They came here to steal the things they like: computer equipment - mechanical stuff cause we've have enough we give it away But someone left the scene of way too soon It is tremendous in a way We've never seen it in our street It never happened before when we were playing Now TV-shows - talking all they're saying now Our luck runs out tonight It's this simple: you believe - someone gives and you recieve but somewhere along the way our luck ran out again nanana... Now they live in nevernever-land claiming they're tourists They light up the crowd and don't talk so loud anymore But I'm sure we will see their brothers soon Already racing to be first They find it hard to adjust It never happened before we have been playing Let's do it again, forget what I've been saying now Your luck runs out tonight Nanana...

When there is light from up above
Then there will come a sacred dove To the basement, to the basement When there is fear you won't have to cry Napkins are here, they'll dry your eyes And blind them, and blind them They will come to your home When they are here Faces down When there is greed taking control Moving the bricks and starving the older people Oh, people If you seek shelter from your past They'll come to point their fingers where you cast your shadow Cast your shadow They will come to your home When they are here Faces down But you Have been fooled You knew the rules By heart There is No guarantee Against infamy Out there When there is trouble on the road Dead passengers will guide you home They will lead you If they can just feed you They will come to your home When they are here Faces down |

The moment has come to face the truth
I'm wide awake and so are you Do you have a clue what this is (I don't know) Are you everything that I've missed? (I don't hope so) We'll just have to wait and see (wait and see) If things go right, we're meant to be The surface is gone. I scratched it off We made some plans. I let them go Do you have the slightest idea (No I don't) Why the world is bright when you're near Stay awhile and wait and see (wait and see) If things go right, we're meant to be Oh, what a world this life would be Forget all your technicolour dreams Forget modern nature this is how its meant to be The time is here for being straight Its not too early and never too late People say I should watch my pace (What do they know?) |

I've come to fill you up
I've come to taste the price I'll pay I've come to leave a note I've come to see you on and off again There have been tragic affairs Ever so unreliable And I could just see through these fingers and give it one more try But nothing stays the same I stand in my own way I hear you called again I know not what to say I've changed, become another The one you used to stalk is real I've come to make it better I've come to see you through the end again And all the rumours in this house Ever so unreliable I would neglect them If only lies gave us one more try But nothing stays the same I stand in my own way I hear you called again I know not what to say I've come to know the reasons I've come to realize the truth 'Cause though I leave he waiting She knows I'll turn against myself again But nothing stays the same I stand in my own way I hear you called again I know not what to say I am so amazed I am so amazed That nothing stays the same Nothing stays the same |

Side two was about the tortured young and old Side two will show you how it's meant to be You'll see a blizzard and you'll leave Side two will show you how it's meant to be We're dying now He helps us out It is so sad to see what will become of me But I know, oh I know Who wants to know the names of those who lived through execution, collecting votes?

Ask me anything you like
I'll reveal everything I will treasure the truth You could know anything I am but a fool to play unaware of things If I'd treasured the truth I would tell it to you I'm coming down to tell you what I know To say what's real, to let you know Where I have been and how I had to Sleep on needles You'll believe you are hard Sleep on needles And hear only the truth Am I likely to succeed with the way things are? Judging by your smile You are holding something back I'm sleepless around midnight There's a change in the wind The remembrance of things you used to hold back I come around each time your notes are high To tear you down and drag you up To let you know what's going on while I Sleep on needles You'll believe you are hard Sleep on needles And hear only the truth |

I heard him yell something
It shouldn't be this bad He's spitting as he says Hi I catch fire So fortunate for you You were free to choose That's not enough to keep me from yelling She shivers at her desk As he yells 12 PM But no one's running late They're all airheads Cause he is on the move And these virgins talk about groove And make it sound so credible Oh tonight's suffused with love Don't spend all your time It's only hit and run Why spend all your time making someone else's dream? You always meet these girls Penetrating eyes And tentatively I require names But he is on their minds Young, lost occupied time vanishes, unfortunately Can I have learned eyes? I knew you'd hesitate I pictured this unfortunately, no We haven't got the time for he is in our minds Just about enough to keep me on the outside Is tonight suffused with love? Don't spend all your time It's only hit and run Why spend all your time making someone else's dream? |

