Hello Saferide

Oh, I love you! I wish you got the flu
So I could take care of you
Like you take care of me
I'm such a Florence, a real Florence Nightingale
I'll fluff your pillows, I'll buy you a Spiderman comic and read you
'til you fall asleep
Sleep on my shoulder! I won't wake you even if
My back turns crooked and I have to walk with a limp for a week
I'll make you soup and none of that kind that you get in a jar cause I
Know you don't like those

Oh, I love you! I wish you got the flu
You're the cutest thing I've ever seen 챰 like a teddy bear on heroin
Come, I'll tuck you in tight and I'll sing for you all night
All night

You can hold the remote, I won't try to steal it
And the best cushion is yours and you can have your feet on me,
Even though I'm scared of feet and even though I had a hard day at work

Oh, I love you! I wish you got the flu
You can lay your weight on me and I'll be your backbone
Lay your weight on me
You won't have to worry

And suddenly, I don't feel fat anymore
I don't count my blackheads as a hobby
I don't count the marks on the wall
And I don't sleep well at all

There is someone else right beside me
He kept every secret I told
He giggled his way straight through fall
And I don't sleep well at all

He knows when I'm happy and nods when I'm sad
And he puts out when I come home drunk
And suddenly I stand real tall
But I don't sleep well at all

I have seen too many movies
I have read too many books
I'm the kind that sees sun and brings an umbrella
I have been to fortune tellers

And I know love will leave you all crooked
And I know he'll start sleeping around
Or start listening to symphony rock
Or throw out the key and change the lock
But I don't sleep well at all

Finally, the sky is blue
Last night, my friends dragged me to some lake
We drove there real late, we went too fast
Sipping cheap sangria in the backseat
Everybody are laughing and we are listening to our favorite songs
But I thought you said summer is going to take the pain away

January brought a headache
In February, it got even worse
And when you thought it couldn't get more awful
Say hello to March
April brought me to a funeral
Gained another ten pounds in May
But I thought you said summer is going to take the pain away

Have you ever had the feeling no one really knows what you're all about
And when you try to show them
They all have things to do tonight
Tonight

Up on a roof, looking over the city
All by myself thinking:
There is nowhere I would rather be than here, so why am I not
Like the others, and why are you not here with me doing crossword puzzles
Saying: it's going to be okay
Summer's going to take the pain away
When I'm gone, I promise
It's going to be okay
Summer is going to take the pain away

I check my bed for bugs and spiders
(though I don't really believe they're there)
I check my head, it's getting tighter
I want to stop, but I don't dare
I will not sleep until I've counted to 200 three times
I will not sleep until my pencils lie in a straight line

Goodnight, goodbye
It's late, and I'm too tired to cry
Goodnight, goodbye
Just let me close my weary eyes

I pray to God twice in the evenings
And check the stove four times each day
I spin around the door to make sure that it's locked
And wear these lucky socks until they fade away
The house might burn down
And it's all my fault if that puddle doesn't get me wet
If I get home before the rain, you're mine
But I won't bet

One day, I'll be stepping
On cracks and close my eyes
But I'm too tired to argue with myself
I'll just do this one more time

What would you say if I asked of you
- out of loneliness, out of loneliness
What would you say if I asked of you
- out of loneliness, out of loneliness
Could I be with you
Can I be with you

It's warm inside the night club
Your face is lit up by a disco light
I don't want to go home alone, not tonight
I have a picture of a man who used to sit in that chair
I will go anywhere
Just as long as I'm with someone
You will do, just take me home for tea

If I told you my stories and sang you my songs
Would you laugh at me
Would you pity me
What would you say if I asked of you
Not out of accident, out of loneliness
Would you shelter me
Will you shelter me

I will be gone when you wake up
No awkward breakfasts, I swear
And don't you look for me, because I could be anywhere
In someone else's house
In someone else's arms
With someone else to warm the pain away

What can I ask of you
What would you want from me
What would you say if I just fell asleep

Hello
Do you remember me
I am your long lost pen pal
It must have been ten years ago we last wrote
I don't really know what happened
I guess life came in the way
Let me know if you're still alive
Let me know if you ever used that knife or not

Hello
Yes I remember you
I've got a husband and two children now
I work as an accountant and make fairly good money
I still have your letters, you used a pink pen to write them
And you would comfort me
When my tears would stain the ink
And I would send you mix tapes with Kate Bush on

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend

There was this letter
I never told you this back then
But it would be fair to say it saved my life
I sat in the window
The only one left out from a party again
Pretty sure I didn't have a single friend
Then I checked the mailbox

Dear long lost penpal
I was lying the whole time
I'm really a 46 years old man named Luke
I have three children
And a wife, she doesn't care
And I hope you don't resent me
And I hope you do not hate me
For trying to find my way back to what it's like to be young

I have to admit I sometimes lied in those letters
Tried to make life better than it was
I still wasn't kissed at sixteen
And I still need a friend

> You call me up in the mornings
Well stay on the phone until dawning
You tell me secrets I actually keep
You call me up around noon and
Bring me all the good gossip
You hold my head when I throw up
I hold your hand when you weep

And we talk about friends
And we talk about records
Talk about life
And well talk about death
And we dance in the living room
Dance on the sidewalks, dance in the movies
Dance at the festivals, dance, dance
No men ever really dance like this

Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was a lesbian
Damn! I wish I was, and that you were, too
So I could fall in love with you

You call me up in the evenings
And tell me what they did this time
No matter what, Im by your side
When its raining, well go to the video store
We even like the same movies
No damn jedis or hobbits, this time!

