LYRICS

Anything for Myself

I clear myself again, I knew I couldn't keep anything to myself

I'm sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, sorry, but I just forgot

Shut your mouth, you pretty girl

When he comes around you didn't eat that much

Sweet lies just to make you feel ok

 

I know why

I know why

 

This little boy sold all the love he ever felt

He took his little toy and threw it down the stairs

I didn't know in the beginning it's an addiction

To tell them those big secrets while they laugh behind my back and yes

 

I know why

I know why

I can't keep anything to myself

I wanna trust you all

 

It's alright, she apologized

You can sleep, she hopes that's what he'll say

That he'll understand and he doesn't mind

She sees what's happening and that is enough

The next time I can keep it to myself

Dee-Dee

I'm not driving around to follow you Dee-Dee

I'm just living the life, you're just always there

I'm not tracing your movements, to see if you saw me

I'm just feeling the feelings and I feel I still care

And you're always there

 

But I'm not running the horses, to make sure I will catch up

I am moving around to find my own place

I'm not spying on you, or trying to interrupt

I'm just looking around and I keep seeing your face

And it seems in place

 

And I smile a bit and I say hello

Thinking, she is there, is it so

That my thinking's done the greatest part

Makes her show up many places

And it fills my heart

Still got that picture of you

With all I think you are

 

And I smile a bit and I say hello

Thinking, she is there, is it so

That my thinking's done the greatest part

Makes her show up many places

How it fills my heart

Still got that picture of you

With all I think you are

Gotta Do This and That

He had time but he never cared to use it

He had faith but he lost it on the way

Now he's tired and rushing as his life goes by

Now he's worried all day, 'cause he

 

Gotta do this and he gotta do that and he gotta do too much

And he gotta live life, and he gotta get wife, as he's losing touch

And he gotta be quick and he gotta be square and gotta get around

And he gotta breathe out and he gotta breathe in

And hope that he'll be found

 

Used to walk in fields among the flowers

Used to cycle, stop and look up to the sky

Now the challenge is to find himself a taxi

Get to the airport and fly, 'cause he

 

Gotta do this and he gotta do that and he gotta do too much

And he gotta live life, and he gotta get wife, as he's losing touch

And he gotta be quick and he gotta be square and gotta get around

And he gotta breathe out and he gotta breathe in

Hope that he'll be found

 

Had a girl but he didn't pay attention

To her beauty back then when he was young

He remembers how she used to lay in his arms

Peaceful days, but that's all gone, 'cause he

 

Had to do this and he had to do that and he had to do too much

And he had to live life, had to get wife, as he lost touch

And he had to be quick and he had to be square and he had to get around

He had to breathe out

 

He's finally found on the ground

Laying on his back

Had a heartattack

Slip

I had that voice once when I was so little

I had my days when I layed on your rooftop

He, he knows everything, G he also knows you

He knows everything and I thought I knew him

 

I felt the hands, push it into my flame

And I won't feel a thing, damn you

Didn't try, you just went on

And made my eyes long for

Him, he knows everything, G he also knows you

I thought anything would pass if he could

 

All your hands and fingers, all your slimey things

All your love, all your hatred

Made a girl ruin her own world

Your peace, hey I don't know where it went to

It ain't funny no more, you were the thing

And you try to, try to, try to, try to make me feel again

Well I won't, but I'll

 

I

How you made me slip

And everybody's happy, everybody's free

And everybody's winking at the flower

That once belonged to me

In the Way

I daresay I gave you too much

And everytime we touched

I only wanted the best for you

 

I daresay I might be naive

'Cause I truly believed

Only I am the best for you

 

But there are other skies for you, to look at

And clouds drifting by can make you forget

That at some point you liked me too

In the way, I do you

 

I daresay we had real good times

And I hope you're fine

I only want the best for you

 

I daresay I'll take my freedom

Write another song

While I only want the best for you

 

And if in the tall grass, boy you'll lay

Maybe you will see me drifting by

And remember, you liked me too

In the way, I do you

Apple Crumble

Life, this is it

You bake a cake, you like the taste

But not everyone likes it the way you do

You can't fit every shoe

Can't please everyone

For when they are gone

You're left with the crumbles

 

