shake
The night away
We shook, shook, shook
The night away

I want a love like this love was young
But will I die as I become
You'll find it at the bottom of it all

We got it all, we got it all
We got it all, 'til the revolution comes
We got it all, we got it all
We got it all, 'til the revolution comes
I want a world like
My teacher told me it would be
I want a love like
My parents told me it would be

When I was born
I defined your times
But they were nothing
Nothing like mine
We'll shake, shake, shake
The night away
We shook, shook, shook
The night away
It feels like school again
But learning's alright man!
You'll find it at the bottom of it all

We got it all, we got it all
We got it all, 'til the revolution comes
We got it all, we got it all
We got it all, 'til the revolution comes
I want a world like
My teacher told me it would be
I want a love like
My parents told me it would be

We'll shake, shake, shake
The night away
We shook, shook, shook
The night away

Well, this can't be living now
If so then show me how
We'll find it at the bottom of it all

We got it all, we got it all
We got it all, 'til the revolution comes
We got it all, we got it all
We got it all, 'til the revolution comes
I want a world like
My teacher told me it would be
I want a love like
My parents told me it would be

Portugal. The Man – Floating (Time Isn't Working My Side) Lyrics 12 years ago
Taken from the deluxe CD booklet:



We may not be hopeless
But we're still helpless in the end
Just remember your'e floating
Remember the love that we had then

So inconsistently we spend
Our time with family and our friends
I know I'm not hopeless
I'm only helpless in the end
I know you'll have questions
That may go unanswered in the end
Did you forget you're floating?
Did you forget that we were only men?

But we can't live on
For all time, time, time

'Cause time isn't working my side
No, time isn't working my side
No, time isn't working my side
No, time isn't working my side

But we can't live on
For all time, time, time

'Cause time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side

Time isn't working my side
No, time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side
Time isn't working my side

Portugal. The Man – Elephants Lyrics 13 years ago
the whole "I found gold?gold got it got it?" part is obviously not right. but it's a lot of noise, it's hard to tell what's being said.

my guess is:

Up, up, up! Go, go! Got it, got it!

The Sound of Animals Fighting – Act I: Chasing Suns Lyrics 14 years ago
also, anthony green was given the instrumentals of this song and was told to just sing. and he did it in only a few takes. so there was no writing process.

this song, as well as the entire album, was all improvised. none of the band members were together to record it. rich balling just sent samples for people to record over. some of the band members never even met each other before the ocean and the sun.

so i wouldn't go so far as to say the lyrics are meaningless... but yeah their pretty much meaningless. which is why none of it makes sense and most of these lyrics are wrong. i'm sure some of what he says aren't even words.

but hey, it is fun to try and make it into words.

The Sound of Animals Fighting – Act I: Chasing Suns Lyrics 14 years ago
ok just to clear things up: there are four versions of this song, from:

1) tiger and the duke demos
2) tiger and the duke
3) tiger and the duke [re-issue]
4) we must become the change we want to see [live dvd]

-(3) is the only one without craig owens. it has matt kelly instead.
-the only difference between (1) and (2) is an extra lyric by anthony green before "five on fire".
-(4) is, of course, live with vocals by anthony green and craig owens.
-on (4) anthony green switches up the lyrics a little. for example, he begins with "raise the bar, raise the bar" instead of "five on fire, raise the bar".


so before you guys insult each other over who sings what, recognize that you might have a different version of the song than whoever you're arguing with.

i also believe that, in every version, the third line, "we multiply" is actually "grace glorified".
