Swedish singer/songwriter Jäje Johanson, who goes by the stage name Jay-Jay Johanson, infuses the measured, slow-burn aesthetics of downbeat and trip-hop with the metallic pulse of electro-pop, resulting in his own signature brand of film noir-imbued electronic melancholy. Born and raised in the city of Trollhättan, Johanson released his debut album, Whiskey, in 1996, followed by Tattoo in 1998. His third outing, 2000's Poison, featured Cocteau Twins founder/guitarist Robin Guthrie, and debuted at the number four spot on the French pop charts. Released in 2002, Antenna was recorded with the help of German IDM group Funkstörung, and 2005's Rush boasted contributions from French producer/multi-instrumentalist Jean-Pierre Ensuque. The following year, Johanson appeared on (as well as co-wrote) the track "Marble House" for the Knife's Silent Shout LP, and began work on 2007's The Long Term Physical Effects Are Not Yet Known. Spellbound, his eighth studio album, arrived in 2012.

It hurts me so It hurts me so To see you in that state you're in With a tear on your chin Tell me please what have I done It hurts me so To see you sitting by yourself With your head in your hands Tell me did I do you wrong I wanna know If I can say I'm sorry Stop crying Baby please don't worry When I listen to your story I'll softly dry your tears It hurts me so To hear you crying in your sleep Tell me what do you keep Down inside I wanna know So tell the girls that I am back in town I've been on the road I've been on vacation I've been travelling light to reach my final destination Now I'm coming home So tell the girls that I am back in town You'd better tell them to beware Well they may go or they might try to hide I follow on and I'll be there So tell the girls that I am back in town And if it's true I do not know That every girl around had missed me since I decided to go I could be your friend I could be your stranger I could be the one your mother said would be a danger Now it's up to you The girl I love is gone The girl I love is gone And I will never find a new But if one pass me by I'll still be wondering why I could not be the one for you The girl I love is gone And solitary fills my home It grieves me so to see You walking out on me And leave me standing all alone Well, it might be foolish of me There will be other girls that I will meet But still I'm neither young you see But that's the guarantee The girl I love is gone And things will never be the same The emptiness inside grows stronger every night And where are you to ease my pain The girl I love is gone For good, for good, for good Skeletal I use to get Flowers from girls in their bloom And I use to get Letters with a smell of perfume I use to be handsome and popular But what can I say It didn't take long til I called it a day But I'm older now, much older than I was when I was young I'm older now I use to be swinging the girls 'cross the floor and I use to be a lover like no one before And all the girls whispered and giggled and blushed when I passed But I know it's true that good things never last 'Cause I'm older now, much older than I was, when I was young Tell me like it is I wanna know if you've been true to me I've heard that you've been cheating with a friend I wanna know if you've been true to me I heard that you've been cheating with a friend Oh darling tell me like it is I wanna know Tell me like it is Or let me go Who's in your dreams Is it me or him Please honey let me know Please honey let me know But I'm older now, much older than I was, when I was young I fantasize of you Every night I go to sleep And begin to dream The story of my dream has got the same old theme It's you, baby, it's you Turn off the light Sit down on the couch Pour me a whiskey too Take off your dress I'll help you with that I fantasize of you The scent of your skin Gets to my head As the smoke from your cigarette do With Monk in the speakers And love in your eyes I fantasize of you I know I'm only dreaming Of spending my life with you But somehow I'm still believing It all one day will come true The ice in my glass Makes my lips so cold As I kiss you from top to toe You beg me to stop But I know you want more I fantasize of you Mana Mana Mana Mana Every night I go out And I must look like a fool When I'm standing looking at the sky I don't care 'cause perhaps I might see a falling star May be, Oh one day a dream'll come true Norma Leo Please fall down on me Virgo Hydra Please fall down on me

Even in the darkest hour Even in the darkest hour When the world is fast asleep I sit by candlelight with memories When the wind was oh so cold I used to hold you baby, hold I'd like to hold you in my arms just like before I thought I could live without you That it wouldn't be so hard But now when you going loco I'm left with my losing card How I wish the rain could fall like pearly dewdrops from the sky Similar to the teardrops falling from my eyes Quel Dommage Quel Dommage This was supposed to last forever I used to say it's now or never Quel Dommage Quel Dommage I never meant to cause you sorrow If it's gone today there's no tomorrow Quel Dommage I could be wrong I could be right Oh baby, don't turn on the lights You look so gorgeous in the light of the moon Stay until noon, my love But in the dark you went away All I can do now is to pray It seems that all you ever left in my room Was me alone again Milan, Madrid, Chicago, Paris Milan, oh! Madrid, Chicago, Paris I searched and I searched again I turned around to see if you were looking back I saw your eyes and fell in love I cought a glance of heaven but was thrown away So now my quest is search the world for you Milan, oh! Madrid, Chicago, Paris I search all over the world for you Havana, Berlin, Hawaii, Brasil I search and I search again My hope was running dry then finally one day I saw a face I've seen before You smiled at me but said I really care, I do But in love and married to another man Lychee I'm so tired of losing How am I supposed To know when you're not talking And feel when you don't show The chain around your neck will strangle you soon All that you still conceal The gum that you chew will suffocate you Secrets you should reveal I who tried to focus on every need Turned into an actor When showing how I feel The chain around your neck will strangle you soon All that you still conceal The gum that you chew will suffocate you Secrets you should reveal Such a big mistake And don't you dare deny It's hidden and forgotten You didn't even try The chain around your neck will strangle you soon All that you still conceal The gum that you chew will suffocate you Secrets you should reveal She's mine but I'm not hers There was a time when I was playing rough But nowadays I take it sort of cool Why do I feel this way I don't wanna be alone She's mine but I'm not hers Everytime we meet it's wonderful And though she only loves me as a friend I always want to see her But I hate to say goodbye She's mine but I'm not hers She's mine, she's mine She's mine but I'm not hers Now and then I meet her and her man I must admit I used to like him too But see them walk together It just makes me wanna cry She's mine but I'm not hers They always keep their TV on at night So no one in the house can hear them fight But I've seen the bruices And I know about the scars She's mine but I'm not hers She's mine, she's mine She's mine but I'm not hers Sunshine of your smile The sun always shines Since we got together There's no cloud in sight It confiscates the darkness Sunshine, sunshine It burns my skin Reminds me of the blush The first time we kissed The sunshine of your smile The sunshine of your smile It makes me warm The same kind of warmth As your embrace A ray of bright light Reflecting like a mirrorball Leaves sunstains on me Jay-Jay Johanson Votre nom : Jay-Jay Johanson Sexe : Masculine Nationalité : I am swedish Age : I'm twenty eight Votre taille : I'm sixt foot two Votre poids : Sixty two Signes particuliers : a lot of freckles Avez vous des tatouages : No not a single one, yet Où etiez vous Samedi soir ?

