Eskimos (or Esquimaux) or Inuit–Yupik (for Alaska: Inupiat–Yupik) peoples are indigenous peoples who have traditionally inhabited the circumpolar region from eastern Siberia (Russia), across Alaska (United States), Canada, and Greenland.
There are two main groups that are referred to as Eskimo: Yupik and Inuit. A third group, the Aleut, is related. The Yupik language dialects and cultures in Alaska and eastern Siberia have evolved in place beginning with the original (pre-Dorset) Eskimo culture that developed in Alaska. Approximately 4,000 years ago the Unangam (also known as Aleut) culture became distinctly separate, and evolved into a non-Eskimo culture. Approximately 1,500–2,000 years ago, apparently in Northwestern Alaska, two other distinct variations appeared. The Inuit language branch became distinct and in only several hundred years spread across northern Alaska, Canada and into Greenland. At about the same time, the technology of the Thule people developed in northwestern Alaska and very quickly spread over the entire area occupied by Eskimo people, though it was not necessarily adopted by all of them.
Go to sleep now and dream of him close
While the sky turns from blacker to red
When you wake in the morning he will be gone
And leave you dreaming him close
See him walkin' in the park
With a few things on his mind
He's been talking with the ones, the ones that he loves
Tell me who is gonna to pay
I'm so anxious I don't know
You can see it on their face as it takes its toll ooh
And he takes his time, yeah he takes his time
No more ever ever gonna mind
I don't care what the future holds, all I know is that I'm gettin' old
Ooh oooh
I think I've had an affair
Least that's what they call it these days
And it wasn't very fair to the ones that I love
But I just pushed her away
Oh there was nothing I could say
Now I hang myself each night with this noose that I built
And he takes his time, yeah he takes his time
No more ever ever gonna mind
I don't care what the future holds, all I know is that I'm gettin' old
He takes his time, yeah he takes his time
No more ever ever gonna mind
I don't care what the future holds, all I know is that I'm gettin' old
Ooh oooh
Ooh yeah
Takes his time, yeah he takes his time
No more ever ever gonna mind
I don't care what the future holds, all I know is that I'm gettin' old
He takes his time, yeah he takes his time
No more ever ever gonna mind
I don't care what the future holds, all I know is that I'm gettin' old
Ooh oooh
I've been waiting for too long
Staring at the sun
Waiting for the night to come
So I can get things done
I cant wait for this no more
My eyes have come undone
If my star will ever rise
Let it be the only one
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young
Ice is just a rememdy for pain and and rising heat
Hold it in your hands and watch the puddles form around your feet
And if you drink your water
It might just stop the pain
From dreaming of the fever drowning holes around your name
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young
If you're scared about the future
I'm scared about the past
And if you're feeling ill, its 'cause the world is spinning fast
Yeah you're staring at the sun
Yeah you better all hold on
And watch the sky become the ground
Forever young
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
Black fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you, all mine
A lot of people, underground
You wanna get there
You gotta go straight down
There's a culture, everywhere
Smoke clouds, hang in the air
It's so loud, can't hear you talk
You and I, should take a walk downtown
Straight down
Downtown
Straight down
The argument over god continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
All of us stand and point our fingers
Straight down
Red-letter day, black heart
Its gonna tear you, all apart
It's so loud; can't hear you call
You and I, are gonna fall straight down
Straight down
Downtown
Straight down
The argument over god continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
Argument over all continues
In this house
All of stand and point our fingers
Straight down x3
Black fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you, all mine
A lot of people, underground
You wanna get there, you gotta go straight down
The argument over god continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
The argument over all continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
You know, you know, you know i'm a liar

CHORUS
I could never wear that sweater
I could never wear that sweater
My grandpa gave me hand-me-down
When I put it on I look like a clown
All the kids would beat me up at school
Made me itch cause it was made of wool
Leather bound buttons in a monkey shit brown
Everywhere i go people putting me down
When i go and do the little bottom buttons up
Makes me looke like I got a big beer gut
CHORUS
Coming home late on an afternoon
My lip was all bloody and my forehead all bruised
Singing all the blues like hoody led better
All because of that shitty brown sweater
Shitty little sweater causing too much pain
Hung it in the closet never wear it again
No disrespect to my grandpa
But this sweater incident has gone too far
CHORUS
Late last June I was buying some slacks
From favourite Op shop named Aunty Jacks
Took them back to my abode
Had a good look through my big wardrobe
Then I spyed that certain sweater
But somehow it looks so much better
When I put it on no turning back
Even look good with my new brown slacks
You're cute and i like you
Let's go somewhere
Can't wait 'til tomorrow
To dye my hair
Got loaded got shouted
I like you so
Take you home i'm so sly
Oh you've got something in your eye
Say what you will, that's just the way it goes
I buy you a drink, you smile and wink,
I'm open to suggestion
Bup doobup, would you like
To climb on me?
Would you like some coffee?
Or maybe?
Where am i? rubber?
What was her name?
See you later, i'll call you
Someday
How can we list, can we list our love?
How about in alphabetical order?
You say yes and then you correct me
I think it might get messy
I'm going to have to drunkenly, confess to you
That you drive me crazy
And you know it's true
And yeah, maybe
I might have to kiss you
How can we list, can we list our love?
How about in alphabetical order?
I know it's just your way of complaining
That all boys are no good
And I'm just pretending, that I'm a sucker for you
Please believe me
I'm here for you
And yeah, maybe
I might have to kiss you
How can we list, can we list our love?
How about in alphabetical order?
How can we list, can we list our love?
You wake up somedays and your head hurts
Like none of the lights in your house work
Youve been up all night spending other peoples money
Its time to slow down from the speed that your running
Its hard sometimes being yourself
Like discarded rags on your top shelf
You put on your clothes that you wore just once
And your out of fashion and shes out of class
Everyones always asking "When were going away?"
Nobodys ever saying "When are we here to stay?"
Theres a hole in my pocket and a presure in my head
Who are these people getting me out of bed
You wake up somedays and your head hurts
Like none of the lights in your house work
Youve been up all night spending other peoples money
Its time to slow down from the speed that your running
Everyones always asking "When were going away?"
