A SIMPLE GLITCH OF THE HEART
It’s in the air that we breathe
Are we infected?
Constantly searching for spare parts
It’s in the cumulus clouds
Short circuit madness
The perks of being upside down
Don’t worry, I’ll hurry
To make sure our memory’s erased
No hiccups, no back-ups
We’re on the edge
Our world’s crumblin’ down
It’s turnin’ inside out
Our world’s crumblin’ down
It’s just a simple glitch of the heart
It’s just a rhythmical flaw that’s taking over
Losing control slowly
A superficial repair that kept us going
It will never keep us together
Don’t worry, I’ll hurry
To make sure our memory’s erased
There’s hiccups, no back-ups
We’re on the edge
Our world’s crumblin’ down
It’s turned inside out
Our world’s tumblin’ down
It’s just a simple glitch of the heart
I worry, you hurry
To make sure our memory’s erased
There’s hiccups, no back-ups
We’re on the edge
Our world’s crumblin’ down
It’s turnin’ inside out
Our world’s crumblin’ down
It’s just a simple glitch of the heart
THINKING ABOUT YOU
I remember you so clearly
The salty water on your soft skin
Even though there was no sunshine
I had a real good time because of you
And I’m thinking about you now
What about you?
Are you thinking about me now?
I’m missing the joking, the laughter
The tears that we shared
The moments of instant joy
And I’m missing the water, the placid
The rain and your touch
That look on your melancholic face
And I’m thinking about you now
What about you?
Are you thinking about me now?
I remember those days clearly
The late night dinners, all those wishes
And sittin’ barefoot on that beach
I heard a bell and finally realize
And I think about you somehow
Yes, it’s true
And I’m thinking about you now
I’m missing the joking, the laughter
The tears that we shared
The moments of instant joy
And I’m missing the water, the placid
The rain and your touch
That look on your melancholic face
And I’m thinking about you now
What about you?
Are you thinking about me now?
You promised me this
I promised you that
But we had to go home and go on with our lives
You thought about this
You thought about that
But you’re way too far like a fallen star
And I’m thinking about you now
And I’m thinking about you now
And I’m missing the water, the placid
The rain and your touch
That look on your melancholic face
And I’m thinking about you now
What about you?
Are you thinking about me now?
THE WRONG PLACE
I wake up, and I think I could use another drink
I’m reaching for a smoke to forget about last night, last night
I get up ’cause I need a shot of instant remedy
I put a record on, it makes me think about last night, last night
It all ended in the weirdest trip
He started actin’ way too hip
That’s why I ignored you for a long, long time
But then you had the best opening line
(You’re in the wrong place)
You’re lying next to me, I don’t know where to hide
I see his smiley face that makes me wanna cry
What was I thinking? ‘Cause all we did was fight
Don’t you еver dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt
You wake up, and you think you won’t need another drink
You don’t want me to smoke, though I didn’t stop last night, last night
You get up ’cause you need an organic cup of tea
You put a record on, it makes you think about last night, last night
You confuse me with your blurry eyes
Thought you were a different kind of guy
That’s why, I took you to my messy place
But it felt as if we were in a different space
(You’re in the wrong place)
You’re lying next to me, I don’t know where to hide
I see his smiley face that makes me wanna cry
What was I thinking? ‘Cause all we did was fight
Don’t you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt
You’re in the wrong place
You’re in the wrong place
You’re in the wrong place
You’re in the wrong place
You’re in the wrong place
Don’t you ever dare to wear my Johnny Cash t-shirt
BELGIUM IN THE RAIN
We’re tiny atoms in a chaotic universe
You’re in luck, drawn in my cloud
Neutrons makes sure we don’t part
You’re always on the move
Never seem to lose that groove
Alone and we’re on a jet
You’re like Belgium in the rain
A cloudy day, a little strange
Kaleidoscope of grey
You’re like Belgium in the rain
A little sad
But you smile whenever I stay
Although you’re far away
You feel so close to me
I’m the proton in your core
Positivity
Your head is always in
Those very fluffy clouds
You are my biggеst sin
You’re like Belgium in thе rain
A cloudy day, a little strange
Kaleidoscope of grey
You’re like Belgium in the rain
A little sad
But you smile whenever I stay
Protons, neutrons, all those electrons
They make the world go ’round
Protons, neutrons, all those electrons
Make sure we’ll never part
As although the chord is strung
It can be dangerous
Protons, neutrons, all those electrons
You’re like Belgium in the rain
A little sad
But you smile whenever I stay
You’re like Belgium in the rain
A cloudy day, a little strange
Kaleidoscope of grey
You’re like Belgium in the rain
A little sad
But you smile whenever I stay
You’re like Belgium in the rain
LIFT ME UP
Lift me off the floor
All the time I was waitin’
You thought I was crazy
Because I was waitin’ all night
All this time I was gazin’
There’s something amazin’
Without realizin’
It was you who kept me warm
When I got cold feet
It was you who kept me awake
When I was fallin’ asleep
It was you who made me strong
When I was feeling weak
Whenever I am going down
It’s you that takes me from the ground
And lifts me off the floor
Gravity is pullin’ hard
You make me long for more
But won’t you take me higher
And just lift me off the floor?
Gravity is pullin’ hard
You make me long for more
All the time I was walking
Without belongings
To a fata morgana
The sky and me
All this time I was fighting
With windmills and demons
The strangest of creatures
It was you who saved me
From my worst enemy
It was you who kept me away
From the worst version of me
It was you ho made me see
I was incomplete
Whenever I am going down
It’s you that takes me from the ground
And lifts me off the floor
Gravity is pullin’ hard
You make me long for more
But won’t you take me higher
And just lift me off the floor?
Gravity is pullin’ hard
You make me long for more
IF YOU'D REALLY KNOW ME
Caught in my troubled mind
I don’t know how to talk
My head is slowly closing every lock
Why do you want me to become something I’m not?
‘Cause I won’t comply with every thought
Sometimes I love to be on my own
Makes me forget about the mess
That you tend to create inside my head
But when you’re gone I’m in distress
If you’d really know me
You would sing a different song
If you’d really know me
You wouldn’t leave me alone
When I need you the most
We were caught by a killer wave
Of drunken hazy words
We were drowning in a sea of emotional dirt
But in the end, we were saved by common sense
But in the end, you finally got what I meant
Sometimes I love to be on my own
Makes me forget about the mess
That you tend to create inside my head
But when you’re gone I’m in distress
If you’d really know me
You would sing a different song
If you’d really know me
You wouldn’t leave me alone
If you’d really know me
You would sing a different song
If you’d really know me
You wouldn’t leave me alone
When I need you the most
ONE BIG LIE
When I met you, you looked so smart
But being witty can feel so stupid
When I met you, I thought you were good at heart
But now I know you can’t rely on Cupid
You see me on the start then I found out
You cannot trust someone who seems too perfect
All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
But I was wrong
Your blue Monday shirt looked so cool
A top disguise for the perfect fool
Your Ray-Bans were darker than the darkest night
A distraction from your anti-blue eyes
That seemed trustworthy, but then I found out
You can’t rely on someone who seems perfect
All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
But I was wrong
We can glue things back together
But the crack will stay visible
A spiderweb of lies will always remind me that
All the time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
All this time, all this time
I thought I loved you
I thought I loved you
All this time, I loved you
I thought I loved you
But I was wrong
CIRCUS
Roll up, roll up
Wake up in the dark
I feel it getting lighter
Watch the world disappear
Tricks to thrill and to fear
Hold your head up higher
Hurray! They’re coming to town
The freaks and the clowns
A merry-go-round
Such a colorful crowd (until the lights go out)
Roll up, roll up
Take a spin on the top
Amazing death defier
Once to bring you near
Hold your heart, taste your tears
Won’t you walk along the wire?
Hurray! They’re coming to town
The freaks and the clowns
A merry-go-round
Such a colorful crowd (until the lights go out)
Danger, fire
Run now, you liar
Wilder and wilder
Sleep now, it’s over (not another end)
Roll up, roll up
Wake up in the dark
I feel it gеtting lighter
Watch the world disappear
Tricks to thrill and to fеar
Hold your head up higher
Hurray! They’re coming to town
The freaks and the clowns
A merry-go-round
Such a colorful crowd (until the lights out)
FULL MOON DUEL
I always run from that tempting hearts love
That burns my heartstrings every time
I always run from, aching sweet from
Ignoring every sign
We long for a full moon duel
Back to back, we’re waiting for a final call
We try to kill fire with fuel
Now it’s time to put you down
Let me put you down
I always run from all the bad ones
How did you get under my skin?
I always run from haunting wild drums
Will you draw your gun?
We long for a full moon duel
Back to back, we’re waiting for a final call
We try to kill fire with fuel
Now it’s time to put you down
When I put you down I’ll find
Find a peace of mind
I never have to hide and run again
When I put you down I’ll start
Digging for the gold
That we buried a long time ago
We long for a full moon duel
Back to back, we’re waiting for a final call
We try to kill fire with fuel
Now it’s time to put you down
Let me put you down
Let me put you down
Let me put you down
Now it’s time to put you down
Let me put you down
HIDDEN STORIES
Everybody has a hidden story
You can try to reset
But it just won’t come back
Everybody needs a hidden story
Can you cope with the fact?
So cover up
Give it a shape, rearrange
Did you change what your memory unveils?
Sometimes we chase another trace
Of the fiction we paint in our tales
Everybody dreams a hidden story
That you thought you reset
Never thought it would come back
Everybody hides a hidden story
We can’t cope with the facts
So cover up and give it a shape
Rearrange, need to change
So your memory won’t feel
And so you can chase another trace
Of the truth you erased in your tale
Who do you think you are?
Light from a dying star, star
Everybody wants a different story
From the one that they have
But we just can’t go back
Everybody hates their hidden story
But we can cope with the facts
Don’t cover up and show me your shape
Do refrain, do not change
Except that memory fails
Don’t need to chase another trace
Truth can be hidden in tales
Who do you think you are?
Light from a dying star, star
LETHAL SKIES
It’s so divine
To dive and drown
In milk and honey streams
Paralysed
By frantic eyes
Mirrors and the sea
My tender bones
Gently broken by a dose
Of paradise
with lethal skies
It’s so surreal
Predictable
Sedating every fool
Sweet and cruel
Reflections in
An unrevealing pool
My tender bones
Gently broken by a dose
Of paradise
with lethal skies
PARANOID AFFAIR
Hello, it’s nice to meet you
I’ve been waiting years up in the blue
Can I come out to play now
This could be the start of something good
So let’s start a paranoid affair
‘Cause love is overrated
So a paranoid affair
Is all that we can think of
Hello boy, I need you
Have you been waiting in the blue?
Come out come out let’s play now
This could be the end of something new
So let’s start a paranoid affair
‘Cause love is overrated
So a paranoid affair
Is all that we can think of
There’s trouble in the pines whenever we are passing through
There’s trouble in the atmosphere between me and you
Every time we try to make this world a better place
The shadows in the pines make us lost
So let’s start a paranoid affair
‘Cause love is overrated
So a paranoid affair
Is all that we can think of
ROMANTIC

