Nina has just finished an album called ‘Really Really do’ with her band The Husbands. It will be released in Ireland on April Friday the 13th 2007. The first single 'Flutter and Wow' is available by texting 'music 262' to 57501. The second single, the double a side; ‘Fitness’ and ‘Somewhere out there’ is available as a download on www.ninahynes.com in ‘shop’.
She is currently touring with one of her Husbands. Fabien Leseure, a French musician and sound engineer. Together they make a unique sound that is atmospheric and dreamy indie pop. Nina has been playing with recorded sound since about
the age of seven when she used to collect the tapes of bleeps from the heart machines in a hospital where her auntie worked. She used to record herself singing over the bleeps. She started the piano around this time also and wrote her first song at the age of eight about a man who used to dress up as a woman called 'Big Woman'. Since then, she has learned the guitar and her solo shows often incorporate live-layering and sampling using guitar pedals, spoons and whatever is at hand. She writes songs and music on guitar, piano, harp, computer or whatever instrument is lying around. She tours mostly solo but has been involved in many bands, instrumental, experimental, acoustic, electronic and electro rock. Often, her shows are atmospheric using costumes and visuals edited live to the music. She spent 2004-2006 in college studying sound engineering and music technology. She releases hand-made limited edition Eps on her own label Transplant Records and in the last two years has begun touring solo around Europe.

In 2003, she was nominated for ‘Best Female’ in the Meteor Awards. She has performed on over twenty compilations, soundtracks and releases and has collaborated with many people including the experimental French composer Hector Zazou and Brian Eno collaborator, Harold Budd. Actress and Singer, Jane Birkin ("Je t'aime") has recently covered a song of Nina's on a collaboration album with Hector Zazou. Her first solo release was "Creation"(mini-album), released in 1999
and her subsequent debut album "Staros” in 2002. Both are critically acclaimed in Ireland and the USA (where
she has toured extensively), and up until recently had only been available in America as an import and through Amazon.com, who voted “Creation” number 44 in their TOP 100 RELEASES OF THE YEAR - it topped releases by Sparklehorse, Pavement, Stereolab, Underworld and Tindersticks. In March 2006, her song ’Universal’ was in the final 50 out of 15,000 entries in the most prestigious and largest song writing competition in the US.

William Tell

No pictures on the wall
Just the bare colour
I've had to strip it down
To just the bare colour

I'm not your bread-dough girl
That you can mould in your hands
To bake for your appetite
Cannot be filled by me

I'm not your wife, William Tell
It's when the times are so exciting, I love you
So just let go of your arrows, William Tell
It's when you make it so inviting, I love you

I'm not your bread-dough girl
That you can mould in your hands
To bake for your appetite
Cannot be filled by me

It's when the times are so exciting
I need you...
It's when you make it so inviting

I'm not your bread-dough girl
That you can mould in your hands
To bake for your appetite
Cannot be filled by me
I'm not your bread-dough girl

This Magic Stuff

Be my sanctuary
I know it's not ordinary of me
But I can't get enough of you
I could be in love with you
So be true
'Cause I know
I know, I know, I know you

When you're away
I promise you'll stay in my heart
If you stay
I promise you'll stay in my heart
You'll stay in my heart

'Cause you bring me
Somewhere so beautiful
You make me
Feel so beautiful
You take me
Somewhere so beautiful
And you know it's you

I could be your gambling machine
And you could put the money in me
Can't call the bluff on you
I could be in love with you
So be true
'Cause I know
I know, I know, I know you

When you're away
I promise you'll stay in my heart
If you stay
I promise you'll stay in my heart
You'll stay in my heart

'Cause you bring me
Somewhere so beautiful
You make me
Feel so beautiful
You take me
Somewhere so beautiful
And you know it's you
You know it's you
You know it's you
You know it's you
You know it's you
You know it's you

