- 24-25
She'll be gone soon
You can have me for yourself
She'll be gone soon
You can have me for yourself
But do give
Just give me today
Or you will just scare me away
- Boat Behind
So we meet again after several years
Several years of separation
Moving on, moving around
Did we spend this time chasing the other's tail?
Ohohohoh, I could never belong to you
Winter and Spring, Summer and Fall
- Brave New World
Out in the dark,
walking in the rain,
on a lonely street,
looking for the fire.
Escaping the noise,
can you ever escape?
You can hear your thoughts,
they're calling you a liar,
- Cayman Islands
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
- Failure
Using the Guardian as a shield,
to cover my thighs against the rain,
I didn't mind about my hair.
Your jacket may be waterproof,
but knowing the moment you get home
you're gonna get your trousers changed.
Failure is always the best way to learn,
retracing your steps 'til you know,
- Freedom And It's Owner
We'll be rich in memories of all the places
we captured without camera
we've seen the pyramids
we've seen the Louvre
we've seen Orion upside down
the total eclipses and the moonlight shadows
we've seen dolphins jumping waves
we've ski'ed the mountains and we swam in the rivers
- Freedom and Its Owner
We'll be rich in memories of all the places
We've captured without camera
We've seen the pyramids
We've seen the Louvre
We've seen Orion upside down
Total eclipses and the moonlight shadows
We've seen dolphins jumping waves
We've ski'ed the mountains and we swam in the rivers
- Gold for the Price of Silver
If it takes control of your body and soul
Embrace it
If it makes you cry or leaves you wondering why
Don't turn around, face it
But do turn cold
If they promise you gold...for the price of silver
If it's chemically made by people you hate
- Gold in the air of summer
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
You'll find ships inside of bottles
When the garden's overgrown
- Homesick
I lose some sales
and my boss won't be happy
but I can't stop listening to the sound
of two soft voices blended in perfection
from the reels of this record that I found
every day there's a boy in the mirror
asking me
- i don't know what i can save u from
You called me after midnight,
must have been three years since we last spoke.
I slowly tried to bring back,
the image of your face from the memories so old.
I tried so hard to follow,
but didn't catch the half of what had gone wrong,
said "I don't know what I can save you from."
- i'd rather dance with u
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
- I'd Rather Dance With You
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
- Know How
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
- Leaning Against The Wall
Your eyes are cold,
I know you'll tell me all.
Not to fall,
I lean against the wall.
I'm on the floor,
not listening anymore.
I should have known,
the things to which you're prone.
- Little Kids
Little kids playing in the park downtown.
Someone's dad is watching
from the side of the playground.
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,
- Live Long
Live Long lyrics
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,
- love comes like surprise ice
When past sometimes takes you with soft hands,
forcelessly 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 out on the bathroomfloor, thinking,
of fair days your future may hold.
- Love Is No Big Truth
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.
- Manhattan Skyline
Manhattan Skyline
We sit and watch umbrellas fly
I'm trying to keep my newspaper dry
I hear myself say
My boat's leaving now
So we shake hands and cry
Now I must wave goodbye
- Misread
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...
- Mrs Cold
Hey baby, Mrs. Cold
Acting so tough,
didn’t know you had it in you so be hurt at all
You waited too long
You should’ve hook me,
before I put my raincoat on
Oh can I get it
- Mrs. Cold
Hey baby, Mrs. Cold, acting so tough
Didn't know you had it in you to be hurt at all
You waited too long, you should've hooked me
Before I put my raincoat on
Okay I get it, okay I see
You were fronting because
You knew you'd find
- My ship isn't pretty
The telegraph gave us hope
Before was the silence and the panic it brought
The sky was the blankest sheet
We drew lines upon it
so our thoughts could meet
through cables black and cold
we carry our intentions to bridge
and bring home
- Never belong to you
So we meet again
after several years
several years of separation
moving on
moving around
Did we spend this time chasing the other's tail?

- Once Around The Block
You quiver like a candle on fire,
I'm putting you out,
Maybe tonight we could be the last shout,
'Cause I'm fascinated by your style,
Your beauty will last for a while.
You're feeling instead of being.