I find it hard, hard to let go
And you are entitled to know You have brought nothing else but bliss A great deal of frustration Voluntary occupation Driving me insane and off the wall And we were free to choose each other Now it seems like something other Have you placed me where I stand? We turned caring, like a mother Afraid to lose each other It got us this far Now problems are: I have no bags to pack No suitcase waiting in the hall You have no make-up No stockings in my drawer Oh, how did we forget? Could we forget? It's easy to learn if you never regret When you live in paranoia And you know she's got you, oh yeah You can't leave until you know the truth So for months you're going nowhere Until you seize the day and place yourself Behind the steering wheel Oh you can't act like you don't want to The opposite of what you planned to You can watch the ships when they're abroad Become a joke when people see you 'Cause it's enough to please you We got this far Step out of the car I have no bags to pack No suitcase waiting in the hall You have no make-up No stockings in my drawer Oh, how did we forget? Could we forget? It's easy to learn if you never regret We'll never learn in the future This is it, seemingly I am sure I know we haven't been together now It wasn't meant to be this way So we'll give it days and days And we'll try to make it easy now Once I believed we could approach this Now I have faith placed in the things you call fate In the things you call fate In the things you call fate |

Summer killed the ones you loved
I hesitate and tell you When people leave without goodbye I lose another brick The buildings are tall the world explains all and here I stand and face myself: I lead the way for us I've frozen down my memory It's morning when she gets up She puts on Lionel Ritchie I've already had enough The queues are long Guess I am wrong This chemical environment is getting out of hand Virtue and wine cannot help you swim Pain and sorrow must come if you go It's the chemistry and the things we shouldn't do I am nothing without you Ba-ba-da-ba-ba-ba-ba |

You could be sad but never torn
You saw the light when it was on You never turned or looked away Your eyes were focused, mine were grey Your sentences were concentrated You made your points so understated Where I would mumble, you would say Your eyes were focused, mine were grey I made up conversations with my symbolic language Saying everybody wants to be like you But I'd rather fall in love with you You got the picture from the start You saw right through me in the dark You saw that I couldn't behave with eyes so focused, yet so frail I chose you from a million You were the choice of billions wishing they would try to be like you But I'd rather fall in love with you Ba-ba-ba baa-ba... You questioned men and called them whores But you would never burn your bras You held your head up in the rain Your eyes were focused, mine were grey You had relationships that worked and yet experience with jerks So well adjusted, but with charm Your eyes were focused and yet calm I'm fairly realistic But my thoughts are out of lip-sync when I say that I'm not one of those who pass you by and fall in love with you who pass you by and fall in love with you who pass you by and fall in love with you I'll pass you by and fall in love with you Ba-ba-ba baa-ba... |

Thinking about writing it down seems pretentious And helplessness may be the word they nail to my name In a while Stupid memory Must you bring up these things? Stupid memory Can I forget all of that?

Tell me that the casual panics will give in.
When I hear a scream all my friends just hear the wind. So, if anybody could prove what god must know, I'd tell myself the chances of suffering are slim. Mum said, "All men must fall," You can't quit just to stay on your feet. One day you'll see the blood on the floor. So will you sweep? Will you be swept? It's just so hard to believe there's a way out of here! FACE THE BLOOD AGAIN! FACE THE BLOOD AGAIN AND AGAIN! FACE THE BLOOD AGAIN! FACE THE BLOOD, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! I didn't ever think I'd be sleeping with the sharks, But everybody said I'd be perfect for that part. So, if anybody remembers my old name, Tell everybody that I will always be the same. My mother spoke the truth, She outlived all the men in the street. Knee-high in all the blood on the floor... It's down to this: Sink or resist; It's getting hard to believe there's a way out of here! FACE THE BLOOD AGAIN! FACE THE BLOOD AGAIN AND AGAIN! FACE THE BLOOD AGAIN! FACE THE BLOOD, AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN AND AGAIN! |