Apple pie, apple crumble

Life is yummy, my tummy rumbles

 

My apple crumble's vaguely interesting

The rotten apples I threw out

The sugar's sweet of life's mysteries

Another piece, make it a big one

I'm allowed

 

Life, this is it

You play the game, to win's your aim

But not everyone plays it the way you do

Can't cheat your way through

Can't beat everyone

For sometimes you're wrong

Don't break into pieces

 

Peace man, a bad loser

Should, huff and puff on a peace pipe

 

My apple crumble's vaguely interesting

The rotten apples I threw out

The sugar's sweet of life's mysteries

Another piece, make it a big one

I'm allowed, I'm allowed

 

Another piece of cake, I'm allowed

Another piece of cake, I'm allowed

In Your Head Some More

No worries, I'm ok, gentle also honest

I would love to stay in your head some more

You're working many hours

Listening to the sounds I love

Me, I'm counting those hours

They go on and on and on and on

 

Be yourself my love, you are perfect

Just the way you are is ok

But smile some more my love

I find you attractive

 

If you had the urge to run and hide

I'd begg you to stay

If you were a piece of chocolate

I would save you for the rainy days

If you needed the embrace

I would hold you in my arms

And if you wouldn't mind me staying

I'd stay always

Let Your Girl

Let your girl storm off into the rain

Let your girl run off, never see her again

You broke her heart

 

Let your girl scream like a banshee in the night

All she wanted was for you, to hold her tight

That was all, it was all

 

Doggy we go walking, without a leash, we don't need a leash

Wasn't much to ask

 

Let your mind wander, move onto the new

Let your mind ponder, why she isn't with you

You broke her heart

 

Let your mind freeze when you realize

You have caused the pain in her eyes

 

Let the flame die out, it don't mean a thing

Let the flame vanish, nothing more than a fling

 

Let the flame leave you even though it was there

Pull back in silence, pretend you don't care

You don't care

 

Doggy we go walking, without a leash, we don't need a leash

Doggy we go walking, without a leash, we don't need a leash

Doggy we go walking, without a leash, we don't need a leash

Doggy we go walking, without a leash, we don't need a leash

 

Let your girl storm off into the rain

Let your girl run off, never see her again

Never see her again

Never see her again

 

Missing you already, such a silly thing

Missing you already, such a pretty thing

Missing you already, such a silly thing

Missing you already, you're my pretty thing

Normal

I've got my words and I've got my smile

Can take me far, a little while

But not too long, a mask can't last

My sociability may fade fast

 

I don't understand so why should you

No use investigating what and how I do

All I know is things seem better in a way

But at the same time, I'm off much worser today

 

So how come we never notice anything

How come when we see you, you are well

Well, you won't see me the weeks when I'm hiding

Regenerating in my own shell, hell

 

Handicapped, some say

Psychologically not ok

But how come you look so normal, normal

Arms, legs and a heart

And you seem really really smart

Nothing's wrong with you, you're normal, normal

But a broken heart and head are hard to mend

 

I've got my hurt and my guitar

Combine the two and you've got a star

But a star to be, can't follow her fate

If she can't even stand straight

 

I try to say no, don't you push me through

I can't live, the way you do

I need space and I need time

I need a place to call mine

 

How come you seem strong and so able

How come we all don't have a clue

Well the days I experience in silence

My good days I save up, to spend with you

 

Handicapped, some say

Psychologically not ok

But how come you look so normal, normal

Arms, legs and a heart

And you seem really really smart

Nothing's wrong with you, you're normal, normal

 

Handicapped, some say

Psychologically not ok

But how come you look so normal, normal

Arms, legs and a heart

And you seem really really smart

Nothing's wrong with you, you're normal, normal

But a broken heart and head are hard to mend

The Core

Waiting for the rain to come down

Waiting for the sky to burst

Remembering your face, its frown

I'm letting go of all the hurt

 

Waiting for the tears to dry

Waiting for my sun to shine

I handed you the core of me

Now you've given back what's mine

 

