Anna-Lynne Williams is an American musician best known as the lead singer, songwriter, and guitarist of Trespassers William, an indie rock band based in Seattle, Washington. She now performs under the stage name Lotte Kestner.

Williams grew up in Laguna Hills, California, and now lives in Seattle. She is featured on "Hold Tight London" from the Chemical Brothers' 2005 album, Push the Button; on "The World Is Too Much with Us" from Au Revoir Borealis's 2008 album, Dark Enough for Stars; and on several tracks from Anomie Belle's 2008 debut, Sleeping Patterns. She also toured with Anomie Belle in support of that release. She has collaborated with Motopony, Minotaur Shock, Phononoir, AFI, Fieldhead, Black Swan Lane, Delerium, The Nikki Grace Experience, Damien Jurado, Sadistik, and Robert Deeble.

In 2007, Williams started recording her own music as Lotte Kestner, self-releasing China Mountain in 2008. She followed it in 2011 with a covers album, Stolen (Saint-Loup Records).
In 2013, she was back with more of her own material on The Bluebird of Happiness (Saint Marie Records), for which she wrote all but one track (with the composer credit to Anna-Lynne Williams). An 8-track EP titled Until, was released through Saint-Loup Records on April 16, 2013. A collection of covers called "Covers" was released in 2017 in Japan (Lirico) and Korea (Aulos Media). On September 1, 2017 her new album Off White was released on Saint Marie Records.

In addition to these offerings, Williams has released four download-only collections, generally combining demos, outtakes, and newly recorded material: China Mountain B-Sides (2009), Trespassers William Songs Solo (2011), All That You Start B-Sides (2012), Extra Covers Collection (2012) and Best-of: Requested Cover Songs (6 October 2015). Williams has also released four download-only singles and contributed the song "Confession" to the Saint Marie Records sampler Static Waves (2012).

Williams has published two books of poetry, Split Infinitive and In the Night I Go Sailing, and has recorded two albums with the indie band Ormonde.

She starred in the film I Cannot Go On As I Am, which came out in 2015 and which also contains live musical performances.

China Mountain

Crush The Bird

If I make allowaces
I'm fine with separate, and see-how-it-is
Understood
If you think it's good

Do they make flowers for this
What color means you don't care how she lives
I'd expect just a little bit

Me, I wouldn't trade
Me, I wouldn't trade
Me, I wouldn't trade
For what you're made of

Lover becomes secretive
"Don't ask, I won't tell, we'll see how it is"
Understood
If you say it's good

Do they make flowers for this
What color means you don't care how she is
I'd expect just a little bit

Me, I wouldn't trade
Me, I wouldn't trade
Me, I wouldn't trade
For what you're made of

Did I try too hard loving
Crush the bird you're holding

Me, I wouldn't trade
Me, I wouldn't trade
Me, I wouldn't trade
For what you're made of

Compasses

What I want sometimes
Is a roof somewhere
The same one each time
Like a real woman

Home, to be home
To be home
To be home

Like a black sea turtle
Swimming back
Sailors who sail
Without compasses

Right, to be right
To be right

If the stars stick why can't I
If the stars stick why can't I
If the stars stick why can't I
If the stars stick why can't I

If the stars stick why can't I
If the stars stick why can't I
If the stars stick why can't I

Fainting Spells

Earth to you
Earth to you, love
Please don't rain on all my plans
Please don't rain on all my plans

Darling, I call you that
For I’d like to believe
In what's not anymore

At least I know
I didn't waste you
At least I didn't act
I didn't act
Like you did there's always that
Always that

Love sleeps where it's not wanted
In your bed, in your bed

Fainted
Fainted twice
Once like butterflies
Once like butterflies and once like ice

Love sleeps
Where it's not wanted
In your bed, in your bed

Love sleeps
Where it's not wanted
In your bed, in your bed

Leif Erikson

( Interpol Cover )

She says it helps with the lights out
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night
She swears I’m a slave to the details
But if your life is such a big joke why should I care

The clock is set for nine
But you know you're gonna make it eight
So that you two can take some time
Teach each other to reciprocate

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kids gloves
She doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox
She swears I’m just prey for the female
Well then hook me up and throw me baby cakes cause I like to get hooked

The clock is set to nine
But you know you're gonna make it eight
All the people that you've loved
They're all bound to leave some keepsakes

I've been swinging all this time
Think it's time I learned your way
I picture you and me together
In the jungle it will be ok

I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight

It's like learning a new language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you don't bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
It's like learning a new language

You come here to me
We'll collect those lonely parts
And set them down
You come here to me

She says brief things her love's a pony
My love's subliminal
She says brief things her love's a pony
My love's subliminal

Fineline

My fine line, crossed

I don't like wolves
Or wide open doors
Woke in the night alone

My fine line, crossed

Standing in my place
Looking for my place
I will wait through the night for only you

Temperature

You like me hopeful
'Cause hopeful is quiet
Sleeps through the night
Dreams of white boats

We could spin possiblies into a life
And what it feels like when we dance

I will sing tra la la la with you
I will sing la da da da with you
But it's not like the sea
To leave you with me

If I don't spin you
The dizziness stops
The bedroom's a box
And I’m a girl
Who wants a promise
What everyone wants
Love, did you once
Before we met

I will sing tra la la la with you
I will sing la da da da with you
But it's not like the sea
To leave you with me

La la la la da da da da da
I will sing tra la la la
I will sing tra la la la
I will sing la da da da with you
I will sing tra la la la la la la

Face Shape

It's the shape of your face
Not the words you choose
I think that I cried but
I lied to you

Said I need you right here to
See what I love
But when you disappear it's
Still sharp enough

Lover, you know what I thought we'd be
The truth doesn't stop me at all
At all

When my eyes turned all watery blue
It wasn't the moment we'd stepped into
My heart is a fixed as the walls around
This up is up always
Never comes down

Lover, you know what I thought we'd be
Lover, you know what I thought we'd be
The truth doesn't stop me at all
At all

Cattleya

This drink doesn't make me sleep
Didn't think it would
The numbers on the clock are green
The rest of this is mud

We let off the heavy chains
But I’m not free
Til you say this life is worse without me

You must say the right thing some time
And you know that I’ll wait up
As if though for my true love
And you know that I’ll wait up

One for getting through the dark
The hours that it stays
Never saw the box before
Our shoulders filled the space

We let off the heavy chains
But I’m not free
Til you say this life is worse without me

You must say the right thing some time
And you know that I’ll wait up
As if though for my true love
And you know that I’ll wait up

Did your heart get cold right away
Did your heart get cold right away
Did your heart get cold right away
Did your heart get cold right away

Before You Are

Lover, never tire of me
My hands, my eyes, my worrying
Looking at you, you're all that I need
If I could be that for you
You know I’d be

I believe in something sweet
In spite of things you've told me
Planted all the seeds I had
Underneath a tree
Turned all the sad songs right off
Just as I heard them start

You’re like the night
I feared it before I loved it, love

We flinch like this
When touches are soft
Too light, don't lie
You know they are
If you want constant and ready for war
I will be ready for it
Before you are

I've forgotten before you
In spite of things you've told me
I planted all the seeds I had
Underneath a tree
Blanketed before it did get dark
When the shadows were small

You're like the night
I feared it before I loved it, love
You're like the night
You're like the night
You're like the night I feared

Lula Boat

What about the hours I spent
Devising the tales I told
My fiction just to balance our
The way that your arms can pull

If my love was a sailor
He'd use his boat for ill
To sail beyond the reach
Of the one who loves him still
To sail beyond the reach
Of the one who loves him still

What of the control it takes
To hold it behind my eyes
To stop the rushing water
When the river's too weak to try

If my love was a sailor
He'd use his boat for ill
To sail beyond the reach
Of the one who loves him still

Fainted Twice

Fainted twice
Once like butterflies
And once like the ice...

 

China Mountain B-Sides

Nurse

I am left nursing things
He held your bags for you
Things that don't nurse back
Remember

Alone nothing sings
Nothing answers
I don't think you remember

When will we
Daylight
Daylight

I am left nursing things
Things that don't nurse back

I am left nursing things
Things that don't nurse back

Never One

The sun by my side
I'm glad that he left
???

Never one to forget
I was never one to forget

Does it look like rain
Does it look like rain
Does it look like rain

Falling Out of Love (With You)

( The 6ths Cover )

In an old Silver Line
I was yours, you were mine
I was hoarse, you were mean
We designed drum machines

But every day in every way
I'm falling out of love with you
Every kiss means less and less
I'm falling out of love with you

Every hour kills a flower
I'm falling out of love with you
You just bore me more and more
I'm falling out of love with you

They made sounds much like drums
You was young I was dumb
Now you're older and I'm wiser
We design synthesizers

But every day in every way
I'm falling out of love with you
Every kiss means less and less
I'm falling out of love with you

Every hour kills a flower
I'm falling out of love with you
You just bore me more and more
I'm falling out of love with you

Lives & Dies

What kind of love's like
Something you're born with
That lives and dies with you

But still startles every time
(in the morning we'll make-believe)
Like cold water over you

Oh I could live and die with you
I know it's too much
I want to live and die with you
I know it's too much

What kind of love's like
Something beside you
That lives and dies
Your bread and water
Don’t look at me
I couldn't take much more

Oh I could live and die with you
I know it's too much
I want to live and die with you
I know it's too much

Don't look at me
Don't look at me

To live and die with you
I know it's
Live and die with you
I know it's
Live and die with you


What kind of love's like
What kind of love's like
What kind of love's like...

Apples

A knife and your love
Apples you carved into small browning doves
A knife and your love
Apples you carved into small browning doves

I'm ready for
However long I'm doomed to miss you for
I said "leave it alone"
And let you get lost in the air if i’d known

I knew it would be me
I've felt life without you before
I've practiced how it feels
Saying "I had him, but not anymore"

Must've been good
We put up with so much bad just to have it
Must've been good
We put up with so much bad just to have it

I'm ready for
Remembering all of these things on my own
I always knew
Being alone would feel like being with you

I knew it would be me
I've felt life without you before
You'd not have done for me
The mourning and everything that I'm good for

Why'd it fool me
Why'd it take my lover, my lover
Why'd it fall
And why'd it break my lover, my lover

Stuff And Nonsense

( Neil Finn Cover )

Disobey my own decisions
I deserve all your suspicions
First it's yes and then it's no
I dilly dally down to duo
But I've got no secrets that I babble in my sleep
I won't make promises to you that I can't keep

And you know that I love you
Here and now not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future
That's all stuff and nonsense

I once lived for the future
Every day was one day closer
Greener on the other side
Yes I believed before I met you
I soon learned your love burned
Brighter than the stars in my eyes
Now I know how and when, I know where and why

And you know that I love you
Here and now not forever
I can give you the present
I don't know about the future

The Moon is High

I have your name written under my palm
Touches everything I touch
(I'm tired)
I have your hand watching over my skin
And when I'm asleep

I'm over
What you’re not in
It's so old

The sun is bright
But I'm inside
The moon is high
But I'm inside

I have your name written under my palm
Touches everything I touch
I have your ink pulsing under my skin
And into the night

The Same Quiet

Two, three, four, five

It's the shape of your face
Not the words you choose
I think that i cried
But I lied to you

Said "I need you right here
To see what I love"
But when you disappear oh it's
Still sharp enough

Sand you do not stand in
In your right mind
Face out to the rain
Wait for bright lights

Eyes closed but your hands out
And spun round
It all ends with the same quiet
And comedown

When my eyes turned all
Watery blue
It wasn’t the moment
We'd stepped into

My heart is as fixed as the walls around
This up is up always
Never comes down

Sand you do not stand
In your right mind
Face out to the rain
Wait for bright lights

Eyes closed but your hands out
And spun round
It all ends with the same quiet
And flight down

Bee

Gentleness
Is not how I have loved a thing
I'm sharp and sure
If you need someone who's able
To stand in ruins
Saying "it's all right"
Someone you’ll never get cut on
I am more like a knife

It's not my fault
I want to light it brighter
Than the others might
If you want love you can feel
You know it’s going to ache some times
Anything else isn’t worth
Living days, sleeping nights