Searching for something to say to you Even though everything has been said Somehow there's still something left to add And while the satellite's asleep Somewhere it's midnight out there And while I'm barking at the moon You sing your heart out to a tune Hoping you'll never grow old Hoping you'll never grow old I know it may take some time To get this day off your mind Sifting through all the remaining files Counting down all the remaining miles Drifting off into a different night Paralyzed by all the warning lights Waking the patient satellites Sleepy benevolent eyes Heavily drunk on distant love They never once misplaced a call I hope they never grow old I know it may take some time To get this day off your mind I know it may take some time To get this day off your mind Happy Birthday girl ,I miss you Happy Birthday girl, I miss you Happy Birthday girl, I miss you Happy Birthday girl, I miss you |

Montauk Try to get Back on track No vacation Don't give up Just don't look back If you're looking for an answer, dig in I have said too much already I cannot win This could go on for forever on end Theres nowhere to turn Nowhere to begin this isn't a joke it's merely a sin There is no way to say it all Play it again and say it all I said a little The rest is a riddle Our night's too short to say it all Play it again and say it all You know the punch line It's all in the punchline Pale wind blowing Cutting right To the core You're so patient When the wreck washed ashore If you ever need forgiveness, I give I have done so many incomprehensible things This could go on for forever on end Theres nowhere to run Nowhere to escape Don't tell me you knew until we awake There is no way to say it all Play it again and say it all I said a little The rest is a riddle Our night's too short to say it all Play it again and say it all Do you know the punchline? It's all in the punchline Now and again we can leave it all behind Now and again we can leave it all behind There is no way to say it all Play it again and say it all I said a little The rest is a riddle Our night's too short to play it all Say it again and play it all You know the punchline It's all in the punchline I said a little The rest is a riddle You know the punchline It's all in the punchline I said a little the rest is a riddle you know the punchline, it's all in the punchline |

All the girls that I know suddenly seem so-so
Suddenly no one quite can compare to her Why? She's fantastic I do not know what to do What is a guy to contribute? All the girls my own age have me turning the page They're so eager to try She don't do nothing Why? She's fantastic I do not know what to do What is a guy to contribute? Just like in that old movie about Carlotta's spell I feel obsessed like Scottie felt minus the drama and the fraud I hope I got to get into her way Out of my way All the girls in this room sure look pretty and groomed but I must let you down She's ahead of you How? She's fantastic I do not know what to do Honestly, what can I contribute? Just like in that old movie about Rebecca's spell I feel like Max never felt minus the drama and the fraud I hope I got to get into her way Out of my way Late at night when I dream about girls that I've seen very few reach beyond my eyes after I'm gone No one makes me so weak and appears so unique In a cluster of freak she is all that I seek No one makes me confused and so certain I'd lose I’m battered and bruised I’m disheveled but true Everything is a blur Everything is a blur None of this would occur if it wasn't for her She's fantastic I do not know what to do Honestly, what can I contribute? |

Now they're calling for the second time today
Asking for to borrow those two tapes again Is it really worth the struggle of covering up? On the brink and learning how to live with it Got experience from method toting deep within And they say it's so inflammable Am I caught in a trap with all the remains of a letdown? All the remains of a letdown Speak out if you got it Watch out if you run Since I heard someone died at a screening downtown of a tape of a tape Now they're running round drawing circles and Living up to everything you think of them Such a senseless slender guy and his greater half On a mission for the local government Looking for a tape that's gonna pay the rent And they say it's so inflammable The cats will whine the dogs will itch So bury the beat and forget them Raise the remains of a letdown Speak out if you got it Watch out if you run Since I heard someone cried at a screening Downtown of a tape Of a tape Ok Now it's coming out the story we all knew In equal parts all that you did and that you didn't do Was it really worth the struggle of covering up? Leave it playing till it spells the ending back Is this what happens if you suffer like a cardiac? Will you beg to be excused for always dumbing down Or wrenching up Now all that's left is a letdown The view in reverse of a letdown Speak up if you got it Watch out if you run Since I heard someone died at a screening Downtown of a tape, of a tape |