And you laugh at my jokes
And I laugh at your jokes
And I even like the birthday presents you get me
And we dance in the living room
Dance on the sidewalks
Dance in the movies
Dance at the festivals
Lets dance, dance
No men ever really dance like this

Why dont I fall?
Why dont I just fall in love with you?

I swear: I felt it again
The tingling of the first night again
Us moving slowly, Merle Haggard, the fading sun
Well, there's nothing like you when you're gone

I wear your sweatshirt again
The one with the cast of Falcon Crest on
The one I forbade you to use time and again
Well it's sad, I keep putting it on

A friend stopped by and said as quoted:
??I can't believe that we're here again
Have you forgotten the women, the drinking, the Blues of the Eighties collection
Oh my God, you're wearing your Lorenzo Lamas again??br>M-hm

Yes, I am lonesome again!
Yes, I am crying again!
Yes, you are getting this letter again
Because there's nothing like you when you're gone

Never as tender and never as well dressed
Never as handsome and never as good in bed
Never had such good taste
Never as much like me
Well, there's nothing like you when you're gone

2008

There is a war in all the heads and there’s a
war in mine as well and if I could explain it any better, I’m sure I would.

We’re in a bus and it’s night, you opened up and so will I but

though I’m good with words I’ve never been good with… words.

But all I know is: there’s something new this year.
All I know is there’s something new real near.

There is a town that I live in and it’s a town that favors winners

and when I win I think about when I’ll next lose.
I took a train that took me north and it’s the place where trees speak louder than the people and if I have to pick that’s what I’ll choose.

I walked along the river Ume,

it chilled me out of my bones too, but a cold wind is always better than a cold voice.
I am not strong enough for win city, I’ll stay in to play Sin,

witty people without hearts have always had a lead on me.

And all I know is, there’s something new this year,
all I know is there’s something new real near.
All I know is, there’s something new this year.
I don’t know much, but there’s something new coming near.

I’ll walk into the shop where you work, it is a shop that kills you slowly,

there will be no blood but another shirt on a hanger will still behead you.
I’ll lift your arm and you’ll lift mine, and in a Communist state of mind,

we’re not worth more than anyone else but surely not worth less.





2008

모든 사람들의 머리 속은 전쟁 중인 것처럼 복잡하고 나도 다를 바 없어요.

그리고 만약 이런 상황을 더 제대로 설명할 수만 있다면 난 그랬을 거에요

우리는 어느 날 밤 버스 안에 있었고 당신은 내게 마음을 털어놓았죠,

그리고 내가 대화를 잘 하는 사람이었다면 나도 분명히 그랬을 거에요. 난 언제나 말주변이 없었어요.

하지만 난 올해에는 뭔가 새로운 것이 있다는 것을 알아요.
난 진짜 새로운 그 무엇인가가 우리 곁에 와 있다는 것을 알아요.
내가 사는 이 마을은 승리자들을 편애하는 마을이에요.

그래서 나는 내가 승리할 때면 다음 번에 질 경우를 생각하게 되죠.

나는 기차를 타고 북쪽으로 향했어요,

그 곳은 나무들의 소리가 사람소리 보다 더 크게 들리는 그런 곳이에요,

그리고 만약 선택을 할 수 있다면 난 그런 곳에 머무르고 싶어요.

나는 '움' 강변을 따라 걸었죠, 뼈 속까지 추위가 스며들었지만,

차가운 바람이 싸늘한 목소리보다는 언제나 더 나은 법이죠.

나는 승리자만을 선호하는 그런 마을에서는 견디기 힘들어요,

재치있지만 감정이 없는 사람들에게 항상 이끌려 왔었는데,

이제는 완벽하지 않더라도 실수를 하면서 사는 편이 낫겠네요.

그리고 난 올해에는 뭔가 새로운 것이 있다는 것을 알아요.

난 정말 새로운 그 무엇인가가 우리 곁에 와 있다는 것을 알아요.

난 올해에는 진짜 새로운 무엇인가가 있다는 것을 알아요.

난 별로 아는 것은 없지만 진짜 새로운 그 무엇인가가 우리 곁에 와 있다는 것을 알아요.

난 당신이 일하는 그 가게에 들어서죠,

그 곳은 당신의 존재를 천천히 희미하게 만들어가고 있는 그런 곳이에요.

피 한방울 보이지는 않지만, 옷걸이에 걸려있는 셔츠는

마치 당신이 참수형에 처한 것처럼 느끼게 만들 수도 있을 거에요.

우리 서로 팔을 마주 들고 하나가 되는 기분에 젖어든다면, 세상에 어느 누구도 부럽지 않을 거에요.

You know we could have had a daughter
And we could have named her Anna
And she would have been a sweetheart
But with punk rock manners

Could have supported us when we retire
Bought us a cottage near the countryside

You could have taught her to play hockey
I could have taught her the guitar
And her granddad could have shown her
the way to the bar

Could have supported us when we retire
Bought us a cottage near the countryside

We would have made the neighbours jealous
We could have barbecues at nights
With our collected brain recources
She would have an IQ of a hundred and fifty five

Could have supported us when we retire
Bought us a cottage near the countryside

She would have won the Nobel Prize
And thank her mama for all the good advice
And we could have gone swimming
near that cottage by the lake
And she'd never have to know
what it's like when your heart breaks

When your heart breaks
When your heart breaks
When your heart breaks
When your heart breaks...

Could have supported us when we retire
Bought us a cottage near the countryside
Could have supported us when we retire
Bought us a cottage near the countryside

She would have married a Kennedy
She would have found the cure for HIV
Well I'm real sorry Anna, you never got to be
Cause your daddy moved on and left me

Could have supported us when we retire
Bought us a cottage near the countryside