If I Laugh

( Cat Stevens Cover )

If I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the chance
That I didn't have to know you
And live in peace

If I laugh
Baby if I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can forget the plans
That I didn't use
To get you at home
With me, alone

If I laugh
Baby if I laugh just a little bit
Maybe I can recall the way
That I used to be, before you
And sleep at night, and dream

Maybe if I laugh just a little bit

Bring You

Oh I waited
But time did not bring you to me
When you know what
The piece is that you need

What I spoke was
Just words I wrote down first
Was I careful
Or did I just show you my worst
I've done that before

 

Stolen

The Falling Snow

( Damien Jurado )

When you fell, you fell so hard
Reaching for me in the falling snow
I should have stayed, you said I should go
How will you make it home, oh

Leaving your way
I heard you got lost
Losing your voice to the ground below
And I stayed awake until you were home
It was days and days and days and oh

Come down from your mountain
You've been gone too long
If you will then you should say so
Don't leave me hanging on

Out from the open window
We could hear you breathing
Hold on but it does not hold on
Every mountain falls

Somebody said you would be gone
Somebody said you would be gone
Somebody said you would be gone
Somebody said you would be gone

Flume

( Bon Iver )

I am my mother’s only one
It’s enough
I wear my garment so it shows
Now you know

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she’s the moon

I am my mother on the wall
With us all
I move in water, shore to shore
Nothing’s more

Only love is all maroon
Lapping lakes like leery loons
Leaving rope burns reddish ruse

Only love is all maroon
Gluey feathers on a flume
Sky is womb and she’s the moon

Wait For Me

( Motopony )

He'll come to me in a dream
And I don't even know his name
A pretty mark upon his breast
To signify him from the rest

But he and I are just the same
Building bridges out of fame
He stands upon a dinner plate
And tells me that I'll have to wait

Wait for me
I know it won't be easy
What a thing
To believe
In a dream

Perhaps I knew him long ago
I wrote him poems at nine years old
But then I become a woman
The letter slipped right through my hands

I practiced all my wit and charm
Had many boys on every arm
I learned the depths of love and hate
But never did learn how to wait

Wait for you
You say it like it's easy to do
What a thing
To believe
In a dream

I hope you know that all my life
I have been searching for a wife
A partner and a confidant
To a boy who wants the things I want

A boy who doesn't come along
'Cause he's already where I'm going
I stand upon a broken stage
I beg you darling, please, please wait

Wait for me
I know it won't be easy
What a thing
To believe
In a dream

I believe
In a dream

Hur Jag Fick Dig Att Alska Mig

( Kent )

Kylan blev min vän
Min ursäkt för att gömma mig igen
I musiken och Ziggy blev min bror
När du fann mig satt jag
Hjälplös vid ett bord
Jag som nyss föll till en obegriplig jord
Du blev min räddning så obegripligt stort

Att du vill vara min
Att du vill vara min
Att du vill vara min
Att du vill vara min

Du var aldrig rädd
För dom som kallat mig
"En skada redan skedd"
Du är musiken och Ziggy han förstod
Att jag som alltid varit stum behövde ord
Jag som tvekat, jag som aldrig vågat tro
Att jag har nånting så obegripligt stort

Att du vill vara min
Att du vill vara min
Att du vill vara min
Att du vill vara min

Ett under att du ser mig
Att du fortfarande ser mig
Ett under att du ser mig
Som någon som kan ge dig nånting
Som får dig att vilja vara min

Att du vill vara min
Att du vill vara min
Att du vill vara min
Att du vill vara min...

Fake Empire

( The National )

Stay out super late tonight
picking apples, making pies
put a little something in our lemonade
And take it with us

We're half-awake in a fake empire
We're half-awake in a fake empire

Tiptoe through our shiny city
With our diamond slippers on
Do our gay ballet on ice
Bluebirds on our shoulders

We're half-awake in a fake empire
We're half-awake in a fake empire

Turn the light out say goodnight
No thinking for a little while
Let's not try to figure out
Everything at once
It's hard to keep track of you
Falling through the sky

We're half-awake in a fake empire
We're half-awake in a fake empire
We're half-awake in a fake empire
We're half-awake in a fake empire

That Look You Give That Guy

( Eels )

I never thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
I see you with your girl, your eyes just shine
While she stands tall and walking proud

That look you give that girl I wanna see
Looking right at me
If I could be that girl instead of me
I'd never let you down

It always seems like you're going somewhere
Better than you've been before
While I go to sleep, I dream all night
Of you knocking at my door

That look you give that girl I wanna see
Looking right at me
If I could be that girl instead of me
I'd be all I can be
I'd be all I can be

I'm nothing like what I'd like to be
I'm nothing much I know it's true
I lack the style and the pedigree
And my chances are so few

That look you give that girl I wanna see
Looking right at me
If I could be that girl instead of me
I'd give you all I got

I never thought that I could be so bold
To even say these thoughts aloud
But if let's say, it won't work out
You know where I can be found

That look you give that girl I wanna see
Looking right at me
If I could be that girl instead of me
I'd never let you down
I'd never let you down

Let's Go To Bed

( The Cure )

But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't say it if you won't say it

Let me take your hand
I'm shaking like milk
Turning, turning blue
All over the windows and the floors

Fires outside in the sky
Look as perfect as cats
The two of us together again
But it's just the same, a stupid game

But I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't say it if you won't say it first

Let's go to bed
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let's go to bed

you think you're tired now
Bbut wait until three
Laughing at the christmas lights
You remember from december

All of this then back again
Another girl, another name
Stay alive but stay the same
But it's just the same, a stupid game

And I don't care if you don't
And I don't feel if you don't
And I don't want it if you don't
And I won't say it if you won't say it first

Let's go to bed
Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
Let's go to bed

Doo doo doo doo
Doo doo doo doo...

Stolen

( The bleachers )

Stolen from the way you were
Stolen from the ground
Stolen from the way you were
Where nothing seems too real

And the night it won't repair
The noise it won't replace
I trade you my poison brain

I've been around the world
I've seen the people change and linger
Shades of blue run red

I've been around your world
I've seen the people change and linger
Nothing seems too real

And the night it won't repair
The noise it won't replace
I trade you my poison brain

And the night it won't repair
The noise it won't replace
I trade you my poison brain

*** Thanx a lot to Anna-Lyne for this one ***

Earlies

( Trash Can Sinatras )

Cakebrick road in summer 1981
We shared a house and garden
At the height of all the bombing on the run
In busy, hazy London

Through T-shirt breezes walking home from work
County Kilburn sun
Weekends we'd just wash away the dirt
Of busy, hazy London

The night grew cold
The Thames is old

Found that manners count for nothing and it took
A Welshman in his forties
Guinness elbows rest upon a tabletop
The two of us on earlies

Three feet of snow feel on the Walnut Road
Two feet trudged
Round the corner came
The sound of bad dreams

The flame is old
The Thames is cold

Cakebrick Road in summer 1981
We left a house and garden
On the corner boys
Best of friends

Flirted With You All My Life

( Vic Chesnutt )

I am a man, I am self aware
And everywhere I go
You're always right there with me

I flirted with you all my life
Even kissed you once or twice
And to this day I swear it was nice
But clearly I was not ready

When you touched a friend of mine
I thought I would lose my mind
But I found out with time
That really, I was not ready

Oh death, oh death, oh death
Really, I'm not ready

Oh death you enter me
Death's unmade those dear to me
And tease me with your sweet relief
You're cruel and you are constant

When my mom was cancer sick
She fought, but then succumbed to it
But you made her beg for it
Lord Jesus, please I'm ready

Oh death, oh death, oh death
Really, I'm not ready

Oh death, oh death, oh death
Clearly, I'm not ready

True Faith

( New Order )

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I've got this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty

I don't care 'cause I'm not there
And I don't care if I'm here tomorrow
Again and again I've taken too much
Of the thing that costs you too much

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
That the day would never come

When I was a very small girl
Very small girls talked to me
Now that we've grown up together
They're afraid of what they see

That's the price that we all pay
Our valued destiny comes to nothing
I can't tell you where we're going
I guess there's just no way of knowing

I used to think that the day would never come
I'd see the light in the shade of the morning sun
My morning sun is the drug that brings me near
To the childhood I lost replaced by fear
I used to think that the day would never come
That my life would depend on the morning sun
That the day would never come

I feel so extraordinary
Something's got a hold on me
I've got this feeling I'm in motion
A sudden sense of liberty
The chances are we've gone too far
You took my time and you took my money
Now I feel you've left me standing
In a world that's so demanding

Leif Erikson, Type Foundry Mix

She says it helps with the lights out
Her rabid glow is like braille to the night
She swears I'm a slave to the details
But if your life is such a big joke, why should I care

The clock is set for nine
But you know you're gonna make it eight
So that you two can take some time
Teach each other to reciprocate

She feels that my sentimental side should be held with kids gloves
She doesn't know that I left my urge in the icebox
She swears I'm just prey for the female
Well then hook me up and throw me, baby cakes
'Cause I like to get hooked

The clock is set for nine
But you know you're gonna make it eight
All the people that you've loved
They're all bound to leave some keepsakes
I've been swinging all this time
Think it's time to learn your way
I picture you and me together in the jungle it will be ok

I'll bring you when my lifeboat sails through the night
That is supposing that you don't sleep tonight

It's like learning a new language
Helps me catch up on my mime
If you don't bring up those lonely parts
This could be a good time
It's like learning a new language
You come here to me
We'll collect those lonely parts and set them down
You come here to me

She says brief things, her love's a pony
My love's subliminal
She says brief things, her love's a pony
My love's subliminal

 

Trespassers William Songs

Never you

(written by anna-lynne williams)

This is the kiss
That I forgot to lay on your head
This is the palm
That I forgot to calm in my own
And I feel for the sweet
That I no longer feel at my lips

Now your seasons aren't the same as mine
Now you're sleeping through my days
And I know why it's never you passing by

These are some words
That you forgot to hear
Walking out
I'd said love, never leave
Without me like without your coat

Now your seasons aren't the same as mine
Now you're sleeping through my days
And I know why it's never you passing by
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Love so bare
You can't cover it
And I feel like I’ve left
All these notes in your head
That you'll find
Memories and questions and please
And nevermind

Now your seasons aren't the same as mine
And you're sleeping through my days
And I know why it's never you passing by

*** Thanx a lot to Anna-Lyne for this one ***

Needing The Words

You say that I don't see
The stars that fall here
Holding tighter to me
They'll not reappear
Do you feel that you lift me
Up to safety
I've been needing the words more
Love, lately
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You'll start looking again
I'll start looking again
Looking, I know it's there

So where are the moments
Of wordless talk
Where our hands know the secrets
That our hearts don't
Now I don't know where your eyes go
When you close them
I used to feel I was there too
But love that was then

You'll start looking again
I'll start looking again
Looking, I know it's there
Looking, I know it's there

Low Point

I've been scared
Not like this
You lose things
I lost it
Just please reach
From somewhere
My heart's done
It's too scared
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I've never wished this before now
If I said I did I take it all back
You have to go all the way
To know where it is all the way down

You know what you'd stop for
When you're running
From your worst fear
That you need it
Now I'm fading
This is what I'd like to lay in

I've never wished this before now
Now I know all the long steps down
This time my eyes close like this

I know my last thoughts
I know my last wish
To not be wishing
To not have broke this
To feel what i'm missing
Somehow I broke it
I only know breaking
And what I want to lie in

I've never wished you have to go away

More Past

After you go
After you go
I won't expect to hear your voice again
Do not leave footprints
To carve out your weight
In the snow
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
More and more past
Nothing will last
If you forget watch the sun set so far
You held my hand but I don't think you will
Remember that

With all your veils raised up
Who's to expect the same love
With all your veils raised up
Who's to expect the same love...

