(Lyrics by Persson)
Hey, what did you hear me say
you know the difference it makes
what did you hear me say
Yes, I said it's fine before
I don't think so no more
I said it's fine before
I've changed my mind
I take it back
Erase and rewind
'cause I've been changing my mind
I've changed my mind
So where did you see me go
it's not the right way, you know
where did you see me go
No, it's not that I don't know
I just don't want it to grow
It's not that I don't know
I've changed my mind

I saw you there
I stopped and stared
the curly girlie smiled
You really were
too close to her
and people just went by
I saw your face
and her embrace
your whisper in her ear
I know the score
'cause I've heard it before
I read your lips with fearYour words were clear (you said:)
La-la-la-la-la-la
let's say forever, let's say it's true
la-la-la-la-la-la-
let's come together, me and you
la-la-la-la-la-la
your new cuckoo
he's lonely
sitting by the mirror
awakened by the horses
in circles
running in the circus
his red nose
looking damaged in the mirror
cause no one has replaced it
he's dressed now
ready to make fun of...
he loves sundays
and every place
where his circus stays
he's lonely
he's sitting by the mirror
still broken
undressed now
ready for a new town
he loves sundays
and every place
where his circus stays
they love his show
thir favourite part
that gives them a laugh
they love his show
their favourite part
relaxes their hearts
he loves sundays
and every place
where his circus stays
oh it's healing - bang bang bang
i can hear your cannons call
you've been aiming at my land
your hungry hammer is falling
and if you want me I'm your country
I'm an angel bored like hell
and you're a devil meaning well
you steal my lines and you strike me dumb
come raise your flag upon me
and if you want me I'm your country
if you win me I'm forever - oh yeah!
'cause you're the storm that I've been needing
and all this peace has been deceiving
I like the sweet life and the silence
but it's the storm that I believe in
come and conquer and drop your bombs
cross my borders and kill the calm
bear your fangs and burn my wings
I hear bullets singing
and if you want me I'm your country
if you win me I'm forever - oh yeah!
'cause you're the storm that I've been needing
and all this peace has been deceiving
I need some wind to get me sailing
so it's the storm that I believe in
you fill my heart, you keep me breathing
'cause you're the storm that I believe in
and if you want me I'm your country

Someone's thinking of her
a fifteen hour trip away
life is so much slower
than a charter trip delay
Tomorrow, she won't feel half of this
Tomorrow morning is a sugar kiss
Tomorrow, heavenly no sorrow
she will lose gravity
Tomorrow...Someone's thinking of the her
trough the hazy scenery
life is blue as water
when you're missing somebody
Tomorrow, she won't feel half of this
Tomorrow morning is a sugar kiss
Tomorrow, heavenly no sorrow
she will lose gravity
Tomorrow...
Oh, come crush me now
Don't leave
No one has won this war
This time
No, don't sleep tonight
I'm hurt and ready for fire
Don't leave me up
Alarmed and ready to die
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
Please, I'm almost done
Don't retreat
I've loaded my gun
With blood, with...
Hear the dust roll over the floor
Why must you sleep?
Come crush me now
I'm armed
And ready to die
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, fight me, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
You look so peaceful when you sleep
Beautiful creep
It's such an easy way to choose
You loose
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, fight me, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
You look so peaceful when you sleep
Beautiful creep
It's such an easy way to choose
You loose

sick, tired and homeless
with no one here to sing for
tired of being weightless
for all these looking good boys
you can always say my attic has its charm
you can always say you did no major harm
you can always say that summer had its charm
and that you did no major harm
oh, spare me if you pleasesick, tired an sleepless
with no one else to shine for
sick of all my distress
but I won't show I'm still poor
you can always say my attic has its charm
you can always say you did no major harm
you can always say that summer had its charm
and that you did no major harm
oh, spare me if you please
symptoms are so deep
something here's so wrong
nothing is complete
nowhere to belong
symptoms are so deep
I think I'd better stay
here on my own
so spare me if you please

seems hard to understand
I think no one can
not anyone I know
no, wait I think I know
one who does
at least that's what he says
and what I mean is what I say
but I've got thoughts left anywayseems hard to understand
I'm not sure myself
sure of what to think
I know I should trust myself
at least that's what he says
seems hard to understand
I think no one did
not anyone I knew
well, I thought I knew
one who did
it was only as he said...
i can't get out of bed
can't get my dreams out
of my sleepy head
i open up my eyes
and wonder where you are
but soon i realise
that you're not real
and i am
in between of day and dream
life and death, a lazy stream
in between of day and dream
hello, goodbye
you nasty sunny beam
i try to seal my mind
and get back to where you were
you were that perfect kind
you drove me crazy
somewhere
in between of day and dream
life and death, a lazy stream
in between of day and dream
hello, goodbye
you nasty sunny beam
i'm floating down again
and my world is a syrup waterfall
i can't remember when
or where
or why
in between of day and dream
life and death, a lazy stream
in between of day and dream
hello, goodbye
you nasty sunny beam
(Lyrics by Persson)
This is where your sanity gives in
and love begins
Never lose your grip
don't trip
don't fall
you'll lose it all
The sweetest way to die
It lies deep inside
you can not hide
it's the meanest fire
Oh, it's a strange desire
you can not lie
that's a needless fight
This is where your sanity gives in
and love begins
Never lose your grip
don't trip
don't fall
you'll lose it all
The sweetest way to die
When your blood runs dry
you're paralyzed
it will eat your mind
Did you hold it back
It comes to you in slow attacks
Words: Sveningsson
Music: Svensson
How I always memorize
every single misery
and I seem to glorify
everything inside of me
and the hero never dies
if the lover hides
between the sheets
there' no escape
cause you can't sleep
and then you'll see
your just like me...That's what you called waste of time
I'll be waiting down the line
that's what you called waste of time
waiting for your valentine
that's what you called waste of time
I know where you hero hides
that's why you don't sleep tonight
that's what I call life
with a hero in the past
you hang on to history
such a lost will always last
and there's no recovery

turn away and the collar
because the blowing is dry
walk away to the harbour
before your ships will fly
slip away and the pillow
because it's falling of down
trot away and around
because your ships are found
somewhere over the water
next to a harbour
someone's eager to listen
someone to be in...