Sudden Death Try to see through false-coloured eyes Promise to act like grown-ups do Is it in my genes or jeans I do not know Stuck in a never-ending daydream A well-hidden secret all those years It's understood I send my regards to you Tears of joy to tears of despair Scratches my back with razor-sharp nails The queen is gone and there's no time to speak Still in an ever-lasting nightmare The song of a ghost is following me A salted truth out of false belief It's over, it's over, I will always remember you name It's over, it's over, and without you it won't be the same This sudden death is coming I guess I'm just a fool I guess I'm just a fool Still dreaming of you But the way the story ended What else can I do ? You said I was too good to you Too good and too sweet Back then you never turned Bitter and discreet Breaking up is always hard But this one was harder than the rest But in the end I hope I'll come out well I guess I'm just a fool What else can I do ? Friday at Rex She showed me how to dance on the floor The moves I could use Each Friday at the Rex we would meet Sometimes without words The doorman said if you had arrived What colours you wore I wish we could have stayed all night And never, never stop The DJ played the songs we choose Your moves just hypnotized me Oh how I wish he plays another song She always move her feet to the groove And all the heads turn So call your friends and bring them along And get down on the floor I'm here, I'm there I'm everywhere When I feel the beat With you in the round on the floor And love in your eyes The DJ played the songs we choose Your moves just hypnotized me Oh how I wish he plays another song I wish we could have danced all night And never, never stop The sly seducer The sly seducer came to town A time when everything was fine He turned this idyll upside down Laid sleezy hands upon what's mine He's dangerous The sly seducer, the sly seducer, the sly seducer stole my love The sly seducer, the sly seducer, the sly seducer stole my love He captures fragile guileless girls Vampire-teeth in virgin-necks And paralyses them with words Touch upon touch 'til it wrecks He's dangerous As the serpents touch The sly seducer stole my love
Poison
Believe in us It started out quite badly It only got worse She said that it depended on What's mine but I know It depended on what's hers It could have been perfect I guess you thought it was You didn't understand what Was wrong 'til I told you It wasn't worth the cost I thought it would be easy To break up with you But now when we've reached This certain point I'm no Longer sure how to do Of course you won't be sorry You've always said you're bored It's better if it ends right Here and now or maybe it'll End up in the morgue Oh darling please You believe in me I believe in you How come that you don't believe in us Colder (I want you no more) She said it's over She said I want you no more Over your shoulder And out through that door She's turning colder And I'm growing unsure Nobody told her I've been through this before Ever since the day She said these words to me I've had a hard time Thinking logically All I asked was Why can't you please explain For whatever reason You left me in this pain I just can't stand you anymore She said to me I really did appreciate Her honesty Even though it's not My habit to intrude I'm gonna find out Who's sleeping next to you
Keep it a secret You know I'm not a single man But anyway you think you can Come up to me and make a try By saying make this a night to remember What you said to me What you did to me What you wanted me to do What you said last night When you came up tight What was I supposed to do I don't know what made you believe My simple heart could be so weak That I could fall for your offence In saying make this a night to remember What you said to me What you did to me What you wanted me to do What you said last night When you came up tight What was I supposed to do Don't worry, don't worry You know my lips are sealed Alone again How could a love like ours come to an end We had it all but lost it 'round the bend There's something that I'll never understand Why now it seems like hurting's close at hand But I'm alone again, alone again Though the years that pass divide us I am alone again, alone again Something'll never keep us apart There's one love left between us that will stay When memories can slowly fade away Though feelings changed ever since we met Our little daughter won't let us forget But I'm alone again, alone again Though the years that pass divide us I am alone again, alone again Something'll always keep us close I see her one weekend now and then I've realized I'm like a long lost friend She has your eyes, your funny little smile Her lovely laugh brings you back for a while But I'm alone again, alone again Though the years that pass divide us I am alone again, alone again Our little daughter keep us close
Escape On a mountain up north I will build a small house Made of wood, stone and straw I'll let nobody in Neither family nor friends Nor the postman can come This escape can't keep going on 'Cause I can't take it no more I'm not so strong I will sit there and stare When the ocean runs wild Until I'll forget your name Then I'll burn up the straw Take it down stone by stone And make a raft of the wood Anywhere anytime Park the car, make it quick Wonderful, haggard girl Pale inspite Scandinavian sun Freckled arms, freckled face Grasstained jeans, bruiced knees Delicate with sneekers on Undressed now, hidden in bush Scotchtight skin round vertebrae Clinging on to velvet leaves Finished now, jump back in Red hot seat burns through skirt Just a kiss and we're on our way Anywhere anytime We'll be there Long before the others will Poison She's a flower she's a rose Wonderful when she's close But you'll see, don't say I didn't warn you Every rose has its thorn She poisoned me like a virus Her love is running through my veins She is extremely contagious All boys will get the same Blood red lips, lovely smile But behind something hides You will feel, late at night Razorteeth take a bite Memories bother me She comes back haunting me If I could meet her once again I'd do it all 'til the end Humiliation Underneath this surface exists A man with no strength to resist Lips are sealed unable to speak If you don't take these chains off me I hesitate too scared to believe Disregard the way I feel The time has come for you to decide Naked respect without denial How could I forgive and forget When you ignore and you regret Silent words, full of despise There's no return, some things must die Humiliation I don't understand myself Humiliation I don't recognize myself anymore Suffering Autumn is here inside my heart When there's springtime in the air Loneliness is tearing me apart Being lost makes me scared I keep on asking the gods above to send my love back to me Oh please let these days and weeks Pass by so quickly Nobody suffers like I do Nobody else, oh no Nobody suffers like I do Nobody else but you You had to leave, I know And we knew it would be tough You said you would be back soon Soon is not soon enough Through this waiting in vain All this darkness and pain I've been crying for you, now I'm dying When this test is at the end I hope you'll understand That you're all that I've got Oh darling Changed Poetry, painting and puzzles Occupied all of my life Until the day when I met you This changed Chemistry, cooking and cars Gave no time over for love But when I saw you I realized that Things can change Now when I'm safe and secure In peace at a harmless place Without surprises and action I'm getting bored Dramaclass, drinking and drugs Was close to breaking me down Now my priority's different I changed Far away Far away, once so close But now you're far away You're still here with me But not like yesterday, so far Far away, I hear you breathe But you're so far away Once so colourful But now all turns to grey, so far It's oh so strange When centimetres feels like miles Seconds like hours Now it's true love has died No more roads left to try, far away Far away, long ago When love was here to stay Now it's gone It doesn't matter what we say, so far Every word is like a knife But the silence cuts you twice Whispering words
It's Saturday evening I sit by the phone Planning to call you 'Cause I'm all alone I hesitate even though I can't wait To hear your whispering words Is someone there with you Or are you asleep Have you gone out dancing Or nightshift this week I still hesitate even though I can't wait To hear your whispering words If you'd pick up the phone I would tell you The most beautiful words I know If you'd answer now I would say it to you Over and over again Now I have the courage to give it a try I dial your number but it's occupied It's getting late and I still have to wait To hear your whispering words

All my teachers, Much greater than preachers All my teachers, Much better than their features I grew up in a rock block Wearing leather gear and zipper clock We kissed the girls and ran away Oh what a shame We were living on beat street When I started moving my feet To Flash and Zapp I joined the gang The kids they sang All my teachers, Much greater than preachers All my teachers, Much better than their features I remember when the pop died Didn't like it on the country side All the precious time I waste We changed the taste Moving on to a french house In the suburb of a funky town We worked and danced the night away The dj played All my teachers, Much greater than preachers All my teachers, Much better than their features All my teachers, Much greater than preachers All my teachers, Much better than their features This situation, The state I'm in This education, Can never win From technology to art school I developped my pop soul With all my electronic friends That never ends All my teachers, Much greater than preachers All my teachers, Much better than their features All my teachers, Much greater than preachers All my teachers, Much better than their features All my teachers, Much greater than preachers All my teachers, Much better than their features

Another nite another love
Another nite, another love Do you remember your emotions? Another nite, another love Do you remember your emotions? Too shy to make the first step Not confident enough Afraid to break the friendship We managed to build up Another nite, another love Do you remember your emotions? Another nite, another love Do you remember your emotions? The first time will keep you calm The second time will only make you wonder Another nite, another love Do you remember your emotions? I practice how to tell you But speechless then and there The time we say goodbye I regret I didn't dare Another nite, another love Do you remember your emotions? Another nite, another love Do you remember your emotions? The third time you'll be confused The last time will make your world go under Another nite, another love Do you remember your emotions? Another nite, another love Do you remember your emotions?

Rock it It's eleven, finally She's been working like a maniac since three Takes bus seven, going west She pass the drycleaning, picks up her favourite dress Oh-woo-ho She's gonna rock it tonight Get ready Nothing can stop it tonight Mocha brunette, slim and tall But during daytime noone sees her at all On friday nights, you can be sure The moment everybody's looking at her Oh-woo-ho She's gonna rock it tonight Get ready Nothing can stop it tonight They look at her like if she's crazy But the way she moves it just amaze me She knows excactly where to run Can take it further every time she's having fun Like a tornado, hurricane She's such a good time Can i see her again? Oh-woo-ho She's gonna rock it tonight Get ready Nothing can stop it tonight
I.O.U. my love If you just stop and listen Then you might hear the words That i've been trying to tell you I guess you never heard There's something about you baby I don't know what it is Can't put my finger on it I.o.u. my love I'm driving to the city Let's meet in the arcade I show you what i'm made of Pretend you never paid There's something about you baby I don't know what it is Can't put my finger on it I.o.u. my love It's getting past eleven When are you gonna come Feels like i've waited forever A double bed for one There's something about you baby I don't know what it is Can't put my finger on it I.o.u. my love

She Doesn't Live Here Anymore
I hear your voice I touch your hair I see the traces Everywhere This house of ours We used to share My dream has turned To nightmare I sleep no more I dream no more There's nothing here To wake up for I talk no more I sing no more Don't function like I did before Because she doesn't live here anymore She hardly calls at all Now when she's gone I find myself lost Staring at the wall I drink again I smoke again There's no one here To call my friend I swear again I'm mad again So troubled since I don't know when Because she doesn't live here anymore She hardly calls at all Now when she's gone I find myself lost Staring at the wall She doesn't live here anymore She hardly calls at all Since she's been gone there's nobody here To catch me when I fall
Time will show me First of all I'd like to tell you about a dream I had Long before I ever had the chance to meet you, girl Corridores I never walked along that leads nowhere After all It's all about the art of memory Time's gonna show me What you're hiding for me Songs for no bitter regrets Dialogues I never understood your strategy Horoscopes I know you're gonna keep it for yourself The end of us There's so much depending of the danger, no Turns to dust Won't make it easy on you anymore Time's gonna show me What you're hiding for me Songs for no bitter regrets Time's gonna show me What you're hiding for me Songs for no bitter regrets...
Coffin Do you remember A long time ago I made a raft out of wood Though the raft was washed upon a shore On an island without no name Everywhere I go Everywhere I hide Makes me feel no better Anything I do And anything I try Makes me feel much worse I started to dig a hole in the sand Longer and deeper than wide And from what was left I created a box That I gently placed in the grave Everywhere I go Everywhere I hide Makes me feel no better Anything I do And anything I try Makes me feel much worse I took a deep breath and sat down on the beach And started to count all the waves 'Cause all I could do now was wait for the tide To wash the traces away Everywhere I go Everywhere I hide Makes me feel no better Anything I do And anything I try Makes me feel much worse Everywhere I go Everywhere I hide Makes me feel no better Anything I do And anything I try Makes me feel much worse