To Be The One

( Idaho cover )

Alive
When are you truly there
Do you think about the world
How far this time to be yourself
Must you go down the stream
Floating on the top is better
And you'll know just what you are

What you are talking about is pure
What you're talking about is pure
What you're talking about is pure
And what you're talking about must be

The dream beyond the words
It gives way and steers itself
How far this time to be the one
That you knew was always here
Won't you take the time to get it
So you'll know just what you are

What you're talking about is pure
What you're talking about is pure
What you're talking about is pure
What you're talking about
Will hang the sun every day to melt you down
Will hang the sun every day to melt you down

Right You Are

You should drain of color
Like an insect on a leaf
You should taste of nothing
How much water would you be
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Shows how right you are
When I'm crying and you're not
I'm not one of those
To say that hurting is better
Than not knowing

Fill the nights with water
Or something promising to fill
Never mind the waiting
Beautiful something bewitch will

Shows how strong you are
When I'm trying and you're not
On you doesn't show
I would fall for that face again after all

Stop telling my heart...
Just stop tugging my heart

Thousand

It's not supposed to feel right
And broken at the same time
A thousand lights that dance
Out of my heart to you each time

What do you have to ask me
Maybe then you don't feel
The thousand pins and needles
That I feel near you each time

It's just my mouth
It's just a word
And what is that
How does it hurt
How does it hurt

I'm not supposed to need what
I've never had to know it
A thousand thoughts that crawl
Out of the dark to lie with me

I'm not supposed to say it
The way my head replays it
A thousand words and none of them
That I can say out loud
But out loud is how I feels
Is what you hide
Just as real
Just as real

Catch Not Break

Once in the while
I'd like to catch
Not break, what I hold
And once when you're close
I'd like to speak my beautiful thoughts
And then I
Can melt like I will
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Once in the while, I
I'd like to catch
Not break, what I hold
And once when you're close
I'd like to speak my beautiful thoughts
And then I
Can melt like I will

When I took my kiss somewhere else
I broke, I know
The natural order of things
And I know it doesn't go

The Lids

Only now that I'm alone
I see the night
As what it is
Wasted

I can only close my eyes
With one thing behind the lids
So it is
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Maybe you'll wake me
Waking to ringing
Maybe I'll wake to you

Confessing that this isn't quite
What I had in mind
But I lied, I'll wait

Feel my love is all too much
Real as things you touch
And know in all the ways

Maybe you'll wake me
Waking to ringing
Maybe I'll wake to you

Maybe you'll wake me
Waking to your warm
Maybe I'll wake to you

The Rainbow Connection

( Written by Paul Williams and used by Kermit the Frog, of The Muppets )

Why are there so many songs about rainbows
And what's on the other side
Rainbows are visions, they're only illusions
And rainbows have nothing to hide
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
So we've been told and some choose to believe it
I know they're wrong, wait and see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Who said that every wish
Would be asked and answered
When wished on the morning star

Somebody thought of that
And someone believed it
And look what it's done so far

What's so amazing that keeps us stargazing
And what do we think we might see
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

Have you been half asleep
And have you heard voices
I've heard them calling my name

Is this the sweet sound
That calls the young sailors
The voice might be one and the same

I've heard it too many times to ignore it
It's something that I'm supposed to be
Someday we'll find it, the rainbow connection
The lovers, the dreamers and me

 

All That You Start

Nature Stopped Listening

Shiver, the night deals a blow
Nature stopped listening a long time ago
Made my request for a painless death
Would've been better off holding my breath
I know the body wants to live
Damn the heart that keeps jumping again
However bad where I've been
I got my feet wet again
Feet wet, feet wet
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Shiver, the night deals a blow
Nature stopped listening a long time ago
Made my request for a painless death
Would've been better off holding my breath
I know the body wants to live
Damn the heart that keeps jumping again
However bad where I've been
I got my feet wet again
Feet wet, feet wet
Feet wet, feet wet
Feet wet, feet wet

Now It's On Fire

What if we never
Tangle together
Do you know I want it so much
And die without knowing
If we had something
I can tell you now it's on fire
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Put me down
If you're not ready for all nine rounds
Coming at you

Loosen me on you
No telling what would be left
In the morning

Put me down
If you're not ready for all nine rounds
Coming at you

True

Listen up
All the bells are gonna ring
I'm sorry
That for now they're sleeping

Would've been the fireworks I promised
If you had waited just a moment
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
‘Cause my love is true
Just buried
And if you
Would trust me
Why don't you

Listen up
All the bells are gonna ring
I'm sorry
That for now they're sleeping

Would've been the fireworks I promised
If you had waited just a moment

‘Cause my love is true
Just buried
And if you
Would trust me
Why don't you

Appointments

I want you
And everything else is so complicated, compared
I missed my train
And if you miss yours
We could lose a whole day
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
To hell with our appointments
We might've kept
To hell with separate apartments
The grass grows here

I want you
And everything else is so complicated, compared
I missed my train
And if you miss yours
We could lose a whole day

To hell with our appointments
We might've kept
To hell with separate apartments
The grass grows here

All That You Start

My love lit a fire
I'll stand in it
And I’ll breathe the smoke
All that you make
Whatever you start, I love
Whatever you start, I love
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You start to cry
You start a flood
All that you make, I love
All that you start, I love
Whatever you start, I love

A Way

( Lotte Kestner & Daniel Blue )

I’m sorry
But my heart
Doesn't know well enough
To leave you alone

I’m sorry
But my heart
Doesn't know well enough
To leave you alone

And my hands
Won't stay where they are
Feels like you've been gone
Ten times as long

It feels like fate
Holds us apart but wait
Don't let your heart yet break
There's still a way

A way
Didn't I say
Say that I found it
Already

Ready or not
This is what we have got
No need to fall apart
Push it away

Away down there
Where I don't have to care
Seemed like the perfect pair
So far away

Love
I may be wrong
It seems that you say this
To string me along

Love
I may be wrong
It seems that you say this
To string me along

Still, my heart
And the place where you are
Shouldn't be far
I'll make sure

It feels like fate
Holds us apart but wait
Don't let your heart yet break
There's still a way
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
A way
Didn't I say
Say that I found it
Already

Ready or not
This is what we have got
No need to fall apart
Push it away

Away down there
Where I don't have to care
Seemed like the perfect pair
So far away

There Is A Light That Never Goes Out

( The Smiths / Cover )

Take me out tonight
Where there's music and there's people
Who are young and alive

Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
Anymore

Take me out tonight
'Cause I want to see people
And I want to see lights

Driving in your car
Oh please, don't drop me home
Because it's not my home, it's their home
And I'm welcome no more

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

And in the darkened underpass, I thought
Oh God, my chance has come at last
But then a strange fear gripped me
And I just couldn't ask
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Take me out tonight
Take me anywhere
I don't care, I don't care, I don't care

Driving in your car
I never, never want to go home
Because I haven't got one
I haven't got one

And if a double-decker bus
Crashes into us
To die by your side
Is such a heavenly way to die

And if a ten ton truck
Kills the both of us
To die by your side
Well, the pleasure, the privilege is mine

Oh there is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out
There is a light that never goes out

Temperature

( Type Foundry Mix w/cello )

You like me hopeful
‘Cause hopeful is quiet
Sleeps through the night
Dreams of white boats
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
We could spin possiblies into a life
And what it feels like
When we dance

I will sing tra la la la with you
I will sing la da da da with you
But it’s not like the sea
To leave you with me

If I don’t spin you
The dizziness stops
The bedroom’s a box
And I’m a girl

Who wants a promise
What everyone wants
Love, did you once
Before we met

I will sing tra la la la with you
I will sing la da da da with you
But it’s not like the sea
To leave you with me

Matching weight

( Solo, 2004 )

Tonight
We don't have a lot to go on, no
That's not how it lives in my head
No, not at all
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Take this kiss
It holds all that I know
Oh if I could choose
How you remember me
But no

Blind times
Thought we were matching weight
We pulled

Sometimes it was you
And sometimes it was me
But where are we

Take this kiss
It holds all that I know
Oh if I could choose
How you remember me
But no

You say
"Don’t take it all so hard for now
There's so much space
And there will always be later for that"

No One

( Solo, 2004 )

What would you say
If I said this year has been
Only a dream that only we have been in
And no one else can sense all the harm I’ve done
And it has always been our hands in a melded one
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
If there's a difference then I don't know
Between miles and a stone's throw
All that matters
Is what can mend us

You can be silent as you want to
No one can punish me like I do
What would you say
If I said I found the truth
We'll turn it around
I'll stay here and wait for you

If there's a difference then I don't know
Between miles and a stone's throw
All that matters
Is what can mend us

Piano song

( Duo, 2004 )

It is too late to feel
Like a numb skin
Say that you've harpooned me
Am I a prize then
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I am lost as the sea
You tell me what I see

Love was supposed to save me
Love was supposed to save me

It is too dim to read
And there's no moon
Our love always rhymes
Like a poem

This mirror seems wrong
You decide what I am

Love was supposed to save me
Love was supposed to save me

You chose the rose with the thorn
You chose the sky with the storm
I'll take the lover that lies
My piece of divine till everything dies

Love was supposed to save me
Love was supposed to save me

 

Extra Covers Collection

Weak And Powerless

( A Perfect Circle )

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you

Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you

Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say

Promised I would find a little solace
And some peace of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless
Over you

Eyes Without a Face

( Billy Idol )

I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When you're far from home
Don't call me on the phone
And tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
You got no human grace
Your eyes without a face
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you

Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
You got no human grace
Your eyes without a face

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new

Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
Your eyes without a face
Your eyes without a face

If I Were

( Vashti Bunyan )

If I were to go away
Would you follow me to the ends of the earth
To show me what your love is worth
Or would you go and buy a car
Shrug your shoulders, say there you are
She didn’t love me anyway
If she did she would have stayed
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
If I were to go away
Would I always look for your beautiful face
In every crowd, every place
Or would I go and buy a hat
Turn my shoulders, say that is that
He didn't love me now it's clear
If he did he would be here

Harmless Sparks

( David Bazan )

They might have burned
But the priests were out taking turns
Showing nuns what they had discerned
About their bodies in the dark

They carried on
From the evening until the dawn
Like they should have been all along
Making harmless sparks
Instead of breaking little boys hearts
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And God knows
If you noticed the millions of small holes
And ponder the weight of an apple
Compared to the trouble we're in

Then a grown men might
Be tempted to question his birthright
In front of his kids and devout wives
Causing the doubt to begin
To spread like original sin

Black Metallic

( Catherine Wheel )

It's the colour of your
It's the colour of your skin

I've never seen you when you're smiling
It really gets under my skin
You say it's easy when it's faster
I still can't guess what you're after

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I think of you when you're sleeping
Of all the secrets that you're keeping
You can't stay all day under the covers
'Cause under there you'll discover

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic

Turning black metallic
Turning black metallic

Move With Me

( Neneh Cherry )

Into a world I plunge
Through my headphones
Escape into the streetlight
I begin to believe in destiny
When my surroundings in rhythm with me

I'm just a grain of sand walking in a sea of people
I look around me and my name is just someone
For a moment in time I belong
Where my heart beats the fear is gone like destiny
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Move with me I'm strong enough
To be weak in your arms
Move with me I'm strong enough
To be real in your arms

Whispering as I was driving quietly the car was rolling like a bullet
I was feeling the speed moving me faster
Addicted to the rhythm on my ghetto blaster
That's me supposing that the clarity of thought
Is clear enough to think it's real enough to touch
The wind on me got me tripping can I keep you next to me
Till the end of the world

Move with me I'm strong enough
To be weak in your arms
Move with me I'm strong enough
To be real in your arms

Like the joker on the pile never coming or going
The colour of my true cards was showing
Keeping in touch with an idea that I been growing
Trust trust I must trust with my head on my chest
I rest with the rest of the restless

Move with me I'm strong enough
To be weak in your arms
Move with me I'm strong enough
To be real in your arms

Payphone Patience

( Ghosts I've Met )

Weather station
Blue lights flashing
My days break empty
My days, done empty
Your hands, they’re heavy
Fall along me
??? me badly

And all I want is to
To get away clean
No more pulling
No more pushing
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
No more pulling
No more pushing
No more pulling
No more pushing

With payphone patience
My coin's returning
My gas can is empty
My gas tank is empty
With bridges burning all around me
Hoax around a central valley (?)