my dear, please see my dear
how we invented the fear
inside that space
no one could interfere
my dear, please see my dear
how we invented the tears
inside that space
no one could interfere
It's way too late to think of
Someone I would call now
And neon signs got tired
Red eye flights help the stars out
I'm safe in a corner
Just hours before me
I'm waking with the roaches
The world has surrendered
I'm dating ancient ghosts
The ones I made friends with
The comfort of fireflies
Long gone before daylight
And if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God leant his voice to me to speak
I'd say go to bed, world
I've always been too late
To see what's before me
And I know nothing sweeter than
Champaign from last New Years
Sweet music in my ears
And a night full of no fears
But if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God passed a mic to me to speak
I'd say stay in bed, world
Sleep in peace
You're losing a friend
You got it all wrong
I'ts not about revenge
But you're losing a friend
I didn't see it coming
With my head stuck in the sand
But now I'm loosing a friend
And it's keeping me up
It's the ribbons I tied
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Than let you go
You're losing a friend
You jeopardise me
Bad bad blood on your hands
And see, you're losing a friend
I'm fickle and I'm vain
And you trick me over and over again
And now I'm losing you
And it's killing me
It's the strings that I tie
I would rather just die
Go to hell and crawl back
Then let it all go
My mistake
To lose you
Oh no, oh no!
So this the end now
I'm losing you
Oh, look at you!
Look what you're wasting
You're losing a friend
Oh no, oh no!
I'm losing a friend
Oh, oh oh no

Strange to be on Marvel Hill
I've walked some years to find
I know there is a piece to fill
the gap I have in mind
No, nothing's here, I close my eyes
it's on the other side
And what I've worked so hard to gain
I'd gladly give away
'cause I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more
a postcard from where life is athrill
on top of Marvel Hill
but I don't need this
I don't need it
I need more
no, I don' t need this
too good to be true
too good to ignore
I don't need this
I need so much more

Look at all these losers
you find them everywhere
they're fucked up and annoying
but somehow you seem to care
It's easier to laugh
but something makes you stick around
you can't watch from above
and keep your ten toes in the sand
You wish that you were special
I'm just like youClose your eyes
that'll be the day you'll find those lies
Fold your ears
that'll be the day that you will hear
that'll be the day you
get back home
It's lonely to be strange
and you would never tell
that you're one of these itches
you know it much too well
losers are your weakness
they will always touch your heart
you're touching me as well
'cause I have always been a part
You wish that you were special
I'm just like you
Words: Sveningsson

after all you were perfectly right
but I'm scaring close to insanity
and on a night like this
nothing stays the same
nothing looks the same
after all you were perfectly right
though our relation just split me in two
and on a night like this
pieces fall apart
visions fall apartafter all you were perfectly right
I have never been happy before
and on a night like this
you can hear the words
see behind the words
after all you were perfectly wrong
though I thought I'd found love
and on a night like this
nothing could be worse
nothing could be worse
Look at all these losers
You find them everywhere
They're fucked up and annoying
But somehow you seem to care
It's easier to laugh
But something makes you stick around
You can't watch from above
And keep your ten toes in the sand
You wish that you were special
I'm just like you
Close your eyes
That'll be the day you'll find those lies
Fold your ears
That'll be the day that you will hear
That'll be the day you
Get back home
It's lonely to be strange
And you would never tell
That you're one of these itches
You know it much too well
Losers are your weakness
They will always touch your heart
You're touching me as well
'Cause I have always been a part
You wish that you were special
I'm just like you

We never chose to part
in this stupid play
I never felt by heart
that I could behave
the way the roles were made
I know that I've done you wrong
but you're hard to please
When your faith is gone
and when you can't believe
I'm on my hands and knees
The junk of the hearts
I've given all of me
and you crave for more
Weird how this makes us feel
insecure
that's what friends are for
Words/Music:Osbourne, Ward, Iommi & Butler
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
in the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
for the future of mankind
Now the time is here
for Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once savedNobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfurl
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!

the night she died in the rented room
as the whole town was sleeping
she held her breath like a star in bloom
could burn down tomorrow
the summer breeze was caressing me
as I walked through the market
the golden light of a friend beside
had died out for goodnow nothing can amaze me
as everything's behind me
no, nothing else can please me
since all I had has been set free
the night before in the dining room
I recall it now
she said ";I fear for you my friend
cause I'll soon be leaving";
the autumn comes just like other years
but I won't see the signs
the sun above's sowing magic seeds
but it wants someone back...
a black cloud's hanging over town tonight
but i don't mind
i don't mind
there's a cold breeze cutting through the summer air
but i'm not scared
i don't care
'cause we dance the night away
let's dance the night away, yeah!
the black cloud's whispering into my ear
but i don't hear
i won't hear
'cause the arms that hold me want an eye to eye
he's touching me
and i don't mind
as we dance the night away
let's dance the night away
oh yeah!
the music wants me tonight
what time will you let me down
i look pretty good tonight
oh yeah!
little black cloud
little black cloud
i don't wanna go home
the black cloud's circling over me tonight
but i don'tmind
and you don't mind
if you're cold i'll tell you it's the summer breeze
just dance with me
we'll be alright
oh yeah!
the music wants me tonight
what time will you let me down
i look pretty great tonight
oh yeah!
little black cloud
little black cloud
i'm not done yet
hey, look at me!
the music wants me tonight
what time will you let me down
i look really great tonight
oh yeah!
little black cloud
little black cloud
i don't wanna go home
i'm not done yet
i'm not done yet
We wait for love to come
We'll all go down
We'll take our turns
We walk across
A new born world
All will wait for us
All will wait for us
I sail along your shore
I broke you then
I'll break some more
All will wait for us
All will wait for us
The ship is turning over now
We're trying to hold it up
Just one more time tonight
I feel all right
Been turning on that very point
You ought to stay anyway
Don't you wanna bring holy love today
Don't you wanna pray
Oh, no, yeah, all gunned down
Hold your tears
Oh don't you break my very own life
Hate, pulling me down
You will walk, you will walk
Hot tears coming down hard
The pain inside
Don't you hate
Cause I know you
We just walk, we just walk
All will wait for us
All will wait for us