Rocks In Pockets Pack your bags Keep it quiet So your dad doesn't wake up He'll be mad When he'll notice that you're gone Cross the field Through the trees Behind the curtain we take off Cut the leach Come with me We're on the run We don't need nobody's help We can make it on our own We just want you all to leave us alone We don't need nobody's help We can make it on our own We just want you all to leave us alone We got rocks in our pockets But nothing's gonna slow us down Leave a note with goodbye They're not gonna understand They believe that they're doing the best they can Down the stairs Out the door Here we are the motor's running So come on We're gonna need a big advance We don't need nobody's help We can make it on our own We just want you all to leave us alone We don't need nobody's help We can make it on our own We just want you all to leave us alone We got rocks in our pockets But nothing's gonna slow us down Checking in Checking out There's a blanket in the car I know it's cold But I will try to keep you warm Strike a match Hide the box To the smell of gasoline Take a breath We're gonna leave it all behind We don't need nobody's help We can make it on our own We just want you all to leave us alone We don't need nobody's help We can make it on our own We just want you all to leave us alone We got rocks in our pockets But nothing's gonna slow us down
As good as it gets Such a funny little song That I heard you hum at night Like a strange lullaby That made me fall asleep I tried to write it down Just as soon as I'm awake But it didn't came out right Better stick to counting sheep Is this, is this as good as it gets That's just what I ask myself Is, this, is this as good as it gets Who can answer that I recall a childhood dream I was standing on a roof But I didn't dare to jump 'Cause perhaps I couldn't fly But you pushed me and I fell And I folded out my wings And I never touched the ground It was not time to say goodbye Is this, is this, is this, is this, is this Is this as good as it gets That's just what I ask myself Is this, is this as good as it gets Who can answer that Is this, is this as good as it gets That's just what I ask myself Is this, is this as good as it gets Who can answer that Is this, is this as good as it gets That's just what I ask myself Is this, is this as good as it gets Who can answer that
Only For You It's only for you that I do this Every night, every day And what would you like me to show you What would you like me to say Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts There is a chance for future histories 'bout us Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts There is a chance for future histories 'bout us I know that you're watching me closely I know you see right through me So tell me what makes you excited Is this the way you want it to be Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts There is a chance for future histories 'bout us Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts There is a chance for future histories 'bout us You know I can't promise to make it Something was left unsaid The next thing you know I'll be different I guess it's all in your head Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts There is a chance for future histories 'bout us Despite these silent mysteries and certain violent cuts There is a chance for future histories 'bout us

Breaking glass I've been trying to heal your wounds Hope it's gonna be better soon What more can I do Oh, I wish I knew There's a chance that I wanna take And a fragile heart to unbreak But I don't know how Can you help me now To the sound of breaking glass We will reach our goal at last This is now Let's forget the past To the sound of breaking glass Everything we'll do will last This is now Let's forget the past Yes I know, I was there today Maybe I will go there again Nothing happened once Things I should have done Someone's standing there in the hall But then suddenly not at all Stood so close to me But I couldn't see To the sound of breaking glass We will reach our goal at last This is now Let's forget the past To the sound of breaking glass Everything we'll do will last This is now Let's forget the past
New Year's Eve Tonight it's New Year's eve Another year passed by Will you be there by my side I can feel tears begin Running down on my chin Twelve months of holding in it New Year's Eve Why you decide to choose me Delib'rately abuse me You let her say goodbye I keep on wandering When did you stop to sing I hope you'll find it one day New Year's Eve You've come just too confuse me And now in my rear view I see Now look what you have done New Year's Eve You never did seduce me There's not enough excuses What did I do so wrong I know we've both been trying There's been a lot of crying But also moments of laughs
Tell me when the party's over
We move closer and closer Without a sound Playing games with emotions That work is done Though time runs faster and faster We linger on Tell me when the party's over Call me when the music stops When your champagne glass is empty I will come and pick you up Tell me when the party's over Call me when the lights are out When everybody's left the building I'll be 'round Trying harder and harder When things goes wrong Constantly in confusion Burning so strong Changing plans with each other When days are long Tell me when the party's over Call me when the music stops When your champagne glass is empty I will come and pick you up Tell me when the party's over Call me when the lights are out When everybody's left the building I'll be 'round Not even teardrops can tear us apart No, not even teardrops can tear us apart Tell me when the party's over Call me when the music stops When your champagne glass is empty I will come and pick you up Tell me when the party's over Call me when the lights are out When everybody's left the building I'll be 'round
Prequiem
Cut your hair Change your name Every end is a new beginning It's over now But it will never be the same
Peculiar There she walks Acts like she doesn't see me She goes by the name Peculiar No one Cannot understand her methods For me she's the same Peculiar Peculiar You seem to know my secrets Peculiar You don't even know my name I take your hand And I keep on wandering You give me support Peculiar Bring books Let's spend the night together It's snowing again Peculiar Peculiar You seem to know my secrets Peculiar You don't even know my name Peculiar You seem to know my secrets Peculiar You don't even know my name

Wonder Wonders When the morning comes And the night is done I will be far gone without that race She will find the note I left her on the desk I've left this girl so many times before In this world that we know There's nothing that could make A decent woman of a girl like you In this world that we know There's nothing that could make A decent woman of a girl like you I wish she'd give a call To say hello that's all I wonder if she wonders where I am She's got her new friends now I pray to god she's fine I've tried to tell her time and time again In this world that we know There's nothing that could make A decent woman of a girl like you In this world that we know There's nothing that could make A decent woman of a girl like you Already kissed goodbye Promise please don't cry Bring me Bourbon and a hancer chief In this world that we know There's nothing that could make A decent woman of a girl like you In this world that we know There's nothing that could make A decent woman of a girl like you
Lightning strikes I close the curtains Won't let the day light in Put out the candles Pour another gin And when the lightning strikes The thunder's never far away And you're the lightning like I’m thunder on a foggy day Or so it seems, or so it seems Darkness approaching Guess there's a storm breaking in Rain drops increasing Stronger gets the wind Autumn brought shadows My days of mourning are through Gone is the sorrow The way my life has grown When the lightning strikes The thunder's never far away And you're the lightning like I'm thunder on a foggy day Or so it seems, or so it seems Chords on my piano Fading away in the room The ticking of a clock or Is it a metronome And when the lightning strikes The thunder's never far away And you're the lightning like I'm thunder on a foggy day Or so it seems, or so it seems
Autumn Winter Spring Oh please, can anybody help me This ain't the way it's supposed to be Oh no A cold breeze is blowing Makes my soul freeze The door is locked and there's no key Oh no, oh no We're passing through autumn, winter and spring Emotions have changed when summer begins We're passing through autumn, winter and spring Still fighting against the phantoms within Branches, each autumn see them loose leaves We're closer than we pretended to be Oh no Lately You cry out in your sleep The bed room's cold in times like these Oh no, oh no We're passing through autumn, winter and spring Emotions have changed when summer begins We're passing through autumn, winter and spring Still fighting against the phantoms within Oh please, can anybody help me This ain't the way it's supposed to be Oh no We're passing through autumn, winter and spring Emotions have changed when summer begins
Liar You tell me that you're lying But I know it's not true You say you didn’t do it But I'm sure it was you If I tell you that I love you Would that make me a liar too You tell me that you're lying But I know it's not true You say you didn’t do it But I'm sure it was you If I tell you that I love you Would that make me a liar too
Trauma We're going through a tough period now Facing problems new to us Growing stronger dealing with the past Nothing to be frightened of On the border line of silence Trauma setting in And the loneliness is killing me So you got to accept my apology Every struggle will unveil ourself No one's gonna mourn alone And we managed through a troubled sleep On the road to the unknown On the border line of silence Trauma setting in And the loneliness is killing me So you got to accept my apology 'Cause the loneliness is killing me It'll all become a catastrophe On the border line of silence Trauma setting in And the loneliness is killing me So you got to accept my apology Difficult enough to tell the truth I seek shelter on your side Never knowing if misunderstood Desperation is our guide
My mother's grave Sorry for the times I had to leave you alone In all the situations when I couldn't come home Sorry for the things I said, I was not my self It's getting late and I just wish I was somewhere else I should have brought apologies and flowers Instead I left and I was gone for hours I understand if you were disappointed last night So many times I tried but couldn't set things right Some times it's not enough with poor excuses But I just don't know the correct words to use And I promise and I swear on my mother's grave It never gonna happen again I practice every night that now my vision's too blur And nothing comes out right, it’s just them I hear that occur Sorry for the times I had to leave you alone In all the situations when I couldn't come home I should have brought apologies and flowers Instead I left and I was gone for hours And I promise and swear on my mother's grave It never gonna happen again And I promise and swear on my mother's grave It never gonna happen again
Broken nose Her nose is bleeding And just one arm away He promises it won't happen again And she believes him Makes her feel guilty For talking to another man Her throat is aching Black finger prints around her neck Are hidden by a scarf She can not hate him Part of her knows she has To leave before it goes too far Broken nose, broken heart The healing process doesn't know where to start Broken nose, broken heart Until death do us apart It's when he's drinking Just can't control himself Gets violent every single time Guess what she's thinking It could be worse And when he's sober he's so very fine Broken nose, broken heart The healing process doesn't know where to start Broken nose, broken heart Until death do us apart The neighbours know it If she won't do it they all Threaten her to call the cops Finally in peace This guy won't touch me now Under this stone it has stopped Broken nose, broken heart The healing process doesn't know where to start Broken nose, broken heart Until death do us apart Broken heart The healing process doesn't know where to start Broken nose, broken heart Until death do us apart
Medicine It's empty on the streets by now The shops have all closed down And people packed and moved away Far from this scary town It's quiet from the bars and clubs The bands don't play no more Pain always follows joy The days go by and I endure And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude No lights in any windows There's no smoke from chimney pots And when the green light turns to red There's not a car that stops I still can here the schoolyard bell But there's no kids insight The sound of silence is what's left When ghosts come out at night And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude *** Sample *** And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude And there's no medicine to cure This silent solitude
Make her mine Silence gets closer Sarcastic routine Problems are growing somber Stories are written entirely itself Lend me near, bring misery my friend Make her mine, make her mine Standing in the line, make her mine Make her mine, make her mine Standing in the line, make her mine In the beginning There's nothing to fear How could I explain it better Should have been wiser It's been far too long There's too many ways To say what I'm gonna say Make her mine, make her mine Standing in the line, make her mine Make her mine, make her mine Standing in the line, make her mine A nature like your scan Turn trouble to good I'm changing my weapon To arrow and bow again Make her mine, make her mine Standing in the line, make her mine Make her mine, make her mine Standing in the line, make her mine
Sore There must be some sort of misunderstanding It was never my intention to do you wrong Rumours made you leave Out of reach for me So much further away now you're almost gone Here we are now Making each other cry Where could this lead us but down In the morning light Nothing seems so right I don't know what they have told you But trust in me Are your feeling sore Reaching out for more May be what we had be come was not meant to be Here we are now Making each other cry Where could this lead us but down It's up to you to decide It's up to you to decide

