Ever since she was a young girl, Hafdís Huld has enjoyed performing for anyone who was willing to watch. She started out putting on small circuses in her neighbor's garage and then quickly moved on to performing with one of Iceland's biggest performance collectives, Gus Gus. She remained with the group for four years, releasing two albums, appearing in numerous videos, and performing for audiences all over the world. In her time off from touring, she also starred in two movies and several Icelandic commercials. Hafdís left Gus Gus in 1999 and moved to London, where she studied at the London Centre of Contemporary Music and started collaborating with writers in the city, including Jim Abiss, Pascal Gabriel, and Boo Hewerdine. She also co-wrote and sung on two songs on Machine Says Yes by electronic duo FC Kahuna. The songs, Hayling and Machine Says Yes, were a great success for the group, and Hafdis joined them on a promotional tour for the album. Despite the success of her projects with other groups, Hafdís Huld was ready to shine on her own, and in October of 2006, she released her first solo album Dirty Paper Cup, the product of her collaborations with the writers she had been working with since she moved to London several years ago. Dirty Paper Cup received much praise in the UK and Europe, and it was played by some of the UK's biggest radio stations, including BBC Radio 1. The album also won “Best Pop Album” at the 2007 Icelandic Music Awards. Hafdís toured extensively in support of Dirty Paper Cup, opening for some of the biggest acts in the UK, like Paolo Nutini and Mika. She also spent a good part of a year performing at some of the biggest music festivals in Europe, including Glastonbury and Hultsfred and at South By Southwest in America. In 2008 while on a break from performing, Hafdís sung for and appeared in a Mercedes-Benz commercial, which appeared on TVs all across Europe. She also made a guest appearance on the Tricky song Cross To Bear. During 2009, Hafdís Huld wrote, recorded, and released Synchronised Swimmers, an album that has already gone to number two on the Icelandic music charts and garnered two number one singles, Kónguló and the title track. It was released worldwide throughout 2010 and is making its mark throughout Europe, the UK, and America.

Ski Jumper He told her he would give everything If she just could bring him A ski jumper And after the next few weeks He likes the jumper heaps And he wants to be A ski jumper He's standing there tall Wearing his jumper and all When his heart gets small Down down don't wanna go down Don't you push me down I wanna hang around a little longer His feet are cold He says they should have told him What it's like for A ski jumper He's starting to slide And there's nowhere to hide When you're A ski jumper He's standing there tall Wearing his jumper and all When his heart gets small Down down don't wanna go down Don't you push me down I wanna hang around a little longer Down down don't wanna go down Don't you push me down I wanna hang around a little longer He's in the air so there's not much to do But enjoy the view For the ski jumper And when he's back down He says that any clown can be A ski jumper He's standing there tall Wearing his jumper and all When his heart gets small Down down don't wanna go down Don't you push me down I wanna hang around a little longer Down down don't wanna go down Don't you push me down I wanna hang around a little longer A little longer Ski Jumper Ski Jumper Diamonds on my belly A guy full of holes opens the door Sees on my face I've never been before Only noises no soothing sounds Decorated people tell me It looks great on you It's just not my thing The receptionist has a nipple ring In this place I'm like a boring saint Use all my strength Not to faint again A little later I'll let you see Diamonds on my belly Like the rapper girls on TV Diamonds on my belly A little later I'll let you see Diamonds on my belly The only thing between you and me Diamonds on my belly Diamonds on my belly The scariest guy I've ever seen Tries to smile but he still looks mean Tell myself it just can't be him When I look up he invites me in Ask him to give me something sweet He brings back more than I need Then suddenly everything goes black I wake up, see the glittery track A little later I'll let you see Diamonds on my belly Like the rapper girls on TV Diamonds on my belly A little later I'll let you see Diamonds on my belly The only thing between you and me Diamonds on my belly Diamonds on my belly... My heads beats How do I look What do I do Why does God make me Run into you Should I talk Should I pout My heart beats Way too loud And my heart beats Way too loud Try not to notice you look my way All of my feelings are on display Should I talk Should I pout My heart beats Way too loud And my heart beats Way too loud You're an ongoing challenge In the story of me Still don't know How the ending should be I wish that I knew now What I knew then Danced my way to trouble once again My heart beats Way too fast And my heart beats Way too fast My heart beats Way too fast And my heart beats Way too fast