Listen baby
thoughts has crossed my mind
and it's clear now
you are not my kind
oh! I've tried boy
better ways to say
what I feel now
it seems you plan to stay
but I won't waste a day
so I say...
hey! get out of my way
hey! hey! hey!
you've always been in my wayHear now honey
I'll be good to you
if you stay gone
far out of my view
I'm sick and tired
of your dramatic ways
and when I think of
all those wasted days
I shake loose of your laces
and say...
hey! get out of my way
hey! hey! hey!
you've always been in my way

No, not again

Oh, don't do that

No, not again
a loser I amI love you tonight
you are my knight
cure and assure and make me feel alright
tomorrow you'll find
I'm not around
but don't be uptight
'cause I loved you last night
Vacant and free
yeah, that is me
Just tell me how and I'll please you for free
tell me I'm good
I know I'm bad
Lies make me feel fine although it is sad
Oh, not again
not one more man
One, two, three, four
Hey baby come round
Keep holding me down
And I'll be keeping you up tonight.
The four letter word got stuck in my head
The dirtiest word that I've ever said
It's making me feel alright.
For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do
Oh what is worse I'm gonna run run run
'Till the sweetness gets to you
And what is worse I love you!
Hey please baby come back
There'll be no more loving attack
And I'll be keeping it cool tonight.
The four letter word is out of my head
Come on around get back in my bed
Keep making me feel alright.
For what it's worth I like you
And what is worse I really do
Things have been worse
And we had fun fun fun
'Till I said I love you
And what is worse I really do!
For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do.
Oh
For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do.

For what it's worth I love you
And what is worse I really do....

Upon a roof below the moon
nearby a park-bench in the sun
upon the stairway to your room
Why won't you wrap your life around
those certain words I just found
I wear your golden ring inside
suits me very fine
I wear your golden heart in mine
suits me very fineA backseat sofa in the dark
upon a viewpoint in our town
nearby a fountain in a park
Why won't you wrap your life around
those certain words I just found
I wear your golden ring inside
suits me very fine
I wear your golden heart in mine
suits me very fine
I wear your golden heart in mine
and life is very fine
Oh girl, look at yourself, what have you done
What have you become
Well, I couldn't say
Slow down and think of your heart, where do you go
Now, how am I supposed to know, I'm always looking away
Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes
I can't tell night from day
Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes and watch me walk away
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I took a look at myself
Nothing inside
Except for cigarettes and wine where there should be a life
You've been watching me for a while and you like what you see
It's in the eyes of the beholder
Now give them to me
Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes that seem to light my face
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh mirror, mirror upon the wall
Who is the fairest of them all
Mirror, mirror made no reply
Mirror went black and cracked from side to side
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Oh girl, look at yourself, what have you done
What have you become
You know the camera don't lie
Give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes I can't tell night from day
Come give me your eyes so I can see me straight
Give me your eyes and watch me walk away
Yeah!
Give me your eyes
Give me your eyes
Yeah, yeah, yeah!
So you're trying to do what they did
Your friends that turned to liquid
And got lost in the sea
And now you€™re drowning me
With your talk of four-leaf clovers
You turn to rocks and omen
To beat the ambient harm
That is bruising your karma
Oh I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
So you could rest and repair
Without the blanket of sorrow
The thick and the grey
Your blanket of woe
So heavy and stained
And it only weighs you down
So you thought that getting sober
Would mean your life was over
I don€™t think it€™s that bad
I don€™t think it€™s that sad
Just you sleep a little baby
Leave the world alone and later
If you wake up alive
That old blanket of sorrow
Could be feathers and down
Your blanket of woe
Would leave you alone
And I can love you till you drown
Come to me let€™s drown
Come baby let€™s drown
In feathers and down
such a foolish thing
what a way to be
i couldn't stay in here
and it's not right to leave
i couldn't tell you how
but all the things i feel
have their qualities
if you fall apart
fall into my arms
one uneasy morning
doesn't make me leave
such a simple thing
what a way to say
i couldn't help myself
for my foolish ways
you couldn't tell me how
but all the things you feel
have their qualities

We took off that sunny day
packed our things and went away
me and friends in daddy's car
to find out how summers are
found a card to send from wherever we wentFrom Luxembourg to Rome
from Berlin to the moon
from Paris to Lausanne
from Athens to the sun
our car became a spacecraft
flashing through the world
crashed down in Amsterdam
We'll take off some rainy day
pack our things and go away
families and hotelbars
to find out how summers are
find a card to send to some really old friends
From Luxembourg to Rome
from Berlin to the moon
from Paris to Lausanne
from Athens to the sun
our car became a spacecraft
flashing through the world
crashed down in Amsterdam
Do you really think
that love is gonna save the world
Well I don't think so

I just don't think so
And do you really think

Well I sure hope so

Oh, I really, really hope so
But I don't think so
Do you really think

A common line
I close my eyes
but couldn't let it go
the perfect time
I dropped my guard
and lost but won somehow
It's rather sad
it feels like we've never
made it together sinceOne word ahead
and you'd be dead
I held you in my throat
I stumble by
attached to you
I couldn't let it go
It's rather sad
it's really sad
it feels like we've never
made it together since
We'll never have the guts
to discover
we'll choke on it and die...

