Crush
on you
I’m a zombie in the moonlight. I’m sleepin’ when it’s daylight. I really
should be alright, but I’m feelin’ kinda uptight. I’m messin’ with a
neighbour who killed my anp and fender. He looks so sweet and tender. It’s
hard to tell his gender. Got coffee on the paper. My dog’s an alligator. I
want you now and later. I got a crush got a crush on you. Got a crush got a
crush on you. I’m rentin’ the wrong movie. I’m laughin’ at the wrong
guy. I’m drivin’ on the wrong side. My brain is getting’ cock-eyed. The
flag is never chequered. Can’t find my f-beat records. God, give a little
lovin’. No money’s in the oven. God dead flies in my scotch with ice. My
talents always vaporize. I want you bird of paradise. I got a crush got a crush
on you. Got a crush got a crush on you. Crush! Crush! We got a good thing goin’
on. Crush! Crush! Such a good thing goin’ on. I’m freezin’ in the summer.
I’m sweatin’ in the winter. No middle in the centre. No colours in the
printer. No treatment at the pharmacy. No lessons learned from history. No
future in the factory. No meaning in the poetry. No changin’ in the weather.
No Elvis in the leather. I want you now or never. I got a crush got a crush on
you. Got a crush got a crush on you.
Wish
I could fly
Halfway through the night I wake up in a dream. Echoes in my head make every
whisper turn into a scream. I dreamed I could fly out in the blue. Over this
town following you. Over the trees, subways and cars I’d try to find out who
you really are. In the middle of the night cool sweatin’ in my bed. Got the
windows open wide. Thinkin’ about all the things you said. I wish I could fly
out in the blue. Over this town following you. I’d fly over rooftops, the
great boulevards to try to find out who you really are. Who you really are. I
wish I could fly now. Wish I could fly now. Wish I could fly now. I wish I could
fly around and around. Over this town, the dort on the ground. I’d follow your
course of doors left ajar. To try to find out who you really are. To try to find
out who you really are.
You
can’t put your arms around what’s already gone
I saw red, stayed at home. Placed a big pillow over the phone. In this town,
where I’m from I’ve learned two is so much better than one. But you left me
alone. You can’t put your arms around what’s already gone. Watch you sink
like a stone. You can’t put your arms around what’s already gone. Well, you
hurt to tre core. You used to kiss like no one had done before. And your taste
turned me on. Now you drive me real crazy just by being born. Cos you left (left
left left) me alone. And you can’t put your arms around what’s already gone.
Watch you sink like a stone. You can’t put your arms around what’s already
gone. Baba-b-baba-b-baba ba. Baba-b-baba-b-baba ba. Took the tram ‘round the
bay where everyone tells you to have a nice day. And my pride almost broke. When
the tears don’t fit you, you look like a joke. And you left (left left left)
me alone. And you can’t put your arms around what’s already gone. Cryin’
eyes getting’ worn. You can’t put your arms around what’s already gone.
Hey, you left (left left left) me alone. And you can’t put your arms around
what’s already gone. Watch you sink like a stone. You can’t put your arms
around what’s already gone. Baba-b-baba-b-baba ba. Baba-b-baba-b-baba ba.
Waiting
for the rain
I’m waiting for the rain, I’m waiting for you. I’m waiting for the rain to
clean my soul. I’m waiting for the rain, nothing’s gonna be better without
you. The day you left me, the day you came. I’ll never you. Feel you in my
pain. The time stood still, the time was flying. I wonder why I’m not dying.
I’m waiting for the sun, I’m waiting for a new day. I’m waiting for the
night to close my eyes. I’m waiting for the dark, oh, it’s gonna be harder
without you. The day we danced I’ll always miss. I’ll never forget the way
we kissed. The time stood still, the time was flying. I wonder why I’m not
dying. Na na na na.
Anyone
Anyone who have a love close to this knows what I’m saying. Anyone who wants a
dream to come true knows how I’m feeling. All I can think of is you and me
doing the things I wanna do. All I imagine is heaven on earth I know it’s you.