Action Man I think he lives across the hall And I don't know him at all But I have a plan In it he's the action man He shifts across the street I can't see his feet He can save me anytime From this little life of mine I'm wishing I'm wishing I' wishing Away by my window every day While he's on a mission For a damsel in distress I'm almost Happy and I guess I can live without the action man He will rocket and skydive In order to survive Catch him if you can He's the action man Never needs a second chance Brave with big strong hands Makes everything OK Always knows just what to say What to say I'm wishing I'm wishing I' wishing Away by my window every day While he's on a mission For a damsel in distress I'm almost Happy and I guess I can live without the action man We'll have a moment in slow motion And I re-play in my head all the clever Things I could have said Wishing I'm wishing I' wishing away By my window every day While he's on a mission For a damsel in distress I'm almost Happy and I guess I can live without Wishing I'm wishing I' wishing away By my window every day While he's on a mission For a damsel in distress I'm almost Happy and I guess I can live without my action man Live without my action man Live without my action man Action man
Oldest Friend Over noodles from yesterday I'm attempting some kind of a talk Not that it matters anyway It's a lonely road you walk Life size cut-out in the living room Of a woman that should be cold I think it's safe for me to assume That you need to be told Not sure what I'm doing here But you're my oldest friend Things were so much easier at school This grown up world is tricky I'm holding out my hand It's unwritten but it's the rule The green clock on the table Tells me you should be dressed by now You might feel slightly unable But you'll get back up somehow Were it the other way around I know you'd sit in the dark with me Until the courage could be found To get on with plan B Not sure what I'm doing here But you're my oldest friend Things were so much easier at school This grown up world is tricky I'm holding out my hand It's unwritten but it's the rule There's a storm in the cup of coffee I'm about to drink In it you are treading water Trying not to sink Not sure what I'm doing here But you're my oldest friend Things were so much easier at school This grown up world is tricky I'm holding out my hand It's unwritten but it's the rule It's unwritten but it's the rule Kónguló
He'd rather swing from a cable Than sit by the table and eat cake He's half way up before you're even awake He's got style and still they dial the police Just wait he'll come down in one piece He's said before there's a risk I know Feeling almost dead is a part of the show They call him Kónguló You never see him in an elevator It moves to slow see you later He'll see you later Let's hope the winds don't blow Watch out here comes the Kónguló Afraid of heights when it comes to flight of stairs But when he starts to moan nobody cares No safety line he takes his time up there Stops for coffee and the rest of us just stare He's said before there's a risk I know Feeling almost dead is a part of the show They call him Kónguló You never see him in an elevator It moves to slow see you later He'll see you later Please don't make it snow Watch out here comes the Kónguló It made us all even keener When you hitched a ride With a window cleaner Human Kónguló are rare Now he's on TV talking about his hair They call him Kónguló You never see him in an elevator It moves to slow see you later He'll see you later Let's hope the winds don't blow Watch out here comes the Kónguló Watch out here comes the Kónguló Watch out here comes the Kónguló
One of those things When you're angry And you're walking away Waiting for them to stop you But they don't Then it's ok To wait for a while Before you go back there again With a smile It's just one of those things I wish someone had told me If you're hurting Needing a tear That is the time when they just don't Seem to fall It gets better You give up the wait And they come streaming down your face When it's too late It's just one of those things I wish someone had told me If I had the answers to all my questions There wouldn't be anywhere to go from here If I had the answers to all my questions There wouldn't be anywhere There wouldn't be anywhere To go from here When you're happy And you just don't know why Don't waste precious time Don't even try If you're dancing And nobody's there Enjoy the fact that you don't Even care It's just one of those things I wish someone had told me If I had the answers to all my questions There wouldn't be anywhere There wouldn't be anywhere There wouldn't be anywhere To go from here It's just one of those things I wish someone had told me
Boys and Perfume Nothing makes sense in the mornings anyway So feelings are back in demand from today Close my eyes and hope for a better one 'Cause life goes on Boys and perfume from a pound store Cheap Mona Lisa print on the wall And I feel like the girl who's got it all I feel like the girl who's got it all, got it all Misery feels so out of place Moment's happiness staring you in the face Can't find love, then lust will do I'm playing with you, I'm playing Boys and perfume from a pound store Cheap Mona Lisa print on the wall And I feel like the girl who's got it all I feel like the girl who's got it all Nothing like my boy needs to be It all happened so soon They can't tell me what works for me Let's have Christmas in June Christmas in June Boys and perfume from a pound store Cheap Mona Lisa print on the wall And I feel like the girl who's got it all I feel like the girl who's got it all I feel like, I feel like I've got it all