Here's a man, his own tragic mirror
capable of such crimes he is scared to look at himself too long at a time. Here's a man, his own wrapped up worry thinking he will do wrong very shortly. The answer remains locked up in his head. And charity plays a game with your head it gets to you now, it gets to you now and charity plays away with your head it gets to you now, it gets to you now. Somehow you've got to smarten up and act like nothing's ever gonna break you break you, break your mirror in two. Here's a man aware of his defects such a sensitive soul such a rebel capable of detecting his flaws. Here's a man self righteous, self pitying nursing losses and pain and inflicting guilt that should keep them busy for days. And charity plays a game with your head it gets to you now, it gets to you now and vanity takes your dog for a walk it gets to you now, it gets to you now. Somehow youve got to smarten up and act like nothing's ever gonna break you, break you, break your mirror in two. Here's a man really worth the attention so mature but so dumb. In broad daylight the answer remains locked up in his head it's blowing around somewhere in his head. |

I know I was out of line
You were way out of your mind Wrapped up in my reveries Causing all this misery Hear me out If ever there's a chance in heaven (Or in hell) To slowly forget the past and the bandage Be careful, you fool, there are certain rules Even for a fellow like you But don't be alarmed, no one gets harmed I will never go, babe, hell no Maybe I was in the dark But why'd you have to steal my heart? Well, I didn't plan to go berserk Baby, you were such a jerk Well just hear me out I can't believe the things I said (I know) I obviously was removed from my senses Be careful, you fool, there are certain rules Even for a fellow like you But don't be alarmed, no one gets harmed I will never go, babe, hell no Now hear me out If ever you deceive me (If ever, ever?) We're through You worry too much, I won't make you sorry Be careful you fool, there are certain rules Even for a fellow like you But don't be alarmed, no one gets harmed I will never go, babe, hell no Be careful you fool (Don't be alarmed) There are certain rules ('Cause I know that) I will never go, babe, hell no |

I've been talking to the wall and it's been answering me
Oh darling how I miss you I'm just the mere shadow of my former selfishness I crave the silhouette of your kiss With only the blue light of the tv on Lip reading threats and false alarms There's a boy somewhere holding hands with himself And a girl in a window on the reeperbarn Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt That it's you that I'm dreaming about Do I have to draw you a diagram? All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands With the kings and queens of the dance hall craze Checkmate in three moves in your heyday But the girls don't listen to your line anymore Now you're part of someone else On the factory floor and you still say "where's the action?" Now you manufacture happiness And get sold on the cheap for someone's satisfaction Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt That it's you that I'm dreaming about Do I have to draw you a diagram? All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands All you toy soldiers and scaremongers Are you living in this world sometimes I wonder In between saying you've seen too much and saying you've seen it all before Tighter and tighter I hold you tightly You know I love you more than slightly Although I've never said it like this before Whenever I put my foot in my mouth and you begin to doubt That it's you that I'm dreaming about Do I have to draw you a diagram? All I ever want is just to fall into your human hands |

You who attacked my old heart with a glance
And you placed it with something new You ran away as the pendulum swung I had only begun I'll be OK I'll be OK You who replaced every beat that was false And uptight like a metronome You should've stayed 'cause that winter was long But by dawn you were gone I'll be OK I'll be OK You who resigned when I finally decided That I was alive I'll be OK I'll be OK I'll be OK I'll be OK |

Popular spoons
Sweeten the swoons You know the drill right up until They find you don't carry their itinerary around It's such a sad beguiling thing You've got it bad It's not a fling But you can't play the part without breaking your own heart into two Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find I fought all the devils that wanted to change me and break me down Don't look now Look away They make the rules You don't want to sell out You've got the tools they don't allow but They are no boundaries just recoupable royalties and men. The lights go out a thunder roars a silly thing You can't ignore till you've overstayed your welcome with those who've paid for All your dressing up Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find I fought and resisted back when they secused (?) me and brought me down Don't look down Look away Oh can't you see there's nothing to collect Oh but tell me what did you expect It's so stupid and selfish all the same And so sad you can't go again Oh I've been a soldier of the purest kind you could find Fought and resisted when they tried to change me around But this just become so predictable it's hard to stay aground Cut me some slack Never look back Don't look now Look away |