And all I want is to
To get away clean
No more pulling
No more pushing

No more pulling
No more pushing
No more pulling
No more pushing

Fall In Love With Me

( Booth And The Bad Angel )

Ease your lips into a velvet kiss
While I enfold you
Move your hands across this promised land
The seekers guided by the pole star
Say the words why don't you say the words
I have been waiting long to hear
Please fall in love with me
Rob from always on the run is so Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sinbad and copy paste is a sin
Drift with me upon an endless sea
We are divine in the realm of these senses
Every move has been a subterfuge
While we pretend that we really don't care
Lose your fear we may be strangers here
But I can feel we might be one
Please fall in love with me

I hear the sound of moons falling
Surrender to this charm
I breeze across your soul darling
Deep eternity

Lost your mind well don't you think it's time
To swim away from the saftey of these beaches
Trust the tides they know which way to flow
And don't you long to flow so far

Moved by waves we've never felt before
Till we are floating way out deep
Please fall in love with me
Please fall in love with me

( Kings of Convenience )

If you want to be my friend
You want us to get along
Please do not expect me to
Wrap it up and keep it there
The observation I am doing could
Easily be understood
As cynical demeanour
But one of us misread

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
A friend is not a mean
You utilize to get somewhere
Perhaps I didn't notice
Friendship is an end

What do you know
It happened again
What do you know

How come no one told me
All throughout history
The loneliest people
Were the ones who always spoke their truth
The ones who made a difference
Withstanding indifference
I guess it's up to me now
Could I take that risk, or just smile
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
What do you know
It happened again
What do you know
It happened again
What do you know
It happened again

Conversation 16

( The National )

I think tke kids are in trouble
I do not know what all the trouble's are for
Give them ice for their fevers
You're the only thing I ever want anymore

Live on coffee and flowers
Try not to wonder what the weather will be
I figured out what we're missing
I tell you miserable things after you are asleep
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Now we'll leave the silver city
'Cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city
'Cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything

It's a Hollywood summer
You never believe the shitty thoughts I think
Meet our friends out for dinner
When I said what I said I didn't mean anything
We belong in a movie
Try to hold it together til our friends are gone
We should swim in a fountain
I do not want to disappoint anyone

Now we'll leave the silver city
'Cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city
'Cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything

I was afraid
I'd eat your brains
I was afraid
I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil

I'm a confident liar
Have my head in the oven so you know where I'll be
I try to be more romantic
I wanna believe in everything you believe

But I was less than amazing
And do not know what all the trouble's are for
I fall asleep in your branches
You're the only thing I ever want anymore

Now we'll leave the silver city
'Cause all the silver girls
Gave us black dreams
Leave the silver city
'Cause all the silver girls
Everything means everything

I was afraid
I'd eat your brains
I was afraid
I'd eat your brains
'Cause I'm evil
'Cause I'm evil

Your Protector

( Fleet Foxes )

She left a week to roam
Your protector's coming home
Keep your secrets with you
Safe from the outside

You walk along the stream
Your head caught in a waking dream
Your protector's coming, coming home

As you lay to die beside me, baby
I'm the one in the shootin' game
Would you wait for me, the other one
Would you wait for me
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And as you lay to die beside me, baby
I'm the one in your game
Would you wait for me, the other one
Would you wait for me

You left a week to roam
Your protector's coming home
Keep your secrets with you
Safe from the outside

You walk along the stream
Your head caught in a waking dream
Your protector's coming, coming home

As you lay to die beside me, baby
I'm the one in the shootin' game
Would you wait for me, the other one
Would you wait for me

And as you lay to die beside me, baby
I'm the one in your game
Would you wait for me, the other one
Would you wait for me

I Want You

( Elvis Costello )

My baby baby
I want you so it scares me to death
I can't say anymore than "I love you"
Everything else is a waste of breath

I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said "little girl I do believe you're dying"
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways
I want you
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I want you
Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
I want you
Since when were you so generously inarticulate
I want you
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
It's knowing that she knows you now after only guessing
It's the thought of her undressing you or you undressing
She tossed some tattered compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when she said
"I want you"
"I want you"

I want you
The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you

I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one else wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed
And when I wake up
I want you

I want you
I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it

Mr Blue

( Yaz )

Winter sounds the crying
Like an old man slowly dying
And the only sound, the wind that fills the trees
Even colder comes the moon
And though it never seems too soon
A sudden stillness as the rainfall starts to freeze

I'm Mr Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
If you're lonely, I'll be lonely too

I'm Mr Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
If you're lonely, I'll be lonely too

A young girl, she is shaded
Bears the scars that never faded
Of the baby that was born on christmas day
While the heavens sing their song
A child's life is never long
'Cause the food supplies will only last a day

I'm Mr Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'm Mr Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too

Patriot emotion is the cause of the commotion
After all there's really no-one here to blame
Soldiers taking orders, 'cause we must defend the borders
Of our nation and the other side's the same

I'm Mr Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too

I'm Mr Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do
When you're lonely, I'll be lonely too

I'll come to you at night
When all the world is sleeping tight
And lie beside you, till the early morning dew
You can't hear me, you can't see
But you can feel me when you read
The folded letter she left addressed to you

I'm Mr Blue
I'm here to stay with you
And no matter what you do

The First Time Ever I Saw Your Face

( Peggy Seeger )

The first time ever I saw your face
I thought the sun rose in your eyes
The moon and stars were the gifts you gave
To the dark and the end of the skies

And the first time ever I kissed your mouth
I felt the earth move in my hands
Like the trembling heart of a captive bird
That was there at my command, my love
That was there at my command

And the first time ever I lay with you
I felt your heart so close to mine
And I knew our joy would fill the earth
And it would last till the end of time, my love
It would last till the end of time

Motion Picture Soundtrack

( Radiohead )

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong

I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
Crazy, baby
Crazy, baby

Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
Crazy, baby
Crazy, baby

I will see you in the next life

I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
Crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby

It'll Never Happen Again

( Tim Hardin )

I remember our first affair
All the pain
Always rain
Around my eyes
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again

Every time I leave you alone
I remember times
I couldn't come home
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again

Why can't you be
The way I want you to be
Why can't you see
That you've got to change to love me

I remember our first affair
All the pain
Always rain
Around my eyes
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again

Somebody That I Used To Know

( Gotye )

Now and then I think of when we were together
Like when you said you was so happy you could die
Told myself that you were right for me
But felt so lonely in your company
But that was love and it's an ache I still remember

You can get addicted to a certain kind of sadness
Like resignation to the end, always the end
So when we found that we could not make sense
Well you said that we would still be friends
But I'll admit that I was glad that it was over

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
To treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough

No you didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Now and then I think of all the times you screwed me over
But had me believing it was always something that I'd done
And I don't wanna live that way
Reading into every word you say
You said that you could let it go
And I wouldn't catch you hung up on somebody that you used to know...

But you didn't have to cut me off
Make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
To treat me like a stranger and I feel so rough

You didn't have to stoop so low
Have your friends collect your records and then change your number
I guess that I don't need that though
Now you're just somebody that I used to know
Now you're just somebody that I used to know

Tripoli

( Pinback )

Did I forget
That I said to you
I'd be there

Did I forget
That I said to you
I'd be there...

No one would believe me
And no one cared to check it out

Did I forget
That I said to you
I'd be there

Did I forget
That I said to you
I'd be there

Sad I'm gonna die
I hope it's gonna happen later, later
Than I think

Sad I'm gonna die
I hope it's gonna happen later, later
Than I think

 

The Bluebird of Happiness

String

Love, if
Love, if you love me
Why do you make me miss you so

Must be something you can give me
Something you could tell me
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
If we decide to stay silent
I'll be a lightbulb burning low

I couldn't, I couldn't tell you
Why saying nothing hurts me so

Missing
It feels like I swallowed a string
That goes on forever

Missing
It feels like I swallowed a string
That goes on forever

Wrestler

It turns out I have a book of matches
Right here in my pocket
And you had climbed down a well
You must've been waiting there for me
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
But I want to light it
Will you let me light it

I can see right across
I'm sure that I know where you're sleeping
My heart is the color it makes
When buildings reflect on the water

My heart is a building
And you are the ceiling

I like it when
There is hardly any light
And the morning
Is fighting in my eyes

I'll wrestle you in
I'll wrestle you in every thought
I'll wrestle you in
I'll wrestle you in every thought

It turns out water is clear
As soon as you stop to catch it
It turns out I do not fly
Because my wings are elastic

And they bring me back here
Back across the water
They bring me back here
Across the water

I like it when
There are hardly any lights
And the morning
Is fighting in my eyes

I'll wrestle you in
I'll wrestle you into every thought
I'll wrestle you in
I'll wrestle you into every thought

The Bluebird Of Happiness

I'm thinking I am going to get up
In the second act if I don't laugh enough
The tidal waves don't want to carry us
But if I can catch one I'll whisper
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
Bury me at sea, bury me at sea
Bury me at sea, bury me at sea

I'm gonna need what i forgot to pack
And make a scene of rifling for it
We were something and I'll remember it
I can conjure you if I want to but why would I do that

Bury me at sea, bury me at sea
Bury me at sea, bury me at sea

Turn the wolves

You would turn the wolves on the one you love
If they needed blood and you couldn't run fast enough
And it's something that I guessed about you, love
It's not new, just you how you are

One day you'll spell it out
You're spooling thread for now
I'll choose my way instead
I said it before I meant it
I'll choose my way instead
I said it before I meant it
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
I've been feeling things that I cannot fight
And in the dark I forget how to lie
Now I'm turning on the hook you have me by
I got in and you left the other side

One day we'll have it out
I'll let you off for now

'Cause I'd do it again
I said it because I meant it
I'd do it again
I said it because I meant it
I love you
I want you

Pairs

My veins are full of poison
From staying up so long
But tonight I won't sleep, I promise
It is my watch, my love

My pockets full of breadcrumbs
We watch the ducks in pairs
And this time we won't say

"We forgot again to bring something for them"
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
It hardly seems important
To keep my dreams from you
But what language was that
And all the names we had
That i'd not heard before
Afraid i'm going to lose you
'Cause that's the way it works
When's the last time you said

"Everything's just so perfect the way it is
Everything's so perfect"

Invention

Your face it leaps to the top again
At least I'm starting to write again
Missing, too familiar a feeling

Now, my lips are chapped from thinking of your mouth
I think I'll wear the good dreaming right out
You are my favorite shoes
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
You know when you have such a feeling
You feel like you invented the whole thing
Love I, I invented love I think

Now, my lips are chapped from thinking of your mouth
I think I'll wear the good dreaming right out
You are my favorite shoes

Now, thinking of your
Now, thinking of your
Now, thinking of your
Now, thinking of your

Halo

( Beyonce / Extra Covers EP )

Remember those walls I built
Well, baby they're tumbling down
And they didn't even put up a fight
They didn't even make a sound
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
I found a way to let you in
But I never really had a doubt
Standing in the light of your halo
I got my angel now

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breakin'
It's the risk that I'm takin'
I ain't never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can see your halo
Pray it won't fade away

I can see your halo, halo

Hit me like a ray of sun
Burning through my darkest night
You're the only one that I want
And I'm addicted to your light

I swore I'd never fall again
But this don't even feel like falling
Gravity can't forget
To pull me back to the ground again

It's like I've been awakened
Every rule I had you breaking
It's a risk that I'm taking
I'm never gonna shut you out

Everywhere I'm looking now
I'm surrounded by your embrace
Baby I can see your halo
You know you're my saving grace

You're everything I need and more
It's written all over your face
Baby I can feel your halo
Pray it won't fade away

Halo halo halo...