Cause i’m not romantic
UPTIGHT
I start to stutter when I think I care too much
I know I mumble while I try to get in touch
I spill my tonic every time I care too much
I just panic when I start to get in touch oh
Why why why why

Next to you
And the closer you get yes the more I’m upset
Getting uptight

Running fast from the fact I care too much
Giving up when I start to get in touch oh

Whenever I’m with you I’m uptight
You love make me feel so uptight

CONCRETE SKIN
Some say that we’re never gonna find it
Some say it’s right under our noses
Sometimes we switch to auto pilot
To go where we never dare to go
To forget
That in the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
In the shadows of suburbs that slowly close us in
In the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
Elbowing our way out of this concrete skin
Some say that the truth is right behind us
Sometimes we’re looking back for more
Sometimes we sabotage our wires
To go where we never dare to go
To forget
That in the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
In the shadows of suburbs that slowly close us in
In the shadows of cities that never sleep we sin
Elbowing our way out of this concrete skin
Just a little bit more skin
Show me a little more skin
LOOKING FOR STARS
These are the days when we don’t get out of bed
These are the days when nothing is all we have
We are young
We are bright
We have love on our side
Life is one big thrill
We are dumb
We are loud
As if we only can shout
Every night ends the same
We are looking for stars
But we only find sugar
We are looking for stars
These nights are all insane
We are all on a high
Night after night
Lost in outer space
We are looking for stars
But we only find sugar
These are the nights when we don’t go to bed
These are the nights when nothing is already said
We are bold
Play it hard
We have time on our side
Attracted by every sin
We are dumb
We are loud
As if we only can shout
Every night ends the same
We are looking for stars
But we only find sugar
We are looking for stars
These nights are all insane
We are all on a high
Night after night
Lost in outer space
We are looking for stars
But we only find sugar
HORRIBLE PERSON
Picture perfect images on the outside
But you have seen me late at night and know it isn’t bright
‘Cause I drink too much, want my mind stuck
I’m avoiding getting too in touch with deep stuff
Heard a song of mine today on the radio
Should be proud of what they say
‘Stead I feel astray
You are the perfect melody, I’m the wrong chord that ruins the harmony
I’m a horrible person deep down you know I’m bad
I’m a horrible person although it may seem sad
I seem to do fine you know you love my fire
We’re the example that disasters can stay alive
I’m a horrible person and sometimes it makes you glad
Picture perfect failure on the inside
Dare to take a chance just know I might bite
Sometimes we hurt others we work
Let’s walk this line between coffee and herbal tea
Saw a plastic smile on the TV screen
Saying opposites make a great team
You and your cosmic convictions
Me the cold one who says the wrong pun
Remember when we promised to be always there no matter what
You said that storms just wouldn’t phase us wouldn’t change us
So promise me it’s the same that we won’t turn words to bullets no
When I say go away I mean I need you bad
I’m a horrible person deep down you know I’m bad
I’m a horrible person although it may seem sad
I seem to do fine you know you love my fire
We’re the example that disasters can stay alive
I’m a horrible person and sometimes it makes you glad
ON AND ON
On and on
Through streets of neon looking for a home
I want to see where I am going but these lights
Are blinding me
I’m close enough
Still too far to see things clear
I want them all
Answers were supposed to be right here
I’m blinded by it all
So I keep going
On and on
I’m walking on the edge of the world
I’m walking on the edge until it hurts
On and on
Paralysed, I’m stuck and I am holding on
It doesn’t really matter where you are
When you can’t move along
Hurry up it don’t revolve around the little wrongs
Left or right the choices that we have
Are all we have so
On and on
I’m walking on the edge of the world
I’m walking on the edge until it hurts
FEATHERS AND TAR
He won’t come back today
He won’t come back today
There’s things to do and people to see
He won’t come back today
Some people have way too much
They own some fancy stuff
He knows his ways, keeps in the shade
Some people they own too much
So he had a real bold plan
He mentioned it to the wrong man
The liquor always won but now he will be hung
He won’t come back today
So his wife, she had a gun
She gave it to her son
Who wasn’t scared of feathers and tar so he walked into that bar
You can guess who finally won
SLEEPLESS
I worry a lot
And I’m never sure
It’s hard to choose
So much to lose
I want things I can’t afford
I cannot sleep
I cannot dream
The night is way too long
Even when I’m counting sheep
The night is way too long
Sleepless nights
Exhausted, too uptight
I don’t think before I speak
It makes me lose sight
The ceiling is all I see
With darkness between you and me
I’m counting every hour
Completely overpowered
It makes me wonder why
I cannot sleep
I cannot dream
The night is way too long
Even when I’m counting sheep
The night is way too long
LONG TIME GONE
Long forgotten city lights
Twinkling through the soothing night
This city feels abandoned
It’s part of our lives
The air is hot, it trembles
It carries ashes we can’t see
This city feels depressed
A treasure without a key
Long time gone
Time is moving fast
History’s moving slow
Long time gone
Sometimes it is better
Not to know
Long forgotten histories
Stories full of poetry
One day we are happy
The next we’re really sad
Words are trembling in the air
Try to stick but mostly fail
Dyslexic hearts don’t match
They can’t remove the veil
IN WONDERLAND
I’m painting roses
Heavy rain
Colours run
You call my name
I can’t hear you
Way up high
Twinkle twinkle
Stars don’t cry
I will be heard
I will be seen
When I am queen
And what I’ve heard
And what I’ve seen
Will all make sense
When I am queen
Mirror mirror
On my wall
Tell me how
And when to call
The looking glass
That shows no pain
In Wonderland
We’re all the same
I LIKE THE WAY I DANCE
I can’t wake a world
That only wants to sleep
And I can’t change a heart
That doesn’t want to beat
Voice whispers that I don’t fit
Walking down the street
Learning lines to protect myself
The story’s incomplete
Well it’s over
When it’s over
I’m not sober
And I don’t care
I like the way I dance when I’m
High
A broken record’s playing
Is all you seem to want to be
I watch you walk in circles
Love, hate, sleep and press repeat
My life is elemental
Need the earth, wind and sea
I’m counting numbers
Look for synchronicity

You gotta suck it up and let him go.
He calls you baby, but can’t you see?
You’re gonna wind up in a mess like me.
(female)
No, you didn’t understand,
He’s an innocent man.
Nothing to do with your sinister plan
He’s under my thumb.

No, you know that’s a lie,
He won’t be happy till he makes you cry

It really hurts to see you suffer so.
He calls you baby, but can’t you see?
You’re only living in a fantasy.
(female)
No, you misunderstood,
When I said he was good.
I simply meant he does me like you never could.
When I’m under his thumb and he’s making me…

