When I Leave
03:51
|
|||
When I was on top of the world
I knew it would not last
’Cause the wheels kept turning
All is thrown into the past
When I go I will do
All the things I always wanted to do
I will not look back
When I start anew
I will let it all go
And let it all run loose
There is no path traveler
Just the marks of our shoes
When I leave,
When I leave
I leave it all behind
When I was lost in dead end streets
Strangers sang in cahoots with me
Saying they’d love me most
When I deserve it least
I told them I do not believe
They said: Don’t mind,
It takes time to achieve
The right frame of mind
To let it all go
And let it all run loose
There is no path traveler
Just the marks of our shoes
When I leave,
When I leave
I leave it all behind

Only A Song

Only A Song
Oh, I know you’ve been here for so long
It almost felt like home
Home is always the hardest thing
To leave behind when you go
You go easy, oh yes you do
A rollercoaster kind of a mindset
So far got you through
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting for so long
Now I thought maybe I try and reach
Out for you with a song
I’ve been wondering
On and on and on
About what happened
And where have you gone?
Say don’t you miss the feeling
The feeling we once shared
How we would easily roll with the punches
’Cause truly we didn’t care
Oh I do
Yes I do
Always easily falling to pieces
Over all that reminds of you
I’ve been wondering
On and on and on
About what happened
And where did we go wrong?
I’ve been waiting
I’ve been waiting for so long
Now I thought maybe I try and reach
Out for you with a song
And maybe you’d sing along
Just like nothing was wrong
’Cause it’s only a song,
A song…

High On You

High On You
I’m high on you
High on you
I believe, I believe
I’m high on you
To fly with you
It’s all I need
All I need
I got your smell on me
I’m lighter than I’ve ever been
I can’t believe you will be by my side
I can hardly breathe
You set fire to me
I feel weak at the knees
All I want is to be with you
Tell me this is real
Is it real?
Blind Spot

Blind Spot On The Bright Side Of Life
I spent a lazy day
Out in the sun
There was nothing on my mind
And nothing needed to be done
I wished I had a smoke
But then just bought a new pack of chewing gum
Some street band played a song
I vaguely knew
The singer said
For you for you, it’s all for you
And then he’d look down sadly
Like I guess all singers are supposed to do
Oh, yeah it’s been a long, long time
Since I last felt that light
I'm fine, I just do nothing
But watch the world pass me by
Here in this blind spot
On the bright side of life
There are new houses everywhere
They all look the same
They boast their owners wish
To make a fast buck unashamed
I wonder about disfigurement
And how we’re ever going to explain
Oh, yeah
We had it all my friend
It was in our hands
To make it something beautiful
We chose to never mind instead,
No war, no devastation, no hunger
Speaks in our defence
Stuffed beasts and drunken saviours
Are hanging around here
We all mapped out the same strategy
To disappear
This world of greed and power
Does not speak for me
I’ll rather pick some flowers
To show you how I feel
I'll join this roller coaster ride without regret
I never once look back
You show me where to look instead
Working hard and harder
At being hardest to forget

Time & Space
03:40
|
|||
Time & Space
All that longing, all the crying
All the hope that keeps dying
You’re shaking, you’re out of control,
It takes possession over heart and soul
All that aching, all the yearning
You’re on fire, you’re burning,
With desire that you cannot still
Full of dreams that stay unfulfilled
I know you know no way to give it up
I know you want it to stop
You want it to just not
Ruin your world and let it all fall apart
I know it’s breaking your heart
It feels like you’re split in two
There’s all that you want
But just can’t do
Just like a shadow it keeps haunting you
It always follows, no matter what you do
You think it’s crazy, try to see it through
What you wish for and what it means to you
You don’t eat much and you hardly sleep
You grow weaker from week to week
There are blackouts, words you can’t recall
And the feeling that you just fall and fall
Through time and space, but strangely leave no trace

Running To You My Love
04:11
|

Running To You My Love
I'll cross mountains, rivers and valleys
I will sleep right under the stars
I'll avoid people and cities
Try to stay away from the war
When I come running to you my love
With raindrops falling from the clouds above
I'll be humming a song for us
When I come running to you my love
I keep your letter secure in my pocket
To know it's there makes me feel safe out here
Just to think that I'll be a father
Helps the evil I saw disappear
When I come running to you my love
With raindrops falling from the clouds above
I'll be humming a song for us
When I come running to you my love
Last night an angel spoke to me
She said you're home and you wait for me
I told her I would give my life
To just see you once and hold our child

Not At All
04:21
|
|||
Not At All
No, we’re not very sad
And maybe even less
Disappointed
’Cause there has always been
Something ahead
Of everything that we’ve spoiled and
We know this is not the end
This is not the end
We won’t fall
We won’t be broken
No, not at all
Our smell is fading off the sheets
Everything is the same
Everything is okay
Somehow
There’s not much to say
We think there’s no doubt
That this is the perfect time
To leave it all right now
Right now
We won’t fall
And we won’t be broken
No, not at all