He Turned The Light Off

Do you know who I am anymore
Do you know who I am anymore
I thought I was covered for eternity
It was my own mother who brought me
From the deep, into the real world
Into the real world

I try to find my peace
I try to curve my niche

He turned the light off
So I could see his star shine
I let the lines cross
Coasting through it
Heart of life

Do you still let it in anymore
Do you still want to love to the core
Do you feel you've discovered something so concrete
It was your own lover that brought you to the deep
Into the real world, into the real world

And try to be released
And try to face the beast

He turned the light off
So I could see his star shine
I let the lines cross
Coasting through it
Heart of life

He turned the light off
So I could see this star shine
I let the lines cross
Coasting through it
Heart of life

Speak your voice I hear
Come on hold me now
Speak your voice I hear
Come on hold me now
Speak your voice I hear
Come on hold me now
Speak your voice I hear
Come on hold me now

Trigger

I feel your everglade rising
My face is raw from lying
Our fears could carry us almost there

Turn over a new page
Turn over a new page
Turn over a new page
Catch yourself falling
And pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up

One move could trigger an ice-age
Unleashing from the mind's cage
We will our bodies carcass leave

Turn over a new page
Turn over a new page
Catch yourself falling
And pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up

Your end is my beginning
I won't stop my soul giving
Crash down
Erosion comes your way

Turn over a new page
Turn over a new page
Catch yourself falling
And pick it up
Pick it up

Catch yourself falling
And pick it up
Pick it up

Catch yourself falling
And pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up

Catch yourself falling
And pick it up
Pick it up
Pick it up

It's as easy as that

Out of the tunnel

Out of the tunnel we have come
Out of the darkness, better than ever before
We had blankets, we had beds
Protection, illusion

You were a warm wind blowing
You were a soft breeze on me
You were a wild beast wrecking
You were such a strong force

I've been blown away by you

You were a sky so stormy
You were a little light drizzling
You came into my dreaming lightly
You were not careful, you were heavy

I've been blown away by you
I've been blown away by you
I've been blown away by you
I've been blown away by you

But we're out of the tunnel
We're out of the darkness
Out, out, out...
Dream...

Bring me alive

Got beautifully beaten by the storm
Uncovered so many layers
This physical manifestation of me is
Not who I am, not who I am
Some clinical analysation of me is
Not who I am, not who I am
And you, will always be here
Yes you will always be here
With you I seem to loose all sense of who I am
Is gone with us just breathing
In, out, in, out, brings me alive

With you I seem to loose all sense of who I am
Is gone with us just breathing
In, out, in, out, brings me alive
In, out, in, out, brings me alive
In, out, in, out, brings me alive
In, out, in, out, brings me alive

Bring me alive
Got beautifully beaten by the storm
Uncovered so many layers
This physical manifestation of me is
Not who I am, not who I am
Some clinical analysation of me is
Not who I am, not who I am
And you, will always be here
Yes you will always be here
With you I seem to loose all sense of who I am
Is gone with us just breathing
In, out, in, out, brings me alive

With you I seem to loose all sense of who I am
Is gone with us just breathing
In, out, in, out, brings me alive
In, out, in, out, brings me alive
In out, in out, brings me alive
In out, in out, brings me alive

Brings me alive, brings me alive
Brings me alive, brings me alive.
Brings me alive, brings me alive.
Brings me alive, brings me alive.
Brings me alive, brings me alive X11
This music, brings me alive, brings me alive
This music, brings me alive, brings me alive...

