Portishead - Third: Wikipedia Album Entry

Third is the third studio album by English musical group Portishead, released on April 28, 2008 on Island Records in the UK and on April 29, 2008 on Mercury Records in the US. It represents a departure from their previous trip hop sound into a darker, rawer, more industrial style. It is their first release in 10 years, and their first studio album in 11 years. Equalling the performance of their first two studio albums in their native United Kingdom, Third entered the UK Album Chart at #2, and became the band's first ever U.S. Top 10 album on the Billboard 200, reaching #7 in its entry week.

Portishead - Silence Lyrics

Esteja alerta para as regras dos três
O que você dá, retornará para você
Essa lição, você tem que aprender
Você só ganha o que você merece

Portishead - Magic Doors Lyrics

I can't deny what I've become
I'm just emotionally undone
I can't deny, I can't be someone else

More Portishead - Magic Doors Lyrics

Portishead - Small Lyrics

If I remember the night that we met
Tasted a wine that I'll never forget
Opened the doorway and saw through the light
Motions of movement and I felt delight

More Portishead - Small Lyrics

Portishead - Machine Gun Lyrics

I saw a savior, a savior come my way
I thought I'd see it in the cold light of day
But now I realize that I'm only for me

Portishead - Deep Water Lyrics

I'm drifting in deep waters
Alone with my self-doubting again
Try not to struggle this time
For I will weather the storm

Portishead - We Carry On Lyrics

The taste of life I can't describe
It's choking on my mind
Reaching out I can't believe
The faith it can't decide

Portishead - Plastic Lyrics

I wonder why I don't know what you see
Of course I care, I won't pretend
It's just a thought, I've said enough

Portishead - The Rip Lyrics

As she walks in the room, scented and tall
Hesitating once more
And as I take on myself and the bitterness I felt
Realize that love flows

More Portishead - The Rip Lyrics

Portishead - Nylon Smile Lyrics

I'd like to laugh at what you said but I just can't find a smile
I wonder why I can't, I struggle with myself
Hoping I might change a little
Hoping that I might be someone I wanna be

More Portishead - Nylon Smile Lyrics

Portishead - Hunter Lyrics

No one said we'd ever know each other
A new evidence is what we require in this world
I stand on the edge of a broken sky
And I'm looking down, don't know why

More Portishead - Hunter Lyrics

Portishead - Threads Lyrics

Better if I could find the words to say
Whenever I take a choice it turns away

I'm worn, tired of my mind