The more that I live on the inside,
- Parallel Lines
What's the immaterial substance
that envelopes two,
that one perceives as hunger
and the other as food.
I wake in tangled covers,
to a sash of snow,
you dream in a cartoon garden,
I could never know.
- parr-a-pluie
Je te tiens
chaudement
dans mes bras
écoute la pluie qui frappe
sur les fenêtres
J'ai perdu
la puissance de la solitude
- Peacetime Resistance
Feeling the comfort of eyes is your sole intention
We all want to be understood unconditionally
But you have to realize that a viewer needs distance
And the moment your wall melts down - the inside is outside
Maybe way back in the past when people were different,
shortening bonds made them last
Now we emphasize our difference
- power of not knowing
I see you changing girl
From Day to Day
Impressed by and trying to imitate
Those who are older
Those who are colder
Suddenly embarrassed by your age
Our bigger blessing, girl
- Renegade
I'm letting go
To see if you'll hold on to me
I'm in doubt
Of what is thought and what is real
In our room
Between the shapes I thought I knew
A guilty
- Riot On An Empty Street
Why, why so quiet
oh my mysterious country singer she asked
my life (love), it's a riot
I am climbing barricades in empty streets at night
when I'm down fighting shadows
twenty-five postcards in a box in my room
telephone conversations
- Rule My World
You set yourself above
That all forgiving god
You claim that you believe in
Your kind is gonna fall
Your ship is sinking fast
And all your able men are leaving
Only someone
- Scars On Land
We take what's dead
And breathe life in
And move like knives
Through scars on land
Still untouched
No stain of hands
Caramelized
- Second To Numb
He won't touch you anymore,
Staying at his side.
Half indifferent, half afraid,
It will only make you cry.
What is given can't be returned.
The cards are in our hands.
All that is living can be hurt,
- Singing Softly To Me
Things seem so much better when
they're not part of your close surroundings.
Like words in a letter sent,
amplified by the distance.
Possibilities and sweeter dreams,
sights and sounds calling from far away,
calling from far away.
I didn't know you then, now did I girl?
- Stay Out Of Trouble
I walked around for hours, two ten pence pieces in my hand
I was alone and freezing, still trying hard to understand you
I left the others knowing I had to work this by myself
but now the feeling's growing, I would be better off with their help
so baby, what we've got has lately, not been enough
- Summer On The Westhill
From my seat I see the fields move by,
colours strong- it's been a long, long time.
It's the first time I see summer on the Westhill.
I lean back and let my eyes just go
floating now where they want to float.
They seem to take to the horizon.
Now I know there is a world beyond
- Surprise Ice
When past sometimes takes you with soft hands
forcelessly 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 out on the bathroom floor thinking
of fair days your future may hold
- The Build-Up
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
- The Girl From Back Then
And I sat down and said
"I don't want to suffer"
But she told me
She had nothing to offer
No more
I sat down and said
"I don't want to suffer"
- the passenger
I didn't know you were there
until you said "hello."
You had been watching me
for I don't know how long.
I hit my head against the lamp,
as by surprise I stood up.
"Don't be afraid," you said,
"it's only me- The door wasn't locked."
- The Weight of My Words
There are very many things
I would like to say to you,
but I've lost my way
and I've lost my words.
There are very many places
I would like to go,
but I can't find the key
to open my door.
- Toxic Girl
In the sky the birds are pulling rain,
in your life a 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
- Una Ragazza in Due
Ormai ama me, e se verrà
Le parlerò carezzandola
Certo che il mio amor capirà
E poi mi dirà che ci sta
Mai le dirò (le dirò, le dirò, le dirò)
Che muoio per lei (le dirò) no (le dirò, le dirò)
La tratterò male
- Until You Understand
It's hard to stay, it's hard to look into your eyes
when I say I'm leaving
I can't be sure but I think I made up my mind
although your heart is bleeding
I wish the only one I had to be was me
for you to see this clearly
I wish the only thing I had to do was to
- Winning A Battle, Losing The War
Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain,
I'll be on my knees to feed her,
spend a day to make her smile again
Even though I'll never need her,
even though she's only giving me pain
As the world is soft around her,
leaving me with nothing to disdain.