I'd catch some stars for you
and just for you
I'd paint the grey sky blue
and just for you
so don't tell me you want the rain
from a cloudy sky
to wash away the pain
that I've given you again
I've always tried to find
what satisfies your mind
but I will never know
where you are to go
but I want you to know
do you want a golden ring
I would buy you anything.I'd read some poems for you
just for you
I hope they won't make you blue
like they used to do
so please tell me they're like the rain
from this cloudy sky

I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
Carnival came by my town today
Bright lights from giantwheels
Fall on the alleyways
And I'm here
By my door
Waiting for you
I will never know
'Cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
Come on and love me now
I here sounds of lovers
Barrel organs, mothers
I would like to take you
Down there
Just to make you mine
In a merry-go-round
It takes no match to give me a spark
Now I'm trying out another heart
I've been winding 'bout a fresh start
I've found myself a good horse
Eyes burning on the quicksand
And I run it through the hollow land
I've fed it with a shaky hand
I found myself a strong horse
These are the promises I can keep
These are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
In grace
I've found myself a good horse
Yes I've found myself a strong horse
But things remain not different then before
These are the promises I can keep
Yes these are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
These are the promises I can keep
These are the promises I can keep
To live like I must
And ride with the dust in my face
In grace
Oh, come crush me now
Don't leave
No one has won this war
This time
No, don't sleep tonight
I'm hurt and ready for fire
Don't leave me up
Alarmed and ready to die
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
Please, I'm almost done
Don't retreat
I've loaded my gun
With blood, with...
Hear the dust roll over the floor
Why must you sleep?
Come crush me now
I'm armed
And ready to die
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, fight me, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
You look so peaceful when you sleep
Beautifully
It's such an easy way to choose
You loose
Come on, it's war, come on
Come on, come on, come on
Come on, fight me, come on
Come on, come on, come on

Guess who just got back today?
Those wild-eyed boys that had been away
Haven't changed, haven't much to say
But man, I still think those cats are crazy
They were asking if you were around
How you was, and where you could be found
I told them you were living downtown
Driving all the old men crazy
The boys are back in town
You know the chick that used to dance a lot
Every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man when I tell you she was cool, she was red hot
I mean she was steaming
And the time over at Johnny's place
Well this chick got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man we just fell about the place
If that chick don't want to know, forget her
The boys are back in town
Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
Down at Dino's bar and grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
And if the boys want to fight, you'd better let them
That jukebox in the corner blasting out my favorite song
The nights are getting warmer, it won't be long
It won't be long till summer comes
Now that the boys are here again
The boys are back in town
when the cats & dogs are falling
i'm recalling you
you said i'd be bored today
and i don't know what i want to do
wise eyes telling twice
dance like penguins on my table
ain't my kind of joy
on every friday night
i'm just wistling on a song...
songs we wrote together
when my world is far too evil
i'm recalling you
things are hard to understand
there's little that i really know
wise eyes telling twice
dance like penguins on my table
ain't my kind of joy
on every friday night
i'm just wistling on a song...
songs we wrote together
plain parade
well, where is all the profit laid?
plain parade
well, maybe we have lost our way
some are lone
sickly running from
something so wrong
and nowhere to belong
plain parade
well, when will i be repaid
plain parade
i might join you on another day
some are lone
sickly running from
something so wrong
and nowhere to belong
all you've given me is sadness
proof enough to feel i'm loveless
i wish that i could manage better now
and find a place that i can settle down
My dad, the best dad that I've had
don't care about nothing
he's not even working
he's not only my dad
the best friend that I've had
don't think he's a mad dad
His dad, is sleeping with boots on
it makes me start wonder
cause there is no thunder
according to my dad
don't think he's a mad dad
it's only some tigers he has got in our shed
My dad, the best dad that I've had
lies under the table
he's wearing his bathrobe
he's listening to lovesongs
His dad won't go to the woodshed
thinks bugs will attack him
according to my dad
it's only some tigers he has got in our shed
Took a long time to mend
Took a long time to make amends
Funny how the story goes
Strip a man bare and burn his clothes
Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown
System's on overload
Goes to bed warm but wakes up cold
What a bloody cross to bare
Time on my hands but I don't care
Days are all the same
They wax and wane
I will be here until I drown
Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown
Days are all the same
They wax and wane
I will be here until I drown
Time is all I crave
It comes in waves
I will be here until I drown
Mr. Crowley, what went on in your head
Mr. Crowley, did you talk with the dead
Your life style to me seemed so tragic
With the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
You waited on Satan's call
Mr. Charming, did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming, in nocturnal rapport
Uncovering things that were sacred manifest on this Earth
Conceived in the eye of a secret
And they scattered the afterbirth
Mr. Crowley, won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley, it's symbolic of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maidens call
Approaching a time that is drastic
Standing with their backs to the wall
I wanna know what you meant
I am young and I'm alive
I want to talk about things
I am young and I own my life
I need to talk about it, baby
I am one but I asked for two
I didn't get anything
This puppet's lonely without you
It's tough to walk without strings
I do my dance in the round
I'm right on track but this state is frail
You slip out and derail
I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
Clap your hands
I wanna do it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time, yeah!
Clap your hands
I gotta get get it right this time
I wanna step in time
I wanna do it right this time
I do my dance in the round
I am young, coming at you live
People gonna talk about me
When I'm done, please hang me high
For everybody to see
Cause I do my dance in the round
So people clap your hands
I wanna get it right
I'm dyin' to get it right
I wanna get it right
I'm dyin' to get it right
Sit, good dog, stay, bad dog, down, roll over
Well here's a good man and a pretty young girl
Trying to play together somehow,
I'm wasting my life, you're changing the world,
I get drunk and watch your head grow
It's the good times that we share
and the bad times that we'll have
It's the good times
and the bad times that we had
Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine, and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times and the bad times
That we'll have
Sometimes we talk over dinner like old friends
Till I go and kill the bottle,
I go off over any old thing,
Break your heart
and raise a glass or ten
To the good times that we shared and the bad times that we'll have
To the good times
and the bad time that we've had
Well it's been a long slow collision,
I'm a pitbull, you're a dog,
Baby you're foul in clear conditions
But you're handsome in the fog
So I need some fine wine and you, you need to be nicer
For the good times
and the bad times we know will come
Yeah
I need some fine wine
and you, you need to be nicer
you need to be nicer
you need
For the good times
and the bad time that we had
Sit
Good times, bad times
Sweet wine, bad wine
Good cop, bad cop,
Lapdog, bad dog
Sit.