Driftwood
I heard you knocking on my door One day the driftwood finds a shore I should have opened right away But couldn't find a word to say What ever keeps you wake at night Will also get you through the day Give me some time to think things through It's such a long long time ago I guess I learn from my mistakes Why did you leave me standing here

Dilemna I don't wanna be your boyfriend I don't wanna be your husband And the reason, I'll tell you I'm already with someone I don't wanna be your best friend I don't wanna be your one night stand And the reason, I'll tell you I'm already with someone And it's not that I don't really fancy you And it's not that you're not my type of girl But I don't wanna be your next prey I don't wanna be a shoulder to cry on And the reason, I'll tell you I'm already with someone I don't wanna be your boyfriend I don't wanna be your husband And the reason, I'll tell you I'm already with someone I don't wanna be your best friend I don't wanna be your one night stand And the reason, I'll tell you I'm already with someone And it's not that I don't really fancy you And it's not that you're not my type of girl But I don't wanna be your next prey I don't wanna be a shoulder to cry on And the reason, I'll tell you I'm already with someone
Shadows Our shadows lay over fields Where the days expire Bare in this grass by the pond Your beloved body I admire Splendour Getting closer to real enlightment Whisper Hundred thousand eyes witness silent Underneath the constellation of the stars Time's passing by And observes us with saddened poses Hidden in ferns in this garden Where midnight linger in overdoses Splendour Getting closer to real enlightment Whisper Hundred thousand eyes witness silent Underneath the constellation of the stars

On the other side I should have walked out slowly I ran as fast I could With angry dogs behind me Sirens in the neighbourhood I don't know how to pronounce it I can't even spell it right But it all became much tougher When I fell asleep that night When we meet on the other side Will you recognize me then Can we take up from our last goodbye Or back from start again You always woke me up so early Now I stay too long in bed Guess I just can't find a reason Why I should get up instead When we meet on the other side Will you recognize me then Can we take up from our last goodbye Or back from start again I guess can remember Every nightmare that I've had But my only consolation Is to go to sleep again When we meet on the other side Will you recognize me then Can we take up from our last goodbye Or back from start again Or back from start Again

Suicide is painless Through early morning fog I see The visions of the things to be The pains that are withheld from me I realise and I can see That suicide is painless It brings on any changes And I can take or leave it if I please The game of life is hard to play I'm gonna loose it anyway But losing cards are some days late This is all I have to say Suicide is painless It brings on any changes And I can take or leave it if I please The sword of time will pierce our skin It doesn't hurt when it begins But as it works its way on in The pain grows stronger watch it grin Suicide is painless It brings on any changes And I can take or leave it if I please A brave man once requested me To answer questions that I keep "Is it to be or not to be" And I reply "Oh why ask me ?" Suicide is painless It brings on any changes And I can take or leave it if I please And you can do the same thing if you please

Monologue Am I only dreaming Is this to believe in Maybe it's just a fantasy Or is it really happening Happening to me I was always lonely Thinking love was only Meant for those in fairytales Never to be ours one day Never to be ours Bird has lost a feather Fallen fruit we gather Wind blows in the roseries Whisper secrets in the trees For us to unreveal Hear the bells above us Call the seasons of lust Nature's dancing dressed in green To a distant tambourine Distant, so are we Am I only dreaming Is this to believe in Maybe it's just a fantasy Or is it really happening Happening to me
Blind I've been so blind I've been so blind I've been so blind I've been so blind I've been searching every stone Taken every path unknown Followed where the wind has blown I've been so blind I've been climbing every tree After swimming the darkest sea Nothing did appear to me I've been so blind I didn't see that she was standing Right in front of me I never noticed she'd been walking Right here beside me I didn't hear that she was singing All my favourite songs She had been there waiting All the time, all the time She's the woods and I'm the moss She’s the sky now filled with stars In the fire I'm the branch I've been so blind I didn't see that she was standing Right in front of me I never noticed she'd been walking Right here beside me I didn't hear that she was singing All my favourite songs She had been there waiting All the time, all the time I've been so blind I've been so blind I've been so blind I've been so blind
The Chain I would like to take a walk with you But I'm scared it's gonna rain Just a picnic in the park for two But the gardener will complain I've been followed by the worst of luck Maybe you can break this chain Come with me, come with me Darling can't you see I'm in love All I dream of is a date with you But I don't even know your name Should I ask you out for bowling night Maybe it's not your favourite game I've been followed by the worst of luck Maybe you can break this chain Come with me, come with me Darling can't you see I'm in love
An Eternity
Listen carefully now You are gonna be upset But I have to leave Maybe I'm not coming back This is the last verse of our song Tomorrow I'll be gone Let's make this moment last an eternity I'd love to stay But it's just not possible Oh please don't cry We'll meet if I return This is the last verse of our song Tomorrow I'll be gone Let's make this moment last an eternity The final chapter of our book A last supper we will cock And make this moment last an eternity An eternity Calm down my love We ain't got much time left I know it will be long Hope you'll be here when I come back This is the last verse of our song Tomorrow I'll be gone Let's make this moment last an eternity The final chapter of our book A last supper we will cock And make this moment last an eternity An eternity, an eternity
Spellbound They gather driftwood on the beach Collecting branches, raking leaves Looks like they're gonna make a fire I guess it's that time of the year
Out Of Focus For an hour every year Sitting in his comfortable chair His instruments Controlling my refractive state By changing settings Reading the letters on the chart Change eye and take it from the stars Shifting lenses It’s better this way or that A perfect vision Every hour that she's here I see her sitting in my comfortable chair No instruments Could control our delicate state We’re changing settings And because of the tears in my eyes I saw her leaving out of focus Because of the tears in my eyes I saw her leaving out of focus Because of the tears in my eyes I saw her leaving out of focus
Cockroach
Coincidence When every shortcut takes you far And logic makes no sense We all prefer to see at as A small coincidence I recognize no way of life that I can call my own I only see directions pointing towards the unknown But somewhere someone cross the street And so we meet again When every shortcut takes you far And logic makes no sense We all prefer to see at as A small coincidence I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake The rocks that smash the boat at night And winds that torture sea The sound of storms and thunder that creep closer as we breathe And as we wish for silent waters Noise floods over us When every shortcut takes you far And logic makes no sense We all prefer to see at as A small coincidence
Mr Fredrikson In the shadow of the darkest hour I hear them talk, it all turned sour I can feel there's something going on Between you and Mr Fredrikson If it's true, you can be sure I will be gone By the morning Many times I've tried to figure out For what reasons you're behaving like you do I don't understand what it's all about It came without warning I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake What can I say What can I do It's too hard to let you go I know I've got some problems But so do you In the shadow of the darkest hour I hear them talk, it all turned sour I would like you to be honest with me now And tell me the truth about the two of you If you love him and there's nothing I can do It's goodbye It's very hard for me to do this thing Maybe it's better if you tell me that we're thru And if he can make you happy, run to him I'm gonna cry What can I say What can I do It's too hard to let you go I know I've got some problems But so do you In the shadow of the darkest hour I hear them talk, it all turned sour In the shadow of the darkest hour I hear them talk, it all turned sour
I Miss You Most Of All I miss you most of all When I wake up in the morning And when you're not here by my side When I go to bed at night That's when I miss you the most I miss you most of all When I stroll along the river I see couples hand in hand Families playing in the sand That's when I miss you the most I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I say to myself Get a hold of yourself Can't you see that she Is never coming back I miss you most of all When arriving in an airport People in the waiting room Hugging loved ones who come home That's when I miss you the most I miss you most of all Every moment I feel hungry When I'm in a restaurant At a table just for one That's when I miss you the most And so I say to myself Get a hold of yourself Can't you see that she Is never coming back I say to myself Try to find someone else Gotta try to move on Get back on the right track
Orient Express We leave the station barely moving And slowly begin to accelerate So we raise our glasses for a last time I don’t remember what we celebrate And we said our first hello On the Orient Express We got plenty of time to kill And we sang and danced away On the Orient Express To the rhythm of the wheels of steel I can hear them laughing In the restaurant You took me walking down the avenue So we blow the candles Make our wishes How I wonder if they’re ever coming true I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake And we said our first hello On the Orient Express We got plenty of time to kill And we sang and danced away On the Orient Express To the rhythm of the wheels of steel We’re getting closer to hundred miles an hour When I saw a figure standing on the rails I start to panic as the train’s approaching It’s too late to pull the breaks And we said our first hello On the Orient Express We got plenty of time to kill And we sang and danced away On the Orient Express To the rhythm of the wheels of steel And we fell in love On the Orient Express On this never ending journey home And we kissed our last goodbye On the Orient Express There’s no turning back along the road
Hawkeye Still searching But I haven't found her yet Still searching She seems so so hard to get Sometimes I wish that I had forgotten That every picture disappear They bring back memories what once was and When you were near I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I'm searching Roam the streets that we used to walk Find nothing Guess I'd need the eyes of a hawk My heart turned cold when we two parted And I still suffer from this chill You left me here all broken-hearted With a space to fill But one day I guess I'll bump into her Without warning But possibly not until I've stopped searching