COCAINE KIDS
[Verse 1]
Try a little mushroom pie
Buy, buy a little piece of sky
Now I’m gonna show you how
Meow, meow, says the purple cow
[Chorus]
You can drink ten cups of coffee but
It don’t taste quite the same
(It don’t?)
Absinthe and moonshine in comparison
Are pretty lame
(Uh huh)
Oh it’s hip to be a cocaine kid
I’d rather kick it with the cocaine kids
I’d rather kick it with the cocaine kids
[Verse 2]
Fly through the mushroom sky
Buy, buy a little piece of that pie
Sounds like it left the ground
Honk honk, ‘Til your head spins round
[Chorus]
You can drink ten cups of coffee but
It don’t taste quite the same
(Nope it don’t)
Absinthe and moonshine in comparison
Are pretty lame
(Oh)
Oh it’s hip to be a cocaine kid
I’d rather kick it with the cocaine kids
Nananananana, Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
[Bridge]
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, uh huh cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
I’d rather kick it with the cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
I’d rather sip it with the…
[Spoken Interlude]
The writers of this material in no way encourage
Or condone the use of illicit substances
If you choose to indulge in illegal recreational
Activities, you do so at the risk of prosecution
So why not sit back, relax and have a nice cup of tea and a biscuit, okay…?
[Outro]
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, uh huh cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
Cocaine kids, cocaine kids
Ah cocaine kids, uh huh cocaine kids
DEEP FOREST
[Verse 1]
A growing forest is not as noisy
As a single falling tree
Scary episodes don’t tell us what
The whole story’s gonna be
[Chorus]
As the achy bruises disappear
You’ll be that one scar reminding me
How my vision got troubled
How because of you
I couldn’t see clearly
[Verse 2]
I crossed the desert, a devastated land
Still got blinded by one grain of sand
But losing sight has strengthened my senses
Now I know I need, I need nobody’s hand
[Chorus]
As the achy bruises disappear
You’ll be that one scar reminding me
How my vision got troubled
How because of you
I couldn’t see clearly
[Bridge: Instrumental]
[Chorus]
As the achy bruises disappear
You’ll be that one scar reminding me
How my vision got troubled
How because of you
I couldn’t see clearly
As the achy bruises disappear
You’ll be that one scar reminding me
How my vision was doubled
How because of you
I couldn’t see clearly
THIN LINE
Although we both know we belong to a different world
Although we both know it’s not wrong to differ
It takes so much more than a guess to know
Although we don’t always share the same thoughts
It wasn’t always the same battle we fought
It takes way more then believe to know
[Chorus]
We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work
[Verse 2]
My armor is tough to penetrate
And though you don’t always succeed
You keep the faith
Grab my hand, it’s getting late
And though you are not always sure of yourself
Insecure thoughts can be such a hell
But you found a way to break the spell
We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work
We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work
We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work
We can hurt each other with loads of love
We can love each other with loads of hurt
It’s a thin, thin line to make it work
HIDING IN A SONG
Honey I’m a hider
I never ever show my hell
You know I’m not a fighter
Keep my gun pointing at myself
I’ve been thinking real hard now
‘Bout all that you had to say
It got real black and nasty
I want to feel elastic
I close my eyes
Put the music real loud
It’s the only way I know
To ride this storm out
You can cry until the break of dawn
Keep screaming ’til your pretty voice is gone
I’m hiding in a song
Will we ever go back?
Back to heaven’s gate
Where one and all are dead right
Never carry their own weight
I’ve been thinking real hard now
‘Bout all that you had to say
I claim to be elastic
Snap… Nasty
I close my eyes
Put the music real loud
It’s the only way I know
To ride this storm out
You can cry until the break of dawn
Keep screaming ’til your pretty voice is gone
I’m hiding in a song
I’m hiding in a song
You can cry until the break of dawn
Keep screaming ’til your pretty voice is gone
You can cry until the break of dawn
Keep screaming ’til your pretty voice is gone
I’m hiding in a song
I’m hiding in a song
I’m hiding in a song
I’m hiding in a song
Honey I’m a hider
I never ever show my hell
PRAISE BE
Praise be to the working man
I used to be a scientist working in a lab
Creating all my viruses, creating them real fast
67 Nobel prizes, really in my prime
Until one day my rats they said:
Hey boy you’ve got time
I’ve got time
I’m fed up with these rats
I’m starting up a movement with a bunch of killer cats
He’s got time
He’s out every night
Starting out with drinking and always ending up in fights
No lazy days were ever meant for me
Praise be to the working man
Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
Buddha, Buddha, Buddha, Buddha
I’ve got time, you’ve got time
And so I went to Asia
And so I went and ran
Hiding from the notorious law and looking for some sun
I was chasing that old dragon
Got hooked on Chinese wine
Greyhound was my middle name
And in Chao-Min I did time
And boy, there I really had some time
No lazy days were ever meant for me
Praise be to the working man…
No meant for me
Praise be to the working man…
(I used to be a scientist working in a lab
Creating all my viruses, creating them real fast
67 Nobel prizes, really in my prime
Until one day my rats they said:
Hey boy you’ve got time)