Anyone who ever kissed in the rain knows the whole meaning. Anyone who ever
stood in the light needs no explaining. But everything more or less appear so
meaningless, blue and cold. Walking alone through the afternoon traffic, I miss
you so. Anyone who felt like I do. Anyone who wasn’t ready to fall. Anyone who
loved like I do know it never really happens at all. It’s over when it’s
over. What can I do about it. Now that it’s over. Everything more or less is
looking so meaningless and fades to grey. Lying awake in an ocean of teardrops,
I float away. Anyone who felt like I do. Anyone who wasn’t ready to fall.
Anyone who loved like I do know it never really happens at all. It’s over when
it’s over. What can I do about it. Now it’s all over. It’s all over baby.
It
will take a long long time
Sunny called, I was in the hall and made a note I have to paint the kitchen
walls. An angel smiled across the room. All in all, it was a lazy afternoon.
Then I thought about you. I think it was some sweet song that I heard. Got to
get goin’ goin’ ahead. It will take a long long time. Got to go ahead and
deal with my life. It has taken such a long time. Sunny called, I was in the
bath and heard the rain hit the roof and tiles real hard (hit the roof real
hard, hit the roof). Then I ran through my magazines, a few letters poorly
hidden in a jar (hidden in a jar, oh what a jar). And I thought about you. It
must have been some old pictures I found. Got to get goin’ goin’ ahead. It
will take a long long time, yea yea. Got to go ahead and deal with my life. It
has taken such a long time. Inganakee leo yo. Inganakee leo.
7twenty7
7twenty7 is ready to move, you know she packed her bags with nothing left to
prove. I thought I didn’t care, now I’m falling thtough. Wouldn’t you?
Well, it’s a long long journey to the other side. Oh I’ve been wishing all
night I was on that flight. And god you’d better take care of the sweetest
eyes. I hear myself swallowing the tears I cry, I hear myself swallowing the
tears I cry. 7twenty7 is up in the air. You know I feel her hands on me
everywhere. I thought I didn’t care, now I’m saying a prayer. Hey mister do
you know the way to salvation square. It’s a long long winter ‘til the birds
will sing. Oh I’ve been waiting all night for the phone to ring. I’m going
up in smoke and phoney magazines. Everything is just pieces of my stupid dreams.
Everything is just species of my stupid dreams. With the clouds passing by, with
the clouds passing by it’s alright. 7twenty7 is close to the sky. It carries
the world between hello and goodbye. Like the Monday we met that disappeared in
a breath, like the Sunday she left forever smeeling of death. Another jet black
night another drink to go. Oh I’ve been diving my head in the pure white snow.
God’ you’d better take care of this gold skinned friend. Tell me will I ever
see her again? Tell me will I ever see her again.
I
was so lucky
It’s no secret I’ve been
waiting but I didn’t expect this. Nothing will reamin, nothing stays the same
after you came. It’s no secret I’ve been starving, I never felt anything for
years. I sat up all night just to watch your smile when you’re sleeping. I was
so lucky you came by and turned a different corner. It could’ve been somewhere
else, you could’ve passed by. Come on and sail the sea with me. Come on,
let’s go around the world.maybe find a flat or canyon house for the season. I
was so lucky you came by and turned a different corner. It could’ve been
someone else you had in mind. I was so lucky you found me. My rags turned gold
and silver. I could’ve been somewhere else, you could’ve passed by, you
could’ve passed by. What would you make of this, my baby? The sun through the
trees, is there a better place to be? I was so lucky you came by and turned a
different corner. It could’ve been someone else you had in mind, oh my. I was
so lucky you picked me. My trash turned to silver. It could’ve been somewhere
else, you could’ve passed by, you could’ve passed by.
Stars
You keep on walkin’ on the other side, other side, other side. You keep on
walkin’ on the other side, other side, other side. Wherever you go, I’m
going with you. Shouldn’t you know I’m bound to follow. Whatever you say,
whatever you do. I give you a clue, I’m gonna follow. And the stars will show
where the waters flow, where the gardens grow, that’s where I’ll meet you.
Why don’t you let me, let me come along. Na na na, na na na. Why don’t you
open, make me come along. Na na na, na na na. Wherever you go, I’m going for
you. Oh I was trully born to follow. Like fire and wood and paper and glue. Only
a few were born to follow. And the stars will show where the waters flow, where
the gardens grow, that’s where I’ll meet you. And the sun will glow melting
all the snow knowing all I know, that’s where I’ll meet you. Stars will show
where the waters flow, where the gardens grow, that’s where I’ll meet you.