I heard about a great big swindle
I read about it in a book
The book flew out the window
Was later found by geeks and crooks
Now they're singing hallelujah
I wondering just what did they find
They said eh whats it to yah
Just take a place in line
And wait, so I wait
I wait, and wait and I...
I'm one of a few survivors
And a drawer labeled lost and found
Though troubled and some deep sea divers
Whose oxygens are pouring out
Now maybe if their gods be willin
They'll give us something to fill our empty cups
Sit down in the boat dont spill it
Or we'll just have to line back up
And wait, so we wait
We wait and wait yes we wait
And we wait
We can wait
We will wait till we...
Guitar solo roar
You can hear it in the beat they march to
You can feel the earth shake when they start to dance
You can tell by the way they move you
It's not murder its an act of faith baby
And as the world moves faster
Whip lashing us around and round
It's quite a slow disaster
And people keep on falling down
Yes we wait, we wait
And we wait
We wait
And we wait
We wait
I am afraid of you now
Now that you left me
Nothing I can say
No not now
Now that you left me
Now that you left me
Now that you left me
Just for how long
Did you know before you left me?
Nothing to do
It's up to you
Use it against me
Use it against me
Now that you left me
You are ahead of me now
Because you left me
Words that I said
All yours now
Use it against me
You have erased me
Now that you left me
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
I'll be gone
it's closing time, and a well-known fact
is that life is very short
it's closing time says the band
and it seems that life is very short
the baker in town was fat as a cow
at the end of the day he ate all remains
the baker in town was murdered one day
an order was left of 200 pies
we've all got some vice
after closing time
so this is it!
the carnival is now heading for a new town
we hope you enjoyed the show
the party at gordon's developped into a chaos
but the report says no one was hurt
and we've also heard that charley actually did solve the case
the gruesome killing of the bakerman
finally, the clown left the circus to become a plumber
he says : "suits me just fine, and life is very fine
and this is closing time"
it's closing time, and a well-known fact
is that life is very short
it's closing time says the band
and it seems that life is very short
la lalala lala lalala

life - greatest of all
life - strongest of all
but at the same time
most delicate time
could well end in a moment
hi, how are you i'm pretty fine
your eyes are red, well i am tired
please stay away from what is mine
blah blah blah blah blah blah
my, i never thought of seeing you here
i'm really glad to meet you darling
where did we lose it, will you call?
all we ever say
is blah blah blah blah blah
we feel safe
with blah blah blah blah blah
no one's hurt
no one's weird
so all we ever say
is blah blah blah blah blah
don't try to reach me, i am numb
and i don't want to look inside you
so let's just talk about the times
like normal people do!
With a sampled heartbeat and a stolen soul
I sold my songs to have my fortune told
And it said
You should know that love will never die
But see how it kills you in the blink of an eye
I know love is a hot white light
It knocks you down and then leaves you dry
Oh how can it be sweet mama tell me why
Why all loves disciples have to wither and die
Please sister, help me come on do what you should
Please give me something I'm not doing so good
I'm gone, done wrong is there nothing you can say
Please sister help me I'm not feeling ok
Give me believe that my time will come
And a toll free helpline if I find someone
But she said
You gave away what you never really had
And now your purse is empty I can see why you're sad
Please sister, help me come on do what you should
Please give me something I'm not doing so good
I'm gone, done wrong is there nothing you can say
Please sister help me
Can you make me feel ok
So if it's true, that love will never die
Then why do the lovers work so hard
To stay alive
Please sister, help me
Please give me something oh
Please sister, you know I do what I can
Oh sweet mama, please descent me a man
Cause I'm gone, gone
Is there nothing you can get
Please sister help me I just need some love
To live
Just a little love to live
I came home in the morning
And everything was gone
Oh what have I done
I dropped dead in the hallway
Cursing the dawn
Oh come on sun
Why must I burn
I'm just trying to learn
I stared into the light
To kill some of my pain
It was all in vane
Cause no senses remain
But an ache in my body
And regret on my mind
But I'll be fine
Cause I live and I learn
Yes I live and I learn
If you live you will learn
I live and I learn
God kicked you in the head
So I started a fight
Cause I knew I was right
But I learned I was wrong
I remember a slaughter
I remember I fought
For the money I brought
I got blistered and burned
And lost what I earned
But I live and I learn
Yes I live and I learn
I got, I got it now
She's got, She's got it now
I came to one a corner
With some help from a man and goddamn
I don't see to have learn
That a lady in need is guilty indeed
So I paid and got laid in return
And I don't know what I've learned
Well you get what you give
And hell yes I lived
But if you live as you learn
I don't think I'd be learned
Oh with the sun in my eyes
Surprise, I'm living a life
But I don't seem to learn
No I don't think I can learn
I went too far, yes I came too close
I drove away the one that I loved the most
Now I ride the tight on a boat made of sand
I'm sailing for another to guide me to land
And lead me into the night
Please drive away the light
Cause I've been blinded by glitter and gold
My eyes need to rest from this light
And sleep well at night
I traveled east and I traveled west
And I found a boy with a heart on his chest
I ran a ground my ship left to rust
Yes I found a guide in the city of lust
To lead me into the night
Oh please drive away the light
Although my mother will never understand
I walk with him away from the light
And into the night
Oh you, you, you, it's got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it's got to be you
True, true, it's true it's got to be you
Oh you, oh you, it's got to be you
To lead me into the night
Well I went too far and I came too close
I drove away the first one and now he's the coast
And I went to drift on a boat made of sand
It was leaking like a sift but I made it to land
It leads me into the night
He drives away in the light
He makes the darkness seem bright
And walks with me into the night
Away from the light
So you trying to do what they did
Your friends that turn to liquid
And got lost in the sea
And now you're drowning me
With your talk of four leaf clovers
You turn to rocks and omen
To beat the ambient harm
But it's bruising your karma
Oh I wish my arms were wider
I wish that I could hide you
So you can rest and repair
Without the blanket of sorrow
The thick and the grey
Your blanket of woe
So heavy and stained
And it only weighs you down
So you thought that getting sober
Would mean your life was over
I don't think it's that bad
I don't think it's that sad
Just you sleep a little baby
Leave the world alone and later
If you wake up alive
That old blanket of sorrow
Could be feathers and down
Your blanket of woe
Would leave you alone
And I can love you till you drown
Come to me let's drown
Come baby let's drown
In feathers and down
Oh my heart can't carry much more
It's really, really aching and soar
My heart don't care anymore
I really can't bear more
My hands don't work like before
I shiver and I scrape at your door
My heart can't carry much more
But you couldn't care less
Could you
Your face don't look like before
It's really not like yours anymore
Your eyes don't like me no more
They quiver and they shift to the floor
My heart don't beat like before
It's never been this lone
No my blood don't flow anymore
And you couldn't care less
Could you
Could we stop and sleep for a spare
We can turn this stitch into a ware
And send that old devil back to hell
But we don't care do we
Baby let's stop and sleep for a spare
We can turn this stitch into a ware
And send that old devil back to hell
Your back's not straight like before
You really shouldn't care in me no more
I'm much too heavy for you
I'm really quite a mess, yes
We just don't care anymore
We're cricket and were cut to the core
We're just not there anymore
But we really don't care do we
No, we couldn't care less
We couldn't care less
Could we?
Man I've had a few
But they wouldn't quit blow me like you
You gave me your name and sight
With a halo around my eye
And it hits me like never before
That love is a powerful force
Yes it struck me that love is as bored
So I pushed you a little bit more
Love, you're news to me
You're a little bit more then I thought you'd be
A mow in my well fed lawn
You're a nightmare beating the dawn
Oh it hits me like never before
That love is a powerful force
Yes it struck me that love is a sport
So I pushed you a little bit more
Blue, blue, black and blue
Red blood sticks like glue
True love is cruel love
Red blood say power fuel
Sweet love tasty blood
My heart overfloods
Oh you hit me
Yeah you hit me really hard
Man you hit me
Yeah you hit me right in the heart
Lord I've had my deal
But I never quite knew how it feels
When love makes you wake up soar
With fists that are ready for more
And it hits me that love is a game
Like in war no one can be blamed
Yes it struck me that love is a sport
So I pushed you a little bit more
Blue, blue, black and blue
Red blood sticks like glue
True love is cruel love
Red blood say power fuel
Sweet love tasty blood
My heart overfloods
Man you hit me
Yeah you hit me really hard
Baby you hit me
Yeah you punched me right in the heart
And then you kissed me
And then you hit me
Oh you hold me with your violent heartbeat at night
Oh you strike me with your silence baby tonight
Why you hold me with your violence baby come hit me
You hold me with your violent heartbeat
It's way too late to think of
Someone I would call now
And neon signs got tired
Red eye flights help the stars out
I'm safe in a corner
Just hours before me
I'm waking with the roaches
The world has surrendered
I'm dating ancient ghosts
The ones I made friends with
The comfort of fireflies
Long gone before daylight
And if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God leant his voice to me to speak
I'd say go to bed, world
I've always been too late
To see what's before me
And I know nothing sweeter than
Champaign from last New Years
Sweet music in my ears
And a night full of no fears
But if I had one wish fulfilled tonight
I'd ask for the sun to never rise
If God passed a mic to me to speak
I'd say stay in bed, world
Sleep in peace