Sipping on a highball
Feeling sweaty
Sore feet, headache, lids heavy
Bass Drum, Bass Drum, goes steady
Whenever you wanna leave
I’m ready
Yeah
I need a breath of fresh air
Just need a breath of fresh air
I pod, I store, I message
I fuck, I eat, I get it
If that's what you seek
Here you have it
Served bit by bit
No rackets
Yeah
All want their share
All get theirs yeah
Hell, yeah
Have a look around
See how they ripped and raped this town
Every which way you look you see the traces
Money is cool,
´Cause money makes you rich
All you gotta do is win that pitch
Don’t you know that we all gonna make it?
Yeah, we all get there
SUV, asshole, inflation
Dumbness defies equations
Busyness business success
Ever growing market happiness
Oh, yeah
All want their share
All get theirs yeah
Yeah, it's party party
Party party
If the ship goes down
We still party
Open end yeah
All weekend
Then back to a bullshit job existence
Yeah
All want their share
All get theirs yeah
Hell, yeah
Come along man
You look as good
As anyone can
The truth is everyone can't be mistaken
Fake facts
Pulled out of a hat
Rule the world
Place your bet
Just like a funny feeling that can't be shaken
And soon the news will break
Shake baby shake
Shake baby shake
A la-la-la-la leg
Big buck, big balls, big apple
London, falls, un-rebelled
Recall, refill, refall
To have and have not
But want it all
Oh, yeah
All want their share
All get theirs yeah
From bugaboo, who is who, Babyccino
To Warcraft shooter game casinos
Trophy Girls, snap chats, pussy cats
Save the world dot com chit chat
Oh, yeah
All want their share
All get theirs yeah
Hell, yeah
Have a look around
See how they ripped and raped this town
Every which way you look you see the traces
Money is cool,
´Cause money makes you rich
All you gotta do is win that pitch
Don’t you know that we all gonna make it?

Postcard Of Rome
03:51
|
|||
There’s a postcard of Rome
Pinned to the fridge
That holds a can of Coke
And a half-eaten sandwich
The shades are drawn
She slept in late
There’s a song on the radio
That sounds like fake
She knows she is trapped
In a world in between
She needs to find a way back
Eventually
She crosses the room
To fix a drink
Among the pile of dishes
That floods the sink
How to hold on
Stay strong?
How to keep on keeping on?
When all feels wrong
And nothing is true
When there is nowhere you belong to?
At 2:38
She’s already late
For the waitress job
At the same sad Italian place
She’s been writing on a book
Some eight years now
It’s like she still couldn’t say
What the plot is about
There’s the coming and going
Of love and men
Both past and future
Remain open-ends
On pages and pages
No one will ever read
The stories of a life
Lived secretly

The Load
03:05
|
|||
Stay calm, breathe in and out
Watch your step, keep your head down
Hungry sirens seeking their fire
Everything gets drier and drier
All this comes for a reason
Could you please stop pleading?
Now don’t get personal, I think we should try
To keep it civil all things despite
I never liked you, I think you lack style
You always hated me, but I don’t mind
From your point of view, I guess I got issues too
But oh
Say isn’t it so?
That this is a load
Out of control
No matter what you’ve been told
Or how this unfolds
This is a load
Out of control
You say that’s market, market learns by itself
And then you put your shit on the shelf
And all the promo work is pretty tight
Yeah, all in all you feel alright
Down south the earth is burning
Up north a flood is churning

Susanne

Susanne
When we were lovers
Back then
Each step we took
Happenstance
We were so young and innocent
Without a clue how this would end
We stood no chance
Against chance
Oh, Susanne
Would life ever feel like this again?
Yeah back when
Everything always just began
Do you remember our plans?
Nothing would ever come of them
Oh, Susanne
How I loved to watch you dance
The world was not enough
It sure was made for us
Always going faster, further and
Never ever stop
And never give up
No, never give up
Never stand still
No matter what
Susanne
When I close my eyes
There you stand
The book of dead names in your hands
And a Walkman that played Townes Van Zandt
End to end
With the sound full blast in the cans
The world was not enough
All future made for us
Always going faster, further and
Never ever stop
And never give up
No, never give up
Never be like them
No matter what

Invisible
03:36
|
|||
Oh yeah,
I’ll be invisible
Live a life forgivable
Hide in plain sight
Doing only mine
Oh, yeah
I know you give it all
Yeah, you wanna live it all
Anywhere you’re going
Anywhere it’s showing
I feel invincible
Forgive the unforgiveable
With a turn of my head
I’m learning to forget
Remember when we started out
We truly thought the world was ours
No one could talk us out of breaking the rules
And yes, I know that you’ve been only joking
You never knew my heart was broken
It’s true I too
Was laughing like a fool
Oh, yeah
I’ve been here too long
I stayed though it felt all wrong
Nothing’s gonna change
As long as I’m staying
I know you give it all
You forgive the unforgiveable
There’s nothing you charge
For being who you are
I’ll be untouchable
Un-begrudge-able
Following the moonlight
Rising with the tide
