That Night
03:22
|
|||
|
Dear, I ain’t regretting
I’d take another ride with you if you let me
Fear we’ll be forgetting
Who we are supposed to be
Don’t listen to me
Don’t give me another chance to believe
chorus:
End of the season, I was losing my hair
You looked so fine
End of the reason, I was losing my head
You looked so fine
But that night in the shade ended much too soon
I thought this flower could grow
Now I hear it loud and clear: I can’t be this naive
Memories feed my desire but I know
That this time we’re meant to leave each other
chorus
I’ve got a fever, I’m dying alone
At night I shiver thinking about you
But when I call on the phone
Don’t listen to me
Don’t give me another chance to be
Your lover to cover with kisses and lies
For I’d suffocate
chorus

Yellow House
04:28
|
|||
|
We gave it to you, boy
A safe place where you do not make mistakes
And still you are a boy
You wanna be free but you don’t know what it takes
You’ve been looking for the sun in the night time
chorus:
Life is good in the Yellow House
Free Wi-Fi connection
Life is good in the Yellow House
Zero chance of infection
In The Yellow House
Connection
In The Yellow House
We built it for you, boy
We worked so hard so we could live together
Costitutionally, boy
We feed you and we wanna see you thrive in here forever
Will you find a better place? We know you won’t
chorus
Leave behind imperfection
Get a well-being injection
You shall be in subjection
To the Yellow House
Subjection
To The Yellow House

Colombian Lady
04:23
|
|||
|
You are the kind of woman who could have me at her feet
You are the woman that I was meant to meet
A special feeling I can’t explain
I met you on a summer day with a winter wind within
My heart was desperately in need of someone to get in
I told you I was taken yet you made me feel so good
That now I could give up everything, anything to stay with you
chorus:
Colombian Lady, I hate to say goodbye
But the one I should adore I cannot leave alone
Colmbian Lady, please don’t, please don’t cry
I’d really like to stay some more but she’s waiting for me
Back home, back home
It’s been a lonely season and I feel a little scared
My hometown is a prison, my girl was not prepared
For me to tell her and disappear
But you’re my destination, the bliss I was assigned
Or maybe you were born from my inspiration
And don’t exist outside my mind
Still I hope I’ll see your eyes again
‘cause your kisses marked a permanent
A permanent scar in my brain
chorus
So I’ve got to think about it twice
I know decisions have a price
I couldn’t just unwind
And leave my dream behind
Unsigned
Still, what I feel I can’t deny
A broken love just has to die
It took so long to see
She wasn’t right for me
But now I’m free, I am free
Colombian lady, I’m sailing back to you
I wish we could be together every day and night
Colombian Lady, you know my love is true
I feel like I could stay forever
If you let me into your life tonight

Hanging On To No One
04:03
|
|||
|
refrain:
Set controls for re-entry programme
Seek your yesterday
Hanging on to no one
You know you can’t stay
Set controls for re-entry programme
Seek your yesterday
Hanging on to no one
You know you can’t stay,
You know you can’t stay
I remember running down a scree
I remember swimming in the cold open sea
You’re the girl I loved and love no more
I’m standing on the shore
I need a warmer feeling
I know I cant’ stand you dealing
With a thing you shouldn’t know
chorus:
I’m gonna hurt you so deep inside
Love and lies are through
I can’t be by your side
refrain
Now I’m coming back with memories
Now I’m coming back but let me do just what I please
You can chart a course but I’ll take the wheel
I need to keep it real
Tell me, are your worlds colliding?
Can’t you see that you’re still hiding
From the things that you should know?
chorus:
I’m gonna hurt you so fucking bad
Love and lies are through
I can’t sleep in your bed
Anymore
refrain

Like Words
04:54
|
|||
|
Petrified, we stand still like stones
Still, until we break like bones
Some will go into extinction
Some will follow evolution
Like words
Up is down and after is before
And the stars don’t mean “stars” anymore
Are we going nuts? Relapsing?
Every certainty is collapsing
Like words, like words, like words, like words
Growing takes ages
Falling takes hours
chorus:
A mistake has been made
Lots of people die of panic
It’s not so easy now to make it fade
So please, remember
Our nature is dynamic
All that time spent learning something about them
And we didn’t know it all just made no sense
We’ve been told they bring extinction
But they foster evolution
Like words, like words, like words, like words
Confusing theories
Hiding discoveries
chorus
Yes it is
No matter what they say about it
We survived way past the absurd
And we’re glad we had to change
Like words