You in brown checked suit
said my dress was very cute
I found you found me
dancing in this melody
Heavenly!
We were swinging on so nice
bubbly pink champagne on ice
Nancy, Jacques Closeau and Claire
I believe they all were there
Having the time of their livesYou had Rose's lime
mixed with vodka, I had wine
People having fun
cocktails in the evening sun
Give me one!
We were swinging on so nice
bubbly pink champagne on ice
Nancy, Jacques Closeau and Claire
I believe they all were there
Having the time of their lives
La la la do de do de do
I will never know
cause you will never show
come on and let me know
come on and let me know
Carnival came by my town today
bright lights from giantwheels
fall on the alleyways
and I'm here
by my door
waiting for youI will never know
cause you will never show
come on and let me know
come on and let me know
I hear sounds of lovers
barrel organs, mothers
I would like to take you
down there
just to make you mine
in a merry-go-round

Smooth dreams in leaves
raised in teacup
Sticked down to sleep
like an envelope
filled up with words for you
Wrapped up in curls
sweet as the summer
cheek soft as a fur
grace in a slumber
beautiful wonderboySoft beams from an early sun
on my truly beautiful one
shimmer from a Saturday sun
on my truly beautiful one
rise in the morning
shine 'til the dawning
Stretched out to breathe
down from the rooftops
sticked down to sleep
like an envelope
filled up with words for you
(Lyrics by Persson)
This is a start
that I know I'll believe in
so I'm leavin' everything behind
Keeping the parts
that I know I'll be needing
and I breed to be a better kind
And I'm leavin' everyone behind
This is the age
when my past should be gone
but it's just stronger than the aims I have Turning the pages
I used to hang on to
I was young and I have changed my mind
And I'm leaving everything behind
New beginning again
a bit closer
new beginning again
a little bit closer
New beginning again
a bit closer to the end
This is the time
it's a delicate line
to the beginning of what's yet to come
Lifetimes of changes
a strange generation
explanations never come in time
So I'm leavin' everything behind
(music by Johansson)