GOD'S GIFT
Don’t be late for me
I won’t wait you see
Got to be quick
I’m too impatient I admit
So don’t be late for me
I don’t like it you see
Don’t blame the past
If this thing is meant to last
I don’t know why you think you can touch
When you talk too much and you’re making a fuss
Stop right there there’s a woman in here
Didn’t mama ever make it clear?
And so you talk in a hideous way
You think you’re smart but that won’t make me stay
You can’t believe that I’m turning you down
Think you’re gods gift but I think you’re a clown
Don’t be too early
No girl likes that, see
Don’t look for words
If you wake up with the birds
Don’t be too early
I don’t like that you see
I’m not very nice
When the sleep is in my eyes
I don’t know why you think you can touch
When you talk too much and you’re making a fuss
Stop right there there’s a woman in here
Didn’t mama ever make it clear?
And so you talk in a hideous way
You think you’re smart but that won’t make me stay
You can’t believe that I’m turning you down
Think you’re gods gift but I think you’re a clown
And so you talk in a hideous way
You think you’re smart but that won’t make me stay
You can’t believe that I’m turning you down
Think you’re gods gift but I think you’re a clown
MOVING
We’re moving faster than you think
So don’t blink and miss it go by
I know the change will do us good
It’s what they all say, but don’t they look grey?
At least we have the luxury to retrace our steps
Can’t we find something to accept?
I know, that you won’t let it show
We’re moving slower than you think
We won’t sink, if you stay by my side
What’s strange to them is real to us
They make a fuss for no reason at all
At least we have the luxury to retrace our steps
Can’t we find something to accept?
I know, that you won’t let it show
AMALFI
Morning sunshine
You are always smiling when I open my….
My eyes do shine
Radiate like a nuclear dense cloud
You’re like a real strong cup of tea
Giving me more than energy
Caffeine is just a small advance
For all the triggers that make me
Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance
Good night sleep tight
feels as if I could swim across the ocean
My Film star
Playing the lead in my nightly stop motion
Ginseng is weak compared to you
I’m wandering round without a clue
By enforcing my sweet fantasy
My pheromones are making me
Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance
Long time ago I fell for you
But we had so much more to do
It took a while to synchronize
But now we’re locked it makes me
Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance
Like the amalfi
Coast you are wildly curling beautiful
Hypno-tising
Water makes me fond of the un useful
Long time ago I fell for you
But we had so much more to do
It took a while to synchronize
But now we’re locked it makes me
Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance
Na nana nana nananana boy you make me dance
Na nana nana nananana you put me in a trance
ABC OF APOLOGY
A B C D E F G
The alphabet of apology
I learned to talk long time ago
It ain’t hard for me to say no
A B C D E F G
The alphabet of hypocrisy
Too many bad, bad words online
Tasting like cheap quality wine
A B C D E F G
This is not an apology
A B C D E F G
Why don’t you stop hurting me
You can tell me what you want
You can tell me what you need
But the only thing you’ll get is an empty, ugly chair
In an empty house
You can try to agitate
Try to cut me with a blade
But it won’t have any effect on me
And my dignity
A B C D E F G
The alphabet of apology
No way you can get me down
It is time to see me go
A B C D E F G
No time for apologies
Dyslectic feelings won’t make me stay
It’s too late for repentant prayers, prayers
Repentant prayers, prayers
ETHER
I can’t talk
I was blinded by your beauty
I am choked
By the things you never said
In silence lies no beauty when the words you said not truly made their point
And so I choke
How can I understand
How you disappeared like a thief in the night
How can I understand
How you vaporised like ether my love
And so I smile
To hide all my sorrow
In a while
You’ll just be one more scar
A scar that will remind me of your cold and painful beauty
But I will
I will survive
How can I understand
How you disappeared like a thief in the night
How can I understand
How you vaporised like ether my love
How on earth are you able
To put me with the trash
Treating me like a stranger
Amputating all we had
You told me you do love me
Is this the way to show
Why did you give me that final blow
And so I smile
To hide all my sorrow
In a while
You’ll just be one more scar
How can I understand
How you disappeared like a thief in the night
How can I understand
How you vaporised like ether my love
RADIO SILENCE
I feel so frightened about what’s
Gonna happen today
I feel excited about the
Fact there’s no guarantee
The music seems darker
Whenever you hide
The music seems louder
Whenever you don’t make a sound
You’re driving me crazy
Don’t you dare to stand back
You’re driving me crazy
I’m ready for you to attack
I am frustrated about all
All the things you don’t say
I feel neglected whenever you
Turn your back on me
Telling a story without any words
Did anyone tell you
That radio silence can hurt
You’re driving me crazy
Don’t you dare to stand back
You’re driving me crazy
I’m ready for you to attack
I can not stand radio silence
And it’s making me bleed
I am crazy
Because of you
Turning your back on me
Won’t solve a goddamn thing
Why don’t you
Scream and shout (Because of you)
Turning your back on me
Won’t solve a goddamn thing
Why don’t you
Scream and shout
Turning your back on me
Won’t solve a goddamn thing
Why don’t you
Scream and shout
Turning your back on me
Won’t solve a goddamn thing
Why don’t you
Scream and shout
You’re driving me crazy
I’m ready for you to attack
I can not stand radio silence
and it’s making me bleed
I am crazy
Because of you
BAD WEATHER
You can tell summer is gone by the smell of leaves
Lying around as a toy for the autumn breeze
Things never change no matte how hard you do say please
Nights are getting cold, soon it will freeze
Oh bad weather
Oh dark weather
The rain pours hard
Can’t see a thing
Erasing the word “together”
Grass is the only thing that’s remaining green
Black bears are preparing for their winter sleep
All geese are flying to far away seas
Days are getting short leaving more time to read
Oh bad weather
Oh dark weather
The rain pours hard
Can’t see a thing
Erasing the word “together”
Hmmm, hmmm
Oh bad weather
Oh dark weather
The rain pours hard
Can’t see a thing
Erasing the word “together”
BOOMERANG
He likes to play an electric guitar
He does sing, but not in a choir
He thinks he’s cool with his 19” tires
Got the looks but he’s playing with fire
Always comes back like a boomerang back to me
The words of a liar do hurt like breaking a knee
Sober feels out of control
Evenings are high, morning are lowW
He can’t accept that he’s getting thirty
He’s oh so slow, never in a hurry
He serves desire with hurt as a potion to me
Whenever he’s gone he reinvents the word free
DEVIL KIND OF GIRL
There’s something wrong with me
Something’s wrong with you
The color we do like is a deep, dark blue
Got everything you want
Got everything I need
The only thing you long for apparently is me
I’m not the tiger to hunt
Oo, I’m not the one you want
Locked in your world
Don’t want to be disturbed
Every sense of realism tastes like dirt
You make up your own dreams
A fairy tale of squirrels
You gotta accept boy I’m a devil kind of girl
I’m not the tiger to hunt
Oo, I’m not the one you want
‘Cause you keep saying
You’re the one I want
No I’m not the one you want
You’re the one I need
No I’m not the one you really need
Can’t live without you girl
There’s so much more than me in life
I’ll never be your cute, quiet, lovely, little, sweet wife
You’re the one I want
Don’t say such things
You’re the one I need
Wake up and spread your wings
Can’t live without you girl
I know it’s hard but why don’t you accept
I’m a devil kind of girl
You’re elephant gun
Seems a lot of fun
Your vision is blurred by a very bright sun
You try to hit
But the shoe won’t fit
At midnight I turn into an evil witch
I’m not the tiger to hunt
Oo, I’m not the one you want
‘Cause you keep saying
You’re the one I want
No I’m not the one you want
You’re the one I need
No I’m not the one you really need
Can’t live without you girl
There’s so much more than me in life
I’ll never be your cute, quiet, lovely, little, sweet wife
SINGLE MALT
You are sailing away
On a lake of madness
On a wave of sadness
You prefer the taste
Of single malt sadness
A dirty shot of madness
You slowly float subconsciously
You don’t even care what it does to me
I used to be your gladness
You are heading
For a storm of illness
A hurricane of sickness
You’ve made your choice
A long time ago
Without giving me the right to vote
You slowly float subconsciously
You don’t even care what it does to me
I used to be your gladness
Even love doesn’t seem to work
As a drug against the rush
I used to be your gladness
Now you are my sadness
I used to be your gladness
Now I am your sadness
Will it all end in madness
PLASTICINE
You had the perfect opening line
Zero words just a glass of Bourgondy wineE
You broke the silence, yes you spoke
It only took seconds to make you dissapear
Your world is so fake
Full of plasticine and glaze
“The bling” is all you stand for
And everything I hate
Your world is papier mâché
Oh so poorly made
But when I zoom
I see the cracks
That’ll finally make us break
I still remember you gave me that look
You seemed to me as an open book
But once you smiled the dream did die
You made it clear you had to dissapear
I’d loved to believe your lies
I’d loved to colour all your black and white
But all your metaphores and poëtics words
That were decorated with hidden thorns
They did reveil you’re fake
GRAVITY
I, I do stumble
Stumble and fall
Over you
You,
Trip every night
Trip every day
Over me
When we try to swim
We’re drowning even harder
Gravity controls, gravity controls
The way we’re falling
Gravity controls, gravity controls
The way we sink
We’re floating into space, floating into space
So boy, why don’t you kiss me?
Waves
Suck you down
To the bottom
Of the deep dark sea
A twister
Lifts me up
Till the point
I can’t breath
When we try to jump
The floor is even harder
Gravity controls, gravity controls
The way we’re falling
Gravity controls, gravity controls
The way we sink
We’re floating into space, floating into space
So boy, why don’t you
Why don’t you tumble down
So why don’t you hit the ground
So I can keep on fightin
Against natures laws
WAIT FOR A WHILE
We gotta wait for a while
Wait for a while but we can’t live in denial
Because its almost perfect
Wait for a while (Wait for a while)
Wait till the jigsaw falls into place but right now
I can’t wait any longer
Where’s lighting there is always thunder
Sometimes it makes me wonder
If it wouldn’t be better to
Wait for a while (Wait for a while)
Wait for the right time to unleash our desire
Almost is perfect so
Wait for a while (Wait for a while)
Sometimes the waiting makes it more worthwhile
I can’t wait any longer
Where’s lighting there is always thunder
Sometimes it makes me wonder
If it wouldn’t be better to
Move on
I want to move on
Do you want to move on
Do we have to
Wait for a while or
Should we stop thinking and follow our heart
I can’t wait any longer
Where’s lighting there is always thunder
Sometimes it makes me wonder
If it wouldn’t be better to
Wait for a while
Can we wait for a while (Wait for a while)
Gotta wait for a while
Should we wait for a while
Or move on
ROADBLOCK
She ain’t real
She acts likes a stranger
When she walks by
Thinking she plays her own game
She makes me smile
Whenever she’s around
Lemons seem sweet to you
But in the end you’re just a fool in her mixed-up stew
That roadblock between your ears
Disconnects common and sense
You are not a part of her jet black heart
I’m no longer there for you
Wake up
YOou’re acting like a stranger
When you walk by
Think you
Control your own game
You make me sigh
Lemons seem so sweet when I look at you
But in my band there is no place for another fool
You can’t decide who to choose
So bright orange is turning blue
Was the grass greener on the other side
COPPER (CU)
You oxidate slowly
You change every time
Our chemical formula
Doesn’t seem right
You polish things slowly
But after a while
Shiny’s too shiny
And bright is too bright
You’re copper baby
You’ll turn into green
If I don’t take care
The glow will disappear
You’re a bittersweet taste
In the back of my mouth
A vicious reaction
That’s burning my mind
You’re copper baby
You’ll turn into green
If I don’t take care
The glow will disappear
You’re copper baby
You’ll turn into green
If I don’t take care
The glow will disappear
ERASED
Were you ever erased
From someone’s mind as if you never existed
Well I am, yes I am erased
The lines of my face rubbed out in your brain
I know it’s over
It feels unfinished
What have I done to deserve this
I’m better of without but still I do miss you
How does it hurt to be erased
Violently torn away from your memories
I know it’s over
It feels like unfinished love
That reminds me every day
How the coldness in your heart has taken my breath away
How can you be stone cold
Leaving me here all alone
CLOUDS
Some weeks all things seem to go wrong
You lose your keys, at lunch you bite your tongue
Everything slips out of your hands
At work you soldier on
I don’t mind to see you this way
All the clouds around your head are grey
‘Cause I know they’ll part when the weekend starts
And trouble will disappear
Forgetting things can create a mess
And for you it’s hard not to confess
Plates do break
You make mistakes
But still you soldier on
I don’t mind to see you this way
All the clouds around your head are grey
‘Cause I know they’ll part when the weekend starts
And trouble will disappear
But we’ll never surrender
Together we carry on
And if it makes you feel better
Every day I’ll write you a song
I don’t mind to see you this way
All the clouds around your head are grey
‘Cause I know they’ll part when the weekend starts
And trouble will disappear
I don’t mind to see you this way
All the clouds around your head are grey
‘Cause I know they’ll part when the weekend starts
And tears will disappear
HAPPINESS
We’re on our way to next train station