Waiting for the rain to come down

Waiting for the sky to burst

Remembering your face, its frown

I'm letting go of all the hurt

Raining Lives

Fifteen years wasted

A whole life thrown away

Yeah I'm young, yeah I'm strong

But does it help me

 

It may be that I died because I love you

I didn't want to feel no pain

Maybe I was the only one to agree deep inside

I wasn't looking for someone to blame

 

Do you remember I cried

Do you remember the pain

Do you remember the day that I died

It must have been raining

 

And little, little girls love their father

They long to be around their dad

Even though daddy is not like that, I love him

Who would want to change that

 

Fine it is to not live in this world

To walk around and to not see

That it's raining lives

It's raining lives

From your bloody sky lord

 

Do you remember I cried

Do you remember the pain

Do you remember the day that I died

It was raining lives

Love Is so Much Fun

For the 23^rd time

I told you: do what you gotta do

After all it's up to you

If you wanna see me or you don't

 

It's all priorities

And ranking on your list

On yours I don't excist

But I guess I won't die

 

But I'll hurt

And I'll cry, my heart, my poor heart

I wanna be your number one

Yeah, I'll hurt

Oh, love is so much fun

 

For the very first time

I thanked the sky for what I've got

Although you I have not

I'm still blessed I guess

 

And my priorities

I wrote them down on my list

On which you don't excist

And you can guess the reasons why

 

'Cause I'll hurt

And I cry, my heart, my poor heart

I wanna be your number one

Yeah I hurt

Oh, love is so much fun

 

Here I got it, crumbled up inside my palm

Goals and wishes, all belong to me

Here I got it, to remember I am strong

I am my own number one

I am my own number one

 

But I still hurt

And I cry, my heart, my poor heart

I wanna be your number one, yeah I hurt

Oh, love is so much fun

Time Tick Tocked

Polishing our spoons

Till they shined oh so bright

Polishing our spoons

Like mirrors in the night

 

I could see myself in you

All reflective and so true

They felt like happy spoons to me

But you didn't want me to be

A mirror to you

 

Such a pity, such a shame

And you know no-one's to blame

I am still in love with you, you know that

Such a waste and such a crime

You and me, we had good times

But time tick tocked

And I have to go away

 

Holding out our spoons

Lay 'm down in the bed

I remember when we layed like spoons

I remember everything you said

 

I could be content with us

I was happy, I made no fuss

I thought we'd fit perfectly

But you didn't want me to be

A mirror to you

 

Such a pity, such a shame

And you know no-one's to blame

I am still in love with you, you know that

Such a waste and such a crime

You and me, we had good times

But time tick tocked

And I have to go away

Terror in the Tin

Terror in the tin

Terror in the tin

Terror in the tin

Terror in the tin

 

You can hold me (terror in the tin, terror)

You can hold me (terror in the tin, terror)

You can hold me (terror, terror)

You can hold me (terror)

 

Love, I am only human

Love, I am only me

Terror in the tin

And all that love, love, love still remained

Spoonfed hatred

But still love it flows from me

Like a child, like a child

 

You can hold me

You can hold me

You can hold me

You can hold me

 

Love, I am only human

Love, I am only me

Bottle up the fear

And here's another year, but I still have love

Spoonfed hatred

But love will always come from me

Like a child, like a child

 

If nothing's what I'm having I'll be

Happy either way

 

You can hold me

You're My World

So I wrote the song

Full of love, full of faith

Nothing would ever take away

The fact that's It's All Good

No hunters could tear our love down

 

You decided full of passion or shit

There couldn't be a future in it

Is it so fucking hard to divide your time

Between two hundred sheep and a girl

You said was so fine

 

You're my world

You're my dreams

Even though it may seem

We don't spend that much time

I need you to remain mine

 

I can't lay me down

Not without a fight

I'll give it my all, I try as I might

March towards to the top, singin my sad refrain

My love will always remain

 

You're my world

You're my dreams

Even though it may seem

We don't spend that much time

I need you to remain mine

We're Working on It

I see Joan's alone half of the time

Yeah, she's so lonely

But she never moans on the phone

She hides it all from me

 

And I myself ain't right or bright all the time

But I'll keep a straight face or a smile

You see the better part of me

Half the world is just as distressed as me

But honestly, we're working on it

 