*** Thanx a lot to Orla for this one ***

Staros

Time Flies

She's got a watch
And it can speak the time
In a New York accent
It says 8:45
And when she's late for work
It's up to you to get her up
It's so cold outside
She'd never leave you
For kissing you goodbye

No we don't say 'I love you'
But I know she's mine
No we don't say 'I love you'
But I know she's mine

He's got a smile
That makes you feel you've won the first prize
His long eyelashes blink so fast before he cries
You trust him when he says
He won't tell you any lies
How times flies
He wouldn't leave you for kissing you goodbye

No we don't say 'I love you'
But I know he's mine
No we don't say 'I love you'
But I know he's mine

Time flies, time flies, how time flies, with you
How time flies, time flies, time flies, with you

Mono Prix

Hey when we first met
I thought that time had come for me to die
But now I see that you had come to bring in here new life
To think that I hear music that I never knew could be
To think that I can see new things I never would have seen

I will wish for you the best
I can see in you
While I watch you sleeping

We've got so much time
We've got time
We've got so much life
We've got life to live

And life is full of complicated situations, hush
I'll bring you tea in mornings when you feel you have to rush
Affection is not real although I felt it with you near
So stay with me while we grow older live life with no fear

I will wish for you the best
I can see in you
While I watch you dreaming

We've got so much time
We've got time
We've got so much life
We've got life to live
To live, to live, to live

We've got so much, so much time
We've got so much time
We've got so much, so much time
We've got so much life
We've got so much, so much time
I will wish for you the best
We've got so much, so much time
I can see in you in you
While I watch the clouds go on the sky
We've got so much time
We've got time
We've got so much life
We've got so much time
We've got time
We've got so much life
We've got life to live

La la la la la...

Universal

It could have been any one of us
You or me
To walk the line of fire
Any day it all could change
Don't see it coming on, it's coming on

It's a crazy, crazy world
A topsy-turvy, upside down, corners curving kind of world
And sometimes, I don't know
Who I am
And sometimes, I don't know
Where I stand

It's universal, I know, I know
It's not less special, to know, to know
Everybody can feel it too
And what's unique
Is me and you

Watching the way things can turn round and round
You need the grace of a tightrope walker
Anyway now, that you can, just do something that's good
Something that's good

It's a crazy, crazy world
A topsy-turvy, upside down, corners curving kind of world
And sometimes, I don't know
Who I am
And sometimes, I don't know
Where I stand

It's universal, I know, I know
It's not less special, to know, to know
Everybody can feel it too
And what's unique
Is me and you

It's a crazy world

The other side of now

The little boy I met today with the evil eye reminded me of you
With his little catapult thing, I gave him a look as if to say "just you try" reminded me of you

All the missiles intercepting missiles meet
All the broken republics breakdown
All the centuries of cities crash
I'll meet you on the other side of now
I see you on the other side of now
I want you on the other side of now

And the shiny streets below the rathmines clock
I was walking to the beat reminded me of you
And the siren came from the street last night
Was trying to sleep, reminded me of you

All the missiles intercepting missiles meet
All the broken republics breakdown
All the centuries of cities crash
I'll meet you on the other side of now
I see you on the other side of now
I want you on the other side of now

And the sweet temptation like a corner shop everywhere i turn reminding me of you
And the coloured ring upon my finger, finger burning, reminding me of you
And the cover on the magazine, beauty shines reminding me of you
How history repeats itself, love is blind reminding me of you

All the missiles intercepting missiles meet
All the broken republics breakdown
All the centuries of cities crash
I'll meet you on the other side of now
I see you on the other side of now
I want you on the other side of now

I want you on the other side of now

Last Song Of The 20th Century

Radios and cars, walkmans, aeroplanes
Electric fans, cyber-sex, your ideal man
Helicopters, floating candles, liquidizers
TV channels, buy it now while you can
Video remote control, acid rain and sugar snow
The butter mountain, ten year plan.