Synchronised swimmers Like synchronised swimmers In an ocean of sounds We're only beginners Still looking around It's a little bit deafening How my inner voice is shouting out What a lovely mess Through the days we walk There's liberating loneliness In how you never talk It's a little bit deafening How my inner voice is shouting out They'll come around Just leave you be Feet firmly on the ground When you're standing next to me Feet firmly on the ground When you're standing next to me Maybe we're different Different from who They so wanna tell us When they think we should do It's a little bit deafening How my inner voice is shouting out They'll come around Just leave you be Feet firmly on the ground When you're standing next to me Feet firmly on the ground When you're standing next to me Shouting out It's a little bit deafening When my inner voice is shouting out It's a little bit deafening It's a little bit deafening It's a little bit deafening When my inner voice is shouting out Shouting out We're synchronised swimmers Shouting out
Daisy I don't want to smile You can't make me I've been dumped for a girl called Daisy And it hurts I picture her eating apples All glowing happy and healthy Girl next door My blue bikini's faded And I don't even care I think she's over rated With really stupid hair I think the sun is wasted on me I think the sun is wasted on me I've taken a vow of misery That's why the sun is wasted on me I wear my purple dress And walk like I mean business and I do She sounds like a greeting card phrase Little Miss Daisy at the door Not the best beginning for my fantasy catfight I've painted on a smile But I'll be back tomorrow night I think the sun is wasted on me I think the sun is wasted on me I've taken a vow of misery That's why the sun is wasted on me I think the sun is shining on me I think the sun is shining on me I've broken the vow of misery That's why the sun is shining on me Shining on me, shining
Time of my life Orange car people sit in trees Hard to digest all the memories Fell off a bike the blood still fresh Focus on saving my party dress I'm in bed it's after dark Still hear them playing in the park Run around and laugh out loud That is it I'm sneaking out Waiting for things to run around Summer should have a different sound Sad situations too much of a wait The time of my life is starting late With mum in the early morning rush People watching the on the bus Day after day always the same And they don't even know my name Waiting for the things to run around Summer should have a different sound Sad situations too much of a wait The time of my life is starting late Dreams of impossible happiness Sugar coated truth I need to wake up And shake off my youth The time of my life is starting late The time of my life is starting late The time of my life is starting late The time of my life is starting late
Homemade lemonade A girl in a nylon apron serves me cinnamon toast On a plate with a picture of a cat The man on the next table pretends to read the paper We all know he's asleep under his hat Look out on the street and I See a lady feeding birds too fat to fly Everything is basic in a town like this You get your picture in the paper if you catch a fish Dwelling on if onlys on a rainy day Just like Dolly I will get away Goodbye to homemade lemonade The girl with the apron talks way too loud on the phone About a boy she wants to snog They still have that sign up But someone has decided that Patch doesn't count as a dog Look out on the street and I See a lady feeding birds too fat to fly Everything is basic in a town like this You get your picture in the paper if you catch a fish Dwelling on if onlys on a rainy day Just like Dolly I will get away Goodbye to homemade lemonade Everything is basic in a town like this You get your picture in the paper if you catch a fish Dwelling on if onlys on a rainy day Just like Dolly I will get away Goodbye to homemade lemonade
I Almost Know A Criminal Flying high as a kite With proper starts there in the night Just when she's starting to shine Gets tangled on a power line From looking at her face She's the nicest person in this place They clearly don't know She's putting on a little snow And she tries so hard to prove She's got nothing to prove Every little fall is a signature move She's made a deal with the devil You can't take those back She will always be The prettiest insomniac around here I almost know a criminal Pushes them out of her head Thoughts when she's alone in bed She'll get away with it Looks nothing like her photo fit And she tries so hard to prove She's got nothing to prove Every little fall is a signature move She's made a deal with the devil You can't take those back She will always be The prettiest insomniac around here Fear eats my sanity I say I like her dress This time she doesn't shout at me We must be making progress Tries so hard to prove She's got nothing to prove Every little fall is a signature move She's made a deal with the devil You can't take those back She will always be The prettiest insomniac around here I almost know a criminal I almost know a criminal I almost know a criminal
