The Prisoner

1.The Prisoner (Howard Jones) sözleri

Howard Jones tarafından Best Of Howard Jones albümünde söylenen The Prisoner adlı şarkının sözleri.

You have watched me, safe in your anonymity
I have dreamed you, held in your security
Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes were the camera and you’ve take hold
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You’ve entered me now make me whole

Every place I go I feel your lenses trained on me
This distant concentration takes away my energy
Your image burns it’s negative
Behind my waking eyes
Then the night comes and you stalk your prize
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You’ve entered me now make me whole

Some people believe a photograph traps your mortal soul
Your eyes were the camera and you’ve taken hold
And you captured me
I need you to take control
I am a prisoner of no confidence
You’ve entered me now make me whole

2.The Prisoner (D.o.a) sözleri

D.o.a tarafından albümünde söylenen The Prisoner adlı şarkının sözleri.

(Keighley, C. Keighley. 1:51)
Apartment walls, halls are small
Government building site much too small
These tiny boxes won't let me out
These tiny boxes are too remote
It's a screaming mess
Television city dream
Your robot's eyes gleam
In my future dream
Yeah hey!
It's not fate or chance
It's the money in the bank
Burn their timber and gather their bricks
Drive'em into the fire, the bloody dicks
It's a screaming mess
And I am the prisoner
The prisoner, the prisoner
Go!
It's not fate or chance
Kick somebody in the face
Burn their timber and gather their bricks
Drive'em into the fire, the bloody dicks
It's a screaming mess
Television city dream
Your robot's eyes gleam
In my future dream
And I am the prisoner
The prisoner, the prisoner
Well I am the prisoner
The prisoner, the prisoner
The prisoner!

3.The Prisoner (Iron Maiden) sözleri

Iron Maiden tarafından albümünde söylenen The Prisoner adlı şarkının sözleri.

(smith/harris)

On the run kill to eat
You’re starving now you’re dead on your feet
Going all the way nature’s beast
Do what I want as I please

Run fight to breathe it’s tough
Now you see me now you don’t
Break the walls I’m coming out

Not a prisoner I’m a free man
And my blood is my own now
Don’t care where the past was
I know where I’m going ... out

If you kill me it’s self defence
If I kill you then I call it vengeance
Spit in your eye I will defy
You’ll be afraid when I call out your name

I’m not a number I’m a free man
I’ll live my life how I want to
You’d better scratch me from your black book
Cos I’ll run rings round you

4.The Prisoner (sasa) sözleri

sasa tarafından albümünde söylenen The Prisoner adlı şarkının sözleri.

I'm on the run, I'll kill to eat,
I'm starving now, feeling dead on my feet,
Going all the way, I'm nature's beast,
Do what I want, I'll do as I please;

Run, fight, to breathe it's tough,
Now you see me, now you don't,
Break the walls, I'm coming out;

[Nakarat]
Not a prisoner, I'm a free man,
And my blood is my own now;
Don't care where the past was,
I know where I'm going (OUT!)

If you kill me, it's self defence,
If I kill you then I call it vengeance;
Spit in your eye, I will defy,
You'll be afraid when I call out your name.

[Nakarat]

I'm not a number, I'm a free man,
Live my life where I want to,
You'd better scratch me from your black book,
'Cos I'll run rings round you.

5.The Prisoner (Ub40) sözleri

Ub40 tarafından albümünde söylenen The Prisoner adlı şarkının sözleri.

A misfit who is old before his time
Poverty has turned him to crime
Boredom gives him too much time to think
He pours another drink.

(Chorus)

A burning, bitter taste of irony

A prisoner in the land of the free.


He wonders why his landscape looks so strange
Burger bars are home on the range
An empty bottle falling from his hand
He does`nt understand.


(Chorus)

A burning, bitter taste of irony
A prisoner in the land of the free.


A cork unlocks the door to other lands
Of battles won and destinies in hand
A half-remembered state of liquid dreams
Where things aren`t what they seem.


(Chorus)

A burning, bitter taste of irony
A prisoner in the land of the free.

A naked savage dressed in shirt and jeans
A burning, bitter taste of irony
A prisoner in the land of the free.


(Chorus)

A burning, bitter taste of irony
A prisoner in the land of the free.

6.The Prisoner (Pro Pain) sözleri

Pro Pain tarafından albümünde söylenen The Prisoner adlı şarkının sözleri.

Break down the four walls forever
Time's up, set me free
I'll do what i want to whenever
Pissin off the powers that be
Led a life of death and destruction
Bet you'd like to see me die
A big nabd without interruption
Blood lust is satisfied
So what's the meaning of life?
And what do you suggest that i do with mine?
I'd like to get the whole world off of my chest
What's that look in your eyes?
I can tell when thing's ain't straight
Another voice inside me dies replaced with another fueled by hate and i hate all your lies
Look me straight in my eyes
I've done my time
Melt away the bars from this cell
It kinda makes you hard and cold
Life sucks in this private hell
It's not a place for you to grow old
This just a taste of tomorrow with the same ol' s... each day
Gotta lie, cheat, steal, or borrow
It's the good old fashioned way
So what the f... do you want?
What the f... do you need?
An invitation to hell on earth has been sent to you with a vip
But like a dog on a leash, restrained from a vicious attack
I'll try to f... you twice as hard as you plunge a grudge knife in my back
And i hate all your lies
Look me straight in my eyes
I've done my time.