Title: My Favourite Game
Artist: The Cardigans
I don't know what you're looking for
you haven't found it baby, that's for sure
You rip me up, you spread me all around
in the dust of the deed of time
And this is not a case of lust, you see
it's not a matter of you versus me
It's fine the way you want me on your own
but in the end it's always me alone
And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my babay
losing my favourite gameI only know what I've been working for
another you so I could love you more
I really thought that I could take you there
but my experiment is not getting us anywhere
I had a vision I could turn you right
a stupid mission and a lethal fight
I should have seen it when my hope was new
my heart is black and my body is blue
And I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I'm losing my baby
losing my favourite game
I'm losing my favourite game
you're losing your mind again
I tried, I tried, (but you're still the same) I tried
I'm losing my baby
you're losing a saviour and a saint
(Lyrics by Persson/Svensson)
I'm glad you came around today
I sure need a good companion
I'm losing it but you're the same
without you I move at random
Abusing 'cause you're a friend
and there's no Jesus here to explain
And take me higher
come take me higher
come take me high above our time
Take me higher
oh take me higher
come take me high above our time
We'll make it out of here?oh yeah
You justify, you're not afraid
and I won't feel like this forever
You wait with me, because you know
there's so much more than this before we go
To take us higher
come take us higher
come take us high above our time
Take us higher
oh take us higher
come take us high above our time
We'll make it out of here
come take us out of here
(Lyrics by Persson/Svensson)
I wonder what it's like
seeing through your eyes
You've offered me to have a try
but I was always late
The filters that I use
give me an excuse
I take away what's real
I feel it and it blows my fuse
I hang around
for another round
I'm hanging around
for another round
I'm hanging on
to the same old song
I hang around
for another round
Until something stops me
I wonder what it's like
walking by your side
To think before I talk
and to move at the same speed as you walk
I want to have a weight
to keep me in your state
I'm watching from above
(Lyrics by Persson)
Ease your trouble
we'll pay them double
not to look at you for a while
And you rely on
what you get high on
and you last just as long as it serves you
Explode or implode
explode or implode
we will take care of it
yes, we will carry you
'cause you're deserted
what's good, you hurt it
and kills you it keeps you alive
so give it up
in a world of puppets
It's a shame what they do to us all
can we do anything for you now ?
Words: Sveningsson, Svensson
Music: Svensson
Oh, I think you're standing
on my left foot
it's hurting, but that's OK
cause I'm in your way
You'll break that foot that
you're standing on
I'll walk with the other one
Do what you want to do what you want to
be what you want to be what you want to
go on and step on meYou're free to have everything
you can see, all that you want to be
do what you want with me
Oh, I think you're spinning
inside my head
I think of you all the day
cause you're in my way
Oh, I think you're holding
the heart of mine
squeeze it apart, that's fine
go ahead and step on me

Dear, I fear we're facing a problem
you love me no longer, I know
and maybe there is nothing
that I can do to make you do
Mama tells me I shouldn't bother
that I ought to stick to another man
a man that surely deserves me
but I think you do!
So I cry, and I pray and I beg
Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
love me love me
pretend that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
So I cried, and I begged for you to
Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but youLately I have desperately pondered,
spent my nights awake and I wonder
what I could do have done in another way
to make you stay
Reason will not lead to solution
I will end up lost in confusion
I don't care if you really care
as long as you don't go
So I cry, I pray and I beg
Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
love me love me
pretend that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
So I cried, and I begged for you to
Love me love me
say that you love me
leave me leave me
just say that you need me
I can't care about anything but you
Love me love me
say that you love me
fool me fool me
go on and fool me
Love me love me
I know that you need me
I can't care about anything but you

Arrange my books in order
make up some nice stories to amuse you
make things look smart and easy
shape up the place
hungry for the meeting
the dinner we'll be eating
wine that we'll be drinking
and kinky thoughts I'm thinking
all because of youAnd now I've found a partner
no one can be happier than I am
and now I've found a new friend
no one can be happier than me
Prepare a meal with candles
sweet wine and strings
chosen for the purpose
then take a bath with bubbles
shape up my face
eager for the meeting
the dinner we'll be eating
wine that we'll be drinking
and kinky thoughts I'm thinking
all because of you

There's a monster growing in our heads
raised up on the wicked things we've said
a great divide between us now
something we should know
There's something to remember
and something to forget
as long as we remember
there's something to regret
something we should knowThere's a mountain higher than we knew
it's high but such a bitter view
a great divide between us now
something we should know
A great divide between us now
on different sides of a great divide

Baby boy
Your face is pretty and your life's a toy
Master man
I'm never better than your latest plan
Poor donee
what are you gonna try to be
where are you gonna go without me now
I've been you mother, I've been your father
who can ask me for more
I've been your sister, I've been your mistress
maybe I was your whore
who can ask me for moreSuperstar
I've tried to educate your childish heart
I made your bed
and I was in it when your faith was dead
poor donee
what are you gonna try to be
where are you gonna go without me now

I'm you personal pro, you know
you know what number to try when to cry
Words/Music: Iommi, Butler, Ward, Osborne
You've seen life through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of liesThe people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And now there's just no return
Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

I want to be alone for a while
I want earth to breathe to me
I want the waves to grow loud
I want the sun to bleed down
see the waves go down
see the moon alone
see the world unshown
I raise my hesd and whisperrise and shine
rise and shine my sister
I want to see the wounded moon
I want the sea to break through
I want it all to be gone tomorrow
so I've come to say goodbye...

winter came by my bedroom today
falling in rows and covering the lane
morning shone on my windows today
passing the time I slumber away
to kill all the day
stumbling up at one
and put the kettle on
but wher's the coffee gone
in the afternoon
I put the TV on
but where's the drama gone
in the afternoon
and time is all that passessomeone came by my bedroom today
swaying around, then silently away
someone left home and my bedroom today
left by the time I slumbered away
to kill all the day
some people don't hurry
don't you worry they say
one day I'll be older
so much colder I say
this fear won't appear
if I keep stumbling up at one

you don't want the sun to shine in
so you turn the curtains down
your eyes still don't show me a thing
and you don't feel it's sunny outside
you don't want no joy for a while
but you stay up late at night
it hurts you that she's still alive
so you'll raise flowerbeds insidebut she, she will not get bothered at all
she's just watching the water at fall
so you should give them just what they need
water and poetry
cause she will not bother at all
she's just watching the water at fall
you should give them just what they need
cause she will not bother at all
but you won't say you're not adored
by her beauty.... celia inside
you don't want to feel her at all
but who's that fellowman of hers
with who, your dear celia moved
and they'll sleep happily inside
....but you won't say you're not adored
by her beauty
and her purity
and her lovely.... celia inside