Robot Robot I'm gonna build a robot and I'll name it after you I've got everything I need Using nuts and bolts and just a little bit of glue And some tin foil on his feet We'll go for walks And feed the ducks with bread He scares them off With the lasers on his head Remote control Needs no compromise The look of love In this bright red eyes I'm gonna build a robot and I'll name it after you I've got everything I need Using nuts and bolts and just a little bit of glue And some tin foil on his feet He doesn't breathe And never needs to sleep His hardware heart Never skips a beat I'm gonna build a robot and I'll name it after you I've got everything I need Using nuts and bolts and just a little bit of glue And some tin foil on his feet
Vampires We live in a house with a blue door When we're going out, they're coming home And if sometimes all day, the curtains are drawn It's just that we'd rather be left alone They think we're vampires That could be cool But we're not vampires We're just me and you Here in the dark Me and you And our little spark They think we're vampires Inside there's love and there's laughter Our adventures they'll never know It's easy to think of darkness When the light is just not unsure They think we're vampires Don't mean to be cruel But we're not vampires We're just me and you Here in the dark Me and you And our little spark Maybe they just don't know How it feels to hide away We've made a world just for two There is no night, there is no day They think we're vampires And that could be cool But we're not vampires We're just me and you Here in the dark Me and you And our little spark They think we're vampires Don't mean to be cruel But we're not vampires We're just me and you We're just me and you We're just me and you
Winter sun Somehow it hurts to be happy In your head I see your seasonal sadness setting in So much unsaid Somehow it hurts to be happy In your head Learn to let it go I tell you things will better Just wait and see You shake your head in disbelief And whisper not for me Learn to let it go Learn to let it go As the days become longer Glimpse of winter sun I see you smile Spring has begun Learn to let it go Learn to let it go Learn to let it go Let it go Let it go Let it go

Frost Er Úti Fuglinn Minn Frost er úti fuglinn minn ég finn hvað þér er kalt Nærðu engu í nefið þitt Því nú er frosið allt En ef þú bíður augnablik ég ætla að flýta mér Oð biðja hana mömmu mína Um mylsnu handa þér

Home Sunrise You warm me up when the world gets cold With words that don't get old When nothing's being said They echo in my head Moments hidden in routine Nicer than they seem When you look at me With eyes blue as the sea I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Sunrise it always feels like sunrise Sunrise when you're around Sunrise it always feels like sunrise Sunrise when you're around In my own way I always knew I belonged with you Ready for the memories Of what was yet to be Sunrise it always feels like sunrise Sunrise when you're around Sunrise it always feels like sunrise Sunrise when you're around Your silhouette against the sun Burnt into my memory I knew you'd always be the one Walking next to me Sunrise it always feels like sunrise Sunrise when you're around Sunrise it always feels like sunrise Sunrise when you're around Queen Bee Our flag is his coat As he marches Down the middle of the road We slowly walk behind him As we try to understand this game Towards the sun This fight has only just begun There ain't many things He wouldn't do for this place I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Somewhere in between the trees Where the grass is green Lives a man with his queen Somewhere in between the trees In a world that no one sees He's growing his own army of bees Moving too fast For the magic to last On his watch the world Moves a different pace We all have space His anchor went down Kept his boots on the ground Unaffected by the race taking place All around Somewhere in between the trees Where the grass is green Lives a man with his queen Somewhere in between the trees In a world that no one sees He's growing his own army of bees He came from far away Outside everyday And his rooster thinks it's morning all the time Tobacco in the air Whenever he is near And I'm not sure if the dog is his or mine Somewhere in between the trees Where the grass is green Lives a man with his queen Somewhere in between the trees In a world that no one sees He's growing his own army of bees Lucky In a house by the bend in the road Lives such a lucky boy He loves to let it show No matter heads or tales Seems like the wind Is always in his sails He's got a four-leaved clover Tattooed on his arm I guess someone like him Doesn't really need a lucky charm They say it can't be true It never happens here Like it does with you Hey maybe you could share Some of this with me ooh And I could be lucky I could be lucky Jimmy just like you I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Many think they know He´s made the devils deal And none of this is real When he rolls the dice You can see by his grin He knows he's gonna win He's got a four-leaved clover Tattooed on his arm I guess someone like him Doesn't really need a lucky charm They say it can't be true It never happens here Like it does with you Hey maybe you could share Some of this with me oh And I could be lucky I could be lucky Jimmy just like you Oh, I guess you were born under a lucky star Oh, that can only ever Only ever take you so far Hey maybe you could share Some of this with me oh And I could