Antidote I think I have to go I’ve already had enough I gotta get back home Waking up will be quite rough You should have told me to stop long ago But I stayed til the end of the show I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I need an antidote Or maybe just plenty of sleep I’m gonna stay in bed Until this is over I don’t wanna wake up anymore I want it back like it was before And I regret that I followed you when I had promised not to go there again I need an antidote I wanna get better soon I need an antidote And there’s noone to blame but myself So impossible to ask you for help You should have told me to stop long ago But I stayed til the end of the show I need an antidote Or someone to turn back the clock I need an antidote I need an antidote
The Beginning of the End of Us Once upon a time The girl of mine came over Just to say goodbye I was in love with her She was in love as well But with someone else Someone else I sink into nostalgia Again, solitude The beginning of the end of us Ashes to ashes, dust to dust The beginning of the end of us Ashes to ashes, dust to dust I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake And one magic day I saw her close her sad eyes When she passed my way Oh I loved her so She loved me in return It's the greatest thing I've ever learned I've ever learned I still follow your footsteps The trails in the mud The beginning of the end of us Ashes to ashes, dust to dust The beginning of the end of us Ashes to ashes, dust to dust I sink into nostalgia And deeper despair The beginning of the end of us Ashes to ashes, dust to dust The beginning of the end of us Ashes to ashes, dust to dust
Forgetyounot Many years have passed between us Many letters have been burnt As I struggle to remember All the lessons that've been learnt I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I can see it all before me But the details slowly fade I will forget what you said Forget what you did But I never forget how you made me feel I will forget what you said Forget what you did But I never forget how you made me feel So much time spent contemplating Crossed the bridge of no return Cheerish all the broken fragments But lost everything we earned I can see it all before me But the details slowly fade I will forget what you said Forget what you did But I never forget how you made me feel I will forget what you said Forget what you did But I never forget how you made me feel I forget you not, I forget you not I forget you not I forget you not, I forget you not I forget you not I can see it all before me But the details slowly fade I will forget what you said Forget what you did But I never forget how you made me feel I will forget what you said Forget what you did But I never forget how you made me feel
Laura If you have a chance to meet a girl like Laura You must promise me you'll never let her go Every day you have to tell her you adore her And make sure that it shows She might be the girl next door, maybe your neighbour Or she might be living just across the street Quite naive, perhaps it's just one thing about her But still she's so unique With her newspaper spread over her head As a temporary shelter in the rain I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I was looking by chance through her open window And I saw her seated silent in her chair Sad expression on her face and with her chin low Does she noticed I was there Laura came by on her way to an audition Said she had some really important words to share All these little things that makes you keep on wishing One day she would say je t'aime With her newspaper spread over her head As a temporary shelter in the rain

