Dominos
03:16
|
|||
On the downtown train
With my ball and chain
When the clock strikes eight
A chain reaction
I’ve been on the floor
I’ve been shown the door
Now what’s next in store?
A chain reaction
I couldn't be satisfied
‘cause they dragged me out of my dream
I suffered, I stood in line
Need the kick from behind in my spine
We fall like Dominos
We fall like Dominos
You & me, everybody goes
Like dominos
I go snap, crack, pop!
Gonna rip it up!
When you hit the spot
A chain reaction
Wha, wha, what you said?
I go blue than red
I could drop down dead
A chain reaction
Ah, rattle & roll my soul
There’s a diamond lost in the mine
Up, up and away I go
Need the kick from behind in my spine
I don’t wanna think about the morning after
I don’t wanna stick around and play it safe
I don’t wanna move, press forward faster
Head to toe, l let go!!

Love Is What You Want
03:52
|
|||
I’m on a mission to feel
But someone else’s steering the wheel
This wagon jumps off the main track
I’ll be back
But not soon enough
I’ll be all but forgotten
sharing our separate beds
mind set where the sun never sets
We're not there, we're not halfway there
I'm a drop in the ocean
love is what you want
just keep your eyes shut
it migth pass you by
love is what you want
what makes a dream come true?
what makes a lie?
love is what you want, is what you want
love is what you want
planning the perfect escape
trying to not make mistakes
my ego get stuck in the way
When I thought everything was ok
You start foaming with hatred
waiting for three magic words
some easily overheard
have you heard
I was almost there
At the registry office
what is the one and only
for how long can you leave a door open
its a cold comfort
that we’re equally lonely
if you let me in,
might work it out

Do-Si-Do
03:46
|
|||
we went to NY, the air was still warm
we walked round the shops & cafes
and I tried to work ignoring my hands
didn’t follow the leads in my brain
cause all of those footsteps kept follow me round
and all of those voices made noise without sound
and we danced like you do when on holiday
and we drank like you do when you have nothing much to say
on your marks, do-si-do, facing your partner
bottoms up and refill, I’m still hungover
and that look on your face made me feel like a crook
from an Albert Camus-book,
a stranger in a strange land,
a stranger to myself and scary as hell
that look on your face as if nothing had changed..
like in “eleanor rigby” no-one was saved
and we danced to war & we danced to peace
& we danced to everything that’s in between
and we drank to love & we drank to hate
and we drank to everything, before it was too late

What You Talking About?
02:59
|
|||
You used to be my hero
Now you’re just another boss
Though I rate myself as zero
I can’t understand what you’re talking about
All the anger left my body
I’m drying off in the aftermath
5 years as your understudy
When I can’t understand what you’re talking about
I got a message to you
Cause I can’t follow through
Tell my lies & will listen
Tell the truth & I’ll be gone
Tell me why I need permission
You don’t have to shout
I can’t understand what you’re talking about,
no I can’t understand what you’re talking about
shining in your shadow
how could I sink this low?
Our acquaintance has been so-so
And I can’t understand where my patience gone
Cap in hand waiting for my saviour
You raise a toast for your setting son
I was on time but you turned up later
always expecting to end up alone
I got a message to you
Cause I can’t follow through

Breakin' Point
03:29
|
|||
In the European late October night
Stay inside with your doubts
In the quest of what is worthwhile
or just trite
On the couch, hypnotized
It’s a small step for humanity,
A giant step for me
I’ve been waiting for your kick to set me free
I saw it in Jesus,
saw it in Superman
Got it from whiskey
Like any loser can
been running on empty,
I leave all in your hands
now show me what to do
I’m listening to you
You’ve been hiding in the bosom of my dream
Now the clock sets the scene
We’ve been eagerly awaiting your entrée
What to do, what to say
All the trivialities are out of focus in my mind
All I really wish is you’ll be doing fine

A Long Goodbye
03:45
|
|||
It’s hard to be cruel to someone kind
and I still haven’t made up my mind about you
it’s just that I have no more to say
keep lining up empty phrases
as an excuse for breathing
a long goodbye
it’s all confusion and lies
why can’t we make it short
a long goodbye
it’s all manners & style
maybe we’ll never say goodbye
communication’s breaking down
you turn away so I can’t hear you
memories melting to a stain
who’s gonna tell our story?
gone in the flashback ashes
a long goodbye
it’s all confusion and lies
why can’t we make it short
a long goodbye
it’s all manners & style
maybe we’ll always stay
we plan our anniversary
I play the game of happiness and harmony
And honesty has no part in it
funny how you don’t seem to notice it
a long goodbye
it’s all confusion and lies
why can’t we make it short
and sweet
it’s all manners & style
maybe we’ll never say goodbye