be lucky I could be lucky Jimmy just like you Home They talk and smile but I can't hear I nod along just in case In my head I'm nowhere near I'm in a better place I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I feel small I hide a tear Followed by this cloud I know I need to stay here Sad and lonely in this crowd I paint your letter on my wall Right there and then remember it all I'm far away and all alone I wanna go home, I wanna go home Normal seems so nice When no one knows you I miss the calmness in your eyes Here everything's too new I paint your letter on my wall Right there and then remember it all I'm far away and all alone I wanna go home, I wanna go home Mountains and lakes on the way Are hours and minutes to me The sky is a paler grey As I move closer to where I wanna be Closer to where I wanna be I paint your letter on my wall Right there and then remember it all I'm far away and all alone I wanna go home I paint your letter on my wall Right there and then remember it all I'm far away and all alone I wanna go home I wanna go home
Wolf He ran up the path with blood on his hands And a fear I'd never seen He stops for a breath and a backwards glance What could this have been Wolves, wolves don't howl at my door I don't want you here anymore Wolves, wolves don't howl at my door I saw their master and he did not care Send me on my way They're running wild out here Still we choose to stay Wolves, wolves don't howl at my door I don't want you here anymore Wolves, wolves don't howl at my door I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake We don't go back to that neck of the woods Try to stay off that track Bow my head and pull up the hood Whenever I must go back Wolves, wolves don't howl at my door I don't want you here anymore Wolves, wolves don't howl at my door Treasures If I only had tomorrow Today I'd look for you If I only had tomorrow Yes that's what I would do And I'd hold you closer than I ever have before Like I told you I have never wished for more I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake If I only had tomorrow I'd make you understand If I only had tomorrow I would hold on to your hand I would show you all the things you wanted to see And I know you'd save some little treasures just for me When they turn out the lights for the day Our blanket of memories will keep me safe And if I ever have lost my way Our blanket of memories will keep me safe If I only had a moment I wouldn't see the clouds If I only had a moment I would speak of love out loud And I'd tell you all the things I should have said before Then I'd tell you once again just to be sure When they turn out the lights for the day Our blanket of memories will keep me safe And if I ever have lost my way Our blanket of memories will keep me safe I will miss you more than words ever can explain The way you kissed me used to work to take away the pain With my eyes closed sometimes I can almost feel you here When the wind blows I hear your softest whisper in my ear Empty Eyes Scared and I'm cold Drenched in the lies You told With your empty eyes You've got empty eyes, empty eyes I'm happy I'm angry I laugh then I shout I'm learning how to cope Melted the hurt from the inside and out Left standing in a puddle of hope Don't come up here for me I took what's left of us and I threw it to the sea I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Tired and I'm sad thinking back to days we had Before you lost your way I'm happy I'm angry I laugh then I shout I'm learning how to cope Melted the hurt from the inside and out Left standing in a puddle of hope Don't come up here for me I took what's left of us and I threw it to the sea You've got empty eyes, empty eyes Little Light Hush falls over the night You won't find me sleeping There's a little light In my heart for safekeeping Cold feet on the floor All feels so exciting Creaking of the door Right where I was hiding I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I did what I did and I saw what I saw Remember the feel and the scent and so much more So much more Laughter fills the hall Ticking clock beside me Right behind that door Is the place where I should be I did what I did and I saw what I saw Remember the feel and the scent and so much more So much more I did what I did and I saw what I saw Remember the feel and the scent and so much more So much more Remember it all Pop Song People often ask me Why I don't write a song About the nights without you Being cold and long How I loose track of time Just looking in your eyes Gazing at the stars Telling pretty lies I can put it in a pop song if you like But what I feel about you doesn't rhyme I'd spell it out with roses at your feet Is that really something that we need Should I call you baby When you're feeling down Waiting by the phone When you're not around I can tell the whole world what I know Make everybody see But it wouldn't change a thing For you and me I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I can put it in a pop song if you like But what I feel about you doesn't rhyme I'd spell it out with roses at your feet Is that really something that we need Never Needed You The air feels heavy I can't breath in here A long long time ago liked having you near me But now I'm big and sometimes even strong I'm strong enough to see that you were wrong I never needed you, needed you with me The echo