Nobodys ever saying "When are we here to stay?"
Theres a hole in my pocket and a presure in my head
Who are these people getting me out of bed
Hey now holy cow, i dont know what we were doing)
You wake up somedays and your head hurts
(Oh wee look at me, we dont know what we were doing)
Its hard sometimes being yourself
(Thats alright)
Youve been up all night spending other peoples money
Its time to slow down from the speed that your running
You put on your clothes that you wore just once
Hold me tight, don't let me go,
oh I'm the one who takes you home tonight
Whisperin' Whiskey and Gin
I'm the one who takes you home tonight
oh Yeah, yeah, yeah,

Some little things make you understand
Some little things you never give a damn
Go to sleep at three am
And as the baby screams
Don't let me

You won't let me down
All I want is you to stay
So tell me why I act this way
Some little things that make you understand
Some little things you never give a damn
Some little things that I can never change
Some little things will never be the same for me
Every time I wake up on my own
I say a little prayer to bring you home
Every time I wake up on my own
This is pressure
Stay away from me
If life is bigger, then what do you see
You're no better, no better than me
If this is pressure, show me
How do you bleed
There is no romance in suffocation
The walls down like your expectations
You want to scream and you want to shout
But you've built up steam and you can't let it out
This is pressure
No you won't see me
Just ask your brother what he now believes
You're no better, no better than me
If this is pressure
Tell me what do you see
There is no romance in suffocation
The walls down like your expectations
You want to scream and you want to shout
But you've built up steam and you can't let it out
This is pressure
Pressure now
Pressure, come on down
There is no romance in suffocation
The walls down like your expectations
You want to scream and you want to shout
But you've built up steam and you can't let it out
There is no romance in suffocation
The walls down like your expectations
You want to scream and you want to shout
But you've built up steam and you can't let it out
This is pressure
This is pressure
This is pressure
If you see my girlfriend cry,
Just keep walking pass her by.
Cos I'm not allowed to talk to her,
Cause who sold her out, Yeah we sold her out!

When I go and look into your eyes
I feel like I could drown
I look around
To find some air
But I can't find it anywhere
When I wake up in the morning
Looking for that early warning
A sound to say
That I'm still near
But baby don't cry
Your daddy's here
Every time I look into your eyes
Every time I look into your eyes
Every time I look into your eyes
Your eyes
Another day another battle
I won't let my soul get rattled
They're only words
They don't mean a thing
But baby don't worry I'm listening
Every time I look into your eyes
Every time I look into your eyes
Every time I look into your eyes
Your eyes
Always the one
Always the one
Always the one
Having some fun
Having some fun
Having some fun
On your own
In the town
Wih a short dress on
Looking for someone that you can hang off
So hang on
So hang on
Every time I look into your eyes
Every time I look into your eyes
Every time I look into your eyes
I love the sound of your heart [x7]
I can't believe that you're angry with me
Oh the shades come down to expose your frown
An the silence tears us apart
And I said to myself
This must be bad for my health
Oh my heart it strains when it says your name
But it's not open to anyone else
No it's not open to anyone else
If I fall down at your feet
Would you still walk out on me
If I fall down at your feet
I love the sound of your heart
I love the sound of your heart
And I can't pretend
That it's my fault again
But you press play at the easy part
And we all know how it will end
Oh yeah we all know how this will end
If I fall down at your feet
Would you still walk out on me
As I silently retreat
In the dark I hear you speak
Am I hot am I cold
I don't know I don't know
But I love the sound of your
I love the sound of your heart
I'm afraid
That you might just run away
And your heart beats out like a search light
And it's calling out my name
I love the sound of your heart [x7]
If I fall down at your feet
Are you still in love with me
As I silently retreat
In the dark I hear you speak
Am I hot am I cold
I don't know I don't know
But my heart it fades
Like a spark in the day
And the silence tears us apart
I love the sound of your heart
Whatever happened to this room
It used to be so good, and now the days pile on the floor
And the rain leaked through the crate paper we stuck up on the door
No more pictures on the wall
No more memories of holidays we took when we were two years younger than we are today
All I know is she never impressed by me
All I know is she never impressed by me
Broken bottles on the ground
Blown by the wind, shatter peice and walk among the plants
Collecting water and reflecting all the sounds they are reflecting all the sounds
All I know is she never impressed by me
All I know is she never impressed by me
It makes no difference can't you see
She's the one who needs to be
All I know is she never impressed by me
And the secret note that she wrote oh I'm special
Whatever happened to this room
Whatever happened to this room
Whatever happened to this room
Whatever happened to this room
All I know is she never impressed by me
All I know is she never impressed by me
It makes no difference can't you see
She's the one who needs to be
All I know is she never impressed by me
(Whatever happened to this room)
All I know is she never impressed by me
(Whatever happened to this room)
All I know is she never impressed by me
(Whatever happened to this)
(Whatever happened to this)
All I know is she never impressed by me
(Whatever happened to this room)
I'm back
In third world traffic
I'm dead amongst the static
It's coming through my ears
With a prayer mat at your feet
And a smoke that tastes so sweet
You can forget about the ones asleep
If only for one week
Inshalla
Inshalla
Inshalla
I'm standing
At an ancient treasure
But I'm dirty as a beggar
In a metal detector
And there's one thousand different ways
To say Inshalla
And there's many different ways
To spend a dollar
And even down here on the banks of river nile
Inshalla
Inshalla
Inshalla
Away away
Oh you're so far away
(Away away)
El fishawy cafe
(Away away)
I will forget my name
(Away away)
And there's one thousand different ways
To spend a dollar
And there's many different ways
To romance the gutter
And even down here
On the banks of river nile
Inshalla
Inshalla
Inshalla
Inshalla
Even down here
On the banks of river nile
You can forget about your name
If only for a while
Oh, yeah, yeah, yeah
Get in the car
You know the way
Going on a holiday
Up in the morn
Quarter to six
Frozen milk on weet bix
We'll see happier times
If we don't cross imaginary lines
On the back seat it'll be fine
Cause we got four hours to drive
That's if we get there alive oh yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
Stop on the way
Fill up the gas
Pity I can't feel my ass
Throw in the tape
You know the one
All the kids can sing along
We'll see happier times
If we don't cross imaginary lines
On the back seat it'll be fine
Cause we got four hours to drive
That's if we get there alive oh yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I think it's round the next bend
The post cards that I won't send
They're always full of shit
So you'll get over it
Oh, woh, woh, woh, yeah
Yeah, yeah, yeah
End of the day
Feel much the same
But going home is such a shame
Wait for a year
Cause you know then
We can do it all again
We'll see happier times
If we don't cross imaginary lines
On the back seat it'll be fine
Cause we got four hours to drive
That's if we get there alive oh yeah!