I saw that Curt was hurt many a time

By some old girlie

So now he fills himself with largers

Just so that no-one will see

 

And I myself ain't clean of hiding from the pain

With a broken heart it just ain't the same

I lost a part of me

And half the world is just as distressed as me

But hey, the fairies, are working on it

 

People gather round I say

I can't fix you up today

But I'll lalala

Never mind the shit you're in

You'll feel a bit better if you sing

Lalala Lalala

 

I know Phil is ill most of the time

Hell he's only three

But like a good dog he doesn't show

Like he's protecting me

 

And I myself ain't strong or wise all the time

Yeah, I assure you, this ol' mask ain't really mine

It shows the best part of me

And the world is just as distressed as me

But hey, I'm working on it

 

People gather round I say

I can't fix you up today

Lalala

Never mind the shit you're in

You'll feel a bit better if you sing

Lalala Lalala

Magic Carpet Ride (Demo)

Looking good and in good working order

If you got a trick up your sleeve you better show it

You're looking good and in good working order

If you got a magic wand well use it, baby

 

If you had some wishes but never told a soul

I say you're a wizard

You can make dreams come true

 

Magic carpet ride, do not hide

Go skinny dipping, have the best of times

Magic carpet ride, do not hide

But shine

 

Looking good and in good working order

It's a kind of magic how you woo me, baby

Looking good and in good working order

If you got those dancing shoes

Then beat the drum and move

 

If you had some wishes but never told a soul

I say you're the captain

You're in control of your

 

Magic carpet ride, do not hide

Go skinny dipping, have the best of times

Magic carpet ride, do not hide

But shine

Shine

Shine

Shine

Deliver This Envelope

No tall, no tall buildings

No fast, no fastfood chains

And underneath my powerful attempts to break with it

The longing still remains

 

No fight, no fighting neighbours

No boys, no boys or girls

And underneath the sheets I've buried wishes and goals

A wish to see the world

 

And to carry this child

To deliver this envelope

Full of my love

Full of hope

I have forgotten where to now

I have forgotten my name

I have forgotten the pleasures

Will I feel happy again

 

No man, no man for a daddy

No warm, no warm embrace

And underneath these rocks I'm playing dead secretly

But I'm longing to show my face

 

No rain, no rainbow out there

No pot, no pot of gold

And underneath the carpet I've swept all the mistakes

I think I do, want to get old

 

And to carry this child

To deliver this envelope

Full of my love

Full of hope

I have forgotten where to now

I have forgotten my name

I have forgotten the pleasures

Will I be happy again

'Cause I have forgotten where to now

I have forgotten my name

I have forgotten the pleasures

Will I be happy again

Will I be happy again

Here's to Hoping for the Best

Looked it in the eye

And thought of impossible things

Like the healing of hearts

That were forever scarred

 

Lost in a spin and left in the dark

They grew so cold and expected nothing more

And they gave up hope

 

Here's to hoping for the best

And here's to hoping for the happily ever after

Here's to hoping hope will remain

Like a powerful refrain

Let it come back to us

Whoever needs it the most

Whoever needs it the most

 

Open arms and open eyes

Toss away the fear

And find the will to try

 

Those mountains are forever calling me now

And I'll climb

The rest of my life

 

But here's to hoping for the best

And here's to hoping for the happily ever after

Here's to hoping hope will remain

Like a powerful refrain

Let it come back to us

Whoever needs it the most

Whoever needs it the mos

It's True

Falling for those eyes

Falling for the nose

Falling for the heart

I suppose

 

Stolen was your heart

Stolen was your smile

If you were mine

I could be lovely, yes

 

But I'd drive you nuts

I'd drive you round the bend

Show you a kind of love

That you wouldn't understand

And it isn't good

I don't think I'd be any good

Caring for myself is hard enough, it's true

But I do care for you

 

Clean away the shame

Clean away the pain

Clean away the tears

That I've shed

 

Stolen was my pride

Stolen was my faith

If you were mine

You could be lovely, yes

 