Passing fields, my mind is wondering of,
They don’t mean much to me
Happy is a silly word if you
Think about all the joy we had
There’s so much left to see
Is happiness a word without meaning?
Heaven a place in utopia?
But in the end, we keep on moving
Reverse is not, it’s not part of our style
Forward is the only way
Is happiness a word without meaning
Heaven a place in utopia?
We cannot shout silently
We shouldn’t run away so slowly
There’s so much left for us to do
We got to figure out
If happiness has no meaning
If heaven is part of utopia
If happiness has no meaning
If heaven is part of utopia,
Utopia, utopia, utopia, utopia
UNFINISHED SYMPATHY
I know that I’ve been mad in love before
And how it could be with you
Really hurt me, baby, really hurt me, baby
How can you have a day without a night?
You’re the book that I have opened
And now I’ve got to know much more
The curiousness of your potential kiss
Has got my mind and body aching
Really hurt me, baby, really hurt me, baby
How can you have a day without a night?
You’re the book that I have opened
And now I’ve got to know much more
Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
Like a soul without a mind in a body without a heart
I’m missing every part
ANGER NEVER DIES
See the leaves how slow they tumble down
Covering the green and yellow lawn
As proof of what has been and what will come
Enjoying hazy light of early dawn
It ain’t good enough, good enough
Good enough to try and not succeed
Succeed
Anger never dies
It’s part of life, it’s part of you
The end will cease the fire
And make us accept we tend to lose
See the tears how slow they tumble down
Covering who believes in empty vows
As proof of what has been and what will be
Alcohol puts us both to sleep
It ain’t good enough, good enough
Good enough to try and not succeed
Succeed
Anger never dies
It’s part of life, it’s part of you
The end will cease the fire
And make us accept we tend to lose
Anger never dies
It’s part of life, it’s part of you
The end will cease the fire
And make us accept we tend to lose
Anger never dies
It’s part of life, it’s part of you
The end will cease the fire
And make us accept we tend to lose
We tend to lose
THE NIGHT BEFORE
I ring your bell
The buzzer opens the door
As I walk in, I only mind the floor
I raise my head and I see
A shadow on the wall
Vibrantly, reminding your last call
You are lying on the floor
Trying to remember
What happened the night before
Step by step
The sound of breaking glass
What happened here, well I can only guess
You seem asleep
As I try to put you on the bed
As I find traces of regret
You are lying on the floor
Trying to remember
What happened the night before
You, are you really that sure
That I’m the prince who’ll wake you?
We can’t rewind the movie called our life
And though I’m your hero
I’m not that sure, so unsure I’ll save
You are lying on the floor
Trying to remember
You are lying on the floor
Trying to remember
What happened the night before
You, are you really that sure
That I’m the prince who’ll wake you?
HEARTBROKEN
Since you’ve been gone
you’ would think I feel lonely
cry all night
lose my mind
I’m all alone and it feels like a blessing
well does that disappoint you
I put out all the stops
to feel sad to miss all we had
but I’m sorry I ain’t heartbroken
I put out all the stops
To regret all the fights we had
but really I ain’t heartbroken
Hey I feel great
I feel strong does it really seem so wrong
not to long
for you and the way you’ve been trying
to control me
well you know what
those days are over
Sometimes you should stop…
NORWEGIAN STARS
You tell me a story
It seems a little awkward
To tell you my story
You deserve a lot
You give me no worries
It seems a little vicious
To give you my worries
I do care a lot
Stars in Norway seem brighter
I have never seen such clear sky
In the darkest hour you do shine
Portrait me a story
It seems a little dull to
Reveal you my story
You are all I’ve got
You blind me with worries
It’s all too overwhelming
Our worries tell stories
We do share a lot
Stars in Norway seem brighter
I have never seen such clear sky
In the darkest hour you do shine
Shattered stories
Shattered worries
Who could ever dare to stop us
You do shine
Stars in Norway seem brighter
I have never seen such clear sky
In the darkest hour you do shine
MORE
We can go up north
But we can not run from
All the daily pressure
All restricted measures
Do you still want more
Intriguing things to explore
We can hide down south
But we shouldn’t doubt
Our imagination
It’s the drug we’re on
I’ve got to ask you
Do you still want more
Intriguing things to adore
All the lights go out
Out of the blue
I hear you whisper subtle words
ONE TWO THREE
I got my mind set on you
You make me wonder
how you do the things you can do
I got my eyes locked on you
You make it easy
You make me dream the whole day through
To me you’re perfect
you’re perfect to me
Before we know we’re at one two three
I got my mind set on you
Oh all the things you
All the things we could do
Why don’t you move slow
Why don’t you move closer to me
Is it a problem
if I would come closer to you
Why can’t I get you out of my mind
Oh how I long to be with you
GEORGE'S CAFE
At George’s café there’s no room for lovers
At George’s café we only drink doubles
‘Cause the vibe is slightly strange
And love is out of range
At George’s café you only find trouble
At George’s café you’re always undercover
‘Cause the light is slightly grey
No reason for me to pay
At George’s café
I’ve been here for a million times late
Trying hard to forget your eyes, Grace
At George’s café smoke does linger
At George’s café you gently pull the trigger
Now it hurts to see your smile
Fading fast with every lie
At George’s café
I’ve been here for a million times late
Trying hard to forget your eyes, Grace
IDENTICAL TWINS
Everybody wants him
He’s so popular I wish you were him
You’re the newt best thing
You’re the shadow of what I know
I never gonna have
When you say love
I hardly know the difference
It’s close enough
I can forgive the distance
Hey identical twin
I know you won’t be the same under the skin
You make me long for him more
It’s only because of you and only you
I’m his at all
When you say love
I hardly know the difference
It’s close enough
I can forgive the distance
When you say love
I hardly know the difference
It’s because of you that I want him
It’s only because of you
Identical twin
ENCODED LOVE
I don’t have to tell you what
I don’t have to tell you what to do
The answer in your eyes is vague
The answer in your eyes is deep dark blue
So many years ago you found a way to show remorse
But Morse is just the only code we know
Short long short
Baby it’s hard…
Hard to break encoded love
So hard to break encoded love
It’s all I get from you
But baby we’ll pull through
And all I get from you is encoded love
You don’t have to tell me where
You don’t have to tell me where it hurts
Hope is in your eyes
But hope can be annoying as heartburn
You told me long time ago
You’d push me ‘way when I would show remorse
But this labyrinth of dots & stripes
Is so hard to solve
Baby it’s hard…
Hard to break encoded love
So hard to break encoded love
It’s all I get from you
But baby we’ll pull through
And all I get from you is encoded love
Hard to break encoded love
So hard to break encoded love
It’s all I get from you
But baby we’ll pull through
It’s all I get from you
But baby we’ll pull through
And all I get from you is encoded love
encoded love
encoded love
encoded love
HOW CAN YOU SLEEP
You know I’m always late
You know I make mistakes
I surround you with chaos
When all you need is a break.
So we argue a little
We fight a bit more
When the pain gets too much
You suddenly close the door
Baby, how
How can you sleep tonight
Darling
How, how can you sleep tonight
You like things perfect
Nothing can be out of place
Ever morning you wake up
Every night I do the same
So we argue a little
We fight a bit more
When the pain gets too much
You suddenly close the door
Baby, how
How can you sleep tonight
Darling
How, how can you sleep tonight
Every time you drink
Way too much
So we end up in tears
And then the lights so beyond the snow
Baby, how
How can you sleep tonight
Darling
How, how can you sleep tonight
Darling
How, how can you sleep tonight
Baby
How, how can you sleep tonight
Baby
How?
SUNDAY AFTERNOON
This sunny second in the late afternoon
December has a nice closely gloom
The clock’s ticking while the wind keeps blowing
It’s four to five
The warm fills the room
While listening to some more 45’s on sunday afternoon
And while time is quickly slowing down for a lazy afternoon
We’re on a mission to another dimension
Shut down the phone, get rid of valuing attention
I’ll take you down to a funny space between 4 and 5
Where you and I do bloom
While listening to some more 45’s on sunday afternoon
And while time is quickly slowing down for a lazy afternoon
While listening to some more 45’s on sunday afternoon
And while time is quickly slowing down for a lazy afternoon
Listening to some more 45’s on sunday afternoon
And while time is quickly slowing down for a lazy afternoon
Intention is built into you and me on sunday afternoon
We’re getting ready for some lazy action on sunday afternoon
DANGER ZONE
We can’t deny
What’s on our mind
We shouldn’t escape ’cause the truth seems wrong
There ain’t no escape ’cause the magnet’s too strong
The fire is burning hard
And the water is way too far
We’re in a danger zone
Danger zone
We’re both on fire
Danger zone
Danger zone
Time will heal, and healing reduces time
We cannot stand still, no we have to move on
Still there’s a thrill
Can’t we finish this all?
The fire is burning hard
And the water is way too far
We’re in a danger zone
Danger zone
We’re both on fire
Danger zone
Danger zone
The fire is burning hard
And the water is way too far
We’re in a danger zone
Danger zone
We’re both on fire
Danger zone
Danger zone
STRANGER
Stranger
We belong in a world that’s too strange for this world
Stranger
We do long for a fatamorgana dream world
Where people love each other
greedy in love
greedy in love
Stranger
touch my face to prove I’m awake in this world
Stranger
gently blow some life into hope for a strange world
Where people love each other
greedy in love
greedy in love
Where people love each other
greedy in love
greedy in love
greedy in love
in love
greedy in love
50 WATT
Emotional amplifier
50 watts of pure desire
Electrified intense luck
Exploded fuse sets the heart on fire
As if we cut the wrong black wire
Intensified adrenaline bluff
Oh no it’s not a catastrophe
Although it’s not how it used to be
We can go on
Ignore the need to fall
Sustained need to doubt the soul
Manipulated final score
Is shame part of the essential four?
Earthly sins dredged in oil
What makes her blind the color gold?
Too many stories left untold
Oh no it’s not a catastrophe
Although it’s not how it used to be
We can go on ignore the need to fall
EXPEDITION IMPOSSIBLE
This is no Indian dream
This is no boat on the sea
Exploring you was never that easy
This is no silicon chip
This is no colonial ship
Exploring you was never that easy
We cannot swim to the shore
Every wave does ask for more
This vicious circle will be hard for us to break for sure
This is no pond or a lake
This is as much I can take
Exploring you was never that easy
This is no Amazon stream
This is what’s left of our team
Exploring you was never that easy
We cannot swim to the shore
Every wave does ask for more
This vicious circle will be hard to break for sure
We cannot swim to the shore
Every wave does ask for more
This vicious circle will be hard to break for sure
CIRCLES
Move on
You’d better move on
You’re walking
In circles
Move on
You’d better move on
You’re walking
In tiny circles
But now
It is too late
There’s way too much pressure
We both lost that little faith
So move on
You’d better move on
You’re walking
In tiny circles
Move on
You’d better move on
You’re walking
In tiny circles
But now
It is too late
There’s way too much pressure
We both lost that little faith
So move on
But now
It is too late
There’s way too much pressure
We both lost that little faith
So move on
Move on
You’d better move on
You’re walking
In tiny circles
So move on
You’d better move on
You’re walking
In tiny circles
So move on
GENTLE STORM
I can’t rest my case
Important things do get erased
A backup plan is wise
Magnetic fields can destroy a device
I miss your gentle, miss your gentle
Miss your gentle magnetic storm
There ain’t no backup
decent backup
Excite me with your storm
Whenever you type
You are always so devoted
To the digital life
0-0-1-0 encoded
I miss your gentle, miss your gentle
Miss your gentle magnetic storm
There ain’t no backup
decent backup
Excite me with your storm
I miss your gentle, miss your gentle
Miss your gentle magnetic storm
There ain’t no backup
decent backup
Excite me with your storm
THE ECLIPSE SONG
Hey do you know that the sun was gone for a while
But I Ain’t ever gonna love you
Who covered it up?
Made it dark for a while
But I Ain’t ever gonna love you
Been here before
I closed the door
And I knew it the moment the sun dissapeared
But I Ain’t ever gonna love you
Hey do you know that the sun was gone for a while
But I Ain’t ever gonna love you
Who covered it up?
Made it dark for a while
But I Ain’t ever gonna love you
Been here before
I closed the door
And I knew it the moment the sun dissapeared
But I Ain’t ever gonna love you
And I knew it the moment the sun dissapeared
But I Ain’t ever gonna love you
No I Ain’t ever gonna love you
No I Ain’t ever gonna love you
No I Ain’t ever gonna
BILLIE
Billie tries too hard
But too can be beautiful
The much gets too much
Then too much means the end
Her love goes too strong
But too can be beautiful
When strong gets too weak
Then too weak means the end
Still too much love, love, love
To give up now
To give up now
Her life gets too hard
But too can be beautiful
When hard gets too hard
Then too hard means the end
Her tears taste too salt
But too can be beautiful
When salt gets too salt
Then too salt means the end
Still too much love, love, love
To give up now
To give up now
To give up now
BLACK MARBLE TILES
Black Marble Tiles
Shiny dark eyes
Reflections blooming bright
We can walk for hours
Without knowing where we are
In this labyrinth of thoughts
Things get lost