Yeah, yeah, yeah
I think it's round the next bend
The post cards that I won't send
They're always full of shit
So you'll get over it
Oh, woh, woh, woh, yeah
Leave the Monkeys at home
Get out of their face
Leave them alone
Cute as Monkeys may be
Weren't meant to be kept
In captivity
: CHORUS:
I like the zoo but it's time to give something back to
Monkeys and Tigers and Beavers and all that kind of stuff
Them into a cage
They'll sit there and age
If they don't die of boredom
Hey they'll break free one day
There'll be hell to pay
So maybe we oughta
All the time I took to make it here, you're so unkind
Everyone chose to let us in the back door
Chose to let us in
It's a crazy chord; they call it "B"
If you play it you will see
And write a song just like me
All the words I chose to write them down in this book yes I know
I only get around to reading it
I only get around
It's a crazy chord; they call it "B"
If you play it you will see
And write a song just like me oh
We've come to far
We've come to far
We've come to far
We've come to far
It's a crazy chord; they call it "B"
If you play it you will see
And write a song just like me
I don't wanna die
In a car crash with you
Tonight
Tonight
The roads are wet
And you're asleep at the wheel
Open your eyes
Open your eyes
Can't you try and wait
Till I'm wide awak
Or will it never come
And if it was a dream
Did you hear me scream
While you watched me sleep
The nighttime roads
Feel like we're floating away
Keep me safe
Kepp me safe
And if we make it home
Then I will know
I'm still asleep
Still asleep
Can't you try and wait
Till I'm wide awake
Or will it never come
And if it was a dream
Did you hear me scream
While you watched me sleep
I'm almost home
I can't make it on my own
Almost home
Baby don't go
Out on the roads
Tonight
I had a terrible dream
But it was only a dream
The American situation
Is on our minds again
And I don't know if I've been here before
We would try to go to sleep
But we're running around in circles
For fear of falling down we can't get up
And I wait for the morning light
To burn away the slings and arrows
flying through the night
And I am home
But I am not a man
They will try to take the things
That you can't hold down with your hands
So hold them down
A war across an ocean
Is like a dream from which you've woken
If you don't like what you see
then go to sleep
But the smell of smoke is in your hair
And your heavy heart is always there
It's always there
It's always there
It's always there
And I wait for the morning light
To burn away the slings and arrows
flying through the night
And I am home
But I am not a man
They will try to take your crown
If you can't hold it down
In the darkness of the winter time
I will try to take you home
In the long grass of evening time
And I wait for the morning light
To burn away the slings and arrows
flying through the night
And we must wait for this to pass us by
And I will try to close my eyes
I will try to close my eyes
And I wait for the morning light
To burn away the slings and arrows
flying through the night
And I am home
But I am not a man
I will try to take you home
If you can't hold it down
So hold it down
So hold it down
Drag me by the ankles
To the bottom of the ocean
There I'll stay forever
Until you come back from England
The London Bombs
I stayed up forever
Tried to call your number
But you were lost forever
In the early days of winter
The London Bombs
Dirty little town on the Thames is calling you away
I stay up forever
Try to find the answer
In the sun I wait for you
The London Bombs
Dirty little town on the Thames is calling you away
Am I all that they say that I am?
Am I spiralling away from these plans?
Do I drive too much when I'm drunk?
Do I preach to you all like a punk?
And I am...
Losing my mind
I'm losing my mind
Losing my mind
Losing my mind
Do I look like a man you might know?
When I breathe on your lips does it show?
Well we spent all the night like we were millionaires
And the world was alive with the fireworks
The fireworks in your stare
I'm losing my mind
losing my mind
Ohhhhhhhh
Ohhhhhhhh
Did they put you on their shoulders?
Show you all the sights?
When you got down did you still feel alright?
Well I've walked amongst the ruins
And there's no haunted heart
There is no bird that's singin for the light
I'm losing this fight
I'm losing this fight
Ohhhhh ohhhhh
ohhhhh ohhhhh
ohhhhh ohhhhh
I'm losing my mind
Did they put you on their shoulders?
Show you all the sights?
When you got down did you still feel alright?
Well I've walked amongst the ruins
And there's no haunted heart
There is no bird that's singing for the light
I'm losing my mind
This is a very privat moment
In a very public affair
And all the people pretend not to notice
But the back of their heads still stare
And I could tell you it's all my fault
If that's easier to digest
But this old wound just opens up
Like a key hole in my chest...
Hey, hey, I know it wasn't New York
Where I lost my mind.
Hey, hey, I know I must have left it
It was back home all the time.
And where were you while we lay
So drunk that we died?
Hey, Hey, I know, but who could blame us?
Under pressure
And I know
I know I should have stayed in bed.
Hey, hey, I know it's just a toothache
I won't even cry.
Hey, hey, the candy store prescriptions
All lined up in the aisles.
And where were you while we lay
Shipwrecked in denial?
Hey, hey, it's just a pill to help you
Sleep right through the night.
I should have stayed in bed.
And I know
I should have stayed in bed.
I know I should have stayed in bed because
Tomorrow's gonna be another party.
You stay too long until the lights get lonely.
Oh, tomorrow's gonna be another party
Wait too long til we
All stay out of the sun.