Sweetheart

You're so blank like
Something that's never been
You're not showing
The ghost of anything

But if you'd not been mine
Then how would I know when you go to sleep
You bite down so your teeth make sounds
As you start to dream
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
And the names we give each other just don't last
But the one who loves the most gets to keep the past
Right here

You're so blank like
Something that's never been
You're not showing
The ghost of anything

But if you'd not been mine
Then how would I know when you go to sleep
You bite down so your teeth make sounds
As you start to dream

And the names we give each other just don't last
But the one who loves the most gets to keep the past
Right here

When It's Time

There's nothing to put back
Like a tree, like a headstone with our words on
The seasons, they changed but I didn't know
All the stars never stepped from their posts the way I didn't

You and I
We're froze in the same night
And when it's time
Then it's time
When it's time

There's nothing to put back
Like a tree, like a headstone with our words on
The seasons, they changed but I didn't know
All the stars never stepped from their posts the way I didn't
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
You and I
We're froze in the same night
And when it's time
Then it's time
When it's time

Eggshell

Baby want your hands so tight they leave a mark
Burn you on my eyes then see you in the dark

Love, it's so hard to love
Guess that's what makes it worth so much
How it's so hard to love
Guess that's what makes it worth so much

Don't touch me like snow falls
Don't touch me like snow falls
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
Baby let me down so hard you break the shell
If you're not in the same dream I'm in just as well

Don't touch me like snowfall
Don't touch me like snowfall

Oh it's so hard to love
Guess that's what makes it worth so much

Cliff

As soon as you want the kiss
Oh how impossible it is to bridge
I wish that we were kids
I'd cross the floor and I would ask you to dance
I was never afraid of that
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
I had the upper hand
Smooth as a stone that'd worn away in the sea
But I like it even more
Climbing too high where the air is thin
I'm on a cliff
Can you keep me away from it

Little Things

Last night in your sleep
Did you dream you were trapped in a room
'Cause I confess in all of mine
That I draw walls around you

Your arms are a circle I step in
When I'm allowed to
And fight just to slow down the heart
That is all about you

But what do intentions amount to
Subtlety escapes me around you
I'm not about to hold in anything
I'm gonna give myself away in little things

You know how staring will make somebody turn
Does that mean my thinking of you's
Gonna make your skin burn
I'm always on the run and I hate copy past for god's sake
'Cause I don't want to hurt you
It's the last thing that I would do

But what do intentions amount to
Subtlety escapes me around you
I'm gonna give myself away in little things
I'm not about to hold in anything

So what do intentions amount to
What's the last thing that I would do
I'm gonna give myself away in little things
I'm not about to hold it in

 

Until

Confession

Words are my weakness
How they pierce me through
You wield your silver tongue
Don't you

A bottle of wine
Your voice and mine
I knew
A part of my heart
Already belongs to you
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
The swell of a tide
And all the boats rise
Sharing the lines
Dimming the lights

We might not have felt this til tonight
I wasn't expecting to feel anything
Sometimes the moment gets it right
I like the things you say when you drink

When is it just a kiss
Don't let me try
Keep it closed
Nets around our butterflies

A part of my heart
Already belongs to you
A bottle of wine
Your voice and mine
I knew
The swell of a tide
And all the boats rise
Dimming the lights
Sharing the lines

I like the things you say when you drink
I like the things you say when you drink

Flap

Am I dreaming
'Cause I can't wake up
You ready
If you're ready or not

Do you know me
I don't know what you want

Were you waiting on the stairs
Breathing softly while I slept
With my heart up in my mouth
And the wings I flap don't move
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
When the morning's light and cold
Will this moment feel as true

It's a form
All lit up in the dark
Her feet fall
I can't curl up, curl up

If you're ready or not

Was I dreaming
'Cause I can't wake up
You ready
If you're ready or not

Was I dreaming
'Cause I can't wake up

Bell Under Water

No I don't expect you
To decode what I left you
Fingers dipped in lemon juice

Handwriting in the water
Like a bell under water
Handwriting in the water
Like a bell under water
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
In a room we slept in
Five senses collecting
Like we're fingerprinting

Handwriting in the water
Like a bell under water
Handwriting in the water
Like a bell under water

Daydream

You make me creak
My bones they speak out loud
To answer you
Is it enough to drown

In daydreaming
It's the only place I can stay with you
It's the only way I can stay
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Good thing you're far
Don't tell me where you are
'Cause it's enough to just think of your heart

I'm daydreaming
It's the only place I can stay with you
It's the only way I can stay

And I want to
And I want to
And I want to
And I want to

And I want to
And I want to
And I want to

You're In My Head

If your needle is near
You can take my blood
Oh I saved it for you
Hundreds of drops
Running red, yes I know
Though I can't see it
Put your hands on my chest
I think you can feel it
That beat, oh
So fast, oh
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
You're in my head
Sometimes the only thing
We would sit on your bed
And both of us would sing
And when it was right
I'd get water in my eyes
Don't say it was nice
Don't say it was nice
I know, oh
So fast, oh

Until

What feels good as
Love you've walked on glass for
If the clock is right or if it's wrong
I will lose mine if you lose yours

Until
Until
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Catching rain in your hat
Grass as high as my head
And the light is caught up in your beard
Like my fingers wandering to rest in it

Until
Until

Make believe, play along
That we're not in love
I will lie for my love
I'll forget later on

Bright To Be True

If I'm on trial for my type of love, then I
Kknow better than to show the patterns I'm cutting by
Sentences in the dark to identify
I rhyme mine with yours and we speak the perfect lines
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
If I am honest with you
I am afraid that my
Love burns too bright to be true
Comet in the sky
Comet in the sky

I feel like for now I'm here
To let your shoulders rest
I can't stand the thought
Of not loving you the best

The thought stops my blood
So love, for I should

If I am honest with you
I am afraid that my
Love burns too bright to be true
Comet in the sky
Comet in the sky

Close all the curtains
Seems I could never
Breathe any air but this

But like a dreamer
Gone for a lifetime
Wakes in only minutes

Love me
Don't count on me
Love me

To Stand In

When I paint you
I forget how you
Like to stare at the floor
So often

Your love and calm nerves
Don't seem to add up
Forgive me
I know my way
And you know yours
Just the same
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
This weight that we take because
There's things that you bear to love
And you're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You are loved

When will I feel I'm answered
It feels like another language you made
For with me
For escape

Should this be, then
Less deep to stand in
I make you love what I love
So we love twice as much

This weight that we take because
There's things that you bear to love
And you're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You are loved

You're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky
You're loved if you're lucky

I Get Along Without You Very Well

(Chet Baker)

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except when soft rains fall
And drip from leaves, then I recall
The thrill of being sheltered in you arms
Of course I do

I've forgotten you just like I should
Of course I have
Except to hear your name or someone's laugh
That is the same
But I've forgotten you just like I should

What a guy
What a fool am I
To think my breaking heart could kid the moon
What's in store
Should I phone once more
No, it's best that I stick to my tune

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two

What's in store
Should I phone once more
No, it's best that I stick to my tune

I get along without you very well
Of course I do
Except perhaps in spring
But I should never think of spring
For that would surely break my heart in two

Don't Dream It's Over

(Crowded House)

There is freedom within
There is freedom without
Try to catch the deluge in a paper cup
There's a battle ahead
Many battles are lost
But you'll never see the end of the road
While you're traveling with me

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm towing my car
There's a hole in the roof
My possessions are causing me suspicion, but there's no proof
In the paper today
Tales of war and of waste
But you turn right over to the TV page

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Now I'm walking again
To the beat of a drum
And I'm counting the steps to the door of your heart
Only the shadows ahead
Barely clearing the roof
Get to know the feeling of liberation and release

Hey now, hey now
Don't dream it's over
Hey now, hey now
When the world comes in
They come, they come
To build a wall between us
We know they won't win

Lost Cause

(Beck)

Your sorry eyes cut through the bone
They make it hard to leave you alone
Leave you here, wearing your wounds
Waving your guns at somebody new

Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause

There's too many people you used to know
They see you coming, they see you go
They know your secrets and you know theirs
This town is crazy, nobody cares

Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

There's a place where you are going
You ain't never been before
No one laughing at your back now
No one standing at your door
That's what you thought love was for

Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're lost
Baby, you're a lost cause

I'm tired of fighting
I'm tired of fighting
Fighting for a lost cause

How To Disappear Completely

(Radiohead)

That there
That's not me
I go
Where I please

I walk through walls
I float down the Liffey
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

In a little while
I'll be gone
The moment's already passed
Yeah it's gone
And I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Strobe lights and blown speakers
Fireworks and hurricanes
I'm not here
This isn't happening
I'm not here
I'm not here

Wish You Were Here

(Pink Floyd)

So, so you think you can tell
Heaven from Hell
Blue skies from pain
Can you tell a green field
From a cold steel rail
A smile from a veil
Do you think you can tell

Did they get you to trade
Your heroes for ghosts
Hot ashes for trees
Hot air for a cool breeze
Cold comfort for change
Did you exchange
A walk on part in the war
For a lead role in a cage

How I wish
How I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

How I wish
How I wish you were here
We're just two lost souls swimming in a fish bowl
Year after year
Running over the same old ground
What have we found
The same old fears
Wish you were here

Rikk Agnew

(Lisa Will Insult You, Darling)

Got a ride
Got my paycheck
Got a love
To hold on tonight

Living by, it's so easy
Letting go, me bored

In your house
In your country
In your town
In your tiny bed

Do you ever think of me
Do you ever slow down

While you run (?)
Through your hometown
With headphones
And Rikk Agnew on

Do you ever think of me
Do you ever slow down

Do you ever think of me
Do you ever slow down

Where I'm Headed

(The One AM Radio)

I drive out each night
To see the city sky get bright
Because someday, I'm afraid, I'll forget it
The people outside are saying every line
Like one day they might live to regret it

I tried to catch up the strain
Of the murmuring refrain
That seeped out from the streets
Where it was embedded

Under the fluorescent sky
Another wayward, errant sigh
Was etched into the walls
Where nobody read it

And you hold on so tight
When you lay down at night
As the traffic outside
Sweeps your room with its lights
Because the sunrise
When it hits your eyes
Could burn out all those dreams
If you let it

And you hold on so tight
When you lay down at night
As the traffic outside
Sweeps your room with its lights
'Cause the sunrise
When it hits your eyes
Could burn out all those dreams
If you let it

I Don't Know What I Can Save You From

(Kings Of Convenience)

You called me after midnight
It must have been three years since we last spoke
I slowly tried to bring back
The image of your face from the memories so old
I tried so hard to follow
But didn't catch a half of what had gone wrong

Said, I don't know what I can save you from
I don't know what I can save you from

I asked you to come over
And within half an hour
You were at my door
I had never really known you
But I realized that the one you were before
Had changed into somebody for whom
I wouldn't mind to put the kettle on

Still I don't know what I can save you from
I don't know what I can save you from

I don't know what I can save you from
I don't know what I can save you from

Van Occupanther

(Midlake)

I must be careful now in my steps
Years of calculations and the stress
My science is waiting, nearly complete
One glass will last for nearly a week

Let me not get down from walking with no one
And if I stumble from exhaustion

These buckets are heavy, I fill them with water
I could ask these people, but I shouldn't bother

Oh no, I've stumbled, was I going too fast
Some get angry, some of them laugh
They told me I wouldn't, but I found an answer
I'm Van Occupanther, I'm Van Occupanther

Let me not be too consumed with this world
Sometimes I want to go home
And stay out of sight for a long time

Let me not be too consumed with this world
Sometimes I want to go home
And stay out of sight for a long time

Imagine

(John Lennon)

Imagine there's no heaven
It's easy if you try
No hell below us
Above us only sky
Imagine all the people
Living for today

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
And no religion too
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace

You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

Imagine no possessions
I wonder if you can
No need for greed or hunger
A brotherhood of man
Imagine all the people
Sharing all the world

You, you may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will live as one
And the world will live as one

Fade Into You

(Mazzy Star)

I want to hold the hand inside you
I want to take a breath that's true
I look to you and I see nothing
I look to you to see the truth

You live your life, you go in shadows
You'll come apart and you'll go black
Some kind of night into your darkness
Colors your eyes with what's not there

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

A stranger's light comes on slowly
A stranger's heart without a home
You put your hands into your head
And then smiles cover your heart

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew

Fade into you
Strange you never knew
Fade into you
I think it's strange you never knew
I think it's strange you never knew

Not A Job

(Elbow)

Pull the final splinters
Of missing picture winters
You have to give yourself a break

What's the fascination
With lovers at the station
You have to tear yourself away

The dream again nobody understands
Walking through the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today
Sleep it off

Words to make her stay, you said
Leave me and the plants die
A panic smile across your face

Corrugated browline
The hissing bitter punchline
Call when you can tie your lace

The dream again nobody understands
Walking on the long grass on your hands
It's not a job to do today
Sleep it off

