Emmerdale

Sick & tired

Sick, tired and homeless
With no one here to sing for
Tired of being weightless
For all these looking good boys

You can always say my attic has its charm
You can always say you did no major harm
You can always that summer had its charm
And that you did no major harm
Oh, spare me if you please

Sick, tired an sleepless
With no one else to shine for
Sick of all my distress
But I won't show I'm still poor

Symptoms are so deep
Something here's so wrong
Nothing is complete
Nowhere to belong
Symptoms are so deep
I think I'd better stay
Here on my own
So spare me if you please

Black letter day 

I did all that I should, well all that I could
But will I be clean
I did all that I should, well all that I could
But it isn't me

All my strength is dead and gone

Slept as long I could, as long as I should
To find comfort here
Slept as long I could, as long as I should
But I still have fear

All my strength is dead and gone...

Black letter day
All the fun has gone away
Black letter day
All the joy has gone away
Black letter day
All my strength has gone away
Black letter day

I drank all that I could, much more than I should
In simple despair
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
To find someone there

All my strength is dead and gone...

Black letter day
All the fun has gone away
Black letter day
All the joy has gone away
Black letter day
All my strength has gone away
Black letter day

Once upon a time there was a scientist with the nose made of silver
He found that there were far too hurtless days a year that one could do without
He called them black letter days and the rest is silence

Well, all my strength is dead and gone...

Black letter day
All the fun has gone away
Black letter day
All the joy has gone away
Black letter day
All my strength has gone away
Black letter day

I hope monday will be a better day

In the afternoon 

Winter came by my bedroom today
Falling in rows and covering the lane
Morning shone on my windows today
Passing the time I slumber away
To kill all the day

Stumbling up at one
And put the kettle on
But wheres the coffee gone
In the afternoon
I put the TV on
But where's the drama gone
In the afternoon
And time is all that passes

Someone came by my bedroom today
Swaying around, then silently away
Someone left home and my bedroom today
Left by the time I slumbered away
To kill all the day

Some people don't hurry
Don't you worry they say
One day I'll be older
So much colder I say
This fear won't appear
If I keep stumbling up at one

Over the water

Turn away the collar
Because the blowing is dry
Walk away to the harbour
Before your ships will fly

Slip away and the pillow
Because it's falling off down
Trot away and around
Because your ships are found

Somewhere over the water
Next to a harbour
Someone's eager to listen

Turn away the collar
Because the blowing is dry
Walk away to the harbour
Before your ships will fly
Slip away and the pillow
Because it's falling off down
Trot away and around
Because your ships are found

Somewhere over the water
Next to a harbour
Someone to be in...

After all ...

After all you were perfectly right
But I'm scaring close to insanity
And on a night like this
Nothing stays the same
Nothing looks the same

After all you were perfectly right
Though our relation just split me in two
And on a night like this
Pieces fall apart
Visions fall apart

After all you were perfectly right
I have never been happy before
And on a night like this
You can hear the words
See behind the words

After all you were perfectly wrong
Though I thought I'd found love
And on a night like this
Nothing could be worse
Nothing could be worse

Cloudy sky

I'd catch some stars for you
And just for you
I'd paint the grey sky blue
And just for you

I'd catch some stars for you
And just for you
I'd paint the grey sky blue
And just for you

So don't tell me you want the rain

From a cloudy sky
To wash away the pain
That I've given you again
I've always tried to find
What satisfies your mind
But I will never know
Where you are to go
But I want you to know
Do you want a golden ring
I would buy you anything

I'd read some poems for you
Just for you
I hope they won't make you blue
Like they used to do

So please tell me they're like the rain

From this cloudy sky
To wash away the pain
That I've given you again
I've always tried to find
What satisfies your mind

Don't tell me you want the rain
Don't tell me you want the rain

From this cloudy sky
To wash away the pain
That I've given you again
I've always tried to find
What satisfies your mind
But I will never know
Where you are to go
But I want you to know
Do you want a golden ring
I would buy you anything

Our space

My dear, please see my dear
How we invented the fear
Inside that space
No one could interfere
My dear, please see my dear
How we invented the tears
Inside that space
No one could interfere

Rise & shine

Rise and shine
Rise and shine

I want to be alone for a while
I want earth to breathe to me
I want the waves to grow loud
I want the sun to bleed down
To bleed down

See the waves go down
See the moon alone
I raise my head and whisper

Rise and shine
Rise and shine my sister
Rise and shine
Rise and shine my sister

Rise and shine
Rise and shine my sister
Rise and shine
Rise and shine

I want to see the wounded moon
I want the sea to break through
I want it all to be gone tomorrow
So I've come to say goodbye
Say goodbye

See the waves go down
See the moon alone
I raise my head and whisper

Rise and shine
Rise and shine my sister
Rise and shine
Rise and shine my sister...

*** Thanx a lot to Lovely girl (!) who corrected a mistake ***

Celia inside

You don't want the sun to shine in
So you turn the curtains down
Your eyes still don't show me a thing
And you don't feel it's sunny outside

You don't want no joy for a while
But you stay up late at night
It hurts you that she's still alive
So you'll raise flowerbeds inside

But she, she won't get bothered at all
She's just watching the water at fall
So you should give them just what they need
Water and poetry
'Cause she will not bother at all
She's just watching the water at fall
You should give them just what they need
'Cause she will not bother at all
But you won't say you're not adored
By her beauty, celia inside

You don't want to feel her at all
But who's that fellowman of hers
With who, your dear celia moved
And they'll sleep happily inside

But you won't say you're not adored
By her beauty and her purity
And her lovely, celia inside

Sabbath bloody sabbath

You've seen life through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn

The race is run the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And now there's just no return

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

Seems hard
 
Seems hard to understand
I think no one can
Not anyone I know
No, wait I think I know
One who does
At least that's what he says

And what I mean is what I say
But I've got thoughts left anyway

Seems hard to understand
I'm not sure myself
Sure of what to think
I know I should trust myself
At least that's what he says

Seems hard to understand
I think no one did
Not anyone I knew
Well, I thought I knew
One who did
It was only as he said...

Last song

The night she died in the rented room
As the whole town was sleeping
She held her breath like a star in bloom
Could burn down tomorrow

The summer breeze was caressing me
As I walked through the market
The golden light of a friend beside
Had died out for good

No, nothing can amaze me
'Cause everything's behind me
No, nothing else can please me
Since all I had has been set free

The night before in the dining room
I recall it now
She said "I fear for you my love
'Cause I'll soon be leaving"

The autumn comes just like other years
But I won't see the signs
The sun above's sowing magic seeds
But it wants someone back

Life

Carnival

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

Carnival came by my town today
Bright lights from giantwheels
Fall on the alleyways
And I'm here
By my door
Waiting for you

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

I hear sounds of lovers
Barrel organs, mothers
I would like to take you
Down there
Just to make you mine
In a merry-go-round

Gordon's gardenparty

You in brown checked suit
Said my dress was very cute
I found you found me
Dancing in this melody
Heavenly!

We were swinging on so nice
Bubbly pink champagne on ice
Nancy, Jacques Closeau and Claire
I believe they all were there
Having the time of their lives

You had Rose's lime
Mixed with vodka, I had wine
People having fun
Cocktails in the evening sun
Give me one!