Lost without a trace
In the middle of the chase
Things get lost
An island can be huge
It won’t matter to refuse
White marble stairs
Leading nowhere
Overwhelmingly unfair
We can talk for hours
Without knowing what we say
In this silly little game
Things get lost
Lost without a trace
In the middle of the chase
Things get lost
An island can be huge
It won’t matter to refuse
Pink marble fire
Am I going insane?
Addicted to the pain
I can search for hours
But the more I do explore
The less I know what for
Things get lost
Lost without a trace
In the middle of the chase
Things get lost
An island can be huge
It won’t matter to refuse
Things get lost
Lost without a trace
In the middle of the chase
Things get lost
An island can be huge
It won’t matter to refuse
STRICTLY OUT OF PHASE
My sequential circuits never last
Eyes without a trace
But that face is strange
It’s playing games
With the ones I mostly love
Strictly out of phase
Phasing through the space
Using the wrong phrase
We are blind
We are colorful
Blossoms open up
No you can not fool
My detection tool
For the ones I mostly love
Strictly out of phase
Phasing through the space
Using the wrong phrase
Strictly out of phase
Phasing through the space
Using the wrong phrase
The wrong phrase
BOHEMIAN LAUGHTER
I’m in love, I’m in love with Mortricia
I’m in love with too many things
I’m in love, I’m in love with a film star
I’m in love underneath her wings
I’m possessed with bohemian laughter
I’m not impressed the morning after
Somewhere deep somewhere deep I make choices
Somewhere deep I keep it clear
Somewhere deep down deep I need boxes
Somewhere deep I know she’s near
I’m possessed with bohemian laughter
I’m not impressed the morning after
I can’t give up, can’t give up, I can’t give up
I can’t give up, I can’t give up, no
I like it faster
In my head, in my head there’s a whisper
In my head her lashes blink
In my bed, in my bed I hear breathing
In our bed we know where to begin
I’m possessed with bohemian laughter
I’m not impressed the morning after
The morning after, the morning after
The morning after
THE PERFECT DOSE
Yesterday the martians came
They weren’t yellow green or grey
They looked a bit like us with a funny nose
Linguistic problems never occurred
Dyslectic creatures, mocking birds
They talked a little strange
A bit like Mo
More tempting than Julianne Moore
More funny than Carry Grant
Yesterday the martians came
The trip had made them a little pale
They came from very far but yet so close
Not closer than the corner shop
But still they were so on top
Saving their own ship with a fire hose
Using the perfect dose
Turning the river dry
YOU LOVE ME TO DEATH
Face your fate
Remove all the lace
You love me to death
But death may love you more
You paint with glaze
But write me without grace
You love me to death
Our love was mortal hope
Oh you love me to death
But death may love you more
You grow in me
And although we disagree
You love me to death
You can not love me more
The best things in life to find
Will not always satisfy
You can love me to death
But I will have to go
Oh you love me to death
But I will have to go
Oh you love me to death
But I will let you go
Oh you love me to death
But I will let you go
Oh you love me to death
But I will let you go
WE ALL FLOAT
The wind is telling stories about us
Writing words in sand and powdered dust
Deserted squares and lonesome trees
The wind revealing stories about us
Fall is telling stories about us
Writing words with leaves and powdered dust
Multicoloured lanes of trees
Mesmerising stories about us
We all float
Clouds of gold
Mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide
We all float
Clouds of gold
Mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide
The river telling stories about us
Writing words in water full of lust
Yellow purple green or blue
Drip by drip revealing things on you
We all float
Clouds of gold
Mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide
We all float
Clouds of gold
Mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide
Mountains make the sun arise
Your rainbow coloured eyes can change the tide
MUSIC BOX
Sin is so much more than poetry
Better start to pray
Crime is sensual
Softly breathing down your neck
Flooded chemistry
A tempting sign is showing us
A glimpse of alchemy
The curtain drops whenever we do try
To react as if we’re one
Poisoned arrow
Softly piercing my heart with poetry
Watching the sunrise
My eyes closing fast
Swallowed by the sea
One music doll stops rotating, breaking
Her song lingers on
Translating
YOU HURT ME
You hurt me (when I’ve got so much more to give)
I must have been blind adoring the blues
in everything lies a small kind of truth
but then again,
just when I thought you were staying for good
you left for no reason is that all you could
you’re still a man
it’s not what I want
it’s not what I need
nothing but lies and way too much heat
just when I thought you were telling the truth
I caught you with her oh you fool
you hurt me when I’ve got so much more to give
We live in denial adoring what’s new
in everything lies a small kind of blues
but then again,
just when I thought you were leaving for good
you stayed for no reason although we were through
you’re still a man
it’s not what I want
it’s not what I need
nothing but lies and way too much heat
just when I thought you were telling the truth
I caught you with her oh you fool
you hurt me when I’ve got so much more to give
NO MORE SWEET MUSIC
I was told about a second chance
Now I know it’s not a rule in a game called romance
I was fooling around
We lie and we cheat, desire indeed
I knew where this would lead us to when I was fooling around
I was fooling around
No more
No more sweet music
Just straight
Tell me straight
(If you you gotta do what you gotta do)
No more
No more sweet music
Just straight
Tell me straight
We know there is no happy end
But still I’m tempted every time we’re fooling around
We are fooling around
Now know there is no second chance
In this last game of romance, too much fooling around
Too much fooling around
No more
No more sweet music
Just straight
Tell me straight
(If you you gotta do what you gotta do)
No more
No more sweet music
Just straight
Tell me straight
(If you you gotta do what you gotta do)
Know there is no second chance
Not in this game called romance
There won’t be a happy end
Know that there wasn’t and won’t be a chance
No more
No more sweet music
Just straight
Tell me straight
(If you you gotta do what you gotta do)
No more
No more sweet music
Just straight
Tell me straight
TOMORROW
It all comes down to winning but defeat is no shame
and why do you lose interest when there’s nothing more to gain
because evil attracts but our love will be a fact
tomorrow
because time is up
and so are we
but still there’s a chance to avoid defeat
tomorrow
just a little more effort do try to succeed
there’s nothing in life that’s impossible to beat
because evil attracts but our love will be a fact
tomorrow
DIRTY LENSES
So you take your chances
Look thru dirty lenses
Unintended consequences
We don’t need your ugly fences
We’ll make our own way out of here
Start a car
Get away
There’s so much you could see today
If we don’t escape
We’ll turn into
Everything we
Hate but tell me do
We even have a chance?
If we don’t escape
The things we do
Won’t make a difference
It’s just me and you
& all our best laid plans
So we’ve run right off the map
Get away from all the traps
Inevitable consequences
Living only present tenses
Only living for the now
HEARTBEAT
I tried to feel your heartbeat but I failed
If I’d be more convincing you would stay
But now it’s time to stop the lies
To go and walk away
You tried to feel my heartbeat but you failed
If you’d be more convincing I would stay
We left a while ago but now
We can no longer fake
We’re moving empty boxes what a waste
We’re moving empty thoughts what a shame
‘Cause this is not a home for us just sheer
Waste of energy my dear
We tried to feel a heartbeat but we failed
If we’d been more convincing we would stay
This house is not a home for us
Just sheer waste of energy my dear
WAKE UP
You’re the needle in my veins
Pleasure mostly ends in pain
Temptation is a part of us
But us is driving me insane
Now it’s time to make decisions
Yes ain’t easy but no’s too safe
Wake up
Don’t tell me what to do
Wake up
Don’t tell me what to say
But there’s one thing you can tell
And that’s how I’d feel
When there’s no more you
We don’t need no competition
In the end this is no game
Deliver me your best and I will give you what is left of me
Excuses are the final drop
Excuses don’t relieve the pain
Solitude ain’t so bad when there’s nothing left for us to gain
MY CHILD
Please come back to me my child
things weren’t meant to be
without tears we cry
even though we new
it did strike
but this ain’t no dream
no this is life
and all the colors fade leaving nothing more
than a black and white shade on an empty
shore/sure a part is gone
and sure we do long
but black and white is so much more than nothing at all
Please come back to me my child
yes we do control a lot
way too much
overwhelmed by disbelieve
left in shock
still our disbelieve is the remaining lock
GINGER
All the things you said to me last night
they closed my eyes
instead of opening my mind
and maybe talking less and doing more
will bring us back to where we lived before
As ginger sweet and spicy we are both
unable to balm, unable to choke
and even when our energy is low
we can go back to where we lived before
ANTARTICA
All I have
Is strictly forbidden
And all I have
Is strictly insane
We know what we want
But that’s not always good for us
Insanity
Is not always despair
All I have means nothing to me
And all I give, is so much more
When nothing is left
There’s nothing to loose
When there’s nothing to loose, there is peace of the mind
We all fall into oblivion
And history slowly fades
What’s done doesn’t matter
What matter’s not done
All we have
Belongs to no one
All I have means nothing to me
And all I give, is so much more
When nothing is left
There’s nothing to loose
When there’s nothing to loose, there is peace of the mind
MY AUTUMNS DONE COME
Kiss all the pretty ones goodbye
Give everyone a penny that cries
You can throw all my tranquil pills away
Let my blood pressure go on it’s way
Cause my autumn’s done come
My autumn’s done come
Done come
Let those “I don’t care” days begin
I’m tired of holding my stomach in
No more slinky folk dollars for me
I’ll take Sears & Roebuck dollars gladly
Cause my autumn’s done come
My autumn’s done come
Done come
Bring me water short and Scotch tall
A big long black cigar, and that ain’t all
Hang me a hammock between two big trees
And leave me alone, damned! Let me do as I please
Cause my autumn’s done come
My autumn’s done come
Yeah, done come
THE LAST THING I NEED IS YOU
Feel the need to wonder inside
Fulfill your basic needs deep inside
We wander by the lake of tears
And smell the odor of our fear inside, deep inside
All these creepy things crawling deep inside
Feel the urge to grow inside
Our world is covered with clouds deep inside
We wander by our ocean of tears
And try to hide our frozen fear inside, deep inside
All these creepy things crawling deep inside
SOMETIMES
Why don’t you ever get the point
You’re much too slow for me
Why don’t we ever flip our coin
Reliability
Some like it a lot
Just give a little to me
That’s why I sing this song
They call us crazy early birds
Too early never hurts
Warmth is not as dangerous as
As dangerous as those words
Some like it a lot
Just give a little to me
That’s why I sing this song
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing this song
Sometimes
It takes us way too long
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing out of key
Winter never gets me down
It’s just a feeling
Feeling fine
To care for you or not to care
A god damned thin thin line
Some like it a lot
Just give a little to me
That’s why I sing this song
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing this song
Sometimes
It takes us way too long
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing out of key
We’ve got to sing
Why don’t you ever get the point
You’re much too slow for me
Why don’t we ever flip our coin
Probably a lack of reliability
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing this song
Sometimes
It takes us way too long
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing out of key
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing this song
Sometimes
It takes us way too long
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing out of key
We’ve got to sing this song
Sometimes
We’ve got to sing this song
Sometimes
It takes us way too long
ONE
You’re in charge
You always were
There’s no denying
Fire burns
I took a lot
But now I’m gonna give
Back to you
Whatever I got
Cause we are one
And we’ll always be
You were born first
Forever connected to me
Connected to me
It’s not always how you want it to be
We had no choice, oh desperately
I had to leave
Now I’m coming back
We had to see
You’re white and I’m black
Cause we are one
And we’ll always be
You were born first
Forever connected to me
Connected to me
Forever connected to me
Cause we are one
And we’ll always be
You were born first
Forever connected to me
Forever connected to me
Forever connected to one
And we’ll always be
You were born first
Forever connected to me
Forever connected to me
Forever connected to me
Forever connected to me
Forever connected to
Me
HUMAN INTEREST
You say this,you say that
My better no way you’re sad
Leave me alone right now
I used to be in love with this
Now I’m trying to get rid of all this human interest
Don’t you dare to point your finger at me
Look at yourself
I’m not the one you want me to be
Look at yourself
Some say no, some say yes
Less or more or more or less
Leave me alone right now
I used to be adored each day
Now it’s time for me to pay
The dreadful price of success
Don’t you dare to point your finger at me
Look at yourself
I’m not the one you want me to be
Look at yourself
Some say no, some say yes
Don’t you dare to point your finger at me
Look at yourself
I’m not the one you want me to be
Look at yourself
Don’t you dare to point your finger at me
Look at yourself
I’m not the one you want me to be
Look at yourself
NIRVANA BLUE
I just jumped out in the open