Hissing bitter punchline
The bitter punchline
The bitter punchline

Hissing bitter punchline
The bitter punchline
The bitter punchline

Hissing bitter punchline
The bitter punchline
The bitter punchline

Alison

(Slowdive)

Listen close and don't be stoned
I'll be here in the morning
'Cause I'm just floating
Your cigarette still burns
Your messed up world will thrill me
Alison, I'm lost

Alison, I said we're sinking
There's nothing here, but that's okay
Outside your room, your sister's spinning
But she lies and tells me she's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere

And the sailors, they strike poses
The TV-covered walls and so slowly
With your talking and your pills
Your messed up life still thrills me
Alison, I'm lost

Alison, I'll drink your wine
I wear your clothes when we're both high
Alison, I said we're sinking
But you laugh and tells me it's just fine
I guess she's out there somewhere

Enjoy The Silence

(Depeche Mode)

Words like violence
Break the silence
Come crashing in
Into my little world
Painful to me
Pierce right through me
Can't you understand
Oh my little girl

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Vows are spoken
To be broken
Feelings are intense
Words are trivial
Pleasures remain
So does the pain
Words are meaningless
And forgettable

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

All I ever wanted
All I ever needed
Is here in my arms
Words are very unnecessary
They can only do harm

Enjoy the silence

Do You Realize

(The Flaming Lips)

Do you realize
That you have the most beautiful face
Do you realize
We're floating in space
Do you realize
That happiness makes you cry
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize
Oh oh oh
Do you realize
That everyone you know someday will die

And instead of saying all of your goodbyes, let them know
You realize that life goes fast
It's hard to make the good things last
You realize the sun doesn't go down
It's just an illusion caused by the world spinning round

Do you realize
You have the most beautiful face
Do you realize

I'm Going To Go Back There Someday

(Gonzo)

This looks familiar, vaguely familiar
Almost unreal, yet it's too soon to feel yet
Close to my soul and yet so far away
I'm going to go back there someday

Sun rises, night falls, sometimes the sky calls
Is that a song there and do I belong there
I've never been there, but I know the way
I'm going to go back there someday

Come and go with me, it's more fun to share
We'll both be completely at home in midair
We're flying, not walking, on featherless wings
We can hold onto love like invisible strings

There's not a word yet for old friends who've just met
Part heaven, part space or have I found my place
You can just visit, but I plan to stay
I'm going to go back there someday
I'm going to go back there someday

Have You Ever Seen The Rain

(Creedence Clearwater Revival)

Someone told me long ago
There's a calm before the storm
I know it's been comin' for some time
When it's over so they say
It'll rain a sunny day
I know shinin' down like water

I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day

Yesterday and days before
Sun is cold and rain is hard
I know been that way for all my time

'Til forever, on it goes
Through the circle, fast and slow
I know it can't stop, I wonder

I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
I want to know
Have you ever seen the rain
Comin' down on a sunny day
Comin' down on a sunny day

Dreams

(Fleetwood Mac)

Now here you go again, you say
You want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down

It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had, and what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself, it's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell
Dreams of loneliness

Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering, what you had
And what you lost
And what you had and what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know, you will know, you'll know

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing

Wild Horses

(The Rolling Stones)

Childhood living
Is easy to do
The things you wanted
I bought them for you

Graceless lady
You know who I am
You know I can't let you
Slide through my hands

Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away

I watched you suffer
A dull aching pain
Now you've decided
To show me the same

No sweeping exit
Or offstage lines
Could make me feel bitter
Or treat you unkind

Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
And wild, wild horses
Couldn't drag me away

I know I've dreamed you
A sin and a lie
I have my freedom
But I don't have much time

Faith has been broken
Tears must be cried
Let's do some living
After we die

Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
And wild, wild horses
We'll ride them some day

Wild horses
Couldn't drag me away
Wild, wild horses
We'll ride them some day

Katy Song

(Red House Painters)

Some escape some door to open
This path seems the blackest
But I guess it's the soonest
But there in the clearing I know you'll be wearing
Your young aching smile and waving your hand

Can't go with my heart when I can't feel what's in it
I thought you'd come over but for some reason you didn't glass
On the pavement under my shoe
Without you is all my life amounts to

A final sleep no words from my cutting
Mouth to your ear or taut wicked pinches
From my fingers to your bitter face
That I can't heal

I know tomorrow
You will be
Somewhere in London
Living with someone
You've got some kind of family there to turn to
And that's more than I could ever give you

A chance for calm, a hope for freedom
Outlet from my cold solitary kingdom
By the forest of our spring stay
Where you walked away

And left a bleeding part of me
Empty and bothered
Watching the water
Quiet in the corner numb and falling through
Without you what does my life amount to

To Belong

(Daughter)

Don't you think you'll be better off
Without me tied around your neck
It's like the way your
Body pulls me underneath where I can't breathe
I'm tired of talking, I've been screaming all day

Don't you think we'll be better off
Without temptation to regress, to fake tenderness
Waiting to see someone we won't know for long
In cities we'll only leave

Don't you think we'll be better off
Without the pressure to address
A room of faces
Waiting to hear some strange women speak in tongues
On lonely fridays of my loveless drunk, baby
Loveless drunk, baby

I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong
I don't want to belong, to you, to anyone
I don't want to belong, I don't want to belong
I don't want to belong, to you, to anyone

Don't you think we'd be better off
Without the pressure to address
A room of faces
Waiting to hear some strange women speak in tongues
On lonely fridays of my loveless drunk, baby
Loveless drunk, baby

Under the Milky Way

(The Church)

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

Under the Milky Way tonight
Under the Milky Way tonight
Under the Milky Way tonight

Happiness Will Get You In The End

(Embrace)

I'd kill anything that flaps around your head darling
We had so much I don't know where it went
God can strike me down if I'm wrong I'll repeat saying
That happiness will get you in the end darling

Some psychic gave me words I've come to dread she said
That happiness would come to you again oh yeah
Your fall will break your splashing heart can mend knowing
That happiness will get you in the end

And my mind is like a maze
And I know the way all around that maze
With you next to me
But I can't find my way out with you around please stay

Those tear stained letters you returned unread saying
That happiness has come to you again oh yes
And all good things must reach their rotten end darling
But happiness will get you in the end
Oh happiness will get you in the end
Oh happiness will get you in the end darling

I Grieve

(Peter Gabriel)

It was only one hour ago
It was all so different then
Nothing yet has really sunk in
Looks like it always did

This flesh and bone
Is just the way that we are tied in
But there's no one home

I grieve, for you
You leave, me
So hard to move on
Still loving what's gone
They say life carries on
Carries on and on and on and on

The news that truly shocks
Is the empty, empty page
While the final rattle rocks
It's empty, empty cage
And I can't handle this

I grieve, for you
You leave, me
Let it out and move on
Missing what's gone
They say life carries on
They say life carries on and on and on

This Year's Love

(David Gray)

This years love had better last
Heaven knows it's high time
And I've been waiting on my own too long

But when you hold me like you do
It feels so right
I start to forget
How my heart gets torn
When that hurt gets thrown
Feeling like you can't go on

Turning circles when time again
It cuts like a knife
If you love me got to know for sure

'Cause it takes something more this time
Than sweet sweet lies
Before I open up my arms and fall
Losing all control
Every dream inside my soul
When you kiss me on that midnight street
Sweep me off my feet
Singing ain't this life so sweet

This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last
This year's love had better last

Pictures Of You

(The Cure)

I've been looking so long at these pictures of you
That I almost believe that they're real
I've been living so long with my pictures of you
That I almost believe that the pictures
Are all I can feel

Remembering you standing quiet in the rain
As I ran to your heart to be near
And we kissed as the sky fell in
Holding you close
How I always held close in your fear
Remembering you running soft through the night
You were bigger and brighter and wider than snow
And screamed at the make-believe
Screamed at the sky
And you finally found all your courage
To let it all go

Remembering you fallen into my arms
Crying for the death of your heart
You were stone white, so delicate
Lost in the cold
You were always so lost in the dark

Remembering you how you used to be
Slow drowned, you were angels
So much more than everything
Hold for the last time then slip away quietly
Open my eyes but I never see anything

If only I'd thought of the right words
I could have held on to your heart
If only I'd thought of the right words
I wouldn't be breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Looking so long at these pictures of you
But I never hold on to your heart
Looking so long for the words to be true
But always just breaking apart
My pictures of you

There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to feel you deep in my heart
There was nothing in the world
That I ever wanted more
Than to never feel the breaking apart
All my pictures of you

Off White

Secret Longitude

Someone who won't leave you
Someone who won't leave you
And forgive the words
I'd rather go out into the sea lone
Won't you leave me alone
you always copy, paste and cheat
In the end, your escape wasn't that
And the rain came back
Tired of carrying your own pack

Someone who won't hurt
When they have your skin
Your most precious resource
That you're crawling in

Oh the lock of your hair that no one has
As the waves attack
The secret longitude where you're at

In Glass

What I find everything I'm looking for
I might
Hitting this drum
Waiting for the music to come on

If you say wait
I'll wait
If you say run
I'll run to the gate

Something suspended in glass
Give me the one that could last
you always copy, paste and cheat
The stars are slow
At telling us where they have been
Or if they're there at all

I could forgive this night
If it turns into the dawn
If you call

If you say wait
I'll wait
If you say run
I'll run to the gate

If you say wait
I'll wait
If you say run
I'll run to the gate

Something suspended in glass
Give me the one that could last

Have You Sailed Home

Slow
I close like petals close
But inside
I have electric light
Inside

They turned the moon
A lion in the room
I was in the dark
With a dream I was trying to pause
Pause

Have you sailed home
Have you sailed home
And if so
Am I alone
you always copy, paste and cheat
If I could sail
I'd be at your heels
You'd be in my arms
Instead of in my thoughts
If I try, would you mind

Have you sailed home
Have you sailed home
And if so
Am I alone

Ghosts

Fiercely I thought
That I knew something about
The thing that I'm always singing 'bout
And I spend my body on

Who did I need the most
All of my lovers or ghosts
And none of them are here
To tell me how I let them down
you always copy, paste and cheat
Oh and I got there first
And I knew all the words
I let my hair down follow me

But the deepest breath
Once you let go of it
I don't think you know
How hollow it feels

When I said the light isn't on when you're gone
Who was I talking about
Oh if I was holding out for someone
Well who was I talking 'bout

Off White

Only took a day
The clouds all rolled out to say
Doesn't matter what time it is
I think this is all there is

All the white snow of summer we sat below
What kind of tree is this
Collected the leaves to press
you always copy, paste and cheat
Love is a jump
Your kiss is a strand of bells
Spells that we cast on ourselves
I need you now and no one else

Like the dark knots in the floor
The curving crack along the wall
If you stay the way you are
I'll always know you in the dark

All the white snow of summer we sat below
What kind of tree is this
Collected the leaves to press

Love is a jump
Your kiss is a strand of bells
Spells that we cast on ourselves
I need you now and no one else

Eight Ball

I want your silhouette
I want you to walk beside me
Park the car somewhere
And find that white tree

My hand on your heart
To hold it in place
If I don't get to love you
Can I still love your face

Can I keep trying to fill
The sad wells of your eyes
And should I tell you
That no one has slept on your side

But sometimes the bed
Is covered in knives

And when I miss
Your strange beauty
And I hate my arms
For not pulling you to me
you always copy, paste and cheat
The eight ball I shook
They told me to tell you
Tell you

Go to Sleep Now

For tonight theh city wears a veil
Like the buildings are within
Light bulb skin, looming
With the bending grace
Of something on a stem

And there are no lines to stay within
So instead I'm listening
The rhythm of rain
And someon's voice
Today you are white
You're white and soft

Like I've learned down
To kiss your brow
Go to sleep now
you always copy, paste and cheat
Like I've learned down
To kiss your brow
Go to sleep now

Senses

Lost the light
Didn't need it, the moon is bright
I lose my sight
Do I still need it, I found you

Oh, when the world is under
Miles of sea
Yours is the name I'm calling
Long as I breathe