We were swinging on so nice
Bubbly pink champagne on ice
Nancy, Jacques Closeau and Claire
I believe they all were there
Having the time of their lives

La la la do de do de do

Daddy's car

We took off that sunny day
Packed our things and went away
Me and friends in daddy's car
To find out how summers are
Found a card to send from wherever we went

From Luxembourg to Rome
From Berlin to the moon
From Paris to Lausanne
From Athens to the sun
Our car became a spacecraft
Flashing through the world
Crashed down in Amsterdam

We'll take off some rainy day
Pack our things and go away
Families and hotelbars
To find out how summers are
Find a card to send to some really old friends

From Luxembourg to Rome
From Berlin to the moon
From Paris to Lausanne
From Athens to the sun
Our car became a spacecraft
Flashing through the world
Crashed down in Amsterdam

Sick & tired

Sick, tired and homeless
With no one here to sing for
Tired of being weightless
For all these looking good boys

You can always say my attic has its charm
You can always say you did no major harm
You can always that summer had its charm
And that you did no major harm
Oh, spare me if you please

Sick, tired an sleepless
With no one else to shine for
Sick of all my distress
But I won't show I'm still poor

Symptoms are so deep
Something here's so wrong
Nothing is complete
Nowhere to belong
Symptoms are so deep
I think I'd better stay
Here on my own
So spare me if you please

*** Thanx a lot to Daniel who corrected a mistake ***

Tomorrow

Someone's thinking of her
A fifteen hour trip away
Life is so much slower
Than a charter trip delay

Tomorrow, she won't feel half of this
Tomorrow morning is a sugar kiss
Tomorrow, heavenly no sorrow
She will lose gravity

Tomorrow...

Someone's thinking of the her
Trough the hazy scenery
Life is blue as water
When you're missing somebody

Tomorrow, she won't feel half of this
Tomorrow morning is a sugar kiss
Tomorrow, heavenly no sorrow
She will lose gravity

Tomorrow...

Rise & shine

I want to be alone for a while
I want earth to breathe to me
I want the waves to grow loud
I want the sun to bleed down

See the waves go down
See the moon alone
See the world unshown
I raise my head and whisper

Rise and shine
Rise and shine my sister

I want to see the wounded moon
I want the sea to break through
I want it all to be gone tomorrow
So I've come too say goodbye...

Beautiful one

Rise in the morning 
Shine til the dawning 

Smooth dreams in leaves 
Raised in a teacup 
Sticked down to sleep 
Like an envelope 
Filled up with words for you 

Wrapped up in curls 
Sweet as the summer 
Cheek soft as a fur 
Graze in a slumber 
Beautiful wonderboy 

Soft beams from an early sun 
On my truly beautiful one 
Shimmer from a Saturday sun 
On my truly beautiful one 

Rise in the morning 
Shine til the dawning 

Bright up from sleep
Lost in the blankets
Chased in like salt
Roses & candybars
Coffee & old cigars

Stretched out to breathe 
Down from the rooftops 
Sticked down to sleep 
Like an envelope 
Filled up with words for you 

Soft beams from an early sun 
On my truly beautiful one 
Shimmer from a Saturday sun 
On my truly beautiful one 

Rise in the morning 
Beautiful wonderboy

*** Thanx a lot to Chippy for this one ***

Travelling with Charley

Once he gets a mystic call
Jump into his motorcar
Once we're rolling down the road
He's forgotten where to go

Travelling with Charley
My detective darling

My agent hasn't solved a case
My agent never finds a trace
But Charley has always style
Charley is always nice

Poor Charley
He would be nothing without me

Once I clear his memory
But he'll crash into a tree
Once we're getting to the place
Someone else has solved the case

Travelling with Charley
My detective darling

My agent hasn't solved a case
My agent never finds a trace
But Charley has always style
Charley is always nice

Poor Charley
He would be nothing without me
But I do love him

Fine

Upon a roof below the moon
Nearby a park-bench in the sun
Upon the stairway to your room
Why won't you wrap your life around
Those certain words I just found

I wear your golden ring inside
Suits me very fine
I wear your golden heart in mine
Suits me very fine

A backseat sofa in the dark
Upon a viewpoint in our town
Nearby a fountain in a park
Why won't you wrap your life around
Those certain words I just found

I wear your golden ring inside
Suits me very fine
I wear your golden heart in mine
Suits me very fine
I wear your golden heart in mine
And life is very fine

Celia Inside

You don't want the sun to shine in

But she, she won't get bothered at all
She's just watching the water at fall
So you should give them just what they need
Water and poetry
'Cause she will not bother at all
She's just watching the water at fall
You should give them just what they need
'Cause she will not bother at all
But you won't say you're not adored
By her beauty, celia inside

You don't want to feel her at all
But who's that fellowman of hers
With who, your dear celia moved
And they'll sleep happily inside

But you won't say you're not adored
By her beauty and her purity
And her lovely, celia inside

Hey! Get out of my way

Listen baby
Thoughts has crossed my mind
And it's clear now
You are not my kind
Oh! I've tried boy
Better ways to say
What I feel now
It seems you plan to stay
But I won't waste a day
So I say...

Hey! get out of my way
Hey! hey! hey!
You've always been in my way

Hear now honey
I'll be good to you
If you stay gone
Far out of my view
I'm sick and tired
Of your dramatic ways
And when I think of
All those wasted days
I shake loose of your laces
And say...

Hey! get out of my way
Hey! hey! hey!
You've always been in my way

This is all that I will say
This is all that I will do
I'm not in love with you!

After All...

After all you were perfectly right
But I'm scaring close to insanity
And on a night like this
Nothing stays the same
Nothing looks the same

After all you were perfectly right
Though our relation just split me in two
And on a night like this
Pieces fall apart
Visions fall apart

After all you were perfectly right
I have never been happy before
And on a night like this
You can hear the words
See behind the words

After all you were perfectly wrong
Though I thought I'd found love
And on a night like this
Nothing could be worse
Nothing could be worse

First band on the moon

Your new cuckoo

I saw you there
I stopped and stared
The curly girlie smiled
You really were
Too close to her
And people just went by

I saw your face
And her embrace
Your whisper in her ear
I know the score
'Cause I've heard it before
I read your lips with fear

Your words were clear (you said)

La-la-la-la-la-la
Let's say forever, let's say it's true
La-la-la-la-la-la-
Let's come together, me and you
La-la-la-la-la-la
Your new cuckoo

Been it

Baby boy
Your face is pretty and your life's a toy
Master man
I'm never better than your latest plan
Poor donee
What are you gonna try to be
Where are you gonna go without me now

I've been your mother, I've been your father
Who can ask me for more
I've been your sister, I've been your mistress
Maybe I was your whore
Who can ask me for more

Superstar
I've tried to educate your childish heart
I made your bed
And I was in it when your faith was dead
Poor donee
What are you gonna try to be
Where are you gonna go without me now

Sweetiepie
I'm your personal pro, you know
You know what number to try when to cry

Heartbreaker

No, not again
Oh, what a man
Just who I thought that I wanted to have
Oh, don't do that
Don't use that bat
That's all it takes to make me falling flat

No, not again
A loser I am

I love you tonight
You are my knight
Cure and assure and make me feel alright
Tomorrow you'll find
I'm not around
But don't be uptight
'Cause I loved you last night

Vacant and free
Yeah, that is me
Just tell me how and I'll please you for free
Tell me I'm good
I know I'm bad
Lies make me feel fine although it is sad

Oh, not again
Not one more man

Happy meal II

Arrange my books in order
Make up some nice stories to amuse you
Make things look smart and easy
Shape up the place
Hungry for the meeting
The dinner we'll be eating
Wine that we'll be drinking
And kinky thoughts I'm thinking
All because of you

And now I've found a partner
No one can be happier than I am
And now I've found a new friend
No one can be happier than me

Prepare a meal with candles
Sweet wine and strings
Chosen for the purpose
Then take a bath with bubbles
Shape up my face
Eager for the meeting
The dinner we'll be eating
Wine that we'll be drinking
And kinky thoughts I'm thinking
All because of you

Never recover

How I always memorize
Every single misery
And I seem to glorify
Everything inside of me

And the hero never dies
If the lover hides
Between the sheets
There' no escape
'Cause you can't sleep
And then you'll see
You're just like me...