Nostalgic Intellect
03:54
|
|||
I don’t know where I’m gonna go
Where to run if they drop the bomb
I’ll be gone
So I stay in my hidden shed
Rather extinct than mentally dead
You can’t see what I won’t show
And you keep a knockin’ hard,
I won’t hear
‘cause I’m locking myself
In the old world
Nothings changed on the home turf
And I’m all mixed up in my own words
all tucked up with the same girl
I keep it dignified
Nostalgic intellect
What’s the point with a phone that’s smart
If you don’t have a flexible heart
Beating hard to and fro
If I’m all tapped into the universe
Whatever happens if the universe is cursed
I’ll be damned
You can stand so close but you won’t get near
And you cannot save me
With “what if’s” and “maybe’s”
I have far to many “buts” and “whys” to counter with
So I’m locking myself
In the old world
Nothings changed on the home turf
And I’m all mixed up in my own words
Nostalgic Intellect
‘cause I’m locking myself
In the old world
Nothings changed on the home turf
And I’m all mixed up in my own words
all tucked up with the same girl
So I’m locking myself
In the old world
Nothings changed on the home turf
And I’m all mixed up in my own words
all tucked up with the same girl
I keep you satisfied
Nostalgic intellect

In This Town
03:31
|
|||
In this town
In this town
I'm lost in my senses
running scared in a empty street
all alone in a crowd of my own
in this town
sights and sounds
are getting familiar
a tumble ground for cynicals
in this town, it’s time to move on
So come, take me away
before night turns to day,
move me,
cause tonite I don't wanna go
Home
I wanna go back to when it started
In the lost I found
I’m nobody now
I'm gone,
I’m in with the departed
give me one more try
I´m gonna make it this time
In this town
Sell your sleep to gain hours for the day
Now the walls are closing in
In this town, can’t feel anything

Hard Sleep
03:14
|
|||
You get no hard sleep when you love someone
Comes a time when you won't be around
screaming at the top of your lungs
you’ll be far away but by my side
I will always see the fireworks in your eyes
Night after night hearts explode, some survive
Guided by light
Fireworks in your eyes
Time after time something there to remind
I will alway see the fireworks in your eyes
Comes a time when I can’t even reach you
On the telephone
And you stand alone
You rebel cause rebellion is the thing that pleases you
But in time you’ll learn
You’re always my concern
Won’t deny, got tinnitus and a bruised up forehead
And an aching back
Try to rock, try to rock you,
try to sing you off to sleep
I keep you as mine
before I let you fly

It's Your Call
02:44
|
|||
I was trying to let it be
Making up with the other me
The wise one who got over you
but here we go again
you get me all wrapped up
again
Let’s see how many times can you lose yourself?
What’s left, of me
I'm handing it to you
It's your call
I keep waiting for an answer
you know you touch me again and again
My heart is getting heavy
Before I loose it
All wishes & hopes in vain
an itching echo inside my brain
was all for letting it slide this time
but here, I'm ready to put myself on the line,
again
I’m afraid you’ve come to say goodbye
it’s been done before, I’m giving in to you
It's your call
I keep waiting for an answer
you know you touch me again and again
My heart is getting heavy
Before I loose it
It's your call
counting days, weeks and years now
what happens when I see you again
can we take this any further?
I need an answer, really; it's your call

Between The Lines
03:02
|
|||
You´ve got a troubled soul
I´ve got a troubled mind
You wanna highlight the faults
why can't you leave them behind
tried to fix the cracks
it's still leaking in
this will never end,
if we don’t begin
we burn it up from both sides
our fuzz is fuel to the fire
reading between the lines
getting tired of
reading between the lines
colour outside the lines
bring the tirades
open up, let it out
speak your mind
or forever bite your tongue
(our loves hidden in between the lines)
when your heart's not there
it´s hard to sing along
(our loves hidden in between the lines)
you like the sun
but you just can't face it
I like the good things in life
but I don't know how to taste it
this vicious circle should
have been a circle of trust
trying to avoid
what now comes down to a must
I’ll never finish this book
You always turn out the light
out

Pretty Dumb, Pretty Lame
03:22
|
|||
SO you think you can hit the sky?
If you feed the machine that the industry drives
Is it worth all the souls you’ll destroy on the ride?
Pretty dumb, pretty lame
so you think you deserve this treat ?
is it wise stumbling down the dark end of the street
raising props to your confidence just for the night
you don’t have to confess the wife will never guess
I said:
HEY!
Don’t let it get to your head
HEY!
Others could do it instead
We’re born to do it and we’re born to survive
We’re born to mess it up living the lie
People call you a star
Pretty dumb, pretty lame
So you think you deserve this fame?
Is it hard to admit you’ve been trapped in its game?
getting hooked on all the strangers who’s barking your name
when the curtain is drawn they will eat at your brain
I said:
HEY!
Don’t let it get to your head
HEY!
Others could do it instead
We’re born to do it and we’re born to survive
We’re born to mess it up living the lie
People call you a star
Pretty dumb, pretty lame
Well you complain in the press you’ve been under a stress
Well every 9 to 5er is stressed out for less
If you enjoy what you do
Don’t let it ruin you
I said:
HEY!
Don’t let it get to your head
HEY!
Others could do it instead
We’re born to do it and we’re born to survive
We’re born to mess it up living the lie
People call me a star
Pretty dumb, pretty lame

Bad Taste
02:50
|
|||
You've been singing this story
too many times
repeating yourself and that’s not so fun..
you’ve been walking in circles
since you where young
searching for something that could never be found
you’re through with love
its over for good
over forever
it’s understood
Yes I know you've got
bad taste in love
bad taste in love,
but you fall in looooove
so easily you fall in love!
you say you’re not scared to end up alone
but your heart’s too soft to turn into stone
with a bittersweet tooth for the daily catch
your too shortsighted to meet your match