Sun.
A friend went away to another town
Where you set your watch to the sound of a pound
The first girl I loved soon followed it seemed
And when the second one went we were choosing teams
And baby she got hers and I got mine
But somehow everybody seemed to get on fine
But we were losing friends over love
Losing friends over love
When I went out just the other night
I said, "put your hands up, cause were gonna fight"
But who am I to act so tough
When I learn so little and forget so much
Now the heart will break when it hits the ground
So wake up little girl you're a woman now
But we were losing friends over love
Losing friends over love
Alright now
Some move forward and some move back
Some buy a ticket and don't come back
How did everything go wrong
We all just try to carry on
Some move up and some fall down
Some buy a ticket and leave this town
How did evrything go wrong
We all just try to carry on
No one says a word but there lips are poised
But everyone's got an opinion of course
And we were losing friends over love
Losing friends over love
All the stupid things you do at night
When you been up for three days
And your so uptight
And we where losing friends over love
Losing friends over love
We were losing friends over love
Losing friends over love
Alright now
Some move forward and some move back
Some buy a ticket and don't come back
How did everything go wrong
We all just try to carry on
Some move up and some fall down
Some buy a ticket and leave this town
How did everything go wrong
We all just try to carry on
She could run away to London
She could run overseas
A merry-go-round in another town
It all seems the same to me
Alright now
Some move forward and some move back
Some buy a ticket and don't come back
How did everything go wrong
We all just try to carry on
Some move up and fall down
Some buy a ticket and leave this town
How did everything go wrong
We all just try to carry on
Some move up and some fall down
Some buy a ticket and leave this town
How did everyhint go wrong
We all just try to carry on
Steady my shaky hands
Shut off the world's demands
to get the facts down
Do you understand?
That this is a foreign land
So try to understand that
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
Even when you're all alone
Even when it's not your home
Take a little look around
nothing else hits the ground
Touch my hand
up to the air
Dying in the foreign land
So do you understand that
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
Even when you're all alone
When it's not your home
I smell the blood of an Australian
Try to understand this if you can
if you can
if you can
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
This is what it feels to love
then l can feel that
Even when you're all alone
When it's not your home
And I've been waking up angry
It's gotta stop
All this childhood behaviour
And I know it seems hard
To be around
Like the son who was born to save me
Like a blanket of smoke
That is blown by the breeze
Like a morning snap shot of two people
On their way to the beach
And I know it seems hard
To be around
But I know it's gonna change
When the baby comes out
The headache starts when I try to stop
But I try once again cause I love you a lot
It's just childhood behaviour
And I've been waking up early
A lot
Like the whole world's in danger
And if I stay up
Too late
I look just like a tired stranger
Like a mouthful of smoke
That is blown through the trees
Like a morning snap shot of two people
With their face to the breeze
And I know it seems hard
To be around
But I know it's gonna change
When the baby comes out
The headaches start when I try to stop
But I try once again cause I love you a lot
It's just childhood behaviour
Like a mountain of smoke
I will crumble to the sea
Like a soldier coming home
I will fall to my knees
And I know it seems hard
To be around
But I knwo it's gonna change
When the babay comes out
The headaches start when I try to stop
But I try once again cause I love you a lot
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling for you
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling for you
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling for you
For you
Take a look at my eyes
I'm like a homeless man
And I'm trying to find
A safe place to stand
Take a look at my hand
I got a pocket of holes
And I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling for you
If this is a war
In a holy land
Then all of the sky
Should be tumbling down
The king's army will be gone for good
And I'm falling for you
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling for you
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling for you
And I fall for you
Like ashes to the ground
(Falling down to the lonely ground)
And I fall for you
But they never make a sound
(Falling down to the lonely ground)
I'm falling for you
There's no getting away
And no place to run
And by the look in your eyes
I should've carried a gun
I would've carried your heart
But it's covered in holes
And I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling for you
And I fall for you
Like ashes to the ground
(Falling down to the lonely ground)
And I fall for you
But they never make a sound
(Falling down to the lonely ground)
And I bleed for you
But the battle's never won
And I fall for you
But I'm always on the run
I'm falling
I'm falling
I'm falling for you
If these walls were sticks and wood
Ooooh
I'm so spaced out today
Ooooh
I could have slept for days
It's like a radar
And it comes
To you
From the sea
From the sea
From the sea
Ooooh
She's just so under pain
Ooooh
I'm so spaced out today
My head's a lead weight
And it comes
To you
From the sea
From the sea
From the sea
Hello hello oh hello
(The world repeats itself some how)
She knows she knows oh she knows
(The world repeats itself some how)
Only just beginning to know
She's only just beginning to know
Ooooh
There's just no oxygen
Ooooh
Why can't we just fall in
In the sea
Hello hello oh hello
(The world repeats itself some how)
She knows she knows oh she knows
(The world repeats itself some how)
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh oh-oh-oh oh-oh-oh-oh
oh-oh oh-oh-oh
Hello hello oh hello
(The world repeats itself some how)
She knows she knows oh she knows
(The world repeats itself some how)
Only just beginning to know
She's only just beginning to know
Early morning
The crows are calling
A left myself on the other side
Now I'm waiting for something
To get my out of anything
Or whatever kinda mess I got myself in again
Dawn again
And the funny thing is
You never know how good you got it
Till it all goes bad
So baby, don't get mad
Don't let it fly this time
I'm only tryna be your friend
Don't let it fly this time
I'm only tryna be your friend
Early warning's
The funeral mourners
Are putting on their stuff to get together
For the same old dance
When it's someones last
Don't let it fly this time
I'm only tryna be your friend
Don't let it fly this time
I'm only tryna be your friend
Don't let it fly this time
I'm only tryna be your friend
Don't let it fly this time
I'm only tryna be your friend
Don't let it fly this time (I'll give you days and days and days and I'm)
I'm only tryna be your friend
Don't let it fly this time (I'll give you days and days and days and I'm)
I'm only tryna be your friend
Sarah
Won't you tell me your name
I've been waiting here for hours
In the garden by the flowers
You're so shy
So just open your eyes
The boys all form a line
To be written out in time
A long, long, long, long time ago
Emergency
I think I'm falling apart
Emergency
I think I am losing the fight
And I don't know if I can do it
I don't know if I can try
I don't know if anyone asked me the reason I lied
She sighed
Sarah
Is she your new best friend?
