Renata Lyrics


Renata, you have put me down,
Like a toy you no longer need around.Renata, you have told me 'no',
Like a coin that's tossed, I don't know where to go.Am I a fool for hangin' on for you, Renata, like I do?
Am I a fool for hangin' around? Make up your mind. I'll be here when you do.Face into the truth, when you put your back into it, it's gonna startle you.
Face into the truth, what you're putting out is coming back to you.Renata, will I understand,
I might not have what it takes to be your man?Renata, one day you will see,
The simple joy just being around you brought me.Am I a fool for stickin' 'round for you,
Renata, like I do.Am I a fool for hangin' on, make up your mind,
I'll be here when you...Face into the truth, put your back into it, it looks good on you,
Face into the truth, what you're putting out, it's gonna startle you,
Startle you, oh...La la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la lo.
Oh.La la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la lo.Face into the truth, will you think about it, what else would you do?
Face into the truth, it's not about giving up, it's about me and you.Me and you.
Oh.Face into the truth, what you're putting out, it's gonna startle you,

Startle you. Oh.Face into the truth, put your back into it, it looks good on you,
Good on you. Oh.La la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la lo.
Yeah.La la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la,
La la la la la la la la la la.

Vocalist and guitarist for Irish rock group The Frames. Hansard quit school at age 13 to begin busking on local Dublin streets. He first came to public attention as guitar player 'Outspan Foster' in the Alan Parker film The Commitments, a role he subsequently regretted, believing it distracted from his music career. In 2003 he presented the first series of Other Voices: Songs from a Room, which showcased Irish music talent on RTÉ. He released The Swell Season, his first solo album, on April 21st 2006, in collaboration with a Czech singer and multiinstrumentalist Markéta Irglová, Marja Tuhkanen and Bertrand Galen.

Glen recently starred in the movie 'Once' alongside Markéta Irglová which won a prestigious Sundance Audience Award in 2007, as well as the 2008 Academy Award for Best Originial Song (for "Falling Slowly"), beating out three songs from the Disney musical "Enchanted" and one song from "August Rush" (both were heavy contenders). Its Irish release took place on 23rd March 2007 and appeared in cinemas further afield later in the year.

Glen's latest album, Rhythm and Repose, was released in June 2012.
