"the penny drops" içeren şarkı sözleri
Saltatio Mortis - Growth Over All
Driven by the desire for accrual
Drunk with velocity
Vanity, Growth, and Ego
are three deadly sins of our times.
I've been waiting for the sun to come up
Waiting for the showers to stop
Waiting for the penny to drop
One time
Massive Attack - Splitting the Atom
In adolescent menopause
In little clicks you got the music stops
The needle sticks and the penny drops
The summer's gone before you know
Rhys Lewis - No Right To Love You
Day breaks and when I turn
You're not on my pillow
My head shakes and then the penny drops
Still your t-shirt on my chair
Jennifer Rostock - We were here
We never saw through the bubbles, dreams grow slowly, burst loudly
Did we believe the happy ending would be infinite?
When the penny drops it drops penny by penny. 1
- 1. A "Groschen" was a 10-Pfennig coin used in Germany before the introduction of the Euro. The term "der Groschen ist gefallen" means about the same as the English term "the penny has dropped". "Pfennig" however also translates to penny. That is why this translation seems a little bit strange.
So we should only feed what will feed us
What will feed us
We're all subdued when the penny drops
We don't act because there's no need
Aquilo - Better Off as Strangers
Like a spider spinning webs, I got tanglеd.
I got chains on my ankles.
The penny drops when I miss you
and I can't help but believe in
And this friend of a friend was no friend all along
The penny drops from the top of Tour Eiffel
Through the boulevards to Taj Mahal
Enter Shikari - Kickin' Back on the Surface of Your Cheek
Deck chairs out lads, here's the spot
A spanking panoramic view
The soil here is silk
The air is selective:
You can′t hold what you can′t catch
It's a bitter business this running around
When the penny drops it′s a lonely sound
Easy in the atmosphere, the people stole the money.
Those of us who stand around
And wait until the penny drops,
Introducing isolated isotopes of worry.
(Verse 2)
So this is where the penny drops
We only seem look for it when it's lost