Did the music stop
All I know is I'm in your arms
I'm holding on
Can you still feel that I'm holding on
you always copy, paste and cheat
Oh, when the world is under
Miles of sea
You'll be the one that I lost
As long as I breathe

I fall asleep praying, love
I fall asleep praying, love

Lost the light
Didn't need it, the moon is bright
I lose my sight
Do I still need it, I found you

Another Moon

Love, are you awake
Everything seems worth mentioning
The moon is out in the day again
And I'm in love

The light catches it
I've been guarding a nest
You've been running the mountain
You'll come home again
And there is love
Another moon

Love are you magic
I never dreamed the kind you make
Guessed it's not real
'Cause I never dreamed the kind we make
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me
you always copy, paste and cheat
A sea safety crossed
The seasons they will melt again
Counting them on my hand
There you are
The light catches you

Love are you magic
I never dreamed the kind you make
Guess it's not real
'Cause I never dreamed the kind we make
Have mercy on me
Have mercy on me

Ashland

There is a fault
Running through everything
And you and I are the columns of a building

You whistled something
Set the waters bubbling
And if it sounds good
And if it feels good
Then love it is

If you don't hold me up
I might not hold you
Is that a lie, I
I already do

The harmony
Of every pitch we ever breathed
There's been a night
In every color you can see
you always copy, paste and cheat
I promise some things
Silent as planks of wood
Your hand on my back
That's holding back every flood

Boat of Mine

Don't you worry your head about
Words that you haven't said out loud
Didn't you know this boat of mine
Travels in a straight line to you
you always copy, paste and cheat
It's like an arrow just seems to
Know where your heart is to pierce you
Would you believe, my dear
We're going to make it out of here

Burned all my dreams from before you
I want to be brand new
Didn't you know this boat of mine
Travels in a straight line to you

Red wine and sleeping pills
Help me get back to your arms
Cheap sex and sad films
Help me get where I belong

I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
Crazy, baby
Crazy, baby

Stop sending letters
Letters always get burned
It's not like the movies
They fed us on little white lies

I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
Crazy, baby
Crazy, baby

I will see you in the next life

I think you're crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby
Crazy, baby
I think you're crazy, baby

Quiet in the corner numb and falling through
Without you what does my life amount to

Such Great Heights

(The Postal Service)

I am thinking it's a sign
That the freckles in our eyes
Are mirror images
And when we kiss they're perfectly aligned

I have to speculate
That God himself did make
Us into corresponding shapes
Like puzzle pieces from the clay

True, it may seem like a stretch
But it's thoughts like this that catch
My troubled head when you're away
When I am missing you to death

You are out there on the road
For several weeks of shows
And when you scan the radio
I hope this song will guide you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," we'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

I tried my best to leave
This is all on your machine
But the persistent beat
It sounded thin upon listening

And that frankly will not fly
You will hear the shrillest highs
And lowest lows with the windows down
When this is guiding you home

They will see us waving from such great heights
"Come down now," they'll say
But everything looks perfect from far away
"Come down now," but we'll stay

I Want You

( Elvis Costello )

My baby baby
I want you so it scares me to death
I can't say anymore than "I love you"
Everything else is a waste of breath

I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
Your fingernails go dragging down the wall
I want you
I woke up and one of us was crying
I want you
You said "little girl I do believe you're dying"
I want you
If you need a second opinion as you seem to do these days
You can look in my eyes and you can count the ways
I want you
Rob from always on the run is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I want you
Did you mean to tell me but seem to forget
I want you
Since when were you so generously inarticulate
I want you
It's the stupid details that my heart is breaking for
It's the way your shoulders shake and what they're shaking for
It's knowing that she knows you now after only guessing
It's the thought of her undressing you or you undressing
She tossed some tattered compliment your way
I want you
And you were fool enough to love it when she said
"I want you"
"I want you"

I want you
The truth can't hurt you it's just like the dark
It scares you witless
But in time you see things clear and stark
I want you
Go on and hurt me then we'll let it drop
I want you
I'm afraid I won't know where to stop
I'm not ashamed to say I cried for you
I want you

I want you
I might as well be useless for all it means to you
I want you
You've had your fun you don't get well no more
I want you
No-one else wants you could want you more
I want you
Every night when I go off to bed
And when I wake up
I want you

I want you
I'm going to say it once again 'til I instill it
I know I'm going to feel this way until you kill it

Dreams

(Fleetwood Mac)

Now here you go again, you say
You want your freedom
Well who am I to keep you down

It's only right that you should
Play the way you feel it
But listen carefully to the sound
Of your loneliness

Like a heartbeat drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering what you had
And what you lost
And what you had, and what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

Now here I go again, I see the crystal visions
I keep my visions to myself, it's only me
Who wants to wrap around your dreams and
Have you any dreams you'd like to sell
Dreams of loneliness

Like a heartbeat, drives you mad
In the stillness of remembering, what you had
And what you lost
And what you had and what you lost

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing
Say, women, they will come and they will go
When the rain washes you clean, you'll know
You'll know, you will know, you'll know

Thunder only happens when it's raining
Players only love you when they're playing

Black Metallic

( Catherine Wheel )

It's the colour of your
It's the colour of your skin

I've never seen you when you're smiling
It really gets under my skin
You say it's easy when it's faster
I still can't guess what you're after

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic

I think of you when you're sleeping
Of all the secrets that you're keeping
You can't stay all day under the covers
'Cause under there you'll discover

It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
It's the colour of your skin
Your skin is black metallic
You're turning black metallic

Turning black metallic
Turning black metallic

Somebody

(Depeche Mode)

I want somebody to share
Share the rest of my life
Share my innermost thoughts
Know my intimate details
Someone who'll stand by my side
And give me support
And in return
He'll get my support
He will listen to me
When I want to speak
About the world we live in
And life in general
Though my views may be wrong
They may even be perverted
He'll hear me out
And won't easily be converted
To my way of thinking
In fact he'll often disagree
But at the end of it all
He will understand me

I want somebody who cares
For me passionately
With every thought and
With every breath
Someone who'll help me see things
In a different light
All the things I detest
I will almost like
I don't want to be tied
To anyone's strings
I'm carefully trying to steer clear of
Those things
But when I'm asleep
I want somebody
Who will put their arms around me
And kiss me tenderly
Though things like this
Make me sick
In a case like this
I'll get away with it

Under the Milky Way

(The Church)

Sometimes when this place gets kind of empty
Sound of their breath fades with the light
I think about the loveless fascination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Lower the curtain down on Memphis
Lower the curtain down all right
I got no time for private consultation
Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

And it's something quite peculiar
Something shimmering and white
Leads you here despite your destination
Under the Milky Way tonight

Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find
Wish I knew what you were looking for
Might have known what you would find

Under the Milky Way tonight
Under the Milky Way tonight
Under the Milky Way tonight

Eyes Without a Face

( Billy Idol )

I'm all out of hope
One more bad dream could bring a fall
When you're far from home
Don't call me on the phone
And tell me you're alone
It's easy to deceive
It's easy to tease
But hard to get release

Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
You got no human grace
Your eyes without a face

I spend so much time
Believing all the lies
To keep the dream alive
Now it makes me sad
It makes me mad at truth
For loving what was you

Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
You got no human grace
Your eyes without a face

When you hear the music you make a dip
Into someone else's pocket then make a slip
Steal a car and go to Las Vegas oh, the gigolo pool
I'm on a bus on a psychedelic trip
Reading murder books tryin' to stay hip
I'm thinkin' of you you're out there so
Say your prayers
Say your prayers
Say your prayers

Now I close my eyes
And I wonder why
I don't despise
Now all I can do
Is love what was once
So alive and new

Les yeux sans visage
Eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
Les yeux sans visage
Your eyes without a face
Your eyes without a face
Your eyes without a face

If I Were

( Vashti Bunyan )

If I were to go away
Would you follow me to the ends of the earth
To show me what your love is worth
Or would you go and buy a car
Shrug your shoulders, say there you are
She didn’t love me anyway
If she did she would have stayed

If I were to go away
Would I always look for your beautiful face
In every crowd, every place
Or would I go and buy a hat
Turn my shoulders, say that is that
He didn't love me now it's clear
If he did he would be here

Dancing In The Dark

(Bruce Springsteen)

I get up in the evening
And I ain't got nothing to say
I come home in the morning
I go to bed feeling the same way
Ain't nothing but tired
Man, I'm just tired and bored with myself
Hey there, baby
I could use just a little help

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Message keeps getting clearer
Radio's on and I'm moving 'round the place
I check my look in the mirror
I want to change my clothes, my hair, my face
Man, I ain't getting nowhere
I'm just living in a dump like this
There's something happening somewhere
Baby, I just know that there is

You can't start a fire
You can't start a fire without a spark
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

You sit around getting older
There's a joke somewhere and it's on me
I'll shake this world off my shoulders
Come on, baby, the laugh's on me

Stay on the streets of this town
And they'll be carving you up all right
They say you gotta stay hungry
Hey baby, I'm just about starving tonight
I'm dying for some action
I'm sick of sitting 'round here trying to write this book
I need a love reaction
Come on now, baby, gimme just one look

You can't start a fire
Sitting 'round crying over a broken heart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the
You can't start a fire
Worrying 'bout your little world falling apart
This gun's for hire
Even if we're just dancing in the dark

Even if we're just dancing in the dark
Even if we're just

Weak And Powerless

( A Perfect Circle )

Tilling my own grave to keep me level
Jam another dragon down the hole
Digging to the rhythm and the echo of a solitary siren
One that pushes me along and leaves me so

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless over you

Someone feed the monkey while I dig in search of China
White as Dracula as I approach the bottom

Desperate and ravenous
I'm so weak and powerless over you

Little angel go away
Come again some other day
The devil has my ear today
I'll never hear a word you say

Promised I would find a little solace
And some peace of mind
Whatever just as long as I don't feel so

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless

Desperate and ravenous
So weak and powerless
Over you

Last Rights

(Damien Jurado)

I'm not a bird
You catch and release
Your last phone call
Some last ride home

I'm playing for keeps
The characters are real
So don't ride me out
Like a noise that you hear on return
That's easy to land but harder to fall
Broken on command

I'll change my tune
If it matters to you
God forbid that you listen
To a voice of a man not with it

March sixteenth
This sorry is for you
Send it back if you don't want it
Like a noise that you hear on return
It's easy to land but it's harder to fall
Broken on command

Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around
Should you ever, ever need me to stick around

All I Need

(Radiohead)

I'm the next act
Waiting in the wings
I'm an animal
Trapped in your hot car
I am all of the days
That you choose to ignore

You are all I need
You're all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

I'm a moth
Who just wants to share your light
I'm just an insect
Trying to get out of the night
I only stick with you
Because there are no others

You are all I need
You're all I need
I'm in the middle of your picture
Lying in the reeds

It's wrong
It's wrong
It's wrong
It's right

It's wrong
It's wrong
It's wrong
It's right

It's wrong
It's wrong
It's wrong
It's right

Lost Songs

Open Ocean

I call you "my love"
'Cause that's what I called you
Well, your arms
Used to be around me
And some of the time
The air will turn into snow
And my tears turn into diamonds

Don't know where you are
But I'm a part of the open ocean
And if you had your books in me
There's not a mark that you could see

All seemed to be lost
But it's starting not to miss you
All the nights have folded in half
How magic is that
My heart melted half again
But our mouths were the magic back then

Don't know where you are
But I'm a part of the open ocean
And if you had your books in me
There's not a mark that you could see
Now my body even lets me dream

Don't know where you are
But I'm a part of the open ocean
Don't know where you are
But I'm a part of the open ocean
And if you had your books in me
There's not a mark that you could see
Now my body even lets me dream

Slip

To the objects I kept
And the people I dreamed
To all the places
I've fallen asleep

And the pillows with flowers
All muted and small
And patterns like forests
On each of the walls

Each ? has a scent
Like the curve of a neck
How I died in yours
Where the honey collects

All the pillows with flowers
All muted and small
And patterns like forests
On each of the walls

The smallest insect
Who with one little slip
Became part of the fowl
And was buried with it

Weaving

Taught me to sing along with you
How thunder and lightning goes
Took me to warmer longitude
Taught me to walk the coals