That's what you called waste of time
I'll be waiting down the line
That's what you called waste of time
Waiting for your valentine
That's what you called waste of time
I know where your hero hides
That's why you don't sleep tonight
That's what I call life

With a hero in the past
You hang on to history
Such a loss will always last
And there's no recovery

And the hero never dies
If the lover hides
Between the sheets
There' no escape
'Cause you can't sleep
And then you'll see
You're just like me...

That's what you called waste of time
I'll be waiting down the line
That's what you called waste of time
Waiting for your valentine
That's what you called waste of time
I know where your hero hides
That's why you don't sleep tonight

That's what I call, that's what you call
That's what I call, that's what you call
That's what I call, that's what you call
That's what I call, that's what you call life

That's what you called waste of time
That's what you called waste of time
That's what you called waste of time
That's why you don't sleep tonight
Waiting for your valentine

Step on me

Oh, I think you're standing on my left foot
It's hurting, but that's ok
'Cause I'm in your way

You'll break that foot that
You're standing on
I'll walk with the other one

Do what you want to do what you want to
Be what you want to be what you want to
Go on and step on me

You're free to have everything
You can see, all that you want to be
Do what you want with me

Oh, I think you're spinning inside my head
I think of you all the day
'Cause you're in my way

Oh, I think you're holding the heart of mine
Squeeze it apart, that's fine
Go ahead and step on me

Lovefool

Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
You love me no longer, I know and
Maybe there is nothing that I can do
To make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
That I ought to stick to another man
A man that surely deserves me
But I think you do!

So I cry and I pray and I beg

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me

So I cry and I beg for you to

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you...

Lately I have desperately pondered,
Spent my nights awake and I wonder
What I could have done in another way
To make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
As long as you don't go

So I cry, I pray and I beg

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me love me
Pretend that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me

So I cry and I beg for you to

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Leave me leave me
Just say that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you
Anything but you

Love me love me
Say that you love me
Fool me fool me
Go on and fool me
Love me love me
I know that you need me
I can't care 'bout anything but you

Losers

Close your eyes

Look at all these losers
You find them everywhere
They're fucked up and annoying
But somehow you seem to care
It's easier to laugh
But something makes you stick around
You can't watch from above
And keep your ten toes in the sand

You wish that you were special
I'm just like you

Close your eyes
That'll be the day you'll find those lies
Fold your ears
That'll be the day that you will hear

Close your eyes
That'll be the day you'll find those lies
That'll be the day that you
Get back home

It's lonely to be strange
And you would never tell
That you're one of these itches
You know it much too well
Losers are your weakness
They will always touch your heart
You're touching me as well
'Cause I have always been a part

You wish that you were special
I'm just like you
You're just like me
We're just like them
They're just like us

Close your eyes
That'll be the day you'll find those lies
Fold your ears
That'll be the day that you will hear

Close your eyes
That'll be the day you'll find those lies
Fold your ears
That'll be the day that you will hear

That'll be the day you
Get back home

Iron man

I'm Iron Mind

Has he lost his mind
Can he see or is he blind
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall

Is he alive or dead
Has he thoughts within his head
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care

Oh Iron Man

He was turned to steel
In that great magnetic field
When he travelled time
For the future of mankind

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

No, nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
And nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

*** Thanx a lot to Lovelygirl who corrected a mistake ***

Great divide

There's a monster growing in our heads
Raised up on the wicked things we've said
A great divide between us now
Something we should know

There's something to remember
And something to forget
As long as we remember
There's something to regret
Something we should know

There's a mountain higher than we knew
It's high but such a bitter view
A great divide between us now
Something we should know

A great divide between us now
On different sides of a great divide

Choke

A common line
I close my eyes
But couldn't let it go
The perfect time
I dropped my guard
And lost but won somehow

It's rather sad
It feels like we've never
Made it together since

One word ahead
And you'd be dead
I held you in my throat
I stumble by
Attached to you
I couldn't let it go

It's rather sad
It's really sad
It feels like we've never
Made it together since

We'll never have the guts to discover
We'll choke on it and die...

Gran Turismo

Paralyzed

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all
The sweetest way to die
It lies deep inside
You can not hide
It's the meanest fire
Oh, it's a strange desire
You can not lie
That's a needless fight

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all
The sweetest way to die

When your blood runs dry
You're paralyzed
It will eat your mind
Did you hold it back
It comes to you in slow attacks
It's the meanest fire

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all

This is where your sanity gives in
And love begins
Never lose your grip
Don't trip
Don't fall
You'll lose it all

The sweetest way to die

Erase / Rewind

Hey, what did you hear me say
You know the difference it makes
What did you hear me say
Yes, I said it's fine before
But I don't think so no more
I said it's fine before

I've changed my mind I take it back
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind
I've changed my mind

So where did you see me go
It's not the right way, you know
Where did you see me go
No, it's not that I don't know
I just don't want it to grow
It's not that I don't know

I've changed my mind I take it back
Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind

Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind

Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind

Erase and rewind
'Cause I've been changing my mind

I've changed my mind

Explode

Ease your trouble
We'll pay them double
Not to look at you for a while
And you rely on
What you get high on
And you last just as long as it serves you

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Yes, we will carry you

'Cause you're deserted
What's good, you hurt it
And it kills you it keeps you alive
So give it up
In a world of puppets
It's a shame what they do to us all

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Yes, we will carry you

Can we do anything for you now

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it

Explode or implode
Explode or implode
We will take care of it
Yes, we will carry you

Starter

This is a start
That I know I'll believe in
So I'm leavin' everything behind

Keeping the parts
That I know I'll be needing
And I breed to be a better kind
And I'm leavin' everyone behind

This is the age
When my past should be gone
But it's just stronger than the aims I have

Turning the pages
I used to hang on to
I was young and I have changed my mind

And I'm leaving everything behind

New beginning again
A bit closer
New beginning again
A little bit closer
New beginning again
A bit closer to the end

New beginning again
A little bit closer to the end

This is the time
It's a delicate line
To the beginning of what's yet to come
Lifetimes of changes
A strange generation
Explanations never come in time

So I'm leavin' everything behind

New beginning again
A bit closer
New beginning again
A little bit closer
New beginning again
A bit closer to the end

New beginning again
A litle bit closer to the end
New beginning again
A litle bit closer to the end

Hanging Around

I wonder what it's like
Seeing through your eyes
You've offered me to have a try
But I was always late
The filters that I use
Give me an an excuse
I take away what's real
I feel it and it blows my fuse

I hang around
For another round
I'm hanging around
For another round
I'm hanging on
To the same old song
I hang around
For another round
Until something stops me

I wonder what it's like
Walking by your side
To think before I talk
And to move at the same speed as you walk
I want to have a weight
To keep me in your state
I'm watching from above
I love it but it's not for me

I hang around
For another round
I'm hanging around
For another round
I'm hanging on
To the same old song
I hang around
For another round
Until something stops me

Higher

I'm glad you came around today
I sure need a good companion
I'm losing it but you're the same
Without you I move at random
Abusing you 'cause you're a friend
And there's no Jesus here to explain

And take me higher
Come take me higher
Come take me high above our time
Take me higher
Oh take me higher
Come take me high above our time
We'll make it out of here...
Oh yeah

You justify, you're not afraid
And I won't feel like this forever
You wait with me, because you know
There's so much more than this before we go

To take us higher
Come take us higher
Come take us high above our time
Take us higher
Oh take us higher
Come take us high above our time
We'll make it out of here
Come take us out of here
Take us anywhere...
Oh yeah