But you'd drive me nuts

You'd drive me round the bend

Show me a kind of love

That I wouldn't understand

And it isn't good

I don't think I'd be any good

Caring for yourself is hard enough, it's true

But I do care for you

 

Oh I'd drive you nuts

I'd drive you round the bend

Show you a kind of love

That you wouldn't understand

And it isn't good

I don't think we'd be any good

Caring for myself is hard enough, it's true

But I do care for you

Whatever's the Matter (Soundscape)

Instrumental

Early Morning Song

In love with one that isn't

And not in love with one that is

Please mother nature be kind

And help me out a little bit

 

Just because it's cozy to share the evening

Just because it's warmer and nice in your bed

Because your fingers they light up my skin

And you make my cheeks tingle

With the things you've said

 

I like you

I like you

And I liked you so much

I didn't realize all this time

I was in love

 

I like you

I like you

And I liked you so much

I didn't realize all this time

I was in love

 

I'm in love with one that isn't

And not in love with one that is

Please mother nature be kind

Help me out a little bit

 

Just because it's cozy to share the evening

Just because it's warmer and nice in your bed

Because your fingers they light up my skin

And you make my cheeks tingle

With the things you've said

 

I like you

I like you

And I liked you so much

Didn't realize all this time

I was in love

 

I like you

I like you

And I liked you so much

Didn't realize all this time

I was in love

 

Didn't realize all this time

I was in love

Slow Down

Oh I don't know you

And I don't know the road that we're on

Oh I don't know you

I'm not used to taking it slow

I'm ussually speeding down the lane

Falling in love and feeling quite insane

 

But something's telling me

To slow down, slow down

Some things are meant to grow

While you slow down, slow down

 

Oh I don't know when

And I don't know how to go from here

Oh I don't know 'cause I not used to anybody

making themselves so clear

I'm getting to know your tender way

But how can I trust that's how you'll stay

 

Something's telling me

To slow down, slow down

Some things are meant to grow

While you slow down, slow down

 

I'm gonna take it from here

Follow the signs

If I find on the horizon

I'll know with all my heart

You are mine

 

Something's telling me

To slow down, slow down

Some things are meant to grow

While you slow down, slow down

 

Something is telling me

I need to take my time

Hold On

We're dancing in the shade all day long

We hug and play and sing silly songs

And when the sun let's the moon shine

You're in my arms and I know you're mine

 

Just tell me stories about the sea

How happy you were when you met me

And sing the songs that I've held so dear

Your loving whisper, warm in my ear

 

Let's hold on my love

There's no need for you to be uptight

Hold on my love

We will hold eachother tonight

Hold on to me

And I'll hold onto you

Hold on to me

And I'll hold onto you

 

We hold the love so tight in our hands

And cherish all the time that we have

I reassure you, just so you know

Love will be here, love won't go

 

Let's hold on my love

There's no need for you to be uptight

Hold on my love

We will hold eachother tonight

Hold on to me

And I'll hold onto you

Hold on to me

And I'll hold onto you

Hold on to me

And I'll hold onto you

I'll hold onto you

Unscrew Me

Screw the fact that she's gonna have your baby

Screw the fact that she's been screwing you

Screw the fact that you wouldn't want any other

Screw the facts although they're true

 

Screw the fact that I could live my life without you

Screw the fact that I could be real happy too

Screw the fact that I could get any other lover

Screw it, 'cause I want you

 

Screw the fact that she's got a good set of brains on her shoulders

Screw it that she's more capable than me

Screw it, I'm a loose cannon and a whirling dervish

Screw it, unscrew me

 

Screw the fact that she's stronger and prettier

Screw the fact that you chose her above me

Screw the possibility that you were

Screwing her eyeballs out in the midst of sheep and trees

 

And if you think you're like a book, that I've read and returned

If you think you're like a loveletter that I'll burn

You got the wrong end of the stick, 'cause that's not how it goes

You'll stick like a frog in my throat

 

And if you think you're like a book, that I've read and returned

If you think you're like a loveletter that I'll burn

You got the wrong end of the stick, 'cause it's not how it goes

You'll stick like a frog in my throat

 