Is it hot in here or have I lost myself again?
Is it hot in here or is it only me? If I leave the room maybe things will settle down If I get back let's pretend we never met 'Cause I know I'm so easy to persuade Why do I cling to the little that remains? But in the end there's something you can't erase Oh, but you know I'm so easy to persuade Is it hot in here 'cause my pulse is running scared? From a beating heart with something to defend How hard can it be to tell the truth from what you're told? Get out now while there's still some air left in the tank 'Cause I know I'm so easy to persuade Why do I cling to the little that remains? But in the end there's something you can't erase Oh, you would know I'm so easy to persuade Is it hot in here? I don't know that you would know Oh, whatever, don't know why I even ask 'Cause you know I'm so easy to persuade How did you know I would shoulder all the blame? But in the end I guess some things you can't erase Oh, but you know I'm so easy to persuade I'm so easy to persuade, I'm so easy to persuade |

I had a bad dream and as the night progressed
Drenched in silliness I watched it all unfold Oh dear, if there is any truth to this Somebody wake me and serve up some good white lies I had a bad dream in which the phone would ring And drown out everything, it kept me on my feet But down in streets so quiet now I can hear ticking from meters and bounce When I fall asleep and I climb these four walls Wake up in the middle of conference calls But go on forever about nothing at all Good luck, don't you feel so bad Just don't get your hopes up Oh, there's no reason why I had a bad dream and as the sun came in I threw out everything that kept me company I held my breath to feel alive The damage is measured against the regrets The potential of tragedy hangs you bad threads Strike up the banjo and sing us a song Good luck, don't you feel so bad Just don't get your hopes up Oh, there's no reason why Good luck, don't you feel so bad Just don't get your hopes up Luck, whether good or bad Doesn't come from justice Good luck, don't you feel so bad Just don't get your hopes up Oh, there's no reason why |

"You better know by now,"
she said I made no effort to defend myself against her claim There wasn't anything to add And so I blurted out "I guess it's gonna rain today." What a silly thing to put you through I know better Lost for words because I'm losing you Didn't I promise you I knew better Hurry home before the sky Breaks out You can't predict Things that happen all the time Hurry back Don't take my word For it babe I don't know But I guess It's gonna rain today I don't know But I guess It's gonna rain today She said to get the hell away And left me standing in the doorway like a tired cliche I thought I had it all pinned down Now I'm the guy who said, "I guess it's gonna rain today." Oh the fine line between Street smartness And a smart ass Oh the skipping beats of confidence And the drum roll That you thought you could play Hurry home before the sky Breaks out No point predicting Things that happen all the time Hurry back Don't take my word For it babe I don't know But I guess It's gonna rain today I don't know But I guess It's gonna rain today But I'm sure that you've known this All along Oh, I'm sure that you've known this All along |

My baby's building a sand castle
And someday we're gonna live on the shores But now a days we just hold our breath Until the meeting next Monday And it's going through the roof We're blowing through the roof If only you guys could see us Me and my baby, we bicker But I know the talented devil inside And so we bond over raising toasts Two absent minds who paint the sky Two absent minds expecting to fly My baby does tend to contradict It's only natural That it's going through the roof B-blowing through the roof If only you guys could see that I'm giving you the proof I'm telling you the truth They were gonna call tomorrow Two absent minds expecting to fly My baby knows how the world goes around We'll jump the rails and abandon this town Sometimes I blush when imaging How big it's gonna be really, really Blowing through the roof We're going through the roof If only the world would follow I'm giving you the proof What do I have to do To make sure you all believe us? If only you guys could see us now |

It's a travesty, where do I begin?
The ways in which I have behaved I'm glad no one was keeping track of me Like a tambourine, driven by the beat I forgot what time it was I wish someone were looking out for me Some of you may think That I regret some of my doings I'd do it all again if I had the chance Just like Lazenby can I do it over? Don't I get a second try? Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled Just like Lazenby Like the swirling sun I haven't burned out It's better to etcetera I won't bore you with these things we tend to say Like a fairytale with blood on every page My failures brought about some blessings Someone must be watching over me Even though I wonder Why I did some of my doings I'd do it all again if I had the change Just like Lazenby can I do it over? Don't I get a second try? Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled Just like Lazenby Just like Lazenby, just like Lazenby Burning every bridge Endless opportunities I squandered On the way to this event Just like Lazenby can I do it over? Don't I get a second try? Every time I messed up my lines and stumbled And reluctantly begged forgiveness just like Lazenby |