Someone Else
02:34
|
|||
|
Now you say you wanna be mine,
You wanna be mine
But you can’t be mine
I can’t deny
You know I spent the night with someone else
Oh yes I did ‘cause I like the way she moves
I love the way she is and the way she improves me
It’s not that I don’t miss you
It’s not that I won’t kiss you
Las night I just needed to have fun with someone else
And she said she wanted to be mine,
She wanted to be mine
But she couldn’t be mine
I couldn’t deny
I wanted to live my life with someone else,
And that is you
So now we’re three and we are feeling so blue
Falling down from heaven without parachute
The hardest impact
I wonder if we’re still intact
Now we all need to believe in something else,
Don’t we?
Yet we still say “Can you be mine?
Will you be mine?”
You could be mine though I can’t deny
I’d like to spend the night with you
And someone else too

Dreams
03:26
|
|||
|
You went north, got your solitude
Didn’t like it, no, but it needed to be pursued
You’re not the book you read
Do you know what she said?
She’s still calling for you
When you came home
She didn’t think you’d say goodbye
She’s there, waiting for you
She thinks she couldn’t live with another guy
But she’s wrong
You were there and she was too
Every day of your life she was looking up to you
You could just have stayed
She hates you and the role you played
Now you’ve left a part of your soul
Behind your back
And you take another lonely train
She’ll be crying over you
As you burn the stack
Of dreams that turned to chains
They turned to chains
Now she’s got to find another guy,
But she’s...
She’s still calling for you
When you came home
She didn’t think you’d say goodbye
She’s there, waiting for you
She thinks she couldn’t live with another guy
But she’s wrong

Shy Peacock
05:07
|

|
Unknown internal error
System ain’t responding anymore
Unknown internal error
System ain’t responding anymore
Come on, sit with me
And in the end you’ll see
That I’m not bad at all
chorus:
Watch me now, I’m the Shy Peacock
I cover up the traces of my worst-selling show
And every kid knows that a shy peacock
Has got no luggage, nowhere to go
Nowhere to go
Shy Peacock
I’m the Shy Peacock
Robert Frank is a good boy,
But sure he never did no good to me
You say Robert Frank is a good boy
But sure he never did no good to me
He said “I’d like to impress you
But I dont’ wanna lie to you
I just need to tell you how I feel
D’you know how I feel!?”
chorus twice

Morning Dew
04:59
|
|||
|
Long ago we knew
We were not machines
Morning dew
Was cradling my dreams
Dispelling all my schemes
She used to love me
And I used to love her too
She showed me
A way out from my shell
And said the magic spell
“I believe in you
I believe in you”
In the morning dew
She said “I believe in you”
Then we had to part
Machines wouldn’t start
They needed me there
Back to where I thought
I should have fought
To get my share
So now I’m stuck like a cog
And I work like a dog
And I forget to rest
But I still think of her
And the way she would spur
Me to do my best
There is no right way
Just a workaround
Get away.
I’m leaving my hometown
Can’t stand another sound
The world out there is so vast
Vast enough to play
I have no past.
As expectations die
I remember how to fly
Into another day
Into another day
There is no right way
Just another day
Now I grow my greens
Goodbye old machines
You don’t need me there
I wish I’d never thought
I should have fought
To get my share
Now when I turn like a cog
As I work like a dog
I still forget to rest
But I sleep next to her
And again she can spur
Me to do my best

One Second And A Half
05:18
|
|||
|
We wanna be free
So easy to be
But we must stay at home for now
You know how I need you
I’ll try to get near you
I’ll do anything they will allow
We’ll do it their way
Got to be O.K.
Still I am wondering how long we’ll have to wait
chorus:
It’s only going to last one second and a half
Though sometimes it just feels like years
You know I know that when it’s over we will laugh
And stop that ringing in our ears
I can hear your voice
Through the digital noise
Say you need to stay alone for now
You know I respect you
And though I just want to protect you
I will only do what you’ll allow
So we’ll do it this way
Got to be O.K.
Still I am wondering how long I’ll be afraid
chorus
There’s something to learn
From these lonely days
I have all the time to burn
My fear in this place
It makes me tough
It keeps me alive
It makes me strong enough
For the two of us and a new life
chorus
Have faith in the Earth
And the waiting might end
Only time will tell her if it’s worth
It to make us meet again
Not for my whim
To make you my wife
But to make us full of vim
Then we could be home for a new life
