- Autumn Sweater
When I heard the knock on the door
I couldn't catch my breath
Is it too late to call this off
We could slip away, wouldn't that be better
Me with nothing to say, and you in your autumn sweater
I tried my best to hide
- Avalon Or Someone Very Similar
Avalon, how did these things happen? Avalon, tell me all you know
The perfect crime we laughed about it, laughed the whole night through
When we were caught, it was because of you
Talking about all that we once knew
Avalon, the clock is falling back now, Avalon, we'd be if we could
You used to say "the water's fine, nevermind the view"
- Barnaby, Hardly Working
For the moment slipped right through him
Combed his hair, combed his hair
Knew the feeling of contentment
An actors' actor, an actors' actor
She smiled a smile uncomprehending
As he took his time, took his time
Wore a hat, so he'd impress her
Took a ride, took a ride
- By The Time it Gets Dark
Baby, every cloud has a silver lining
Baby, every dog really has his day
And it matters to me to see you smiling
Why don’t we blow all your cares away?
Yesterday is gone and will be forgotten
And today is where every new day starts
Got to be free as the leaves in autumn
- By Two's
Wander along together by the edge of the river
Hush little baby, don't you cry? Cross over to the other side of the water
You and I, we could live in peace like this, in peace like this
Gaze up at the moon hanging low in the sky, onlookers appear around us
Gaze up at the moon hanging low in the sky as we slip away into the darkness
- Damage
Not much Friday night, pinball, Lower East Side
Walked halfway past and into the bar
I used to think about you all the time
I would think about you all the time
Now it just feels weird, that there you are
The damage is done
Feeling like a kid again, my eyes are glued to the floor
- Don't Have To Be So Sad
You and me were at some goldfish pond
And I, I was tagging along for the ride
All the big-mouthed fish really made us laugh
And while I stood still, I felt a chill
I thought that maybe you did too
I wanted to feel that way forever
And that's why if you're looking at me, I'll try
- Double Dare
I, I should know you shouldn't have to tell me
Sometimes it's the way we feel or the way we feel
We feel pretty bad
In a double dare he's got wandering eyes
And I see 'em look at you, looking straight at you
But I know where they are
I'll walk you home you take as long as it takes
- Everyday
I want summer's sad songs behind me.
I want a laugh a minute, without fail
Want to be Paul Le Mat in 1980
Looking to forget tomorrow, looking everyday.
I want to see you put your hands together.
I want to cross my heart
I want to hope to die
- Gentle Hour
It's such a pleasure to touch your skin
To touch your skin
It's such a pleasure to touch your heart
To touch your heart
I can hardly wait
I couldn't bare it, to live for fear
Of undressing you
- Hanky Panky Nohow
If the satcheting of gentlemen
Gives you grievance now and then
What's needed are some memories of planing lakes
Those planing lakes will surely calm you down.
Nothing frightens me more
Than religion at my door
I never answer panick knocking
- Last Days of Disco
Saw you at a party
You asked me to dance
Said music was great for dancing
I don't really dance much
But this time I did
And I was glad that I did this time
And the song said "Let's be happy"
- Let's Be Still
Let's be still, be still for awhile, there's no place I want to be
Lose our way and sit side by side passing time so carelessly, so carelessly
Along the shore, a quiet night, take off our shoes and watch the sky
Against the moon the clouds go by, I hold your hand, you start to cry
Lost in our dreams of summer love, the only place I want to be
Find a spot and hope no one tells, time goes by unendingly, unendingly
- Little Honda
I'm gonna wake you up early cause I'm gonna take a ride with you
We're going down to the auto shop, I'll tell you what we're gonna do
Get on the ride, no sweat, sure we'll take you anywhere you want me to
First gear, it's all right
Second gear, hang on tight
Third gear, ain't I right
Faster, it's all right
- Moby Octopad
Locked in a kiss, outsiders cease to exist
We'll shut it out (of the fist)
Outsiders cease to exist
We'll shut it out
Eight o'clock, the lights are on at Shea
Phone turned down, we've nothing much to say
Dozing off the TV drones
- more stars than there are in heaven
We'll walk hand in hand
Never understand
Take the hidden wish to death
And laugh and laugh and catch your breath
And forget that every word's been said
We'll walk hand in hand
We'll walk hand in hand
- Night Falls On Hoboken
Frightened face, worried dream, break my heart with your sad scream
Sun is down, spirits low, hate my impatience and here I go
Come on, let's leave our misery
And crawl toward where we want to be
Can't we try? Can't we try?