Without knowing if my parachute would save me
It’s quiet and peaceful in this emotional nirvana blue
Cause taking off was so easy
But landing very rough
No tears, no smile
Not even the urge to cry
I just jumped out in the open
Without knowing if my parachute would save me
It’s quiet and peaceful in this emotional nirvana blue
Your portrait is fading
Raw canvas remaining
As a white page in my soul
Cause taking off was so easy
But landing very rough
No tears, no smile
Not even the urge to cry
Your portrait is fading
Raw canvas remaining
As a white page in my soul
I just jumped out in the open
Without knowing if my parachute would save me
It’s quiet and peaceful in this emotional nirvana blue
Cause taking off was so easy
But landing very rough
No tears, no smile
Not even the urge to cry
I just jumped out in the open
I just jumped out in the open
I just jumped out in the open
I just jumped out in the open
I just jumped out in the open
I just jumped out in the open
I just jumped out in the open
I just jumped out in the open
THE WORLD IS MINE
Inhale the joy
Inhale the fun
Now it’s time for me to get on top
Of the world
Inhale the music and the warmth
The crowd is ready to bring me to the top
Of the world
‘Cause the world is mine
I won’t stop this time
Cause the world is mine
And I’m feeling so divine
I’m part of this illusive show
Time for me to get on stage
Lights fade
Tomorrow you’ll be at my feet
Saturated senses set me free
It’s all I need
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
I won’t stop this time
I won’t stop this time
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
And I’m feeling so divine
Because the world is mine
I won’t stop this time
The world, the world is mine
I won’t stop this time
Oh no
Oh no
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
I won’t stop this time
I won’t stop this time
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
And I’m feeling so divine
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
I won’t stop this time
I won’t stop this time
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
And I’m feeling so divine
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
I won’t stop this time
I won’t stop this time
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
And I’m feeling so divine
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
I won’t stop this time
I won’t stop this time
‘Cause the world is mine
The world, the world is mine
And I’m feeling so divine
JACKIE'S DELIRIUM
Jackie, Jackie Cane is going insane
Who’s going insane?
Jackie, Jackie Cane
Who’s going insane?
It’s Jackie, Jackie Cane
SAD SONG
Now it’s time to move to the next level
Sore wet eyes that look at the devil
Tell me please that it’s time to leave
On the train, I lost my intelligence
Found my love with good intentions
But still it’s time to leave
I recorded the sound of your heart
I recorded the sound of your eyes
And I converted them into this sad song
That modulated these mysterious lights
Synchronized love expectations
Pure delight these love creations
Tell me please that it’s time to leave
Ain’t it fun our fun-fair behavior
All these real and [?] flavors
Tell me please that it’s time to me
I recorded the sound of your heart
I recorded the sound of your eyes
And I converted them into this sad song
That modulated these mysterious lights
DAY AFTER DAY
She lives in a house
that reflects her state of mind,mind
Organised chaos
in this labyrinth she hides,hides
She got locked up years ago
all these voices whisper
all these voices whisper
whisper and whisper
and day after day
Marinated in wine and tobacco
all these voices whisper
all these voices whisper and
day after day
after day
Pink fluffy dinosaurs
are almost back in town,town
Pulling all the strings
that will finally bring her down,down
She got locked up years ago
all these voices whisper
all these voices whisper
whisper and whisper
and day after day
Marinated in wine and tobacco
all these voices whisper
all these voices whisper and
day after day
after day
SHAMPOO
You’re the shampoo in my eyes
You are the salt in my wounds
A necessity in life
But always in the wrong place
You’re the thorn in my side
You ache and ache and ache
Still I can’t live without
You will be in me
You’re the warmth and the ice
Not knowing what to do
Should you laugh or should you cry
You lead me to the wrong place
You’re the thorn in my side
You ache and ache and ache
Still I can’t live without
You will be in me
OTHERS DELIGHT
Doors lit up bright
Others delight
Drift of to another white
Why are you out of sight?
Knew you would leave
Your goal is more important than my grief
I used to love what I do
You left and took my passion with you
Where did I go wrong?
You took the air out of my lungs
Slowly losing my pass
My mind and heart are out of phase
Where did I go wrong?
I’m hearing a gong announcing our final round
It doesn’t matter who wins
Or even who will begin to see that you and I are one
Where did I go wrong?
I’m hearing a gong announcing our final round
It doesn’t matter who wins
Or even who will begin to see that you and I are one
OPIUM
(Why)
I wonder why you sigh
(There’s no reason)
There’s no reason for you to cry
(Don’t)
Don’t believe your own lies
(There’s no reason)
There’s no reason for you to sigh
(Music)
Music is opium for free
Try a little
try to consume me
Music is Prozac for free
Don’t get stuck in greed
Why
Why don’t you dare to speak?
(Silence)
Silence will tighten our needs
(Happy)
Happiness is not for me
(Silence)
Silence will tighten our needs
(Music)
Music is opium for free
Try a little
try to consume me
Music is Prozac for free
Don’t get stuck in greed
(Music)
(Silence)
(Happy)
(Don’t)
(Music)
(Silence)
(Happy)
(There’s no reason)
THE LAST SUPPER
Park Guèll makes you even more beautiful
As if you were created by Gaudi the master himself
‘Cause you consist of shattered thoughts
They never seem to bore even if they to turn you into hell
This last supper makes you even more beautiful
As if you were created by the master himself
‘Cause you consist of imploding energy
Let me save you from your unbearable hell
Hell, hell, hell
From your hell
We can’t hide from our destiny
This chain is like an inherited spell
That consumes all my precious energy
That pulls me through wherever you fell
Fell, fell, fell, fell
You just fell
THE KISS
Some say because it’s over
We should be said but that’s not true
’cause death may seem something nasty
But it belongs to me and you
Don’t try to avoid your destiny
Accept this kiss with dignity
In this embrace you’ll find relief
Get rid of all your grief
Some say because it’s over we should be…
…free…
AUTOHARP
You are my auto harp
I push every button on your body
I push the A minor, the E flat, the F major
And especially the C sharp 7
You are my auto harp
I play every string in your mind
And even when I play them very loud
They keep in tune
But how will they sound soon?
You are my auto harp
I bought you in a pawnshop in Virginia
You were cheap but in good condition
Longing for someone to take you on an exotic trip
You are my auto harp
I carried you all over the world
In my hard case called the heart
You’re the reason for my blood to keep running
Through my veins every album again
MAD ABOUT YOU
Feel the vibe,
Feel the terror,
Feel the pain,
It’s driving me insane.
I can’t fake,
For God’s sake why am I driving in the wrong lane
Trouble is my middle name.
But in the end I’m not too bad
Can someone tell me if it’s wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you,
Mad
Are you the fishy wine that will give me a headache in the morning
Or just a dark blue land mine that explode without a decent warning.
Give me all your true hate and I’ll translate it in our bed,
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you,
Mad
Trouble is your middle name.
But at the end you’re not too bad
Can someone tell me if it’s wrong to be so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Give me all your true hate and I’ll translate it in our bed,
Into never seen passion, never seen passion
That is why I am so mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
Mad about you
WAVES
These gigantic waves just take me
To an unknown destination
Under the moonlight
Feel free to join me on my trip
The tide will take us far
Beyond midnight
Stars will guide us through this
Exotic white
Stars won’t be able to fool the knowledge
Of the magic dice
This sea breeze is refreshing
While the dolphins sing about
These psychedelic moods
These waves keep you going
‘Till you finally forget
Your original roots
Stars will guide us through this
Exotic white
Stars won’t be able to fool the knowledge
Of the magic dice
Wave after wave
JACKIE CANE
Jackie cane was everybody’s sugar
She gave it all wherever it took her
They used her up before the sell-by date
To be so sweet was her only mistake
The only flower in a concrete garden
Destined to be the rock that wouldn’t harden
Jackie cane was everybody’s sugar
She’d melt away if only she could of
Taken for granted
Abused and drained
They ran her dry and
Then it never rained
She was the queen
Of the 25th hour
They looked so sweet
But the after-taste was sour
Salty days for Jackie Cane
THE MAGNIFICENT TREE
Bought this guitar
At a shop called mars
But on the way back home
Strange things happened in my car
Started to play
All by itself
Creatures jumped from
The highest shelf
Until I touched string 12
This magnificent tree
Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves
ITS strength was divine
Synthesised gnomes
Penetrated this godly zone
Summer was thrown off
It’s royal throne
This magnificent tree
Appeared in my mind
Even without leaves
It’s strength was divine
VINEGAR & SALT
I…like the things that you hate
And you…hate the things that I like
But it hurts
Honesty’s your church
But sometimes
It’s better to lie
I…am the vinegar and salt
And you…are the oil that dissolves
My frustration
Honesty’s limitation
But sometimes
It’s better to lie
I am the vinegar and salt
And you are the oil that dissolves my frustrations
Limitations
But sometimes…
I don’t dare to ask why
FROSTED FLAKE WOOD
Johnny went to frosted flake
To go for a walk in the frozen wood
He bumped into a mushroom
That sold his body for some warm food
“Eat me my friend, you’ll be the leader of the band”
Johnny’s hand reached out
Luckily there was Mr Doubt
Mr Doubt the old man was the surveyor
Of frosted flake wood
He tried to sell hesitation wherever he could
“Buy some doubt”
Feel free he yelled loud
“Friends it won’t hurt”
Luckily there was big bird
For God’s sake run away
Or it won’t be your lucky day
Leave this forest behind
This ain’t a place for human kind
EVERYTIME WE LIVE TOGETHER WE DIE A BIT MORE
Everybody wants one
Everybody’s got one
Everybody
Everybody wants to be loved
Everybody wants one
Everybody’s got one
Everybody
Everybody wants to be loved
Is it you who’s going to guide me
Through this labyrinth of poems
Is it you that’s going to make me
Gonna make me feel home
And every time we live together
We just die a bit more
So why don’t we just stop
Oh let’s just stop to adore
Why
Is it so hard
To make the right choice
OUT OF SIGHT
Tell me why
Do you always forgive the things I do to you
You’re too good
Or am I not too bad
Those six years
Were the best that ever happened to me and you
No regrets after all this fear
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
So tell me why
I can’t find any satisfaction somewhere else
Not good enough
Or am I way too bad
Cause those six years
I consumed all your energy
And I didn’t replace
Sad enough
I can’t give you what you need
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
Six years
Such a long time
I can’t give you what you need
Six years
Such a long time
Something special between you and me
You and me
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
We’ll always be best friends
Something between you and me
PINK FLUFFY DINOSAURS
Electro screens of light
And poppy-colored brights
I’m floating on air
Pink fluffy dinosaurs
Tremendously hardcore
I’m floating again
This fake fir place
Won’t warm my soul nor face
But still I’m floating
Again
Hypnosis releases brakes
Make you do things you usually fake
It makes you float
Again
Those bitten by the wild
Will live on
But those who used to bite
Have gone
Golden mirror on the wall
Will make our lives less dull
We’ll be floating through the day
All our money’s almost gone
But still we live the life we want
We are floating through the day
Those bitten by the wild
Will live on
But those who used to bite
Have gone
L'ODEUR ANIMALE
Feel the need to wonder inside
Fulfill your basic needs deep inside
We wander by the lake of tears
And smell the odor of our fear inside, deep inside
All these creepy things crawling deep inside
Feel the urge to grow inside
Our world is covered with clouds deep inside
We wander by our ocean of tears
And try to hide our frozen fear inside, deep inside
All these creepy things crawling deep inside
BATTERSEA
Battersea how it is
It’s over forget
Memories full of chocolate
I’ve got to get over it forget
Your world is different than mine
I’ve got to get over I’ve got to forget
And “sgurd” is the one I don’t like
I’m afraid of him I’ve got to forget
Knocking on the blue water
It’s over forget
Praline and chocolate ice
Got to get over, forget
Your world doesn’t match with mine
I’ve got to get over I’ve got to forget
And “sgurd” rules your friend’s life
I’m afraid of him I’ve got to forget
ONE WAY RIDE
Concentrate, you’re on the middle
Of this one way ride
In the center lays the key
To get back off to a while
If you can’t solve this riddle
I’m afraid you’ll have to stay
In the middle
Of underestimated betrayal
See them point in your direction
See the indifference in their eyes
Just living in oblivion
Struggling with too many wires
So you’ve got to solve this riddle
Other wise you won’t get back
So if I were you
I would concentrate on the morbid one way track
DICTIONARY
Won’t you be my dictionary
Won’t you translate fun
Into something necessary
Inter uni sun
Won’t you be my dictionary
Can’t I be very necessary
Inter uni fun
Comes back
Satellites they mix you up
And hypnotise you with the sound
Reproducing would fuck you up
And make you forget what you found
Won’t you be my dictionary
Can’t I be very necessary
Inter uni fun
Comes back
Inter uni fun
Comes back
Inter uni fun
Comes back

