The king had something changed within him
I should have told him no
Oh Columbus, I never should have let you go
Now aching wires, midnight fires
Things I could not know
Oh Columbus, I never should have let you go
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someone's words to reassure me
I don't blame any of you, and I don't blame myself
Waiting for my small reward
It's going to come somehow
Oh Columbus, I wish that you could see us now
We don't posses a single empty tear
Or furrowed brow
Oh Columbus, I wish that you could see us now
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someone's words to reassure me
I can't change any of you, I can't change myself
The man had something strange about him
He should have let me know
Oh Columbus, I wish I'd never let you go
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someone's words to reassure me
I don't blame any of you, and I don't blame myself
Columbus

The king had something changed within him

Someones words to reassure me

Oh Colombus, I wish that you could see us now
We don't posess a single empty tear
Or furrowed brow
Oh Colombus, I wish that you could see us now
You don't suppose there'd
Be room in here somewhere for me
I think I just need
Someone's words to reassure me

Better keep your distance from this whale
Better keep your boat from going astray
Find yourself a partner and treat them well
Try to give them shelter night and day
'Cause here in this blue light
Far away from the fireside
Things can get twisted and crazy and crowded
You can't even feel right
So you dream of Columbus
Ever time the panic starts
You dream of Columbus
With your maps and your beautiful charts
You dream of Columbus
With an ache in your travelling heart
See how the cormorant swoops and dives
Must be some thrill to go that deep
Down to the basement of this life
Down to where the mermaid gently sleeps
Not like here in this blue light
Far away from the fireside
Where things can get twisted and haunted and crowded
You can't even feel alright
Chorus
And as tide must ebb and flow
I am dragged down under
And I wait the livelong day
For an end to my hunger
So I dream of Columbus
Every time that the panic starts
I dream of Columbus
With my maps and my beautiful charts
I dream of Columbus
And there's peace in a traveling heart
I dream of Columbus

I an' I all I know
I an' I all I say
I an' I reconsider
I an' I see upfully that:
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah
He say 'im that he's the first one
Who discover Jamaica, I an' I say that:
What about the Awarak indians ?
And the few black man who were down here before him ?
The indians could'n hang on a long long
Here comes black man an'oman an' children
A ina Jam Dung run ya
Whole heap a mix up, mix up
Whole heap a ben up, ben up
Ha fi straighten out
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah
What a long stay from home
I an' I longing to go home
Within a red, green an' gold robe
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
A outa Jam Dung land ya
A whole heap a mix up, mix up
A whole heap a ben up, ben up
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
Come on, twelve tribe of Israel
A outa Jam Dung land ya, yes Jah
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar
Cristopher Columbus is a damn blasted liar, yes Jah
He's a liar, yes Jah
He's a liar, yes Jah

tell me what you need to hear and i'll tell it to you again
i can fake it all if you can too
will it stop from bleeding naturally enough
can i hold my tongue in silent the words are slow and repeating
i know you why don't you take what you need and then go away
i know you why don't you take what you need
die to get another glimpse in
so i'll watch the water rinse
until we all get washed away
i never needed someone comforting me
i don't think i told you how i feel tonight
you perfect little angel your beautiful even now
i know you why don't you take what you need and go away
i know you why don't you take what you need
die to get another glimpse
so i'll watch the water rinse
until we all get washed away
i never needed someone comforting me

Tell me when does your justice start
What you say and what I see they are miles apart
Now I'm as guilty as any man or woman I declare
Of apathy and selfish greed and self interested affairs
Now why must we accept these things when after all
They're only handed down
Tell me when does your mercy begin
What you say and what I see

their words hit like bullets
strait through my heart
meant only to destroy your beauty
still i see through it all
i won't be sidetracked
this is my way to show the fire you've lit inside of me
it's only you
living in me
i want to be evidence of what you've done
take it all

Du har tänkt allt som sagts
om mig
Du kan tro allt du har hört
om mig
Du kan ställa frågor om
sanningen
Finns det en eller finns
det tusen
Svara rakt från hjärtat nu
Ditt medlidande kan jag vara utan
Om det här ska vara allt vi hann
så håll mig hårt
håll mig älskling nu
Stockholm vaknar långsamt
På droger och på sorg
Snön hyr ut sin oskuld
till hela kungsholmstorg
det känns som när jag kom hit
Way back in 93
En ynklig rad av fotspår
En okänd kontinent
Snälla snälla släpp taget nu
Jag kan stå gå eller krypa
härifrån
Om det hr är allt vi hinner med
så håll mig hårt min
älskling nu
Vaknar staden långsamt
och jag är full igen
Snön hyr ut sin oskuld
för skiten bara känns
och det känns som när jag kom hit
Way back in 93
En ynklig rad av fotspår
En oändlig kontinent
Stockholm vaknar långsamt
och jag är full igen
Snön hyr ut sin oskuld
till hela kungsholmen
och det känns som när vi kom hit
till möjlighetens land
Du kan följa mina spår hem

columbus sailed on many moons
on a sea of hope
i'll be back it won't be soon
with every word i wrote
it's gone
a sentence in a dusty book
on a spartan shelf
the guards hold up her falling roof
with everything they know
it's gone/gone/gone
upon the shores of avalon
a soldier rests his head
the birds pick up the sweetest spot
to build their lonely nest
it's gone/gone/gone
it's gone/gone/gone
mother/i cried/mother/i cried
for us/for us
we pull the tree up by it's roots
it's shade no longer full
the fish hide in the longest reeds
ignoring their own rules
it's gone/gone/gone
spinning a new parasol
she gathered up the street
they used far too much dynamite
to bring down 300 hundred feet
of the wheel
kaleidiscopes of spinning tales
that i'd onedaywrite
the island fell to disrepair
it fell right from my sight
it's gone/gone/gone
gone/gone/gone
mother/i cried/mother/i cried
for us/for us
the horses dug the deeper pits
with strength herefor not seen
we lived for gods we cannot see
but lived upon our wings
it's gone/gone
and everything i ever loved
i loved way too soon
a pauper plays his final act
refusing to lose
it's gone/gone/gone
the men they will still hoist aglass
to every fallen friend
they tore the castle down so quick
never thinking of the end
it's gone/gone/gone
mother/i cried/mother/i cried
for us/for us
the years don't need your oxygen
they need your summer rain
a temple to a single train
delivered on the rust
it's gone/gone/gone
he drew the lines upon her breast
stopping to his eye
she stood and watched the ships come in
passing on her left
they're gone/gone/gone
i reached for their benevolence
cast in endless gold
our cold is pure will to change
when everything is sold
it's gone/gone/gone
gone/gone/gone
mother/i cried/mother/i cried