And the sun will glow melting all the snow knowing all I know, that’s where
I’ll meet you. And the stars will show every breeze will blow knowing all I
know, that’s where I’ll meet you.
Salvation
I can barely remember my past. Everything seems to disappear so fast. But I
recall being jealous and alone. Gazing at the dreams going by. I started my life
when you knocked on the door. Found something inside I didn’t gare to ignore.
Now I believe in flowers on the moon. I’ll swim beside the golden tide. You
crashed by the gate. Captured my fate. Salvation. My eyes couldn’t see, I
hardly breathed. I was diving so deep. Salvation. I’m down in the study
holding on to my luck. Will you still love when I call you up? I gave you my
body, the power over me. Come on, bring out the best in me. You crashed by the
gate. Captured my fate. Salvation. My eyes couldn’t see, I hardly breathed. My
heart was asleep. Salvation. Some will get broken, others will get lucky like me
meeting you. Don’t pass me by. You crashed by the gate. Captured my fate.
Salvation. My eyes couldn’t see, I hardly breathed. I was down on my knees.
Salvation. Some will get broken, others will get lucky like me meeting you. I
found salvation, oh yea. You bring me salvation. I found salvation.
Pay
the price
I try to keep your name and still get rid of your face. I hate to be by myself
all locked away in this place. You turn me inside out. You turn me inside in.
Around and upside down. A rollercoaster within. Pay the price of love when he
calls for you. You’ve got to pay the price of love when he calls for you. I
grab my big black book and call the numbers I know. Something is melting this
town like it was all made of snow. You turn me inside out. You turn me inside
in. Around and up and down. The elevator within. Pay the price of love (ooh la
la la) when he calls for you. You’ve got to pay the price of love(ooh la la
la) when he calls for you. Spending the evenings alone with the 10 o’clock
news. Looking at you through the holes in the soles of my old brown shoes.
Cooper
Cooper went out late last night. I heard the slam from her door. Foggy ways,
November daze. All the white volves were smiling. Cooper went out walkin’ the
clouds. She left everything in a mess. „Shut your mouth when you talk to me”
her words were always so small. And
there’s a sound from the telephone. When can I say she’s coming home? Leave
me the number you’re dialing from and may I ask who’s calling? May I ask
who’s calling? Cooper went out, 3 o’clock sharp. I heard the bells from the
church. Someone said they saw a car picking her up by the station. Cooper went
out and that’s all there is. I’m just no one from next door. Everything will
be alright when all the flowers have cried. Then there’s a voice from the
telephone. When can I say she’s coming home? Leave me the number you’re
dialing from and may I ask who’s calling (who’s calling)? May I ask who’s
calling (who’s calling)? May I ask who’s calling?
Staring
at the ground
I’m staring at the ground. I’m bloodless, thrown away from the sun. What’S
lost cannot be found. I can’t return your tears if I ever lived to be a
thousand years. I’m staring at the ground. I never wished you a broken heart.
Coincidence put you down. He won’t withdraw those tears if you ever lived to
be a thousand years. What do I have to say to make you stay? What do I have to
do to make you happy? I’m staring at the ground. I wish I could bring the
spring to your door. To the coldest side of town. I carry your wounded dreams
like the devil’s deeds in the pocket of my jeans. What do I have to say to
make you stay? What do I have to do to make you happy?
Beautiful
things
Beautiful things are coming my
way. Beautiful things, I want them to stay. But after a while my beautiful
things don’t seem beautiful at all. Terrible things like when you wake up and
all of your dreams seem to crack up. Like things you have done, like breakin’
my heart. For you it don’t seem terrible at all. Is there someone I can talk
to? Someone on line? Does anybody want to hear what’s on my mind? Beautiful
things like leaves on a tree. Beautiful things, the sky and the sea. Since
you’ve been gone no beautiful things seem beatiful to me. Is there someone I
can talk to? Someone on line? Does anybody want to hear what’s on my mind?
Make the grass grow in the garden when the rain is passin’ by. Does anybody
want to know what’s on my mind?