I don't know what to believe in
At the end of the scene

Your skin, how it tasted of caramel
How I knew that you weren't a ghost
But I didn't hold you very well
Disappeared when my eyes closed

I don't know what to believe in
At the end of the scene
The hook broke off
And it's weaving
For the bottom of the sea

Everything I Wanted

(Billie Eilish cover)

If I knew it all then
Would I do it again
Would I do it again
If they knew what they said
Would go straight to my head
What would they say instead

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
Not what you'd think
And if I'm being honest
It might have been a nightmare
To anyone who might care

Thought I could fly
So I stepped off the golden
Nobody cried
Nobody even noticed
I saw them standing right there
Kinda thought they might care

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me

And you say
As long as I'm here
No one can hurt you
Don't wanna lie here
But you can learn to

If I could change the way
That you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
"They don't deserve you"

I tried to scream
But my head was under water
They called me weak
Like I'm not just somebody's daughter

It could've been a nightmare
But it felt like they were right there
And it feels like yesterday was a year ago
But I don't wanna let anybody know
'Cause everybody wants something from me now
And I don't wanna let 'em down

I had a dream
I got everything I wanted
But when I wake up, I see
You with me

As long as I'm here
(As long as I'm here)
(No one can hurt you)
Don't wanna lie here
(Don't wanna lie here)
But you can learn to

If I could change the way
That you see yourself
You wouldn't wonder why you hear
"They don't deserve you"

If I knew it all then
Would I do it again
Would I do it again
If they knew what they said
Would go straight to my head
What would they say instead

If I knew it all then
Would I do it again
Would I do it again
If they knew what they said
Would go straight to my head
What would they say instead

Colors That Did Not Exist

And the world makes a sound as it moves
Like the fridge possessed in the other room
Oh I swear when I think of your mouth
It's only making words
But sound words are more dangerous
That an axe in the woods
Or a kiss
I think we should

If we kiss
It would make colors that did not exist
When we first started

And the world makes a sound as it moves
And the fridge possessed in the other room
Oh I swear when I think of your mouth
It's only making words
But sound words are more dangerous
That an axe in the woods
Or a kiss
I think we should

If we kiss
It would make colors that did not exist
When we first started

If we kiss
It would make colors that did not exist
When we first started

Becalmed

They say that the waves come in
But they're not good in staying
I'll look for another thing
To make me feel OK

In the rooms where I've laid
Where no one would find me

I'll think of another time
When there was light
It's nothing that disappeared
It's just night

So what if I plead
To someone I don't believe

I'm losing out without a sound
Just one day the belonging is on the ground

I haven't found my calm
I haven't found my storm
I haven't found my storm
I haven't found my calm

I haven't found my calm
I haven't found my storm
I haven't found my storm
(I haven't found my storm)
I haven't found my calm

After Me

I can't help it if my heart
Keeps me closer to the door
Close my eyes in all the parts
Where you lose right off the shore

Like all of the pearls in the sea
All the girls that you'll kiss after me
I only see what I don't want to see

See, there's just one piece of thread
The more you pull, the more I let
You see somewhere in the glass
The frame I focus on's the last

Like all of the words you don't speak
All the girls that you'll kiss after me
I only see what I don't want to see

You Must Have

You must have said
Said the wind to touch me
'Cause I wasn't supposed
To feel like this

And the rain is warm
And the clouds are low
And the water that falls
Keeps on touching my lips

And when I say I miss you
I mean that I felt you
In all the unconscious things
That I did

Like braiding my hair
Or watching the moon
Like falling asleep
Without the blankets

At The Cannons

Time was never on you
No, you never had it on your back
And it's just a curse that I'm the one who
Left the lights all on
And ? to never turn them off
Turn them

If our mouths were close to as I have wanted
And we had our horses at the gate
And the men were standing at the cannons
I don't think I'd have the heart to call the army off
Call them

What if all that I sing don't make a sound
Seems my cannon's been turned the wrong way round
What if one of the things you said was true
I'm not waiting for anyone but you

Wordless

Winter sits above my bed
But sit with me
Wordless, read to me instead
Just read to me

Love holds
It's enough to be around
Stick it out
Whatever comes

I will bend the way you bend
In time wth you
Weightless snow will line our banks
I'll bear with you

Love holds
It's enough to be around
Stick it out
When winter comes

Closest

Love is not a cube of ice
I have melting in my mouth
Love is not the arm of gold
Before the light goes out

Love, I carry you to bed
Even when you're not there
That's when I hold you closest

I mean to say
When you're away
My neck
Still shivers from your gaze

Love, I carry you to bed
Even when you're not there
That's when I hold you closest

Fade Away

Seems like time goes in reverse sometimes
In the dark
My ? side of your face
The ghost of bones

Sundown
Everyone return to your nest
White lights are only making shadows
In your chest

What if all your colors fade away
And no one decodes all the notes on the page
What if there is no one there to say
"The morning has come"
Does it come anyway

We all have our own kind of ache after all
How can something feel like it's nothing at all

Sundown
Everything's returned to its place
Does the silence make an echo
Soft as lace

What if all your colors fade away
And no one decodes all the words on the page
What if there is no one there to say
"The morning has come"
Does it come anyway

Inside Of Love

(Nada Surf cover)

Watching terrible TV
It kills all thought
Getting spacier than
An astronaut

Making out with people
I hardly know or like
I can't believe what I do
Late at night

I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above

Only when we get to see
The aerial view
Will the patterns show
We'll know what to do

I know the last page so well
I can't read the first
So I just don't start
It's getting worse

I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above

I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I can't find my way in
I try again and again

I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
I can't find my way in
I try again and again

I'm on the outside of love
Always under or above
Must be a different view
To be a me with a you

I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
I'm standing at the gates
I see the beauty above

I wanna know what it's like
On the inside of love
Of course I'll be alright
I just had a bad night
I had a bad night

Impossible Cures

And you say it's my fault
To need impossible cures
But I swear I've been happier before

Lately I'm finding
That I need winding

And you say you can't fix
All the plates I've thrown
And keep your hands over
My broken bones

But I call you darling
I think that means something

Don't know how long it takes
To heal this bad an ache
But I think it must
And that the time will come
And I bet that you'll love what I have become

And you say it's my fault
To need impossible cures
But I swear I've been happier before

It's No Good

(Covering Depeche Mode EP)

Gonna take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above
The gods decree
You'll be right here by my side
Right next to me
You can run, but you cannot hide

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good

I'll be fine
I'll be waiting patiently
Till you see the signs
And come running to my open arms
When will you realise
Do we have to wait till our worlds collide
Open up your eyes
You can't turn back the tide

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good

I have all the time in the world

Gonna take my time
I have all the time in the world
To make you mine
It is written in the stars above

Don't say you want me
Don't say you need me
Don't say you love me
It's understood
Don't say you're happy
Out there without me
I know you can't be
'Cause it's no good

Never Let Me Down

(Covering Depeche Mode EP)

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

I'm taking a ride
With my best friend
I hope he never lets me down again
He knows where he's taking me
Taking me where I want to be
I'm taking a ride
With my best friend

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

We're flying high
We're watching the world pass us by
Never want to come down
Never want to put my feet back down
On the ground

Never let me down
Never let me down
See the stars, they're shining bright
(Never let me down)
Everything's alright tonight
(Never let me down)
See the stars, they're shining bright
(Never let me down)
Everything's alright tonight
(Never let me down)
See the stars, they're shining bright
(Never let me down)
Everything's alright tonight
(Never let me down)
See the stars, they're shining bright
Everything's alright tonight
(Never let me down)

Question Of Lust

(Covering Depeche Mode EP)

Fragile
Like a baby in your arms
Be gentle with me
I'd never willingly
Do you harm

Apologies
Are all you seem to get from me
But just like a child
You make me smile
When you care for me
And you know

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Independence
Is still important for us though
It's easy to make
The stupid mistake
Of letting go
Do you know what I mean

My weakness
You know each and every one
But I need to drink
More than you seem to think
Before I'm anyone's
And you know

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Kiss me goodbye
When I'm on my own
You know that I'd rather be home

It's a question of lust
It's a question of trust
It's a question of not letting
What we've built up
Crumble to dust
It is all of these things and more
That keep us together

Slip

( Poetry EP )

To the objects I kept
And the people I dreamed
To all of the places
I have ever fallen asleep

And the pillows with flowers
All muted and small
And patterns like forests
On each of the walls
Each room has a scent
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
Like the curve of a neck
How I died in yours
Where the honey collects

And the pillows with flowers
All muted and small
And patterns like forests
On each of the walls
Each room has a scent

Like the smallest insect
Who with one little slip
Became part of the fossil
And was buried with it

Stripped

(Covering Depeche Mode EP)

Come with me
Into the trees
We'll lay on the grass
Let the hours pass

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Let's get away
Just for one day

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Metropolis
Has nothing on this
We're breathing in fumes
I taste when we kiss

Take my hand
Come back to the land
Where everything's ours
For a few hours

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone

Let me hear you
Make decisions
Without your television
Let me hear you speaking
Just for me

Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
(Let me hear you speaking
Just for me)
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
(Let me hear you crying
Just for me)
Let me see you
Stripped down to the bone
(Let me hear you crying
Just for me)

Thin

(Remixes LP)

What if the reason
I don't touch you is because
I, I don't need more reasons
To remember your skin

And if you think I'm steady
With or without you
If you hold me for a moment
I will cave in

There is a line between
Remembering and needing
There is a line between
Wanting to be and being
It is thin as a wing
It is thin as a wing

What if the reason
I don't touch you is because
I, I don't need more reasons
To remember your skin

And if you think I'm steady
With or without you
If you hold me for a moment
I will cave in

There is a line between
Remembering and needing
There is a line between
Wanting to be and being
It is thin as a wing
It is thin as a wing

Ties that Bind

( J. Tillman Cover )

Let's go stand out on the bridge
Where the railroad is
And watch the cars escape
Our two scarves in the wind
Blowing the same direction
Like two banners behind
Looking strained

And I don't have the patience
For a life of treason
I have tried
I have done my time
Living in the shadow of the ties
That bind

Always talk heroically
Hanging by a string
We don't know where from
When I'm forty years old
Will I regret what I've told
Is a life spent in beauty and deceit
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I don't have the patience
For a life of treason
I have tried
I have done my time
Living in the shadow of the ties
That bind

I don't have the patience
For a life of treason
I have tried
I have done my time
Living in the shadow of the ties
That bind

I don't have the patience
For a life of treason
I have tried
I have done my time
Living in the shadow of the ties
That bind

Wake Up

(Moow feat. Lotte Kestner / I Can't Tell You How Much It Hurts LP)

What about the hours I spend
Devising the tales I've told
What about the hours I spend
Devising the tales I've told
What
What

What about the hours I spend
Devising the tales I've told
What about the hours I spend
Devising the tales I've told
What
What

White Christmas

( Kevin Long & Lotte Kestner )

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
Just like the ones I used to know
Where the treetops glisten and children listen
To hear sleigh bells in the snow

I'm dreaming of a white Christmas
With every Christmas card I write
May your days be merry and bright
And may all your Christmases be white

World In My Eyes

(Covering Depeche Mode EP)

Let me take you on a trip
Around the world and back
And you won't have to move
You just sit still

Now let your mind do the walking
And let my body do the talking
Let me show you the world in my eyes

I'll take you to the highest mountain
To the depths of the deepest sea
And we won't need a map
Believe me

Now let my body do the moving
And let my hands do the soothing
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can feel now
That's all there is

Let me put you on a ship
On a long, long trip
Your lips close to my lips

All the islands in the ocean
All the heaven's in motion
Let me show you the world in my eyes

That's all there is
Nothing more than you can touch now
That's all there is

Let me show you the world in my eyes
Let me show you the world in my eyes

You Must Have

( Poetry EP )

You must have sent
Sent the wind to touch me
'Cause air isn't supposed to feel like this
Rob from always on the run dot net is so bad and copy paste is a sin
And the rain is warm
And the clouds are low
And the water that falls
Keeps on touching my lips
And when I say I miss you
I mean that I felt you in
All of the unconscious things
That I did like braiding my hair
Or watching the moon
Like falling asleep
Without any blankets