One day it will end, you know it will
You're so shy
So just let it fall apart
Let it stumble in the dark
With the razors in your heart
A long, long, long, long time ago
Emergency
I think I'm falling apart
Emergency
I think I am losing the fight
And I don't know if I can do it
I don't know if I can try
I don't know if anyone asked me the reason I lied
She sighed
Emergency
I think I'm falling apart
Emergency
I think I am losing the fight
And I don't know if I can do it
I don't know if I can try
I don't know if anyone asked me the reason I lied
A handful of sand
Is all that you grab
As you're watching the money fall
Right through your hands
It took such a long, long time now
To build on demand
But this is a war in the cradle of
This modern man
Does this mean we're breaking up?
Like stones again?
A mouthful of glass
That cuts up your words
You better watch that nothing's falling out
Watching nothing is heard
Does this mean we're breaking up?
Like stones again?
It took a long, long, long, long time
To reverse, like a curse
It took a long, long, long, long time
Took long, long, long, long time
And these are the words in the pages of
And this is the law of unspoken love
And this is a war in the cradle of
This modern man
Does this mean we're breaking up?
You live so much, its like you're dying
You can't give up, you're body's trying
You build so tall its like you're flying
But rocks will fall; the sky keeps climbing
You're gonna lose everything
How does it feel
I'm not scared so much of trying
But don't look up you might start flying
You're gonna lose everything
How does it feel
Oh know
What I want to know is how does it feel
You're gonna lose everything
How does it feel
You live so much, its like you're dying
You can't give up, you're body's trying
You build so tall its like you're flying
This room is like the belly of a ghost
Swaying to the rhythm of a heart that is now lost
So tell me that I'm wrong
Tell me that tehre's a consequence
Or do you still remember me alive
Beating like a drum
I had a lot to drink last night
Now I'm feeling old
Is there anything that I can buy
That I have not sold
So tell me that I'm gone
From your state of mind
Do you still remember me alive
Do you still remember me alive
Beating like a ...
Drum that beats upon the floor
A shadow underneath teh door
I don't want to shoot this gun
But everything just stops
Like the beat of a drum
So tell me that I'm wrong
Tekk ne that there's a consequence
Or do you still remember me alive
I'm so tired my feet don't touch the ground
I love the sky so much
I just fall straight down
I'm so tired my feet don't touch the ground
I love the ocean so much I might even drown
She gets grumpy when she doesn't come
She says, "Hey boy you got all the fun"
Then she comes over
With the flowers in her hand
She gets clumsy when she's all alone
I say "baby, there's some things you just don't know"
Then she comes over
And puts her hand upon her heart and says
Oohh you could she her dance the seven veils
Oohh there are only four to fall away
She gets jealous
And asks me "Who was she"
I say "Patience" and put a kiss upon her cheek
Then she comes over
And says, "The two of us should never part"
Oohh you could she her dance the seven veils
Oohh there are only four to fall away
He's the one whose questions go unanswered most the time
Words
Words to keep from falling from her mouth
Even though she was a mirror in her-own time
That wasn't her
You know she was a spy
Oohh you could she her dance the seven veils
Oohh there are only four to fall away
No I won't be coming home this year
Smoke
If I keep smoking
This cold'll never go away
If I keep talking
I know you'll never come and stay
Stand the two up next to the other
Don't feel strange to me my
Lover
All I got here is books and music
I used to have exercise but I out
Grew it
I'm going home
And you go silent
Never know what to do
Just say it's cool
And I'll feel
O.K.
I feel cold next to the fire
It's an old story
But I think I like it
All I got here is books and music
I used to have exercise but I out
Grew it
I'm going home
And you go silent
Never know what to do
Just say it's cool
And I'll feel
O.K.
I feel cold next to the fire
It's an old story but I think I like it
Spend your days
In indecision
I got a lot of things on my mind this
Morning
I'm going home
And you go silent
Never know what to do
Just say it's cool
And I'll feel
O.K.
I feel cold next to the fire
It's an old story but I think I like it
Spend your days
In indecision
I got a lot of things on my mind this
Oh inner city streets
Where I sleep
I watched her take this romance
Home to me
I believe in something more
I watched her heart
Through bedroom doors
It's true
Eyes that are older than you
Oh echoes in the heart
When we meet
I chose to take this moment
To tell you I'm leaving
I believe in something more
I watched her heart
Through bedroom doors
It's true
Eyes that are older than you
Oh-oh-oh
Older than you
Oh-oh-oh
Older than you
And watch her count it up on one hand
Like lovers and ocean and land
And it keeps on going
Over and over and over again
I believe in something more
I watched her heart
Through bedroom doors
I believe in something more
I watched her heart
Through bedroom doors
It's true
I know my way around
I have found a map to take me there
I know you'd like to come along, won't take long
Spend all day sitting round, riding city buses into town
But oh, you can't move standing still
If you want some time apart then take a rest
If you want some piece of mind then mum knows best
You put your luggage down
And realise that you're lying on the ground
With all the people looking round, upside down
You kiss your wife goodnight
She tastes just like dreams and fever
Oh, you know you lost your way again
If you want some time apart, then take a rest
If you want some piece of mind then mum knows best
If you want some privacy then shut the door
If you're not quite satisfied then eat some more
There's nothing underneath your bed
Don't believe what your friend said
Go to heaven when you're dead
There's nothing underneath your bed
Don't believe what your friend said
See me come and see me go
In my fancy resturant
All the time you never know
No, I can't pay for any of it
Don't like the way you use your tongue
To get one up on me
Oh man, can't you see.