Take us higher
Come take us higher
Come take us high above our time
Take us higher
Oh take us higher
Come take us high above our time
We'll make it out of here
Oh yeah

Marvel Hill

Strange to be on Marvel Hill
I've walked some years to find
I know there is a piece to fill
The gap I have in mind
No, nothing's here, I close my eyes
It's on the other side
And what I've worked so hard to gain
I'd gladly give away

'Cause I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more

A postcard from where life's a thrill
On top of Marvel Hill

But I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more
No, I don't need this
Too good to be true
Too good to ignore
I don't need this
I need so much more
It's too much to ask for

My Favourite Game

I don't know what you're looking for
You haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up and spread me all around
In the dust of the deed of time

And this is not a case of lust, you see
It's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
But in the end it's always me alone

And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
Losing my favourite game

I only know what I've been working for
Another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
But my experiment is not getting us anywhere

I had a vision I could turn you right
A stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
My heart is black and my body is blue

And I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
Losing my favourite game

I'm losing my favourite game
You're losing your mind again
I've tried
I've tried
But you're still the same
I'm losing my baby
You're losing a saviour and a saint

Do You Believe ?

Do you really think
That love is gonna save the world
Well, I don't think so
I just don't think so
Do you really think
That love is gonna save your soul
Well I sure hope so
Oh, I really really hope so
But I don't think so

Do you really think
That love is gonna save the world
Well, I don't think so
I just don't think so
Do you really think
That love is gonna save your soul
Well I sure hope so
Oh, yes I really really hope so
But I don't think so

Junk Of The Hearts

We never chose to part
In this stupid play
I never felt by heart
That I could behave
The way the roles were made

I know that I've done you wrong
But you're hard to please
When your faith is gone
And when you can't believe
I'm on my hands and knees

The junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts

It's the junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts

It's the junk of the hearts

I've given all of me
And you crave for more
Weird how this makes us feel
Insecure
That's what friends are for

The junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts

It's the junk of the hearts
The junk of the hearts

It's the junk of the hearts

The other side of the mood

War

( A Life Less Ordinary's Soundtrack )

Oh, come crush me now
Don't leave
No one has won this war
This time

No, don't sleep tonight
I'm hurt and ready for fire
Don't leave me up
Alarmed and ready to die

Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on

Please, I'm almost done
Don't retreat
I've loaded my gun
With blood, with...

Hear the dust roll over the floor
Why must you sleep?
Come crush me now
I'm armed
And ready to die

Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
Come crush me now
Come on, fight me, come on
Come on, it's war, come on

You look so peaceful when you sleep
Beautiful creep
It's such an easy way to choose you lose

It's getting late
Come on, it's war, come on
Come crush me now
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, fight me, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
Come crush me now
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on

You look so peaceful when you sleep
Beautiful creep
It's such an easy way to choose you lose

I Figured Out

He showed me around
To be found alone
He cleaned his room
On his own to be known

So, I figured out
With no doubt
What he was about
In his room
On his own

You say "don't worry"
But did you ever see us
What he does, bothers
You say "don't worry"
But did you ever see us
What he does, bothers...

Plain Parade

Plain parade
Well, where is all the profit laid
Plain parade
Well, maybe we have lost our way

Some are lone
Sickly running from
Something so wrong
And nowhere to belong

Plain parade
Well, when will I be repaid
Plain parade
I might join you on another day

Some are lone
Sickly running from
Something so wrong
And nowhere to belong

All you've given me is sadness
Proof enough to feel I'm loveless
I wish that I could manage better now
And find a place that I can settle down

Pooh Song

When the cats and dogs are falling
I'm recalling you
You said I'd be bored today
And I don't know what I want to do

Wise eyes telling twice
Dance like penguins on my table
Ain't my kind of joy
On every Friday night

I'm just whistling on a song

When I'm out of milk and honey
I'm recalling you
When my walls are closing in
I always have a place to go

Wise eyes tell me twice
Dance like penguins on my table
Ain't my kind of joy
On every Friday night

I'm just whistling on a song
(Songs I know, songs we wrote)
I'm just whistling on a song
(Songs I know, songs we wrote)
I'm just whistling on a song
(Songs I know, songs we wrote together)
(Songs I know)
I'm just whistling on a song

When my world is far too evil
I'm recalling you
Things are hard to understand
There's a little that I really know

Wise eyes telling twice
Dance like penguins on my table
Ain't my kind of joy
Every Friday night

I'm just whistling on a song
(Songs I know, songs we wrote)
I'm just whistling on a song
(Songs I know, songs we wrote)
I'm just whistling on a song
(Songs I know, songs we wrote together)
(Songs I know)
I'm just whistling on a song

I'm just whistling on a song...

Mr Crowley

( Ozzy Osbourne )

Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
Was it polemically sent
l wanna know what you meant
I wanna know
I wanna know what you meant

The boys are back in town

( Philip Lynott of Thin Lizzy )

Guess who just got back today?
Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think those cats are great

They were asking if you were around
How you was, where you could be found
I told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town

You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming

That night over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
If the boys want to fight, you'd better let them

That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town

Carnival (Puck Version)

Carnival came by my town today
Bright lights from giantwheels
Fall on the alleyways
And I'm here
By my door
Waiting for you

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

Come on and love me now

I here sounds of lovers
Barrel organs, 'cause mothers
I would like to take you
Down there
Just to make you mine
In a merry-go-rou

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now

Come on and love me now

Nasty Sunny Beam

I can't get out of bed
Can't get my dreams out
Of my sleepy head

I open up my eyes
And wonder where you are
But soon I realize
That you're not real
And I am

In between of day and dream
Life and death a lazy stream
In between of day and dream
Hello, goodbye
You nasty sunny beam

I try to seal my mind
Get back to where you were
You were that perfect kind
You drove me crazy somewhere

In between of day and dream
Life and death a lazy stream
In between of day and dream
Hello, goodbye
You nasty sunny beam

I'm floating down again
And my world is a syrup waterfall
I can't remember when
Or where or why

In between of day and dream
Life and death a lazy stream
In between of day and dream
Hello, goodbye
You nasty sunny beam

Iron man

I'm Iron Mind

Has he lost his mind
Can he see or is he blind
Can he walk at all
Or if he moves will he fall

Is he alive or dead
Has he thoughts within his head
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care

Oh Iron Man

He was turned to steel
In that great magnetic field
When he travelled time
For the future of mankind

Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold

No, nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
And nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

*** Thanx a lot to Fernando for this one ***

Blah Blah Blah

Hi, how are you I'm pretty fine
Your eyes are red, well I am tired
Please stay away from what is mine
Blah blah blah blah blah blah

My, I never thought of seeing you here
I'm really glad to meet you darling
Where did we lose it, will you call

All we ever say
Is blah blah blah blah blah
We feel safe
With blah blah blah blah blah

No one's hurt
No one's weird
So all we ever say
Is blah blah blah blah blah

Don't try to reach me I am numb
And I don't want to look inside you
So let's just talk about the times
(Like normal people do!)