Drowsy / Too Young To Say Good Night Drowsy on a subway train I can hear you call my name Is it my imagination? Then like through a misty haze I can see the cutest face Yawning when I exit on my station Home to me or home to you It doesn't matter, you can choose We drag ourselves through darkness This town is asleep It's not cold, it's not warm We're not hungry anymore And nothing can disturb us We're busy like this I know we should be sleeping But we're much too young to say good night I guess I should be leaving But we're too in love to say goodbye I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Dancing barefoot on broken glass Contemplating modern jazz Smoking by the open window Throw the alarm clock off the roof Soon the dawn will bring this quiet Situation back to life Let this moment linger on Forever's not enough I know we should be sleeping But we're much too young to say good night I guess I should be leaving But we're too in love to say goodbye It would be so fine One more glass of wine Her unkempt hair tangled in mine Sinking deeper, climbing higher I see the trembling in your eyes Moonshine Sitting by the fire drinking moonshine Slowly leaning over for a kiss Saying to me honey oh you're so fine You know it could be yours, all of this Let's take our time, and we'll stay the night We get high as the moon above This is just like in the movies, you say Just like in the movies, but I sense It has a tragic end I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Take your daddy's car and come on over We drive up to the top of the hill With dirty nail and heavy smell of Red Bull My baby's bringing out a bag of pills Let's make a fire, and we'll stay the night We get high as the moon above This is just like in the movies, you say Just like in the movies, but I sense It has a tragic end Oh oh, a tragic end, oh oh oh oh This is just like in the movies, you say Just like in the movies, but I sense It has a tragic end You put the radio on, I hear you singing Trying to light up a cigarette The music's good, come on let's see you swinging Moving like a cut out silhouette It's you I desire, come on, let's stay the night We get high as the moon above This is just like in the movies, you say Just like in the movies, but I sense Just like in the movies, you say It has a tragic end Be Yourself You say you're ordinary On the contrary I think you're an extraordinary girl There's nothing as unique as Being exactly who you are, who you are Be yourself I see so many people Ridiculous people Trying very hard to be Something they're not So very superficial Makes them not special They’re all the same, all the same Be yourself Be yourself Nobody does it better than you Be yourself Nobody does it better than you You and I we're very different Very individual Each others opposites attracts I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake And one thing I love about you You follow no leaders You go your own way, your own way Be yourself Be yourself Nobody does it better than you Be yourself Nobody does it better than you Be yourself I Love Him So You seem so confident I feel so unsure When I take you in my arms And lead you through the door We knew this day would come We prepared us well What result will come out of this Only time will tell I love him so Your little hand in mine Squeeze my finger hard I can feel your little heart Oh it beats so fast They give you something now I don't know what it is And on the count to three You will be asleep I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake One Two Three I love him so NDE I've been reminded of it lately I guess the gods above must hate me I always thought I was immortal Now I know I gotta think of what's important I don't remember how it started Maybe too many years of heartache Now I could see my life in review Was it real Or just an endless lucid dreaming Oh it's frightening (it's frightening) But yet so delightful (delightful) I saw a strong light in the tunnel Shining brighter than the sun, and Knocking on the door to heaven I heard a sound Backing up the singing angels Oh it's frightening (it's frightening) But yet so delightful (delightful) I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I wasn't climbing up a stairway More like floating, drifting away A sense of total painlessness But who knows Maybe it's just hallucinations Suddenly leaving my own body Until I'm floating right above it I could see myself immobile Out of reach Turning pale and almost blue eyed Oh it's frightening (it's frightening) But yet so delightful (delightful) I Don't Know Much About Loving I don't know much about loving I never had the chance to get to know But I would like to learn it all from you I don't know much about loving I don't know much about women I met a few but nothing lasted long I never figured out what I did wrong I don't know much about women Would you teach me, teach me, teach me Every day you show me something new Would you teach me, teach me, teach me Each moment I pick up a thing or two I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I've never been a seducer I guess I'm just too shy to even dare That makes it hard to show I really care I've never been a seducer Would you teach me, teach me, teach me Every day you show me something new Would you teach me, teach me, teach me Each moment I pick up a thing or two I've become an expert on lonely I've learned enough about loneliness before I don't want to study that subject anymore I've had enough of being lonely Scarecrow If I recall the things we used to do It seems I had this strange effect on you The closer we got you moved further away Further away The fog got thicker and the clouds broke up The ghosts were dancing and refused to stop It all appeared completely indistinct So indistinct I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake Since you said goodbye All I do is fantasize That for another moment I can look into your eyes Since you said goodbye Said goodbye Although the darkest nights for us were made The moon was full but it refused to stay And morning light always returns too soon Much too soon There will be many other nights like this But never other lips that I may kiss I won't be standing here with someone new I'll wait for you Since you said goodbye All I do is fantasize That for another moment I can look into your eyes Since you said goodbye Said goodbye I won't be here to see your beauty fade Each night that follows wear a darker shade And we'll go wandering under the stars Never more I Can Count On You I know the key to your front door Is still hidden in the same place as before And knowing that I can come and go As I want to is so generous of you I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake You always make me feel so very welcome It's a kindness rare to find And when I've been through trouble You've been there to help me find A place to hide I can count on you When I don’t know where I'm going When I'm lost and when in doubt When I don't know what I'm doing You help me find a way out Many nights I've been sleeping In the Junkyards and on benches In the park You're the only one who would Always accept a collect call from a far I can count on you When I don't know where I'm going When I'm lost and when in doubt When I don't know what I'm doing You help me find a way out I'll always be so thankful for The times I've been sleeping On your couch And thinking of it makes my Lonely heart warm And you've kept it warm Since day one Alone Too Long I'd never been as struck before that hour Suddenly appeared her figure like a flower What is full of taste now used to be so sour Got nothing to resist her now I'm overpowered Just a sudden love and oh so sweetly She stole my heart oh so completely I've been alone, alone, too long I've been alone, alone, too long Now it's gone I must have turned pale, in a deadly shade And my two numb legs refused to walk away My body seemed like it had turned to clay Moulded into this And put in an oven for a day Just a sudden love and oh so sweetly She stole my heart oh so completely I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake I've been alone, alone, too long I've been alone, alone, too long Now it's gone I couldn't see a thing, I couldn't say a word And as she spoke the loveliest song I ever heard And then something I can't explain occurred And all I knew before was gone within a blur Just a sudden love and oh so sweetly She stole my heart oh so completely I've been alone, alone, too long I've been alone, alone, too long Now it's gone
Celebrate the wonders You close your eyes To protect from the world outside You close your eyes And pretend it’s not there You hide your smile Maybe just for another day You hide your smile When you say nothing’s real But take a look Celebrate all the wonders Realize how much fun there is When you open your eyes You close your heart Let the happiness in for once You close your heart still afraid it will show It’s not the way That our beautiful worlds collide It’s not the way All the flowers may grow I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake But take a look Celebrate all the wonders Realize how much fun there is When you open your eyes Just take a look Celebrate all the wonders Realize how much fun there is So much beauty to find
Bury The Hatchet
Paranoid I don't think you really love me anymore You say you do but it doesn't feel quite like before You're getting easily angry and I don't wanna fight Oh no, but something doesn't feel right You don't answer the mails I send to you And you're not calling back like you say you'd do Nowadays you hang out with your friends at night Nothing wrong with that but something doesn't feel right you always copy, paste and cheat I'm sorry I know that I should trust in you forever And I'm just paranoid Paranoid I'm sorry I have to try to stop being suspicious I know I'm paranoid Paranoid You're not coming home directly after work Just sneak in softly through the front door in the dark Feels like a long time since I saw you in the light Oh no, something doesn't feel right You seem so thrilled when you mention a new friend of yours How he's sweet and funny and smarter than me of course And you're laughing with him when I'm out of sight It's ok by me but something doesn't feel right I'm sorry I have to stop with these false accusations I'm being paranoid Paranoid I'm sorry I guess I'm just too scared of being lonely And I'm just paranoid I hear the ghosts they whisper secrets in my ears Saying dirty things I just don't wanna hear I can't believe it's true, I tell them to quiet Oh no but something doesn't feel right I don't think you really love me anymore You say you do but it doesn't feel quite like before You're getting easily angry , you know I don't wanna fight Oh no, but something doesn't feel right I am sorry I know that I should trust in you forever And I'm just paranoid Paranoid I'm sorry I have to stop being so suspicious I know I'm paranoid Paranoid You'll Miss Me When I'm Gone I see you running But no one's chasing you around I guess it's your memories And your shadow on the ground You're never thankful for what you've got But you'll miss me when I'm gone you always copy, paste and cheat Sometimes it seems like We're losing the game Long time before We've even started to play You're never thankful for what you've got But you'll miss me when I'm gone You're never thankful for what you've got But you'll miss me when I'm gone Maybe you feel like You've been waiting like forever But sometimes it's obvious That you get what you deserve You're never thankful for what you've got But you'll miss me when I'm gone 'Cause you're never thankful for what you've got, no But you'll miss me when I'm gone When I'm gone Don't look at the window When you're afraid of the dark The man on the outside looking in Is just a branch You're never thankful for what you've got But you'll miss me when I'm gone You're never thankful for what you've got But you'll miss me when I'm gone November No birds, no bees No leaves on trees November No butterflies No sun kissed skies November No stories told No hand to hold November No kiss goodnight No love in sight November you always copy, paste and cheat You remember when we first met, don't you You recall our very first kiss, don't you But it all was blown away When autumn wind appeared Was our short affair much more romantic Laying on the beach with cotton candy But I haven't seen you since Your suntan disappeared You know our love was burning like a candle But the fire was too hard to maintain In the rain, oh When the summer ended you ignored me Not like in the heat when you adored me Now you're gone I was abandoned like a summer cat No birds, no bees No leaves on trees November No butterflies No sun kissed skies November You'll regret it when you're lonely, won't you When you lay awake at night I haunt you In the cold November rain I stood alone and wept Come inside my eyes And dry those tears before they fall Catch the drops because they will speak A thousand words, oh You remember when we first met, don't you You recall our very first kiss, don't you But it all was blown away When autumn wind appeared No birds, no bees No leaves on trees November No butterflies No sun kissed skies November No stories told No hand to hold November No kiss goodnight No love in sight November She's Almost You There's a girl here sitting next to me She reminds me of you Something in her eyes and the way she smiles I can say she's almost you When I look at her in certain ways I pretend I'm seeing you It's both the ways she walks and how she talks That makes me feel she's almost you And the spell you put on me Made you come back haunting me So I haven't got the ghost of a chance She's almost you you always copy, paste and cheat Slowly moving closer to me now Shall we share a glass or two When I hear her whisper in my ear I realize she's almost you And the spell you put on me Made you come back haunting me So I haven't got the ghost of a chance She's almost you And the spell you put on me Made you come back haunting me Then I haven't got the ghost of a chance She's almost you I guess this could never work Not with someone like her 'Cause I'd always reminded of how much She's almost you And the spell you put on me Made you come back haunting me So I haven't got the ghost of a chance 'Cause the spell you put on me Made you come back haunting me Then I haven't got the ghost of a chance She's almost you She's almost you She's almost you She's almost you Bury The Hatchet Let's stop fighting Let's stop arguing Resolve this quarrel And make peace Can we bury the hatchet And

the hatchet And become friends again Snakes in The Grass I don't wanna know Exactly who you want to be You keep it for yourself And maybe that's the way it should be I got nowhere else to go Lost everything you've given to me I listen but you won't tell My eyes are open but I can't see I don't wanna hear What you are expecting from me You're dragging me through hell You play me like a lion to feed The voices in my ears Keep telling me that this can't be real I must be someone else Nothing's like it appears to be you always copy, paste and cheat I guess I'm just a snake in the grass If you can't trust me I guess I'm just a snake in the grass If you can't trust me I gotta change this skin That I'm a prisoner in I know you're standing near Don't hesitate come closer to me You got nothing to fear The truth is often harder to see Imagine with your eyes closed Unconscious you're pretending to be Someone you were before You're trying but can't find what you seek I guess I'm just a snake

Never let that kid inside you die

Wreck All alone in the dark No one knows my name Once a ship I was conquering every wave It's a long time since I disappeared On the bottom of the sea I'm a wreck, I'm not moving But i'm not dead I'm still breathing down here on the ocean bed I've been sinking as low as I can sink To the bottom of the sea I never said this would be easy But I'll never, never stop Believing I'll be found No one search anymore They've forgotten me So much fog on the windows of all my dreams And my corpse has slowly disappeared On the bottom of the sea Once the wind in my sails was carrying me Then it turned me around into the deep And this stormy night the seagulls cried When I sank to the bottom of the sea you always copy, paste and cheat I never said this would be easy But I'll never, never stop Believing I'll be found Rainbow (Feat. Lucy Belle Guthrie) I look at all the colours of the rainbow It makes me feel much better when I'm blue I love all the colours of the rainbow It makes me glad 'cause it reminds me of you I look at all the colours of the rainbow It makes me forget my troubles when I'm blue I love all the colours of the rainbow It makes me happy every time I feel low Red and orange, yellow or green Blue and indigo or violet Red and orange, yellow or green Blue and indigo or violet I look at all the colours of the rainbow It makes me feel much better when I'm blue I love all the colours of the rainbow It makes me glad 'cause it reminds me of you I look at all the colours of the rainbow It makes me forget my troubles when I'm blue I love all the colours of the rainbow It makes me happy every time I feel low What's your favourite colour?