How do you think we got this far
I go, hey man, look at me sing
Oh man I got a brand new thing
It goes a bada, bada, bada hey man
Don't know what I was waiting for
See me passed out there on the floor
See that girl over there, dress her up all in my stare
Don't want any of you to leave
Keep you 'round just as scenery
Oh, man can't you see
Hey there young girl
Throw it up here
And I'll catch it in my tree
Throw it higher
If you bring a ladder
Then we can be near
That's no secret
I'll tell you all about it on your next birthday
You won't believe it
There is one thing that you can do for me
Let me show you what it is
When I wake up, in the morning
You look so good, you look so good
When I get up, when I'm yawning
You look so good, you look so good, to me.
Hey there, I know
Everybody else chose to get up too late
Wear our blue jeans
We keep a lot of pockets and some pants out back
Breakfast, Oh no!
You think I could have just an extra piece
We should go home
There is one thing that you can do for me
Let me show you what it is
When I wake up, in the morning
You look so good, you look so good
When I get up, when I'm yawning
You look so good, you look so good, to me
You won't believe it
You won't believe it
You won't believe it
You won't believe it
You won't be there
You won't be there
You won't be there
If you want to get elected
Get yourself represented
If you want to get selected
We can show you how to get that
If you want to get elected
Get yourself represented
If you want to get selected
We can show you where to get that
If you want to get elected
Get yourself represented
If you want to get selected
Slow Down, Your letting everybody down

Slow Down, Your letting everybody down
Slow Down, Your letting everybody down
Outside a marketplace on earth
There's a subject we all talk about
It's called girls and how they work
Last night while walking in the park
A strange kind of thought occurred to me
So I went to your house and told you
There is a place where people go
And it is worth its weight in gold
Out in the stars, up in the sky
There's a thing that they all talk about
It's called the opposite and how it works
Last night while walking past your house
I came across a man who said to me
It's out in the stars, up in the sky
There is a place where people go
And it is worth its weight in gold
They call this place the planet earth
Where you just know you're not the first
Oh, It's a low, it's a low, it's so many
Oh, It's a low, it's a low, it's so many
Oh, It's a low, it's a low, it's so many
Oh, It's a low, it's a low, it's so many
Oh, It's a low, it's a low, it's so many
Oh, It's a low, it's a low, it's so many
Oh, It's a low, it's a low, it's so many
Oh, It's a low, it's a low, it's so many
Oh, It's a low, it's a low, it's so many
There is a place where people go
And it is worth its weight in gold
They call this place the planet earth
Where you just know you're not the first
Where you just know you're not the...
1, 2, 3, 4
Needle in the back says I love you baby
One was a lion and the other was a flock of birds
Can tell me head from my heart much lately
One gets light while the other falls like her
And it always seems
Like the longest dream
When you're all alone
Is he coming home?
Round and round they fly, the needle dips into the dye and I'm yours
This is just the reason why the lion dies and no one tries to call
But he comes the rain again,
Falling down like words of avoidance
I said you're old enough to notice
So why do you let it get to you?
You try to call but no one, nobody noticed
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you?
You father left here when you were still tender
Nothing but your brown eyes looking for a painted wing
He said, "Honey take the kids to your mothers, I
Think I'm gonna lose control and I don't know why"
And it always seems
Like the longest dream
When you're all alone
Is he coming home?
But he comes the rain again,
Falling down like words of avoidance
I said you're old enough to notice
So why do you let it get to you?
You try to call but no one, nobody noticed
I said you're old enough to know this
And here comes the rain again
He's just running late again
You try to call but no one, nobody noticed
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you?
Come falling down like words of avoidance
I said you're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you?
You're old enough to notice
You're old enough to know this
So why do you let it get to you?
Old enough to notice
You're old enough to know this
Please Elise
Please Elise
Won't you

Use some comfort please Elise

Upon your pillow
In your room
That has no windows
Can I call when I get back home
Please Elise
Come rescue me

Won't get me to sleep

And say no words
Don't even speak
'Cause all I'm asking here

When we were kids
We'd never look down
We'd run off the edge
We'd never do it now
Do you remember?
Hey!
Broken sleep
Like that will make it better
Pull me deep
And do you remember?
Make that leap
Or maybe make it never
But I think I might make it soon
And maybe I was just too impatient
When I think about leaving school
When we were kids
We'd never look down
We'd run off the edge
We'd never do it now
When we were kids
We'd never look down
We'd run off the edge
We'd never do it now
Do you remember?
Breaking up
Like that will make it better
Fill my cup
And do you remember?
Walk the streets
And try to stay together
Is really feeling like something good
And maybe I was just too impatient
When I think about leaving you
When we were kids
We'd never look down
We'd run off the edge
We'd never do it now
When we were kids
We'd never look down
We'd run off the edge
We'd never do it now
Do you remember?
Hey!
Yeah, do you remember?
We'd run away, away, away
To the river but the river ran to the sea
We'd run away, away, away
To the river but the river ran,
The river ran to the sea
When we were kids
We'd never look down
We'd run off the edge
We'd never do it now
When we were kids
We'd never look down
We'd run off the edge
We'd run away, away, away
To the river but the river ran to the sea
We'd run away, away, away
To the river but the river ran,
The river ran to the sea
When we were kids
This is pressure
Stay away from me
If life is bigger, then what do you see
You're no better, no better than me
If this is pressure, show me
How you bleed
There is no romance in suffocation
The walls fall down like your expectations
You want to scream and you want to shout
But you've built up steam you can't let out
This is pressure
No you won't see me
Just ask your brother what he now believes
You're no better, no better than me
If this is pressure
Tell me what do you see
There is no romance in suffocation
The words fall out, like you're out of patience
You want to scream and you want to shout
But you've built up steam you can't let out
This is pressure
Pressure Now
Pressure come on down
There is no romance in suffocation
The walls fall down like your expectations
You want to scream and you want to shout
But you've built up steam you can't let out
There is no romance in suffocation
The words fall out like your out of patience
You want to scream and you want to shout
But you can't let out, no you can't let out
This is pressure
This is pressure
This is pressure
With lips that kiss
Words of teeth
And I was wrong
To let you know
So drink your coffee
And catch your bus
Cause I just want
My suicide girl
My social suicide girl
Poison in the wall
Razors in the apple core
She's my social suicide girl
She'll catch you in her way
Until everyone just stayes away
See these words
Sharp as knives
And I just want
To let it go
Seven stiches
In my head
And I just want my suicide girl
Oh girl
If her kiss is deep
Then you'l sleep
Gravestones lie
I'm a speeding car
And I can't slow down
But you're standing in the way
And I just can't find the brakes
I'm a speeding car
And I can't slow down
Did you stop when you hit the ground?
