Superstition
03:27
|
|||
|
I took my cash cow to the slaughterhouse
What was I thinking, what was I thinking
If falling leaves take time to die Oh give me time
They’re murky shadows that you dip your toes in
Please don’t lie to me, oh don’t lie to me
This barstool prophet’s not a broken man
I’m a pilgrim’s son
Superstition
New religion new religion
Show me mercy
Take me home
My windfall’s up but it wont float down
I burnt the ladder, burnt the ladder
My fortune cookie said I’d be OK
What do cookie’s know
You know how much I believed in fate
Let me keep it, let me keep it
There’ll come a time when the heart won’t ache
Throw our hands up high
Superstition
New religion new religion
Show me mercy
Take me home

Before We Were Lovers
04:22
|

|
your memories were they meant for me
as I lie beneath these cold cold sheets
well that tender kiss that tasted of cloves and cigs
did it mean too much or not enough
come on lie down and feel me heart
come on lie down
Please this is not me
And please this is not you
You said you’d love me til the day, the day I died
Right now I’m dying inside
I’m such a fool
A fool for you
Before you reach to slash the strings we both attached
Can I redraw the maps to find a line between us
Before it’s too late
There’s too much at stake
Let’s rewind the tape and put it all before us
come on lie down and feel me heart
come on lie down
Please this is not me
And please this is not you
You said you’d love me til the day, the day I died
Right now I’m dying inside
I’m such a fool
A fool for you
Oh do you remember when
Oh do you remember when
Way back way back way back when
Way back before we were lovers we were friends
Please this is not me
And please this is not you
You said you’d love me til the day, the day I died
Right now I’m dying inside
I’m such a fool
A fool for you

Lights
02:40
|

|
These streets they hold no memories
Why don’t we make some
Jump this moving train
And see what may come
I’ll lie awake for you with the lights on
I’ll lie awake for you with the lights on
I’m stuck in Neukoln with my fingers burning
My feet are itchy
But my head’s stopped turning
I’ll lie awake for you with the lights on
I’ll lie awake for you with the lights on
Where there’s mystery
There’s possibility
That all we seek
Is you and me
I’ve a rising feeling
I should not be here
The beat is leading where
My heart won’t be clear
I’ll lie awake for you with the lights on
I’ll lie awake for you with the lights on
Where there’s mystery
There’s possibility
That all we seek
Is you
Where there’s mystery
There’s possibility
That all we seek
Is you and me
Where there’s mystery
There’s possibility
That all we seek
Is you
Where there’s mystery
There’s possibility
That all we seek
Is you and me

Something Like This
03:25
|
|||
|
With my nose pressed up against the window pane
While the city’s diamond rain was dancing
Exalted as the silence washed away
This here is where my prayers get answered
I’ve waited all my life for something like this
I’ve waited all my life for something like this
o-o-o something like this
o-o-o something like this
I felt home I fell right in with the least of us
A clean canvas to paint our story
With tears of sorrow tears of laughter and boundless joy
This here is life in all its glory
I’ve waited all my life for something like this
I’ve waited all my life for something like this
o-o-o something like this
o-o-o
there’s a feeling I still believe in
when it’s over
know that this is what we came here for
this is what we came here for
like cold broken glass in the morning sun
like a fire upon the ocean
the water dragged me down you pulled me free
this here is where I pledge devotion
I’ve waited all my life for something like this
I’ve waited all my life for something like this
o-o-o something like this
o-o-o something like this
o-o-o something like this

Lonely Dancer
03:21
|
|||
|
Boxhagener blue eyed dream
Where have you been?
Indifferent pale and thin
I fell for you like amphetamine
Lonely dancer
Oh oh lonely dancer
Pick up the pieces pick up the pieces of my heart
I held onto the banister
Afraid that I’d embarrass her
from the pages of a book
I fell for her line and hook
Lonely dancer
Oh oh lonely dancer
Pick up the pieces pick up the pieces of my heart
Amidst the stench of stale smoke and piss
We leaned our necks out for a kiss
The whole world was at my feet
I fell for you like amphetamine
Lonely dancer
Oh oh lonely dancer
Pick up the pieces
pick up the pieces of my heart
Maybe tonight we’ll get closer to the secret
Maybe tonight we’ll get closer to the secret
Maybe tonight we’ll get closer to the secret
Maybe tonight we’ll get close
Lonely dancer
Oh oh lonely dancer
Pick up the pieces
pick up the pieces of my heart

Sorry
02:52
|
|||
|
Like a silver screen kiss under a morning moon
Like an innocent lift that leaves us both confused
Keep the cameras keep the cameras rolling
Like Christmas tree lights still hung in early june
We lose the surprise
Is love now gratitude?
I’m comfy, are you comfy too?
I’m the bearded lady I’m the elephant man
I want to stay at home but I don’t believe I can
I don’t want to have to say I’m sorry
It’s better to have lost than never loved
I don’t want to have to say I’m sorry
But I’ll adjust
our room it is filled with lonely elephants
we swallow the pills to hide our skeletons
they’re rattling.
Are yours rattling too?
I’m the bearded lady I’m the elephant man
I want to stay at home but I don’t believe I can
I don’t want to have to say I’m sorry
It’s better to have lost than never loved
I don’t want to have to say I’m sorry
But I’ll adjust

standing in the dark
I feel your arms circle round me
A hot electric charge
Drop the guard come in drown me
You’ve got to let it all out to let it all in
save us from ourselves again
Tonight I know I’ll be left in no doubt
Reckless and slow redemption
Lead me
Reckless and slow redemption
Lead me
The sunlight hits your clothes that all lay all around you
My angel from the north
I’ve been caught
Can I get to know you
You’ve got to let it all out to let it all in
save us from ourselves again
Tonight I know I’ll be left in no doubt
Reckless and slow redemption
Lead me
Reckless and slow redemption
Lead me

Stars
03:33
|

|
the lights inside shone bright outside
where the stars gazed down
where the stars gazed down
warm and safe a loving place
til the stars fall down
til the stars fall down
don’t sing to me of Pyrrhic victories
I need your smile to close my eyes to
Eyes turned blind
heads held too high
But the stars gaze down
Yeah the stars gaze down
don’t sing to me of Pyrrhic victories
I need your smile to close my eyes to
Watch the clocks
the guilt don’t stop
But the stars still shine
Yeah the stars still shine
don’t sing to me of Pyrrhic victories
I need your smile to close my eyes to

You Meant Everything
03:44
|
|||
|
the twilight’s beauty took away my breath
you were lying in your cotton dress
something heavy lay upon my chest
let’s go out and lose the night
to the corner where I first saw you
strumming gently to my favourite tune
dancing underneath a silver moon
let’s go out and lose the night
you know what’s right
lets not fight
lets do this
the time is high
the time is right
lets lose it, oh lose it
you meant everything to me (x4)
the sunsets beauty brings back memories
the perfume of what was our willow tree
oh come on out and breath it in with me
let’s go out and lose the night
you know what’s right
lets not fight
lets do this
the time is high
the time is right
lets lose it, oh lose it
you meant everything to me (x4)