Losers ( First try )

All these losers
Everywhere
They annoy me
Still I care
You wish that you were special
I'm just like you

Close your eyes
That'll be the day you'll find those lies
Fold your ears
That'll be the day that you will hear
That'll be the day
Get back home

Moved by weirdoes
My weak, weak heart
I will always
Be a part
You wish that you were special
I'm just like you

Close your eyes
That'll be the day you'll find those lies
Fold your ears
That'll be the day that you will hear
That'll be the day
Get back home

Country Hell

Such a foolish thing
What a way to be
I couldn't stay in here
And it's not right to leave
I couldn't tell you how
But all the things I feel
Have their qualities

If you fall apart
Fall into my arms
One uneasy morning
Doesn't make me leave

Such a simple thing
What a way to say
I couldn't help myself
For my foolish ways
You couldn't tell me how
But all the things you feel
Have their qualities

Long gone before daylight

*** Thanx a lot to Stephanie for this one ***

Communication

For twenty seven years I've been trying
To believe and confide in
Different people I found

Some of them got closer than others
And some wouldn't even bother
And then you came around

I didn't really know what to call you
You didn't know me at all
But I was happy to explain

I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through
The little holes in your veins

And I saw you
But that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know how to connect
So I disconnect

You always seem to know where to find me
And I'm still here behind you
In the corner of your eye

I'll never really learn how to love you
But I know that I love you
Through the hole in the sky

Where I see you
And that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know how to connect
So I disconnect

Well, this is an invitation
It's not a threat
If you want communication
That's what you get
I'm talking and talking
But I don't know how to connect

And I hold
A record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation

I need you, you want me
But I don't know how to connect
So I disconnect

I disconnect

*** Thanx a lot to Mircea for this one ***

You're The Storm

Oh it's healing bang bang bang
I can hear your cannons call
You've been aiming at my land
Your hungry hammer is falling

And if you want me I'm your country

I'm an angel bored like hell
And you're a devil meaning well
You steal my lines and you strike me dumb
Come raise your flag upon me

And if you want me I'm your country
If you win me I'm forever
Oh Yeah

Cause you're the storm that I've been needing
and all this peace has been deceiving
I like the sweet life and the silence
But it's the storm that I believe in

Come and conquer and drop your bombs
Cross my borders and kill the calm
Bear your fangs and burn my wings
I hear bullets singing

And if you want me I'm your country
If you win me I'm forever
Oh Yeah

'Cause you're the storm that I've been needing
And all this peace has been deceiving
I need some wind to get me sailing
So it's the storm that I believe in

You fill my heart you keep me breathing
'Cause you're the storm that I believe in
And if you want me I'm your country

*** Thanx a lot to Mircea & Oana & Vincent for this one ***

A Good Horse

It takes no match to give me a spark
Now I'm trying out another heart
I've been whining 'bout a fresh start
I found myself a good horse

Hey!

I spurred it over quicksand
And I rode it through a hollow land
I fed it with a shaky hand
I found myself a strong horse

These are the promises I can keep
These are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
In grace

I found myself a good horse
Yes, I found myself a strong horse
But things remained no different than before

Oh These are the promises I can keep
Yes, These are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
These are the promises I can keep

Oh These are the promises I can keep
These are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
In grace
In grace
In grace

*** Thanx a lot to Mircea & Bev for this one ***

And Then You Kissed Me

Man, I've had a few
But they wouldn't quite blow me like you
You gave me your name and signed
With a halo around my eye

And it hit me like never before
That love is a powerful force
Yes, it struck me that love is a sport
So I pushed you a little bit more

Love, you're news to me
You're a little bit more that I thought you'd be
A mole in my well-fed lawn
You're a nightmare beating the dawn

Oh, it hit me like never before
That love is a powerful force
Yes, it struck me that love is a sport
So I pushed you a little bit more

Blue, blue, black and blue
Red blood sticks like glue
True love is cruel love
Red blood's a power fuel
Sweet love, tasty blood
My heart overfloods

Oh you hit me!
Yeah, you hit me really hard
Man you hit me!
Yeah, you hit me right in the heart

Lord I've had my deal
But I never quite knew how it feels
When love makes you wake up sore
With fists that are ready for more

And it hit me that love is a game
Like in war, no one can be blamed
Yes, it struck me that love is a sport
So I pushed you a little bit more

Oh, blue, blue, black and blue
Red blood sticks like glue
True love is cruel love
Red blood's a power fuel
Sweet love, tasty blood
My heart overfloods

Man, you hit me!
Yeah, you hit me really hard
Baby, you hit me!
Yeah, you punched me right in the heart
And then you kissed me

And then you hit me...
And then you kissed me
And then you hit me

Oh you haunt me with your violent heartbeat at night
Oh you strike me with your silence baby, tonight
Why you haunt me with your violence baby, come hit me!
You haunt me with your violent heartbeat

*** Thanx a lot to Mircea & Bev & Fulhasch for this one ***

Couldn't care less

Oh, my heart can't carry much more
It's really, really aching and sore
My heart don't care anymore
I really can't bear more

My hands don't work like before
I shiver and I scrape at your door
My heart can't carry much more
But you couldn't care less, could you

Your face don't look like before
It's really not like yours anymore
Your eyes don't like me no more
They quiver and they shift to the floor

My heart don't beat like before
It's never been this slow
No,my blood don't flow anymore
And you couldn't care less, could you

Could we stop and sleep for a spell
We can turn this ditch into a well
And send that old devil back to hell
But we really don't care, do we

Baby, let's stop and sleep for a spell
We can turn this ditch into a well
And send that old devil back to hell

Your back's not straight like before
You really shouldn't carry me no more
I'm much too heavy for you
I'm really quite a mess, yes

We just don't care anymore
We're crooked and we're cut to the core
We're just not there anymore
But we really don't care, do we
No, we couldn't care less...
We couldn't care less...

Could we?

*** Thanx a lot to Spark & Mircea for this one ***

Please Sister

With a sampled heartbeat and a stolen soul
I sold my songs to have my fortune told
And it said : "You should know that love will never die
But see how it kills you in the blink of an eye"

I know of love as hot white light
That knocks you down and then leaves you dry
Oh, how can it be, sweet mama tell me why
Why all love's disciples have to wither and die

Please sister help me, come on, do what you should
Please give me something, I'm not doing so good
I'm gone, done wrong, is there nothing you can say
Please sister help me, I'm not feeling OK

Give me belief that my time will come
And a toll-free helpline if I find someone
But she said : "You gave away what you never really had
And now your purse is empty, I can see why you're sad"

Oh, please sister help me, come on, do what you should
Please give me something, I'm not doing so good
I'm gone, done wrong, is there nothing you can say
Please sister help me, can you make me feel OK

So if it's true that love will never die
Then why do the lovers work so hard to stay alive

Please...
Oh, please sister, help me!
Please, give me something
Oh... Please sister, you know I do what I can
Oh, sweet mama please just send me a man
'Cause I'm gone, gone, is there nothing you can give?
Please sister, help me, I just need some love to live

Just a little love to live
And a little love to sing

*** Thanx a lot to Mircea & Duaa for this one ***

For What It's Worth

(one, two, three, four)

Hey baby, come 'round
Keep holding me down
And I'll be keeping you up tonight

A four-letter word got stuck in my head
The dirtiest word that I've ever said
It's making me feel alright

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

For what it's worth, I'm gonna run, run, run
'Til the sweetness gets to you
And what is worse, I love you

Hey please baby, come back
There'll be no more lovin' attacks
And I'll be keeping it cool tonight
The four-letter word is out of my head
Come on around, get back in my bed
Keep making me feel alright

For what it's worth, I like you
And what is worse, I really do
Things have been worse
And we had fun, fun, fun
'Til I said "I love you"
And what is worse, I really do

For what is worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do, oh

For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do, oh
For what it's worth, I love you
And what is worse, I really do

Lead me into the night

I went too far, yes I came too close
I drove away the one that I loved the most
Now I ride the tide on a boat made of sand
I'm sailing for another to guide me to land

And lead me into the night
Please drive away the light
'Cause I've been blinded by glitter and gold
My eyes need to rest from this light
And sleep well at night

I travelled east and I travelled west
And I found a boy with a heart on his chest
I ran aground, my ship left to rust
Yes, I found a guide in the city of lust