I did all that I should, well all that I could
but will I be clean
I did all that I should, well all that I could
but it isn't me
all my strength is dead and gone
slept as long I could, as long as I should
to find comfort here
slept as long I could, as long as I should
but I still have fearall my strength is dead and gone...
black letter day
all the fun / joy / strength
...has gone away
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
in simple despair
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
to find someone there
I hope monday will be a better day
Slow, slow, slow
There is something you need to know
There's a feeling I don't understand
Here it comes again
Glow, glow, glow
There was love ten seconds ago
In it's place, now a tiny pain
It comes again
There'll be rain on our wedding day
And the chapel will be mud and clay
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
I don't know why
Slow, slow, slow
Easy come and easy go
It seems your ring is sliding off my hand
Do you understand?
No, no, no
In every breathe you're dragging me low
In every movement the chill sustains
Here it comes again
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Rotting roses in my bouqet
There'll be rain on our wedding day
Gray be the sky
Too late to cry
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
Slow, slow, slow
Has he lost his mind?
Can he see or is he blind?
Can he walk at all,
Or if he moves will he fall?
Is he alive or dead?
Has he thoughts within his head?
We'll just pass him there
Why should we even care?
He was turned to steel
In the great magnetic field
When he travelled time
For the future of mankind
Now the time is here
For Iron Man to spread fear
Vengeance from the grave
Kills the people he once saved
Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
That he will soon unfold
Nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
Nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge
Heavy boots of lead
Fills his victims full of dread
Running as fast as they can
Iron Man lives again!
good morning joan
now pick up your phone
it was bad but just a dream
and you are remembered
put on something pretty
go back to the city
in town the sky's just space
no starlight in your face
liseten to eve, she's got stuff up her sleeve
to her there's no excuse
you've gotta use before you get used
or talk to louise
she knows all about freezing
she got lost in early may
and now it's december
i'd call on you if i could
if you were less like me i would
good morning joan
did you wake up alone
did you dream you woke up happy
with a phonebook full of names
just forget about mary
she says everything's scary
she got locked inside her skin
get near her, she'll drag you in
i'd call on you if i could
if you were less like me i would
save you from this if i could
if i were less like you, god knows i would (save you from this)
spare us all this shit
but you're all just like me so i quit!
my name is yours
can i sleep on your floor
see, my heroes changed their minds
and i lost my numbers
don't blame your daughter, that's just sentimental
and don't blame your mum for all that you've done wrong
your daddy's not guilty you came out a little faulty
and the factory closed so you can't hold them liable
you come from an island, you're cutting diamonds with a rubber knife
your autograph's worthless so don't send me letters
and don't mail me cash 'cause your money is no good
what's left in your mattress is holes that lack of love left
some hair from a horse and none of them is yours, man
you come from an island, you're cutting diamonds with a rubber knife
and the song you sing today wasn't always in your head
the words you try to say are the ones you should've said
they're glistening like diamonds, go out and find them, but don't blame your daughter
read me your tombstone, tell me you're sorry, fax me your will, you owe me something still
blood is like water, the bath that you poured me has drained and is gone
don't blame it on your son
and the song you sing today wasn't always in your head
the words you try to say are the ones you should've said
they're glistening like diamonds, go out and find them, but don't blame your daughter
I'm gonna watch you
while you get me wrong
I'm gonna sing
to you hate this song
I'm gonna tell you
In my sweetest voice
I'm gonna choose you
'cause you have no choice
It's funny thing we got
It's never gonna stop. Oh no!
I'm gonna take you
to the wilderness
I'm gonna show you
things you might have missed
I'm gonna kiss the parts
that you have lost
Is not a course
You're burning my hair legs (no estoy seguro de esta ultima parte)
It's funny thing we got
It's never gonna stop
until we drip drop tear drop
I'm gonna work
til we get it on
I'm gonna love you
till we get alone
and when the rivers in your eyes are sored
I'm gonna love you just a little bit more
It's funny thing we got
It's never gonna stop
until we drip drop tear drop
slow dancing tight
my barring heart and i
your name used to taste so sweet
then you bit the love right out of me
it's a mystery how people behave!
how we long for a life as a slave
when he kissed me i gladly gave in
to a fight nobody could win
man, he left me blue
and if i could i would do it too
i tell you now like i told you before
love is a powerful force
and it's a mystery how people behave!
how we long for a life as a slave
and tumble into any open arms
that will only ever do you harm
oh, you you it's always you
the best kisser that i ever knew
true love is cruel love
not much to be proud of
nerve-wrecking acrobatic backwards bend
all for a happy end
it's a mistery how people behave!
how we worry ourselves to the grave
when he kissed me i lost everything
then i got up and did it again
oh you you, it's always you, the hardest hitter that i ever knew
true love is cruel love
not much to be proud of
ass-kissing mercy-missing faithless friend
all for a happy end
For 27 years I've been trying to believe and confide in
Different people I've found.
Some of them got closer then others
Some wouldn't even bother and then you came around
I didn't really know what to call you, you didn't know me at all
But I was happy to explain.
I never really knew how to move you
So I tried to intrude through the little holes in your vanes
And I saw you
But that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
You always seem to know where to find me and I'm still here behind you
In the corner of your eye.
I'll never really learn how the love you
But I know that I love you through the hole in the sky.
Where I see you
And that's not an invitation
That's all I get
If this is communication
I disconnect
I've seen you, I know you
But I don't know
How to connect, so I disconnect
Well this is an invitation
It's not a thread
If you want communication
That's what you get
I'm talking and talking
But I don't know
How to connect
And I hold a record for being patient
With your kind of hesitation