Come on, sleep one night peacefully
When I'll yawn all day easily
- Nothing But You And Me
Well, I don't care what's wrong or right when you're not there by my side
I just wonder what to do, well, if I can't have you
And I think about nothing much at all, nothing but you and me
And I'm pleading, can't we just be the way that we used to be?
Honey, wake up, won't you please come back to me?
Honey, think of, think of the way things used to be
If we make up, well, I won't ever be that bad
Honey, wake up and give me just one more chance, just one more chance
- Nowhere Near
Do you know how I feel, how I feel about you?
Do you know this is real? How I feel around you?
When I see you look at me I'm not sure of anything
All I know is when you smile I believe in everything
Do you know how I dream, how I dream about you?
Do you know how I feel? Do you know?
- our way to fall
I’m so sorry I’m not down tonight
But all my friends have lost their minds
And whats more…
…I’m not happy here anymore.
We should’ve stayed at home tonight.
All the bright lights and company
are not what I need.
- Periodically Triple Or Double
Never read Proust
Seems a little too long
Never used the hammer
Without somehow using it wrong
Ive got time on my hands
That I cant wash off
Im crusing..
I cant shake this car
- Saturday
The room was filled with talk for anyone listening
I found a spot by the door with no one around
Let my mind go out of tune, out of tune
I kept a smile on my face for anyone looking
Tried to turn away questions before he asked
- Season Of The Shark
Do you need someone to hide behind
Well I don’t mind
Well I don’t mind
Do you need to be alone to unwind
Well that’s alright
That’s alright
Sure I know its hard
Know that it’s that way for everyone
- Shadows
Scold me, that's all you've got to say
Coldly hurt me and turn away
You say I'm not sorry that
I'm resolved to what is next
I head for the shadows
Hold me, taking it back in tears
You've told me, slowly confessed your fears
- Stockholm Syndrome
What's the matter, why don't you answer
What's the matter with me
Cause it's so hard to be
Free and easy, we'll disappear completely
Hardly as I've known it's glad
You're heart is broken, and the doors are open
As you're hoping to be
- Sugarcube
whatever you want from me
whatever you want I'll do
try to squeeze a drop of blood
from a sugarcube
try to be more assured
try to be more right there
try to be less uptight
- The Crying Of Lot G
What did I miss here?
What can't you take anymore?
Expecting a whisper,
I heard the slam of a door
You say that all we ever do is fight
Gee, I don't know that that's true.
then I wonder, am I right?
- The Fireside
And if I go leaving much of life somewhere
Beyond the fireside somewhere
And when I'm gone lemme imagine life sometime
Please think of me, please think of me
ПЕРЕВОД
И когда уйду, оставляя большую часть жизни
- The Summer
On darkened streets tonight
I see a simple time
I see the warning light
When the summer comes undone
No sorry closing eyes
No cutting down to size
No other thoughts arise
- Tiny Birds
I will go if you say you'll go, do you want to go?
I won't talk at all but I'll go for a ride
I will go if you just let go, do you want to go?
Is it all because of the time I took your advice?
I will go if you still want to go, do you want to go?
And I will show what you want me to show, do you want to know?
Until there's nothing left in the world to show you
- Upside-Down
Mary calls from far away
sure there is another
Walks the floor cause she can't settle down
Waiting for the phone to ring
Stuck inside the bedroom
Drinks too much to make the room spin round
When she sits down
No one knows the world is upside-down
- winter a-go-go
On the beach overseas
Icy water slaps at our knees
And the buoy was signaling
As if it knew we were far from home