of your voice still in my head I try my best forgetting what you said I've heard so many truer things since then From braver and better men I never needed you, needed you with me It's time to shake the shadows of you from over my head These shoulders aren't strong enough for two It's time to shake the shadows of you from over my head So many things I wish I could undo I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake You had this power everyone could see They didn't know you stole it all from me I've seen you try to get by on your own Haunted by the chances you have blown ‘Cause you needed me needed me with you It's time to shake the shadows of you from over my head These shoulders aren't strong enough for two It's time to shake the shadows of you from over my head So many things I wish I could undo I Miss The Rain I miss the rain I miss the rain So I stay indoors all day I miss the rain, I miss the rain The skies are blue there's no reason To complain But all the same I miss the rain We've had seven days of summer I've been counting It's the kind of weather nobody Could hate Everywhere around me people smiling I'm the only one who's looking for The shade I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I should be happy I should be happy I should be happy I should be happy But I miss the rain I miss the rain So I stay indoors all day I miss the rain, I miss the rain The skies are blue there's no reason To complain But all the same I miss the rain Where did you go There are no cloud's above me I squint my eyes the world just seems Too bright I should be happy I should be happy I should be happy I should be happy But I miss the rain I miss the rain So I stay indoors all day I miss the rain, I miss the rain The skies are blue there's no reason To complain But all the same Wash my sins away
Dare to Dream Small Summer Inside As the days get short and the red leaves fall We find something warmer to wear The clouds are grey and it smells like rain There's autumn chill in the air When the ground is wet and my feet are cold And my hair hasn't dried, then I remember Summer inside There's summer inside The storm is heavy the windows might break But my heart remains intact It might take a while to get out of here But our love is a fact When the frozen river hugs our house And the wind sings in the night, then I remember Summer inside Summer inside When the rays flow over the mountain It's springtime's first hello This is our message There's only a short while to go Only a short while to go The world seems brighter and better now With you I enjoy my days Everything's somehow easier With sunlight on your face When the soul is dressed in summer clothes And it needs nowhere to hide Then I know it's summer Then I know it's summer Then I know it's also summer outside It's summer outside Then I know it's also summer outside It's summer outside Take Me Dancing You and I In the picture on the side We are young it's you I recognise Walk with me through the shadows ‘til I see A better view reflected in your eyes Rain may come Put your good shoes on We are the only ones Reel me in I love the way you feel against my skin Take me dancing The days were long The world was over-lit And no one ever wondered is this it? Through the years with you I faced my fears We are two pieces that just fit Rain may come Put your good shoes on We are the only ones Reel me in I love the way you feel against my skin Take me dancing We're collecting our stories to tell Some are sad, some end well You can't always see The wave or unexpected turn Together we will learn Rain may come Put your good shoes on We are the only ones Reel me in I love the way you feel against my skin Rain may come Put your good shoes on We are the only ones Reel me in I love the way you feel against my skin Take me dancing My Heart Sings It felt like I'd lost the key To my own happiness Then you came to me Like a melody Not dressed to impress You saw all the little things Broke through my shell Oh the joy it brings And now my heart sings Pretty well You've changed my tune And it's not a day too soon Maybe we could grow old Go where we want I'd have you to hold Never get cold At the end of the day If I go off track You'll show me the way Bring me back You've changed my tune And it's not a day too soon The truth that you share with me It sounds like a song Like a symphony I have found my key I belong You've changed my tune Maybe we could grow old Go where we want I'd have you to hold Never get cold At the end of the day If I go off track You'll show me the way Bring me back You've changed my tune And it's not a day too soon Last Rays of the Sun I don't need a reason Why should I explain There's no way of pleasing We're not all the same I've learned not to listen When nothing's to be gained I knew who I was all along Round and round they go Are they ever done Stay until the last rays of the sun And we're a world away From anyone That's where we've got to stay Living our own way Answer to no one Liking what we've done ‘Til the last rays of the sun Put one and one together When I found you Since us the weather The weather has been good Started something new A world just made for two Where it only rains when it should Round and round they go Are they ever done Stay until the last rays of the sun And we're a world away From anyone That's where we've got to stay Living our own way