Yes And growing up in England, you must have seen the rainbow pretty often Fairly often, yeah I never really knows what it wants to do Sun or rain so, yeah, rainbow was pretty frequent We still get a lot of them now, living in Bristol I have actually seen more double or triple rainbows living in Bristol than I did in London Which is beautiful Red and orange, yellow or green Blue and indigo or violet Red and orange (red and orange) Yellow or green (yellow or green) Blue and indigo (blue and indigo) Or violet (or violet) I look at all the colours of the rainbow It makes me feel much better when I'm blue I love all the colours of the rainbow It makes me glad 'cause it reminds me of you I look at all the colours of the rainbow (the rainbow) It makes me forget my troubles when I'm blue I love all the colours of the rainbow It makes me happy every time I feel low Rainbow, rainbow Funny little rainbow I always stop and admire how Beautiful you are when you appear Rainbow, rainbow Magic little rainbow You never cease to impress me But how sad it is When you so quickly disappear Nightmares are dreams too Next time you wish for your dreams to come true Remember Nightmares are dreams too you always copy, paste and cheat You look at all that glitters and swoon Remember A diamond is only a stone
KINGS CROSS Not Time Yet It's not time yet I'm not done yet I haven't finished what I started I'm not ready to leave yet I just can't go right now It's much too early Please, let me stay Just a little bit longer I've been walking on the edge For too long oh yeah But there's no easy way to say I leave you And there's no easy way to say goodbye Goodbye It's all gone now It feels so wrong now But sure I'm grateful, so thankful I've done so much more Than I ever thought it was possible I've been walking on the edge For too long now oh yeah But there's no easy way to say I leave you And there's no

all over I can't hide anymore I must go now The fog is rising I don't know where we're going yeah But I'm not frightened Heard Somebody Whistle (Eld & Lågor OST) I woke up awfully early Something disturbed my sleep Out through an open window came This simple melody I heard somebody whistle I had to stop and listen Surrounded by the city noise Machines and screaming cars A tiny sound my attention caught Out from a crowded bar I heard somebody whistle I had to stop and listen I heard somebody whistle I had to stop and listen I tried to sit and compose It happened just the other day When through the open balcony door I was transported away Smoke The smoke from a cigarrette Is all that I need To get transported back in time To the moment you were mine The fumes slowly drift away Through the room in a cloud of grey You consume me like a flame But it'll never be the same When you caress me between your fingers The excitement lingers, I can't wait no more And when you slide me between your soft lips How I longed for this bittersweet kiss I'm glowing And you start to cry When the smoke gets in your eyes You say it makes you feel alive But those tears you can not hide You swallow What you know will kill you I guess that's a part of the thrill, no I go to your head When you breathen me in I make you numb On your precious skin You light me up and you watch me burning Darling, how I'm yearning For a lover's touch When you inhale I can feel you tremble Though it's such a gamble Take another drag The smoke from a cigarrette Is all that I need To get transported back in time To the moment you were mine You were mine Were mine Lost Forever First the shock Hits you hard Like a car crash into trees Then denial Oh no this Can't be happening to me Now the anger Coming strong Can't control my violent throughts Slowly fear comes Crawling in What am I supposed to do How can I go on I can't live on my own If you leave me now I'm lost If you leave me now I'm lost forever Lost forever Lost forever If you leave me now I'm lost If you leave me now I'm lost forever Lost forever Lost forever Then depression Suffocate you Like a heavy humid rug You can't move You can't eat Can't get out of bed or sleep Oh the sadness All the endless Rolling floods of tears runs dry Then acceptance Slowly settles And forgiveness Makes you find peace again How can I go on I can't live on my own If you leave me now I'm lost (How can I go on) If you leave me now I'm lost forever (I can't live on my own) Lost forever Lost forever If you leave me now I'm lost (How can I go on) If you leave me now I'm lost forever (I can't live on my own) Lost forever Lost forever If you leave me now I'm lost (How can I go on) If you leave me now I'm lost forever (I can't live on my own) Lost forever Lost forever Hallucination Oh this sensation Could it be hallucination What I feel, is it real Or just a mind creation So many restless empty nights I've been starring at the city lights Hearing the neighbors' endless fights A violent rain on quiet streets So gently tapping fragile leaves Makes me unable to fall asleep And when the church bells toll And the angels call Then we know it's time For us to move on Oh this sensation Could it be hallucination What I feel, is it real Or just a mind creation And when the working day is done I just can't wait to have some fun I put my best suit on and run And even though it's getting late I don't want her to have to wait How I've been longing for this date And when the daylight dies Teardrops fills my eyes 'Cause we know it's time For us to move on Oh this sensation Could it be hallucination What I feel, is it real Or just a mind creation Oh this sensation Could it be hallucination What I feel, is it real Or just a mind creation Old Dog Say it ain't so Say it ain't so I just can't believe it's true But I assure you He's not the right one for you Don't try to convice yourself That he's good for you When you know it's

Send In the Clowns (A Little Night Music musical cover / Joker OST) Isn't it rich Are we a pair Me here at last on the ground You in mid-air Send in the clowns Isn't it bliss Don't you approve One who keeps tearing around And one who can't move But where are the clowns Send in the clowns Just when I'd stopped opening doors Finally knowing the one that I wanted was yours Making my entrance again with my usual flair Sure of my lines But no one is there Don't you love the farce My fault, I fear I thought that you'd want what I want Sorry, my dear But where are the clowns Send in the clowns Don't bother, they're here Isn't it rich Isn't it queer Losing my timing this late in my career But where are the clowns Send in the clowns Well, maybe next year
Smile (Jimmy Durante cover / Modern Times OST) Smile though your heart is aching Smile even though it's breaking When there are clouds in the sky You'll get by If you smile through your fear and sorrow Smile and maybe tomorrow You'll see the sun come shining through For you Light up your face with gladness Hide every trace of sadness Although a tear may be ever so near That's the time, you must keep on trying Smile, what's the use of crying You'll find that life is still worth while If you just smile
Both Sides Now (Joni Mitchell cover / Love Actually OST) Rows and floes of angel hair And ice cream castles in the air And feather canyons everywhere I've looked at clouds that way But now they only block the sun They rain and snow on everyone So many things I would have done But clouds got in my way I've looked at clouds from both sides now From up and down, and still somehow It's cloud illusions I recall I really don't know clouds at all Moons and Junes and Ferris wheels Dizzy dancing way you feel As every fairy tale comes real I've looked at love that way But now it's just another show You leave 'em laughing when you go And if you care, don't let them know Don't give yourself away I've looked at love from both sides now From give and take, and still somehow It's love's illusions I recall I really don't know love at all Tears and fears and feeling proud To say "I love you" right out loud Dreams and schemes and circus crowds I've looked at life that way But now old friends they're acting strange They shake their heads and tell me that I've changed Well something's lost and something's gained In living every day I've looked at life from both sides now From win and lose and still somehow It's life's illusions I recall I really don't know life at all I really don't know life at all
Moon River (Audrey Hepburn cover / Breakfast at Tiffany's OST) Moon river, wider than a mile I'm crossing you in style someday Oh dream maker You heartbreaker Wherever you're going I'm going your way Two drifters off to see the world There's such a lot of world to see We're after the same rainbow's end Waiting round the bend My huckleberry friend Moon river and me One More Kiss, Dear (Vangelis cover / Blade Runner OST) One more kiss, dear One more sigh Only this, dear, is goodbye For our love is such pain and such pleasure That I'll treasure 'til I die So for now, dear Au revoir, ma belle But I vow, dear, not farewell For in time, we may have all love's glory Our love story to tell Just as every autumn leaves fall from the trees Tumble to the ground and die So in the springtime, like sweet memories They will return as will I Like the sun, dear, upon high We'll return, dear, to the sky And we'll banish the pain and the sorrow Until tomorrow, goodbye
Deep In A Dream (Chet Baker / Let's Get Lost OST) I dim all the lights and I sink in my chair The smoke from my cigarette climbs through the air The walls of my room fade away in the blue And I'm deep in a dream of you The smoke builds a stairway for you to descend You come to my arms, may this bliss never end Awake or asleep, every memory I'll keep When I'm deep in a dream of you Then from the ceiling, soft music comes stealing We glide in a lover’s refrain You're so appealing, that I’m soon revealing My love for you over again My cigarette burns me, I wake with a start My hand isn't hurt, but there's pain in my heart But we'll love anew, just as we used to do When I'm deep in a dream of you
Strangers in the night (A Man Could Get Killed OST) Strangers in the night Exchanging glances Wandering the night What were the chances We'd be sharing love Before the night was through Something in your eyes Was so inviting Something in your smile Was so exciting Something in my heart Told me I must have you Strangers in the night Two lonely people We were strangers in the night Up to the moment When we said our first hello Little did we know Love was just a glance away A warm embracing dance away And ever since that night We've been together Lovers at first sight In love forever It turned out so right For strangers in the night Strangers in the night Two lonely people We were strangers in the night Up to the moment When we said our first hello Little did we know Love was just a glance away A warm embracing dance away For strangers in the night Ever since that night We've been together Lovers at first sight In love forever It turned out so right For strangers in the night She Was Beautiful (Cavatina) (Cleo Laine and Stanley Myers cover / The Deer Hunter OST) She was beautiful Beautiful to my eyes From the moment I saw her The sun filled the sky She was so, so beautiful Beautiful just to hold In my dreams she was spring time Winter was cold How could I tell her When the feelings linger on For my dream keep returning Now that she's gone Oh but it was beautiful Knowing now that she cared I will always remember times that we shared For it was beautiful, beautiful Beautiful to be loved Stranger In Paradise (Tony Bennett cover / Kismet OST) Take my hand I'm a stranger in Paradise All lost in a wonderland A stranger in Paradise If I seem starry eyed That's a danger in Paradise For mortals who are beside An angel like you I saw your face And I ascended Out of the common place Into the rare somewhere in space I hang suspended Until I know There's a chance that you care Won't you answer the fervent prayer Of a stranger in Paradise Don't leave me in dark despair From all that I hunger for But open your angel's arms To this stranger in Paradise And tell him that he need be A stranger no more A stranger no more Midnight, The Stars And You (Ray Noble cover / The Shining OST) Midnight with the stars and you Midnight and a rendez-vous Your eyes held a message tender Saying, "I surrender all my love to you" Midnight brought us sweet romance I know all my whole life through I'll be remembering you Whatever else I do Midnight with the stars and you Over The Rainbow (Judy Garland cover / The Wizard of Oz OST) Somewhere over the rainbow Way up high There's a land that I heard of Once in a lullaby Somewhere over the rainbow Skies are blue And the dreams that you dare to dream Really do come true Someday I'll wish upon a star And wake up where the clouds are far Behind me Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me Somewhere over the rainbow Bluebirds fly Birds fly over the rainbow Why then oh why can't I If happy little bluebirds fly Beyond the rainbow Why oh why can't I My Way (Frank Sinatra cover / The Great Rock'N Roll Swindle OST) And now the end is near And so I face the final curtain My friend, I'll say it clear I'll state my case of which I'm certain I've lived a life that's full I travelled each and every highway And more, much more than this I did it my way Regrets, I've had a few But then again too few to mention I did what I had to do I saw it through without exemption I planned each charted course Each careful step along the byway And more, much more than this I did it my way Yes, there were times, I'm sure you knew When I bit off more than I could chew But through it all, when there was doubt I ate it up and spit it out I faced it all, and I stood tall And did it my way I've loved, I've laughed and cried I've had my fill, my share of losing And now as tears subside I find it all so amusing To think I did all that And may I say, not in a shy way Oh no, oh no, not me I did it my way For what is a man, what has he got If not himself, then he has naught To say the things he truly feels And not the words of one who kneels The record shows I took the blows And did it my way Yes, it was my way
RORSCHACH TEST Romeo It's sad to say, but I think it's over You and I have reached the end of our love affair And in a way, we can't sink any lower If none of us can make a change for a love so rare And it's oh so strange But I'm willing to give it another try What would Romeo have done in my situation I really need some good advice What would Romeo have said to start a conversation That would bring back that glow in your eyes like before I know you think that we're in this together And though the memories we share never go away Maybe it's time to leave and put all this behind us 'Cause if none of us don't even care, is it worth to stay And it's oh so strange But I'm willing to give it another try What would Romeo have done in my situation I really need some good advice What would Romeo have said to start a conversation That would bring back that glow in your eyes like before Romeo, Romeo, Romeo Romeo, Romeo, Romeo Romeo, Romeo, Romeo Romeo, Romeo, Romeo What would Romeo have done in my situation I really need some good advice What would Romeo have said to start a conversation That would bring back that glow in your eyes like before
Why Wait Until Tomorrow
Why wait until tomorrow What you can do today If you don't do it now It will be too late Why wait until tomorrow What you can do today If you don't do it now You might lose it if you wait On the empty road outside my window Underneath the street lamp I saw you In this quiet light there was no sorrow Just illuminated by this moon Others are attracted by the sunlight Me, I'm drawn to darkness and the shade Why wait until tomorrow What you can do today If you don't do it now It will be too late Why wait until tomorrow What you can do today If you don't do it now You might lose it if you wait Sleep away the chaos that the sun brings Waiting for our night time rendezvous Making an appointment at the graveyard Surrounded by the beauty of each tomb Others are attracted by the sunlight Me, I'm drawn to darkness and the shade Why wait until tomorrow What you can do today If you don't do it now It will be too late Why wait until tomorrow What you can do today If you don't do it now You might lose it if you wait You might lose it if you wait