Did you break the speed of sound?
Well, hey, you're gonna have to wait
Till they say it's over, till it's all too late
And they never hesistate
Just know that I, I never went too far
And I'm a speeding car
Looking out of the window
And you're caught in the headlights
You taste just like shattered glass
Coming down from the overpass
Well, I'm a speeding car
Have I lost control? Oh no
Am I just what you're looking for?
Coming in through the open door
Well, hey, you're gonna have to wait
Till they say it's over, till it's all too late
And they, will never hesistate
Just know that I, I never went too far
And I'm a speeding car
Hey, you're gonna have to wait
Till they say it's over, till it's all too late
And they, will never hesistate
Just know that I, I never went too far
I, I never went too far
A rooster with a razor
Cuts a hole across the sky
As light falls down from the all-seeing eye
And I prop myself back up
With the friends that I keep
All I want from you is to try and get some sleep
And the traffic's like a symphony
At 3am
Building it's crescendo as the working day
Begins
But I just don't think I can wait
For the light of a new day to break
I try to close my eyes as the anxious feeling dies
Can you save me from desire?
Oh, the sky's on fire
Oh, the sky's on fire
Oh, the sky's on fire
I've been waiting for too long,
Staring at the sun
Waiting for the night to come,
So I can get things done
I can't wait for this no more,
My eyes have come undone
If my star will ever rise,
Let it be the only one
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun,
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young
You're forever young
Ice is just a remedy for pain and rising heat,
Hold it in your hands and watch the puddles form around your feet
And if you drink the water,
It might just stop the pain
From dreaming of the fever drowning holes around your name
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun,
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young,
You're forever young
If your scared about the future,
I'm scared about the past
And if your feeling ill, it's cause the world is spinning fast
Yeah you're staring at the sun,
Yeah you better all hold on
And watch the sky become the ground
Forever Young
And if I see you waiting for the setting sun,
It will never come
And if it ever comes, you're forever young,
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
And we're crying again
Fighting with our backs to the wall
While our bloods on fire
Love is a drug
But you still can't fool desire
But I'm trying
We lost total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Take what you want,
But you still can't fool desire
We lost total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Walking with our eyes to the sky
On a tight rope wire
Fight like a flame in the night
Till our hearts get tired
We're tryin'
Just one taste won't replace anything you want
Shoots up the droppers arms
Till you hit the floor
Now we're dying
We lost total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Take what you want,
But you still can't fool desire
We lost total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Fight like a flame in the night
Till your hearts on fire
We lost total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Take what you want,
But you still can't fool desire
We lost total control
We lost total control
Total control
We lost total control
Love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
I said that love is a drug
But the drug won't take me higher
Yes, love is a drug
Hey, whatever happened
To you last night?
We thought we lost you there
Those long days
And long, long nights
They keep you up inside
Stay awake all night
Talking about our friends, it never ends
Always do it when we're drunk
I just need kind of meditation
Keep my feet from
Falling off the ground
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh
Life is better with you
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh
Life is better with you
Oooh yeah
See the people on the street
Hear the sound of their feet
It just seems to me
There's not too many people
It makes the world we love, seem grey
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh
Life is better with you
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh
Life is better with you
Oooh yeah
Happens all the time
People pass you by
Like everyone you know
They are changing through and through
You really did not think it would last
But that's all in the past
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh
Life is better with you
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh
Life is better with you
See the people on the street
Hear the sound of their feet
Like everybody that you know
Is setting out, want you to go
(Life is better with you
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh
Life is better with you
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh
Life is better with you
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh
Life is better with you
La, la, la, woah-oh-woah-oh

Sit and talk to girls at 24
I promised them the world and sometimes more
I set upon a path of destruction
That left me with a hunger for seduction
And it just don't feel like it used to
And it sure don't feel like it did
And it just don't feel like it used to
Anymore
Sit and talk to men at 28
Told 'em that the payments coming late
I spent a lot of years just running
Wondering where I'm gonna find the money
Oh, and it just don't feel like it used to
And it sure don't feel like it did
And it just don't feel like it used to
Anymore
No, no, no
I'm never sure
I'm still looking for more
History's a needle full of poison
You can put a man to sleep with all the secrets that you try so hard to keep
And dare not ever speak
Oh, no, no
And it just don't feel like it used to
And it sure don't feel like it did
And if nothing is below me or above me
Well I don't mind
No, no, no
And I won't lie
I'm still looking for more
It just don't feel like it used to
Oh, it just don't feel like it used to
I'm still looking for more
You've got a terrible itch
I find it hard to scratch
And I could be a ragged claw but still it wouldn't hold you back
And you've got a fascination
With never hanging round
And I could be a heavyweight but still it wouldn't hold you down
You're never alone (Watching you now, watching you now)
You're never alone (Watching you now, watching you now)
But you've been hanging around, downtown
While you're playing around, baby
Wherever you go, you know, I'll be
Watching you now, watching you now
You've got a terrible itch
You scratch till you bled
And even if you're innocent baby, you're hands are still painted red
And now you're never alone (Watching you now, watching you now)
You're never alone (Watching you now, watching you now)
But you've been hanging around, downtown
While you're playing around, baby
Wherever you go, you know, I'll be
Watching you now, watching you now
Hanging around, downtown
While you're playing around, baby
Wherever you go, you know, I'll be
Watching you now, watching you now
You're never alone (Watching you now, watching you now)
You're never alone (Watching you now, watching you now)
But you've been hanging around, downtown
While you're playing around, baby
Wherever you go, you know, I'll be
Watching you now, watching you now
Hanging around, downtown
While you're playing around, baby
Wherever you go, you know, I'll be
Black fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you all mine
A lot of people, underground
You wanna get there, you gotta go straight down
Straight down
There's a culture, everywhere
Smoke clouds hang in the air
It's so loud, can't hear you talk
You and I, should take a walk downtown
Straight down
Downtown
Straight down
The argument over God continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
All of us stand and point our fingers
Straight down
Red letter day, black heart
It's gonna tear you all apart
So loud, can't hear you call
You and I are gonna fall straight down
Straight down
Downtown
Straight down
The argument over God continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
Argument over all continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
Straight down
Straight down
Straight down
Black fingernails, red wine
I wanna make you all mine
A lot of people, underground
You wanna get there, you gotta go straight down
The argument over God continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
At the ground
Argument over all continues
In this house
All of us stand and point our fingers
Straight down
Straight down
Johnny took a ticket to London
Jenny took a ticket to Spain
Jenny fell in love with a movie star
And ran away to live in LA
I stayed home to count my luck
And ended up living like a garbage truck
I can't throw away these useless things
That have no place, but I try
And I tried to disregard that lonely life
But to hang on to your heart
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
I keep running, I keep running
But they're chasing me down like a memory
I keep running, I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past say
Can I get peace in the distance?