Answer to no one Liking what we've done ‘Til the last rays of the sun Leaving Me Behind Many had told me and tried to explain It would feel like the sunshine and summer rain But nothing prepared me for you I've always been careful afraid of heights Never a fan of the darkest nights But I'll jump from star to star with you With you I keep making the same old mistake Maybe I don't want to learn I've made promises plans I was on the right track But you were a different turn Don't thank me for being kind If you're leaving me behind I never thought I was very strong But then I look back at the times I have tried to hold on Hold on to you My roots lie deep, you're still up in the stars This kind of love will always leave a scar It's true, scar in the shape of you With you I keep making the same old mistake Maybe I don't want to learn I've made promises plans I was on the right track But you were a different turn Don't thank me for being kind If you're leaving me behind Don't you feel just a little light headed Running around the truth After all this time, after all my tears You can no longer hide behind your youth Don't thank me for being kind If you're leaving me behind With you I keep making the same old mistake Maybe I don't want to learn I've made promises plans I was on the right track But you were a different turn Don't thank me for being kind If you're leaving me behind Violet Violet hair A made-up smile To see the truth Will take a while Sadness shows On the young face She takes her first steps Into to a new place Scars will heal Quicker than the heart She's searching for That missing part I guess her beauty built a wall She happily hides behind And someday she will show them all She truly is one of a kind Turn it on turn it on Let your light fill the room This is where you belong You'll see it soon Standing tall Her tears have dried She's coming out On the other side A different life about to start Her smile is coming From the heart Scars will heal Quicker than the heart She's searching for That missing part I guess her beauty built a wall She happily hides behind And someday she will show them all She truly is one of a kind Turn it on turn it on Let your light fill the room This is where you belong You'll see it soon Underdog He wants to be the underdog So people look at him and say Life must be an uphill walk How do you get through the day? They want to take him in their arms Want to know that he's okay Give him tea and sympathy Make his troubles go away Feeds off them feeling sorry Forgets the silver spoon And the fortune locked away That could buy the moon And it's always a reach away And it's always a rainy day His broken heart is always aching The tiny glass is never full There's a way you should behave He should know, he made the rules Feeds off them feeling sorry Forgets the silver spoon And the fortune locked away That could buy the moon And it's always a reach away And it's always a rainy day Always too far away For the underdog Is it Better They say it's better to love And lose than to never love at all As she cries in my arms I wonder How on earth to break the fall Is it better not to know Is it better not to know I heard the whispers and always thought It's really not my place I couldn't have imagined All this sadness on her face Is it better not to know Is it better not to know Sadness makes you live and relive How it all went wrong Drown your darkest fears with tears We can't always be strong Is it better not to know Is it better not to know By the Road You sit by the side of the road In seaside sandals and a winter coat Surrounded by trees overgrown With your plastic chair, on your own You're not looking happy or sad You don't look lonely, you don't look mad Is there someone who sleeps by your side at night Is there some place that you call your own Is there someone who wants you to hold them tight Do they know where you go When you sit by the side of the road I don't see a car or a bike I wonder how you did arrive So far away from it all I hope you have a friend to call Watching the world from your cloud You don't look up or down and out Is there someone who sleeps by your side at night Is there some place that you call your own Is there someone who wants you to hold them tight Do they know where you go When you sit by the side of the road So serene What do you know? Talk to me What do you know that we don't What do you know that we don't Is there someone who sleeps by your side at night Is there some place that you call your own Is there someone who wants you to hold them tight Do they know where you go When you sit by the side of the road Fineshade Forest Wrapped in a jumper Few sizes too big Still smells a little bit like you That's why I wear it Not because it's green If I was a colour I'd be blue Without direction I start to walk They say it's easy to find I'm sure that's true Not looking for squirrels or birds I'm going there looking for you We never went to Fineshade Forest You always said we should How can something so pretty make me sad We never went to Fineshade Forest I always thought we would And now I miss the love we never had Comfort in a blanket Of rusty leaves As I sit down on the forest floor It's the moment I've been waiting for Think I'm ready to close this door We never went to Fineshade Forest You always said we should How can something so pretty make me sad We never went