Screw the fact that she's gonna have your baby

Screw the fact that she's been screwing you

Screw the fact that you wouldn't want any other

Screw the facts, I want you

Loveliest Friend

I found you back last night

And you were laughing and talking and smiling

Like we hadn't missed a beat

All those years, dissapeared and we were there

Like we never said goodbye

 

You know, you were the prettiest

You know, you were the loveliest friend

 

Madness like sadness, kicks its heels in the sand

Looking at us trying to run that extra mile

Headed one direction

You found yourself in a backward situation

With your head playing tricks on you again

And you were doing so well

 

You know, you were the prettiest friend

You know, you were the loveliest friend

 

Googling your name but I never find anything

Could it be you found a way out like Marianne

And a big train

Googling your name but I never find anything

Could it be you found a way out like Marianne

And a big train

Loco, loco, locomotive

 

I don't mind you visiting me at night

It's my only chance to see that smile again

'Cause I've no clue, where you are

And if you're still in the real world

Then maybe you've losst your head

 

You know, you were the prettiest

You know, you were the loveliest friend

 

Googling your name but I never find anything

Could it be you found your way out like Marianne

And a big train

Googling your name but I never find anything

Could it be you found a way out like Marianne

And a big train

Loco, loco, locomotive

 

You know, you were the loveliest friend

But where did that get you in the end

This Dung (Demo)

We got a lot of bullshit

And so later I was used to

Throwing myself in the dung

 

Wether it had a scent or didn't

Wether it was the best manure

It was all I knew, it was all I knew

 

I trusted myself to roll in it

Like it was money, it was wine

But then it started to smell fishy

When I woke up and I realised

It is my time

 

So, don't give me shit

I had enough of it

You've been saving it up in a plastic cup

Sling your hook, get outta my face

Grace, grace, grace, you're a disgrace

 

We got a lot of bullshit

And so later I was used to

We got a lot of bullshit, bullshit

And so later I was used to

Throwing myself in the dung

 

Wether it had a scent or didn't

Wether it was the best manure

It was all I knew, it was all I knew

 

I trusted myself to roll in it

Like it was money, it was wine

And then it started to smell fishy

When I woke up and I realised

It is my time

 

So, don't give me shit

I had enough of it

You've been saving it up in a plastic cup

Sling your hook, get outta my face

Grace, grace, grace, you are a disgrace

Me In Yours, Darling

Happy, happy

Just to see you

Just to watch you be yourself

Happy, happy

Just to hear you

Call out my name

It sounds better that way

 

Happy, happy

Just to know you

Can be at ease when I'm around

Happy, happy

Just to hold you

And my arms are happy, happy

Cause they found you in there

 

You in my arms and me in yours, darling

You in my arms and me in yours

You in my arms and me in yours, darling

You in my arms and me in yours

 

Happy, happy

Just to be here

Just to sit and hold your hand

Happy, happy

To be quiet

No words could say

What I'm feeling for you

 

You in my arms and me in yours, darling

You in my arms and me in yours

You in my arms and me in yours, darling

You in my arms and me in yours

You in my arms and me in yours, darling

You in my arms and me in yours

You in my arms and me in yours, darling

You in my arms and me in yours

Wet Paws Do Dry

Paws in the snow

Darling it'll be freezing

And you don't wanna go

But there's no other way

 

'Cause if you stay you'll be bored

Out of your mind

And if you stay

You'll have cold feet anyway

If you travel through the storm

You'll find your own way home and

Don't worry babe

Wet paws do dry

 

Paws in the rain

Better get out that raincoat

I know you'll come back again

But now there's just no way

 

'Cause if you stay you'll be bored

Out of your mind

And if you stay

You'll have cold feet anyway

If you travel through the storm

You'll find your own way home and

Don't worry babe

Wet paws do dry

 

Your cold feet will warm up

Cold feet will warm

And you won't be frightened

And you won't be afraid anymore

 

Your cold feet will warm up

Cold feet will warm

And you won't be frightened

And you won't be afraid anymore

 

Your cold feet will warm up

Cold feet will warm

And you won't be frightened

And you won't be afraid anymore

And you won't be frightened

And you won't be afraid anymore

And you won't be frightened

And you won't be frightened