ELECTRO SHOCK FADERS
Long black dress
Hawaiian shirt
Kicking pair of trainers
Electro shock faders
Guiding your voice through your veins
Sick of all this working
Longing for a sinking

Everything’s a blur
Do you know what I mean

OUT OF TUNE
Overwhelming as they are
Breeding hope by counting stars
Merge the bitterness the pain
Which I’m sure
You can explain again
One gets hurt when she feels small
(And she’s longing for some peace)
Being the center of it all
(Slow attack but fast release)
Hear the difference in vain
Out of tune but just not quite the same
Overwhelming as they are
(With their mystifying glow)
Breeding hope by counting stars
(As they hunger for the show)
Hear the difference in vain
Out of tune but just not quite the same
THIS STRANGE EFFECT
You’ve got this strange effect on me
And I like it
You make my world in white
You make my darkness bright, oh yes
You’ve got this strange effect on me
And I like it, and I like it
And I like the way you kiss me
Don’t know if I should
But this feeling it’s love and I know it
That’s why I feel good
You make my world in white
You make my darkness bright, oh yes
You’ve got this strange effect on me
And I like it, and I like it
RENAISSANCE AFFAIR
Sweet relief calms me down
Makes me drown
Lost and found
Neighbours complain
Sheets are stained
Hotel shower
The best around
Spacing from Paris to New York
Silver sunglasses
Silver phone
Connect us to someone
Who doesn’t know
About these feelings we can’t control
People they want us to fall down
But we won’t ever
Touch the ground
‘Cause we’re perfectly balanced
We’ll float around
‘Til noone is near
Do you hear this sound
Spacing from Paris to New York
Silver sunglasses
Silver phone
Connect us to someone
Who doesn’t know
About these feelings we can’t control
This strange feeling captures us
It generates this huge fuzz
I miss you all the time I must face
I miss your touch and your embrace

Longing for winter
Longing for cold
Bikeride through the snow
Blinded by darkness
Summer flows to the cemetery slow
Pink versus black
Black versus magenta
This picture of you
Just melts in my agenda
While seasons change you know
Yes, the season change you know
With the flow
Days just shorten
Days just glow
This fire keeps us warm
While this storm will uncover
Our secret place called
The cemetary dawn
Pink versus black
Black versus magenta
This picture of you
Just melts in my agenda
While seasons change you know
Yes, season change you know

With the flow
(Look down)
(Look up)
(Look right)
(You’re camouflaged by a wall of blue)
(And turn the world magenta…)

This shower will beam us to
A blue changing too yellow scenery
Bus noises all day long
They make you whisper fragile words
Losing energy
And do we belong here
You’ve got this Dave Berry effect on me
Don’t worry
This formula one race
Won’t change our space station
Apollo in Germany
You frightened me to death when you fell out of your bed
A bladder can hurt so much
Especially with a Berlin neon hospital touch
And do we belong here

Won’t change our space station

That I’m falling, I’m falling
Could you be the rock

Aunque las cosas no le van demasiado bien
Separado de ella por las quatros años
Ve a sus hijos los fines de semana de cada mes why quince dias en vacaciones.
Pero el sólo no consigue encontrar a la mujer de su vida
Nunca le preocupa lo que puede pasarle a su hijo

Saw her first a few months ago

Saw her in the mirror
She has a stupid name
Maybe I’m too honest
Friendly in an arrogant way

Saw her in the mirror
She has a stupid name

2006
Hooverphonic Singles 96-06
Released on 21 November 2006, this album is a collection of all the singles that came from albums up to 2006 and it marked an end to the band’s first contract with Sony BMG Music Entertainment (Belgium). A CD contained all the singles, a DVD contained all the relevant music videos including a full hour and a half concert performed at the Ancienne Belgique in 2005.
Singles
Since the above collection of singles 15 years have passed, so below I’ve added to that. Hooverphonic release roughly four singles per album, here I’ve included at least two from each.
2012 was one of the best years for Hooverphonic. They set their music to an orchestra and the album went directly to No1 in Belgium. It was followed by extensive touring around Belgium playing to sold out houses. At the end of all that they cemented their work so far by combining their nine albums into one boxed set album called ‘Collected’.

Hooverphonic Collected

2012 was one of the best years for Hooverphonic. They set their music to an orchestra and the album went directly to No1 in Belgium. It was followed by extensive touring around Belgium playing to sold out houses. At the end of all that they cemented their work so far by combining their nine albums into one boxed set album called ‘Collected’.

Released on 1 April 2013 by Sony Music Entertainment Belgium. This boxed set comes on ten CDs and is a compilation of all nine albums to date; 122 songs, 7 hours and 37 minutes of music.
It’s targeted at those who come across the band for the first time or for new fans that want a quick collection. Therefore there’s nothing new included for existing fans, no remixed tracks or extras; just the music for a bargain price (around 30 euros).
2018
Top 40 – Hooverphonic
Released 18 October 2018 and not available in the UK. This album comes on two CDs. As usual with Hooverphonic always wanting to give value for money there are 43 popular songs on this Top 40 album. However, These ‘popular’ hits are already available on other collections and what is always notably missing is the rarer stuff like b-sides and covers of other artists, such as Kaleidoscope, Femme Fatale, Cry, The Perfect Dose, and Satin Doll.