To lead me into the night
Oh, please drive away the light
Although my mother will never understand
I walk with him away from the light
And into the night

Oh, you, you, you, it's gotta be you
You, oh you, it's gotta be you
True, true, it's true, it's gotta be you
You, oh you, it's gotta be you

To lead me into the night

Well I went too far and I came too close
I drove away the first one and now he's a ghost
And I went adrift on a boat made of sand
It was leaking like a sieve, but I made it to land

He leads me into the night
He drives away the light
He makes the darkness seem bright
And walks with me into the night
Away from the light

*** Thanx a lot to Mircea for this one ***

Live And Learn

I came home in the morning
And everything was gone
Oh, what have I done
I dropped dead in the hallway
Cursing the dawn
Oh come on sun

Why must I burn
I'm just trying to learn

I stared into the light
To kill some of my pain
It was all in vain
'Cause no senses remained
But an ache in my body
And regret on my mind
But I'll be fine

'Cause I live and I learn
Yes, I live and I learn
If you live you will learn
And I live and I learn

Got kicked in the head
So I started a fight
'Cause I knew I was right
But I learned I was wrong
I remember a slaughter
I remember I fought
Fought for the money I'd brought
I got blistered and burned
And lost what I'd earned
But I lived and I learned
Yes, I lived and I learned

I've got, I've got it now
I've got, I've got it now
(She's got, she's got it now!)
I've got, I've got it now
She's got it now
I've got, I've got it now
(She's got, she's got it now!)

I came to on a corner
With some help from a man
Goddamn I don't seem to have learned
That a lady in need is guilty indeed
So I paid and got laid in return
And I don't know what I've learned

Well, you get what you give
And hell, yes, I lived
But if you live as you learn
I don't think I can learn

Oh, with the sun in my eyes, surprise!
I'm living a life
But I don't seem to learn
No, I don't think I can learn

*** Thanx a lot to Mircea & Bev for this one ***

Feathers And Down

So you're tryin' to do what they did
Your friends that turned to liquid
And got lost in a sea
Now you're drowning me

With your talk of four-leaf clovers
You turn to rocks and omen
To beat the ambient harm
That is bruising your karma

Oh, I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
So you can rest and repair
Without the blanket of sorrow

The thick and the gray
Your blanket of woe
Is so heavy and stained
And it only weighs you down

Oh...

So you thought that getting sober
Would mean your life was over
I don't think it's that bad
I don't think it's that sad

Just you sleep a little, baby
Leave the world alone and later
If you wake up alive
That old blanket of sorrow

Could be feathers and down
Your blanket of woe
Would leave you alone
And I could love you 'til you drown

Come to me, let's drown
Come baby, let's drown
In feathers and down

*** Thanx a lot to Mircea & Bev for this one ***

03.45 : No Sleep

It's way too late to think of
Someone I would call now
The neon signs got tired
Red eye flights help the stars out
I'm safe in a corner
Just hours before me

I'm waking with the roaches
The world has surrendered
I'm dating ancient ghosts
(the ones I made friends with)
The comfort of fireflies
Long gone before daylight

And if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God lent his voice to me to speak

I'd say: "Go to bed, World!"

I've always been too lame
To see what's before me
And I know nothing sweeter than
Champagne from last new year's
Sweet music in my ears
And a night full of no fear

But If I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God passed the mike to me to speak
I'd say: "Stay in bed, World... Sleep in peace!"

*** Thanx a lot to JC & Mircea for this one ***

If There Is A Chance

The music's playing on
But something's wrong
Something's gone
The major's turning blue
And so did you
So did you

I'm noticing the dirt
And it hurts that you left
You really had to go
So you say
So you say

Birds leave their nests
And they fly
There's nobody left here but i

If there is a chance
Just one in this world
That we'll ever dance
Again as it turns
If there is a chance
If there is a way
There's one record left
That you haven't heard

The neighbours had to move
Go away
Go away
I can't afford to leave
So i'll stay
I have to stay

Birds know it's best
To fly
And not stick around and cry

If there is a chance
Just one in this world
That we'll ever dance
Again as it turns
If there is a chance
If there is a way
There's one record left
That you haven't heard
And i'll keep it spinning...

*** Thanx a lot to Troels for this one ***

Hold me

Hold me, don't ever leave me
Know me, never believe me
Stay here but don't get too near me
Leave me, leave me alone
But don't ever let me go

Show me, but don't ever teach me
Touch me, don't try to reach me
Hold me but don't ever keep me
Baby, don't ever let me in

And don't let me win

'Cause i leave myself to you
Yes, i release myself with you
I believe in me and you
So don't ever say you do

Love me, try not to need me
Need me but don't let the greed in
Feel free but don't ever leave me
Give in, don't ever let me
No, don't ever let me win

Hold me, don't ever leave me
Ask me but don't ever make me
Save me, don't ever forsake me
Call me but don't ever say my name

Know what you do

'Cause i leave myself to you
Yes i release myself with you
I believe in me and you
So don't ever say you do

Don't let me win
Just hold me

And you say "nina nina ninana...."

Now how can i let you go?

Hold me, don't ever leave me
Love me but don't ever let me
No, don't ever let me win

For the boys

Burn it all and break your home
This one's for the boys
You're a vain and shameless man
But hell, i love your voice

Skinny fingers and mumbling mouths
I'd like to mark your words
'Cause sometimes i don't trust you
When you're singing
Of love and play
It's the story of you

Losing to your daydream
You dancing with a smokescreen
Goin'under with your daydream
In the wake of the big machine

Honey honey and money and man
All my lonely boys
Easy with the slight of hand
You're talking sweet
'Bout the pain and the ladies

And sometimes you look ugly
When you're happy
And sometimes you look better
When you're down
A real good song
It's the story of you

Losing to your daydream
You dancing with a smokescreen
Goin' under with your daydream
You're sliding through the big sleep

Man, you can sing
Like you're tryin' to break my heart
And you can hate
And you can blame it on the stars
You're strung up in your guitar
You're strung out on who you are
Now come on boys, it's time you let it go

See me losing to your daydream
See me dancing with your smokescreen
Going under with your daydream

In the wake of the big machine
In the wake of the big machine
In the wake of the big machine

Losing a friend

You're losing a friend
You got it all wrong
It’s not about revenge
But you're losing a friend

I didn't see it coming
With my head stuck in the sand
But now I’m losing a friend

And it's keeping me up
It's the ribbons I tied
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Than let you go

You're losing a friend
You jeopardize me
Bad bad blood on your hands
And see, you're losing a friend

I'm fickle and I’m vain
And you trick me over and over again
And now I’m losing you

And it's killing me
It's the strings that I tie
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Then let it all go

My mistake
To lose you

Oh no, oh no!
So this the end now
I'm losing you
Oh, look at you!
Look what you're wasting
You're losing a friend
Oh no, oh no!
I'm losing a friend
Oh, oh oh no

Godspell

I've heard about a great big swindle
I read about it in a book
The book flew out the window
Was later found by thieves and crooks

And now they're singing hallelujah
I'm wondering just what did they find
They say "what's it to ya?"
Just take a place in line

And wait
So I wait
I wait
And wait
And I...

I’m one of the few survivors
In a drawer labeled "lost and found"
Moon travelers and deep sea divers
Whose oxygen supply ran out

Now maybe if their gods be willing
They'll give us something, fill our empty cups
Sit down in the boat, don’t spill it
Or we'll just have to line back up

And wait
So we wait
We wait
And wait
Yes we wait
And we wait
We will wait
We will wait
'Til we...

