I lose some sales and my boss won't be happy But I can't stop listening to the sound Of two soft voices rendered in perfection From the reels of this record that I found Every day there's a boy in the mirror Asking me what are you doing here Finding all my previous motives Growing increasingly unclear
I've travelled far and I've burned all the bridges I believed as soon as I hit land All the other options held before me Will wither in the light of my plan So I lose some sales and my boss won't be happy But there's only one thing on my mind Searching boxes underneath the counter On a chance that on a tape I'd find A song for Someone who needs somewhere To long for
The build-up lasted for days Lasted for weeks Lasted too long
Our hero withdrew When there was two He could not choose one So there was none
Worn into the vaguely announced Worn into the vaguely announced
The spinning top made a sound like a train across the valley Fading, oh so quiet, but constant 'til it passed Over the ridge into the distances, written on your ticket To remind you where to stop And when to get off

Without giving anything away I can say it's by the sea It's a house that used to be The home of a friend of mine
Without giving anything away We find ships inside of bottles When the garden's overgrown The house is white, but the paint is coming off
I didn't know if you wanted to But I came to pick you up You didn't even hesitate And now you and me are on our way I think I've bought everything we need Don't look back, don't think of the Other places you should've been It's a good thing that you came along with me
Gold in the air of summer You'll shine like gold in the air of summer You'll shine like gold in the air of summer You'll shine like gold in the air of summer
When past sometimes takes you with soft hands Forceless it pulls you to your chair Hides you away from these half days Sunless, at the end of the year
The air is like a knife cutting through you A room in the house is always warm Stretched down on the bathroom floor thinking Of fair days your future may hold
Love comes like surprise ice on the water Love comes like surprise ice at dawn Love comes at dawn
Deprived all the light of colours The world ends at your window tree Darkness creates these illusions That pale days can teach you to see
Rain falls but no life is given Weeks pass, no progress is made Past sometimes takes you with soft hands And all that surrounds you will fade
Summerchild that sits by the water Weaving sunlight threads in his hands The golden river that day a shelter A stream where he could make pebbles dance
You looked around you, nobody had taken Any notice of what you saw Against the evening sky a formation A million black birds looking like one
Live long Save ten years to remember Live long Hold it in front of your eyes once more
Live long Save ten years to remember Live long Hold it in front of your eyes
I'd rather dance with you than talk with you So why don't we just move into the other room There's space for us to shake, and hey, I like this tune
Even if I could hear what you said I doubt my reply would be interesting for you to hear Because I haven't read a single book all year And the only film I saw, I didn't like it at all
I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you
The music's too loud and the noise from the crowd Increases the chance of misinterpretation So let your hips do the talking I'll make you laugh by acting like the guy who sings And you'll make me smile by really getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing Getting into the swing, getting into the swing...
(Getting into the swing...) I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance, I'd rather dance than talk with you I'd rather dance with you I'd rather dance with you
All I do is sleep all day, and think of you A memory of the cushion life I'm clinging to The image of a mutual one, our haven The sombre chords of our song, the fading
Love is no big truth Driven by our genes, we are simple selfish beings A symphony that's you Joyously awaking the ignorant and sleeping
Passion and its brother hate, they come and go Could easily be made to stay for longer though Many people play this game so willingly Do I have to be like them, or be lonely?
Love is no big truth Driven by our genes, we are simple selfish beings A symphony that's you Joyously awaking the ignorant and sleeping
Five weeks in a prison, I made no friends There's more time to be done, but I've got a week to spend I didn't pay much attention first time around But now you're hard not to notice, right here in my town Where the stage of my old life meets the cast of the new Tonights actors: Me and You
Each day is taking us closer While drawing the curtains to close This far, or further, I need to know Your increasingly long embraces Are they saying sorry or please? I don't know what's happening, help me
Through the streets, on the corners, there's a scent in the air I ask you out and I lead you, I know my way around here There's a bench I remember, and on the way there I find That the movements you're making, are mirrored in mine And your hand is held open, intentionally Or just what I want to see?
Your increasingly long embraces Are they saying sorry or please? I don't know what's happening, help me I don't normally beg for assistance I rely on my own eyes to see But right now they make no sense to me Right now you make no sense to me
Riding on this know-how Never been here before Peculiarly entrusted Possibly that's all Is history recorded? Does someone have a tape? Surely, I'm no pioneer Constellations stay the same
Just a little bit of danger When intriguingly Our little secret Trusts that you trust me 'Cause no one will ever know That this was happening So tell me why you listen When nobody's talking
What is there to know? All this is what it is You and me alone Sheer simplicity
What is there to know? All this is what it is You and me alone Sheer simplicity
What is there to know? All this is what it is You and me alone Sheer simplicity
Through the alleyways to cool off in the shadows Then into the street following the water There's a bearded man paddling in his canoe Looks as if he has come all the way from the Cayman Islands
These canals, it seems, they all go in circles Places look the same, and we're the only difference The wind is in your hair, it's covering my view I'm holding on to you, on a bike we've hired until tomorrow
If only they could see, if only they had been here They would understand, how someone could have chosen To go the length I've gone, to spend just one day riding Holding on to you, I never thought it would be this clear
If you wanna be my friend You want us to get along Please do not expect me to Wrap it up and keep it there The observation I am doing could Easily be understood As cynical demeanour But one of us misread... And what do you know It happened again
A friend is not a means You utilize to get somewhere Somehow I didn't notice friendship is an end What do you know It happened again
How come no-one told me All throughout history The loneliest people Were the ones who always spoke the truth The ones who made a difference By withstanding the indifference I guess it's up to me now Should I take that risk or just smile?
What do you know It happened again What do you know
Little kids playing in the park downtown Someone's dad is watching From the side of the ground I'm following my shadow so I cross the street Car passing stereo I like the beat
Open up the door Turning on the fan Dropping down the keys that I held in my hand And then start waiting for her steps To be heard in the staircase Enter the room and let down her bag Asking me all kinds of trivial questions Pretending an everyday life we don't have Pretending an everyday life we don't have Pretending an everyday life we don't have
Little kids playing in the park downtown Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down Little kids playing in the park downtown Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down And rises over, Brooklyn Bridge tomorrow Hours later I will follow Wake up to a life that's hollow without love Without love... Without love...
In the sky the birds are pulling rain In your life the curse has got a name Makes you lie awake all through the night That's why. She's intoxicated by herself Everyday she's seen with someone else And every night she kisses someone new Never you. You're waiting in the shadows for a chance 'Cause you believe at heart that if you can Show to her what love is all about She'll change. She'll talk to you with no one else around But only if you're able to entertain her The moment conversation stops she's gone Again. she's gone You believe at heart that if you can She'll change At heart that if you can But~ The moment conversation stops she's gone Again.
킹스 오브 컨비니언스. 이 사람들 역시 뮤지스탤지아에서 첨 알게 됐다.아직 이 사람들에 대해선 잘 모른다. 업어온 씨디 중 요 앨범이 있었는데음악은 좋다아아! 이랬지만 소개글을 읽기가 어려웠다.난독증인 건 아니고 글씨가 넘 빡빡한데다가 내가 싫어하는 문체여서.이런 음악소개하는 글이 어찌나 미사여구가 많은지-_- 핵심이 뭔지를 모르겠...