to Fineshade Forest I always thought we would And now I miss the love we never had I whisper the words I came to say and I feel less alone So I follow the signs to the walkway Its time to go home We never went to Fineshade Forest You always said we should How can something so pretty make me sad We never went to Fineshade Forest I always thought we would And now I miss the love we never We never had Dream Small Why reach for the stars When their light will find you You could conquer the world But then what would you do So dream small, dream small And you might find what you're looking for It's true, there's more If you dare to dream small You could look for perfection But you'd wait for the flaw You could have everything But you'd only want more So dream small, dream small And you might find what you're looking for It's true, there's more When you dare to dream small Food on the table Roof over our head Just dream small, dream small And you might find what you're looking for It's true, there's more When you dare to dream small Dream small Dream small By Now I want this to be goodbye Don't want you to try anymore It should have come easily Merged into you and me by now Without all the work Some pieces just don't fit Let me leave Baby this is it I'm happy to be the one who got away I'll come back for the rest Save your love and make somebody's day I wish you all the best I still make tea for two Expecting to see you there Thought I'd be fine Thought I wouldn't care by now I don't want you back It wasn't good enough I chose to leave Still this is tough I'm happy to be the one who got away I'll come back for the rest Save your love and make somebody's day I wish you all the best

hourglass I saw you In time you slipped away When the mirror crashed I called you And turned to hear you say If only for today I am unafraid Take my breath away Take my breath away What Is Love

got The best of me Come on and Take the rest of me Oh baby Though you're close to me We seem so far apart Maybe given time You'll have a change of heart If it takes forever boy then I'm prepared to wait The day you give your love to me Won't be a day too late The Swimming Song (Loudon Wainwright III) This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath and I kicked my feet And I moved my arms around I moved my arms around This summer I swam in the ocean And I swam in a swimming pool Salt my wounds, chlorine my eyes I'm a self-destructive fool I'm a self-destructive fool This summer I did the backstroke And you know that that's not all I did the breast stroke and the butterfly And the old Australian crawl The old Australian crawl This summer I swam in a public place And a reservoir, to boot At the latter I was informal At the former I wore my suit I wore my swimming suit, yeah This summer I did swan dives And jackknifes for you all And once when you weren't looking I did a cannonball I did a cannonball This summer I went swimming This summer I might have drowned But I held my breath and I kicked my feet And I moved my arms around I moved my arms around
Lullabies
Twinkle, Twinkle, Little Star Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are Up above the world so high Like a diamond in the sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are When the blazing sun is gone When he nothing shines upon Then you show your little light Twinkle, twinkle, all the night Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are In the dark blue sky you keep And often through my curtains peep For you never shut your eye Till the sun is in the sky Twinkle, twinkle, little star How I wonder what you are

DARKEST NIGHT Darkest Night It was cold, it was dark No spark, not a flicker of hope They left him to freeze on his knees And they were back on the road They said the sea would take him And who would listen then Is that what you get when you stand up For your fellow men Waves crashing in his head Reliving what was said On the darkest of nights When he had to fight for his life He was beaten and bruised Aching down to his bones He made it back, the sky was black Feet were cut by the stones They said the sea would take him And who would listen then Is that what you get when you stand up For your fellow men Waves crashing in his head Reliving what was said On the darkest of nights When he had to fight for his life Waves crashing in his head Reliving what was said On the darkest of nights When he had to fight for his life Hindsight I choose to believe there is good in everyone Refuse to let you or reality prove me wrong Constantly pouring the glass to keep it half full In my emotional China shop, you're the bull Maybe hindsight is the key I wish I could go back, one, two, three Just quickly warn a younger me 'Cause there are some bad fish in the sea There is some freedom and not wanting to play along Maybe I just wanna march to my own drum In my own way going forward, never back You are no longer even a dot on my map Maybe hindsight is the key Wish I could go back, one, two, three Just quickly warn a younger me 'Cause there are some mad, mad fish They say it can't hurt you if you don't know Well, that just leaves more time for mould to grow 'Cause when you spread the truth so thin It's only a matter of time 'til the rot sets in Maybe hindsight is the key Wish I could go back, one, two, three Quickly warn a younger me There are some bad fish in the sea