You can hear it in the beat they march to
And you can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
You can tell by the way they move you
It's not murder, it's an act of faith, baby

And as the world moves faster
Whiplashing us round and round
It's quite a slow disaster
But people keep on falling down

As they wait
We wait
Yeah!
And we wait
We wait
And we wait
we wait
Hallelujah!

Drip drop teardrop

I'm gonna watch you while you get me wrong
I'm gonna sing until you hate this song
I'm gonna tell you in my sweetest voice
I'm gonna choose you 'cause you have no choice
This funny thing we've got
Is never gonna stop
Oh no

I'm gonna take you to the wilderness
I'm gonna show you things you might have missed
I'm gonna kiss the parts that you have lost
It's gonna cost you but you might hurt less

This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
Until drip drop teardrop
Will we ever learn

I'm gonna work 'til we get it on
I'm gonna love you 'til we get along
And when your ears and your eyes are sore
I'm gonna love you just a little bit more

This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
This funny thing we got
Is never gonna stop
Until drip drop teardrop
Will we ever
Will we ever
Will we ever learn

Overload

Overload
Oh what a match we are!
As we romance along
Towards the firescape
Open fire
Forever in your arms
Splendid time we have
Doing what I dread
Oh my lord
Can I buy some time
I'm learning to dance
Dum-ditty-dance
I'm dancing, ok?

Overlord
Lord of the underworld
Full-of-wonder-girl
As we twist and twirl
Hot and dry
High in my cloven heels
This is how real love feels
As we prance and die
Oh my lord
Such a fancy fire
As we dance
You sure can dance
Dance dance

You I will never forget
I hope you'll remember me later
We're swimming in a puddle of sweat
I'm hot baby, don't burn your fingers
I'm tenderly served on your plate
The band must continue to play

So we dance
I love to dance
Baby dance with me
Yeah
I can dance
To love is to dance
Now dance me home

I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer

(Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over)

Well, here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Tryin' to play together somehow
I'm wasting my life, you're changing the world,
I get drunk and watch your head grow
It's the good times that we shared
And the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
And the bad times that we had

Well, it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog

So I need some fine wine
And you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
And the bad times that we'll have

Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
'Til I go and kill the bottle
I go off over any old thing
Break your heart and raise a glass or ten
To the good times that we shared
And the bad times that we'll have
To the good times
And the bad times that we've had

Well, it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine
And you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
And the bad times we know will come, yeah

I need some fine wine
And you, you need to be nicer
We need to be nicer
You and me
For the good times and the bad time that we had

Good times, bad times
Sweet wine, bad wine
Good cop, bad cop,
Lapdog, bad dog

Don't blame your daughter (diamonds)

Don't blame your daughter
That's just sentimental
And don't blame your mum
For all that you've done wrong
Your daddy's is not guilty
You came out a little faulty
And the factory closed
So you can't hold them liable
You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
With a rubber knife

Your autograph's is worthless
So don't send me letters
And don't mail me cash
'Cause your money is no good
What's left in your mattress
Is holes and lack of love left
Some hair from a horse
And none of it is yours, man
You come from an island
You're cutting diamonds
With a rubbery knife

And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them
But don't blame your daughter

Read me your tombstone
Tell me you're sorry
Fax me your will
You owe me something still
Blood is like water
The bath that you poured me
Has drained and is gone
Don't blame it on your son

And the song you sing today
Wasn't always in your head
The words you try to say
Are the ones you should've said
They're glistening like diamonds
Go out and find them, boy!

The world is full of diamonds
Go out and find them
But don't blame your daughter

Little Black Cloud

A black cloud's hanging over the town tonight
But I don't mind
I don't mind
There's a cold breeze cutting through the summer air
But I'm not scared
I don't care
'Cause we dance the night away
Let's dance the night away, yeah!

The black cloud's whispering into my ear
But I don't hear
I won't hear
'Cause the arms that hold me want an eye to eye
He's touching me
And I don't mind
As we dance the night away
Let's dance the night away

Oh yeah!
The music wants me tonight
What time will you let me down
I look pretty good tonight
Oh yeah!
Little black cloud
Little black cloud
I don't wanna go home

The black cloud's circling over me tonight
But I don't mind
And you don't mind
If you're cold I'll tell you it's the summer breeze
Just dance with me
We'll be alright

Oh yeah!
Te music wants me tonight
What time will you let me down
I look pretty great tonight
Oh yeah!
Little black cloud
Little black cloud
I'm not done yet

Hey, look at me!
The music wants me tonight
What time will you let me down
I look pretty great tonight
Oh yeah!
Little black cloud
Little black cloud
I don't wanna go home
I'm not done yet
I'm not done yet

In The Round

I am young and I'm alive
I want to talk about things
I am young and I own my life
I need to talk about it, baby
I am one but I asked for two
I didn't get anything
This puppet's lonely without you
It's tough to walk without strings
I do my dance in the round
I'm right on track but this state is frail
You slip out and redail
I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
Clap your hands

I wanna do it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time, yeah!
Clap your hands
I gotta get it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time
I do my dance in the round

I am young, coming at you live
People gonna talk about me
When I'm done, please hang me high
For everybody to see
'Cause I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
I wanna get it right
I'm dyin' to get it right
I wanna get it right
I'm dyin' to get it right

Holy Love

When you love
I can feel your love
Shooting holes in my stupid pride
When you love
I don't fear your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine

Holy love
You can really have anything you want from me
Anything you ask me to, I'll do
We can live in poverty or prosperity
Anything impossible, I'll try
You can really have everything you ask
And I'll be intimate with you
Giving everything over
To making everything right

Holy love
When you love
I can feel your love
Shooting holes in my stupid pride
When you love
I don't fear your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine
Holy love

You can really make anyone you want of me
Anyone you need tonight, I'll be
Whether you want empathy, animosity
An enemy or company, call me
I can even be nothing if you ask
I'll turn invisible for you
I'm the bird on your shoulder
Singing psalms through the night
Of holy love

When you love
I can feel your love
Throwing rocks through the windows of a monastery
Love
Makes me feel the super extra gravity
Of god, yeah!
And live
When you love
I can feel your love
Of all the angels you're the most divine

Good Morning Joan

Good morning Joan
Now pick up your phone
It was bad but just a dream
And you are remembered
Put on something pretty
Go back to the city
In the town the sky's just space
No starlight in your face
Listen to Eve
She's got stuff up her sleeve
To her there's no excuse
You've gotta use before you get used
Or talk to Louise
She knows all about freezing
She got lost in early May
And now it's December

I'd call on you if I could
If you were less like me I would

Good morning Joan
Did you wake up alone
Did you dream you woke up happy
With a phonebook full of names
Just forget about Mary
She says everything's scary
She got locked inside her skin
Get near her, she'll drag you in

I'd call on you if I could
If you were less like me I would
Save you from this if I could
If I were less like you, god knows I would
(Save you from this)
Spare us all this shit
But you're all just like me so I quit!