Can I get further away?
I saw you in a suit last Saturday night,
And, man, I gotta say you have aged
So tell me what I look like in your eyes,
Am I the same enemy that you despise?
Well, 5 years should have been long enough
To forget the past but I try
And I tried to disregard that lonely life
But to hang on to your heart
Like a ghost
Like a ghost
I keep running, I keep running
But they're chasing me down like a memory
I keep running, I keep running
But you never get away from your history
I keep running
I hear the ghosts of the past say
See me now, while you're running
I'm walking all over your grave
Watch me now, motherfucker
I'm running all over your grave
So keep running, keep running
'Cause I'm chasing you down like a memory
Keep running, keep running
But you'll never get away from your history
So keep running, keep running
'Cause I'm chasing you down like a memory
Keep running, keep running
But you'll never get away from your history
So keep running
1, 2, 3, 4
So long,
Was it the prettiest face that you know
And hold on,
Is it real? Is it real when you don't even know,
What you feel
Oh no, woah-o, woah-o
Well, I took the pity
The pity from your pocket
This is real, this is real
And nothing's gonna stop it, oh no
You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away
How long?
And is there anything else I should know
Well I took the pity
The pity from your pocket
This is real, this is real
And nothing's gonna stop it, oh no
You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away
Oh no, woah-o, woah-o
Well I took the pity,
The pity from your pocket
This is real, this is real
And nothing's gonna stop it, oh no
You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away
Your light fades out like another day
You gave it all away
Oh no, woah-o, woah-o
I shut my eyes and the world is bare
The they open up and I'm born again
Like an empty space in an empty bed
Oh, there's a sound that keeps repeating
Goin' faster as I leave
It goes, oh-woah-o-oh
Oh-woah-o-oh
I can hear an echo when I'm with you
And I can't seem to let go
Baby I hear an echo when I'm with you
Oh-woah-oh
Well I see your face in the shadow moon
Where the echoes dance with the ghosts of you
Like an empty space in an empty room
Oh, there's a sound that keeps on beating
Goin' faster as I leave
It goes, oh-woah-o-oh
Oh-woah-o-oh
I can hear an echo when I'm with you
And I can't seem to let go
Baby I hear an echo when I'm with you
I can hear an echo when I'm with you
And I can't seem to let go
Baby I hear an echo when I'm with you
Oh-woah-oh
Oh-woah-o-oh
Oh-woah-o-oh
A hundred thousand times it keeps repeating
Can you hear it?
I can hear an echo
I can't seem to let go
Maybe I hear an echo?
Oh-woah-o-oh
I can hear an echo when I'm with you
And I can't seem to let go
Baby I hear an echo when I'm with you
When I'm with you
Maybe I can't let go of that feeling?
Just last night I felt a fright
Like a thousand arms were holding on to tight
I tried to reach for you
My hands were closed but you fell right through
And I just can't stop you slipping away from me
I just can't stop you slipping away
Well, I'm calling, can you hear?
And I'm drowning in the fear
It's pulling me under,
I'm drowning in the fear
Drowning in the fear
Just last night I felt so scared
Like a thousand armies marching for the dead
I tried to find my way
Back to the place where I could make you stay
And I just can't stop you slipping away from me
I just can't stop you slipping away
Well, I'm calling, can you hear?
And I'm drowning in the fear
It's pulling me under,
I'm drowning in the fear
Drowning in the fear
And I just can't stop you slipping away from me
I just can't stop you slipping away,
I'm drowning in the fear
And I just can't stop you slipping away from me
I just can't stop you slipping away from me
I just can't stop you slipping away from me
I just can't stop you slipping away from me
Well, I'm going under here
And I'm calling, can you,
Don't look now, 'cause it's pulling me under,
I'm drowning in the fear
Drowning in the fear
And I just can't stop you slipping away from me
I just can't stop you slipping away,
So get up off the floor
I heard it all before
Only coming down
It'll pass before too long
So get up off the ground
Heard it all before
Need a little more
I'm anxious and I'm bored
Some things you can't afford
So get up off the floor
Seven eleven, keep me warm
I don't wanna get too cold
There's some things you can't afford
But they'll cost you anyway
Forget so easily
Just what it does to me
Blisters on my skin
My body's caving in
From the pressure of this thing
I will be the one
Who laughs through all this fun
I'm stronger than the rest
When I'm at my best
There's some things I must confess
Seven eleven, keep me warm
I don't wanna get too cold
There's some things you can't afford
But they'll cost you anyway
Don't look so suprised
Open up your eyes
You know, you know
Don't look so suprised
Open up your eyes
You know, you know
Hey you, sleep up
You dream deeper
Hey you, sleep up
You dream deeper