When Life Has Lost Its Meaning Every time when life has lost its meaning And all is darkness around me I'm silent but inside I can't stop screaming Eyes open wide but I can't see I write a list of things I love And there's a risk it won't be long But every single word I'm carefully writing down Will make me want to carry on Every time when life has lost its meaning And there is nothing I can do I wanna disappear, give up, I'm leaving But there is nowhere I can go I write a list of things I love And there's a risk it won't be long But every single word I'm carefully writing down Will make me want to carry on I gotta carry on Every time when life has lost its meaning It's slowly suffocating me I get no air, even though I'm breathing I'm breaking out of old routines I write a list of things I love And there's a risk it won't be long But every single word I'm carefully writing down Will make me want to carry on I gotta carry on I want to carry on I carry on I carry on Walking in a forest Or sitting on a beach Watching the horizon Even though it's out of reach Being by the sea Has a great effect on me The movement of the water Reduce my anxiety I've gotta go outside And let the sun caress my face Maybe I start all the waves I start writing down my feelings Just to get it all off my chest Or find someone to talk to Whatever fits the best I feel better when I'm reading Maybe you do too Sit down and slowly breathing Find something to look forward to
How can I go on How can I go on When all I do is missing The lips that I was kissing When you were here How can I go on When everything's forgotten Dead, decomposed and rotten And nothing's left How can I go on When the songs that we were singing Only sadness now they're bringing It feels so wrong How can I go on When summer's getting old And the hand I used to hold Ain't mine no more How can I go on When all I do is missing The lips that I was kissing When you were here How can I go on When memories are bugging me And darling, you were hugging me Not long ago How can I go on When the songs that we were singing Only sadness now they're bringing It feels so wrong How can I go on

Labyrinth How can we find a way out of this labyrinth that we created We made it complicated for ourselves We follow random signs, but they are pointing out the wrong directions We see our own reflections in the maze Should I turn right Should I turn left Or continue straight ahead Or shall I try to find My sad way back To the tragic start instead This confusing old construction Of a relationship we're building At every turn we face another life A disturbing web of paths That leads us nowhere, just around in circles We're lost inside this beautiful mess Should we turn right Should we turn left Or continue straight ahead Or shall we try to find Our sad way back To the tragic start instead How can we find a way out of this labyrinth that we created We made it complicated for ourselves How can we find a way out of this labyrinth that we created We made it complicated for ourselves Puppet on a string There are parts of my anatomy That are simply not controlled by me I'm a puppet on a string when you're around It's not completely voluntarily That my heartbeat flutters rapidly And I'm shaking like a stray dog in the pound Maybe this thing that you do Could be some kind of voodoo Did you put something in my drink Maybe you mannaged to master The art of black magic And made me unable to think on my own And I know it might look strange to see That a grown up man like me could be Switched on and off by you without a sound Goosebumps appear all over me And my palms are sweating heavily There's nothing I can do under your spell That is why I have the tendency To try to make you stay away from me 'Cause I'm feeling like a coin tossed in the well Maybe this thing that you do Could be some kind of voodoo Did you put something in my drink Maybe you managed to master The art of black magic And made me unable to think on my own I didn't know I had the ability To give myself away so passionately I'm a puppet on a string when you're around
The Stars Align Oh why Even though the stars all align And a harvest moon shine so fine Why can't we be friends Oh why Suddenly we both see the signs And your feeling synchronize with mine So why can't we be friends Tell me Why you're hesitated I just can't imagine A better moment than this Yeah I know we're very different And we hardly understand each other's words But we have so many things in common And to let go of this would hurt This is the time The time is now This is the time Oh why Even though the stars all align And a harvest moon shine so fine Why can't we be friends Oh why Suddenly we both see the signs And your feeling synchronize with mine So why can't we be friends It's an awkward situation I don't want you to see me crying But this moment feels so special And my feelings just ain't lying It seems so right And your perfume is fantastic It all seems so right now And to let go of this would be so wrong This is the time The time is now Yeah this is the time Oh why Even though the stars all align And the harvest moon shines so fine Why can't we be friends Oh why Suddenly we both see the signs And you're feeling synchronized with mine So why can't we be friends ???

Happy Birthday Walking through a metal dump (?) Without a single trail A path where someone walked before Only silence fills the day Collecting pearly drops of dew I thread them on a string Then I lay morning gift for you What necklace it would be Happy birthday baby Happy birthday darling Happy birthday baby Happy birthday darling I pick the rest of the rest And a single faded rose And grab a handful of fluffy clothes I will bake a cake for you I place the candles one by one As carefully as I could And lite them with my burning heart I hope your wish comes true Happy birthday, baby Happy birthday, darling Happy birthday, baby Happy birthday, love Happy birthday, baby Happy birthday, darling Happy birthday, baby Happy birthday, love

By This River ( Brian Eno cover ) Here we are Stuck by this river You and I Underneath a sky that's ever falling down, down, down Ever falling down Through the day As if on an ocean Waiting here Always failing to remember why we came, came, came I wonder why we came You talk to me As if from a distance And I reply With impressions chosen from another time, time, time From another time

False Alarm
( She doesn't live here anymore EP ) If my heart was made of wood And your true passion made of fire Would you follow me If I was unable to swim And ocean wide was your desire Would you swallow me Promise me you'll be ever safe from harm And always try to stay away Maybe it all was just a false alarm I know it's hard to disobey If the desert is my love And your emotions like the sun Would you hide for me If my last hope is a flame And your touch like a violent storm Would you die for me Promise me you'll be ever safe from harm And always try to stay away Maybe it all was just a false alarm I know it's hard to disobey If my vows would be of steel And your effection magnet, would it be enough If my tears was made of glue Then maybe I could stick to you for years to come Promise me you'll be ever safe from harm And always try to stay away Maybe it all was just a false alarm I know it's hard to disobey