My name is yours
Can I sleep on your floor
See, my heroes changed their minds
And I lost my numbers

And Then You Kissed Me II

Slowdancing tight
My barren heart and I
Your name used to taste so sweet
Then you beat the love right out of me
It's a mystery how people behave!
How we long for a life as a slave
When he kissed me I gladly gave in
To a fight nobody could win

Man, he left me blue
And if I could, I would do it too
I tell you now like I told you before
Love is a powerful force
And it's a mystery how people behave!
How we long for a life as a slave
And tumble into any open arms
That will only ever do you harm

Oh, you you, it's always you
The best kisser that I ever knew
True love is cruel love
Not much to be proud of
Nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend
All for a happy end

It's a mystery how people behave!
How we worry ourselves to the grave
When he kissed me I lost everything
Then I got up and did it again

Oh you you, it's always you
The hardest hitter that I ever knew
True love is cruel love
Not much to be proud of
Ass-kissing mercy-missing faithless friend
All for a happy end

Oh girl, look at yourself, what have you done
What have you become
Well, I couldn't say
Slow down and think of your heart, where do you go
Now, how am I supposed to know, I'm always looking away

Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes
I can't tell night from day
Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes and watch me walk away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I took a look at myself
Nothing inside
Except for cigarettes and wine where there should be a life
You've been watching me for a while and you like what you see
It's in the eyes of the beholder
Now give them to me

Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes that seem to light my face
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh mirror, mirror upon the wall
Who is the fairest of them all
Mirror, mirror made no reply
Mirror went black and cracked from side to side
Yeah, yeah, yeah

Slow

( Bonus track )

Slow, slow, slow
There is something you need to know
There's a feeling I don't understand
Here it comes again
Glow, glow, glow
There was love ten seconds ago
In it's place, now a tiny pain
It comes again

There'll be rain on our wedding day
And the chapel will be mud and clay
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
I don't know why
Slow, slow, slow
Easy come and easy go
It seems your ring is sliding off my hand
Do you understand?
No, no, no
In every breathe you're dragging me low
In every movement the chill sustains
Here it comes again

There'll be rain on our wedding day
Rotting roses in my bouquet
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
Too late to cry
Slow, slow, slow...

Slowdown town

( Bonus track )

Should come snow
But we got rain and it's leaking in
I think of Paris
How that ugly tower stands 3 years of wind

Now don't it seem like we're living in a slowdown town
I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
And on and on it goes
On and on it goes
Billions of people be happy living like the way we do
With the world in our hands
Believing that we're small and true

But sometimes I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
Yes I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
And on and on it goes
I'll be here
And the wind and the rain will be
Tearing down the building over me
I'll be here
In my tower of mistrust
I built this myself with nails that don't rust
Don't you feel like we're living in a slowdown town
Oh honey, I feel like we're living in a slowdown town
So people, come on, let's just blow it and get out of this damn town
Or on and on it goes
Or on and on it goes

Bängen Trålar

(Nationalteatern cover / The Soundtrack Of Our Lives feat. Nina Persson / Nationalsånger LP)

Om du letar efter röka när du är i Göteborg
Upp vid Näckrosdammen, Vasaparken eller Femmans torg
Kom ihåg, skvallerbytta bingbång, sitter som på nålar
Ett tu tre är bängen där och trålar
Och torskar du finns ingen förmildrande omständighet

En september eftermiddag lägger man sej i Allén
Och man tänder liten braja, gottar sej i solens sken
Men du vet, skvallerbytta bingbång, slickar alla skålar
Ett tu tre är bängen där och trålar
Och torskar du finns ingen förmildrande omständighet

Om du går på en nit och sen åker du dit
En semester på vatten och bröd
Där är tillvaron hård, där finns samhällets vård
Och dom vårdar dej intill din död
För sånt är systemet
Kolla in dom du gillar, dom tjejer och killar
Som sitter i samma båt
Och gå hem och tänk över, fall någon behöver
Polis för att göra nåt åt
Själva pundarproblemet

För den som själv har nåt att dölja ropar på förstärkt polis
Propagandaapparaten skyddar dom på alla vis
Miljonärerna och skattefifflarna går fria
Dom handlar aldrig bara för en tia
Och klasstillhörigheten är en förmildrande omständighet

För den som själv har nåt att dölja ropar på förstärkt polis
Propagandaapparaten skyddar dom på alla vis
Miljonärerna och skattefifflarna går fria
Dom handlar aldrig bara för en tia
Och klasstillhörigheten är en förmildrande omständighet

Black Winged Bird

(The Cake Sale / Sung by Nina Persson / The Cake Sale LP)

Night can't come quick enough
My faults shine in the sun
A train bridge of spies
Watches all the cars collide

I roll my green sleeves over ruby
I don't blame you for doing it to me
Real girls don't take aim
Like kings do these days

I made my mind up to be a black winged bird
Never turn my head for how things were
Leave the bluest skies for boys to burn

And I'll soar on my way
Sad as the state of things we can't change

Now we're paper dolls all aflame
In houses that all look the same
Rows of regret
An arson for a wilderness

I hide my saints in the willow trunk
You started me on this junk
Now my black lungs are blue
But I'm still singing to you
I'm still singing to you

I made my mind up to be a black winged bird
Never turn my head for how things were
Leave the bluest skies for boys to burn

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

Burning down the house

( With Tom Jones )

Fightin' fire with fire

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Hold tight
Wait till the party's over
Hold tight
We're in for nasty weather
There has got to be a way
Burning down the house

Here's your ticket pack your bag
Time for jumpin' overboard
The transportation is here
Close enough but not too far
Maybe you know where you are
Fightin' fire with fire

All wet hey you might need a raincoat
Shakedown dreams walking in broad daylight
Three hundred six-ty five degrees
Burning down the house

It was once upon a place sometimes I listen to myself
Gonna come in first place
People on their way to work baby what did you except
Gonna burst into flame

Fightin' fire with fire
Fightin' fire with fire
Burning down the house

My house's
Out of the ordinary
That's right
Don't wanna to hurt nobody
Some things sure can sweep me off my feet
Burning down the house

Watch out you might get what you're after
Cool babies strange but not a stranger
I'm an ordinary guy
Burning down the house

Three hundred six-ty five degrees
Burning down the house

Fightin' fire with fire
Fightin' fire with fire
Gonna burst it with
Fightin' fire with fire
Fightin' fire with fire
Gonna burst it with
My house

No visible means of support and you have not seen nothin' yet
Everything's stuck together
I don't know what you expect starring into the TV set
Fighting fire with fire 

Burning down the house
Burning down the house

Changes

(BBC Radio 2 Session / Ozzy Osbourne cover / Live And Learn EP)

I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I've lost the best friend
That I ever had

He was my man
I loved him so
But it's too late now
I've let him go

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way

But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
And love went astray

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

It took so long
To realize
And I can still hear
His last goodbyes
And now all my days
Are filled with tears
I wish I could go back
And change these years

I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes

Closing time

It's closing time, and a wellknown fact
Is that life is very short
It's closing time says the band
And it seems that life is very short
The baker in town was fat as a cow
At the end of the day he ate all remains
The baker in town was murdered one day
An order was left of 200 pies
We've all got some vice
After closing time
So this is it!
The carnival is now heading for a new town
We hope you enjoyed the show
The party at Gordon's developed into a chaos
But the report says no one was hurt
And we've also heard that Charley actually did solve the case
The gruesome killing of the bakerman
Finally, the clown left the circus to become a plumber
He says: "Suits me just fine, and life is very fine
And this is closing time"
It's closing time, and a well known fact
Is that life is very short
It's closing time says the band,
And it seems that life is very short
La lalala lala lalala
La lala la la la
La lalala lala lalalala
La lala la la la
Life - greatest of all
Life - strongest of all
But at the same time, most delicate time could well end in a moment

Deceased

( Soundtrack of "randall and hopkirk" )

I'm not here to harm you
So let me disarm you, you'll see what i mean
I'm yours for you already know me
Stay with me and show me the way to my dreams

Together we can live a life we know is real
We move silently through my room and make me feel
That love can be a place we never have to leave
Be strong, stay with me, never disappear

Deep in my heart i see clearly
We should be revealing our secrets today
Please, don't just stay there, i'm waiting
For the plans you've been making to take me away

Together we can live a life we know is real
We move silently through my room and make me feel
That love can be a place we never have to leave
Be strong, stay with me, never disappear

Together we can live a life we know is real
We move silently through my room and make me feel
That love can be a place we never have to leave
Be strong, stay with me, never disappear