The world is your oyster
I've seen it on TV

And now's about the time
We look into our minds
We look into our lives and see
Who's feeding of who
Who's giving what to
Who is full and who is empty
Yeah, and I'll still be here
I'll be here for you
Yea, I'll still be here
I'll be here for you

Mobile phones and hairdryers
Firelighters, instant fires
Doggy clothes and ethnic cleansing
Coca-Cola signs on mars, plastic breasts
Rocket cars, cosmic fearing gay priests preaching
Casanova presidents, the bombing down of monuments
The papers tell you who the stars are kissing

The world is your oyster
I've seen it on TV

And now's about the time
We look into our minds
We look into our lives and see
Who is feeding off who
Who is giving what to
Who is full and who is empty
Yeah, and I'll still be here
I'll be here for you
Yeah, I'll still be here
I'll be here for you

The world is your oyster
I've seen it on TV

Tenderness

Give me some tenderness
In need of gentleness

The city's such a fast place
You are not made for the rat race
Remembering the time that you prayed in to your pillow
'Til the morning light, it's alright now

Look in to the skies
For the stars within your eyes

And feel the splendidness
Mending the brokenness
You thought it was all over
But you see it's just beginning
Remembering the time
That we stayed up all night singing
'Til the morning light
It's alright now

Look in to the skies
For the stars within your eyes
And feel the sparkle come back to life

Shine

You were the brain child of your time
You could walk on water, walk through fire
If only you knew that love was blind
You'd set up a lie detector in your mind

But see how you fall in and out of time
See how you go blind
It only takes belief to feel it shine

So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine

You're married to your TV set
Your friends are in the fridge and on the shelf
If you could remember to pay the bill
You could make the telephone your new thrill

But see how you fall in and out of time
And see how you go blind
It only takes belief to feel it shine

So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine

So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine
So let it shine

So let it shine

Swallow

Take me out for a little walk
I could be your doggie dog
Thinking of all the things that we love to do
We could make a living
Would you love me if I'm small or I'm tall
If I'm fat or thin

Swallow me
Show me you mean it
When you say you love me now
Love me now

Fingers wrapped around your neck
Walk the diving board off deck
Thinking of all the wonderful unbelievable things we do
I wonder if in two thousand and sixty nine, I will be with you

Swallow me
Show me you mean it
When you say you love me now
Love me now

I know I hang out with strangers and freaks
But no one else ever gets close to me
Like you, like you

Swallow me
Show me you mean it
When you say you love me now
Love me now

Swallow me
Show me you mean it
When you say you love me now
Love me now

Dive

Beyond the words we speak
The sacred line from you to me
In our own minds we touch the sky
Our everyday lives we're keepers of time

You can come down
I'll take you to mine
Take you in to the divine

And when I'm drowning in the sea of me
Will you dive in and save me
Dive in and take me out of the crowd in my head
And when I'm really dead I'll be your bed
You can rest your head on me

Funny times to be
Stigmata world we bleed
But with our own hands we'll touch the sky
There's every chance your dream horse will ride

You can come down
I'll take you to mine
Take you in to the divine

Dive in love, dive with love

Zhivago Blue

Searching for the gold
Wrapped in silver
On a Rathmines road
Didn't mean to be bitter, didn't mean to be cold
Just missing the closeness of you
Sounds like such a cliché
But no-one can do what you do

Zhivago blue, to you I'm true
Zhivago blue, I'm coming to you
I put my foot on the accelerator
I'll see you soon and forget about later
Forget about later, forget about later

Cocoa without sugar, impersonal coffee
A refugee stare
Everyone's crazy and going nowhere
Just missing the closeness of you
It sounds like such a cliché
But no-one can do what you do

Now

He said I only can rely myself
And he wrapped it up and put me on his shelf
It's so easy to walk away
What's a friend then if you don't stay
Around when I'm down when I'm on the ground
Where are you to be found

And I'm trying hard not to be cynical
In a world we are few seem to keep their word
But who am I to say, was I there, did I stay
Around when you were down when you were on the ground
Was I there to be found

And I believe in love
And I believe we can change the world
To see how future could be ours
Future could be hours
And I believe in now

He said "I love you forever sweetie pie"
He said "My love, you know our souls are linked for life"
It's so easy to say
What does it all mean if you don't stay
Around when I'm down when I'm on the ground
Are you there to be found

She's passing by
No more stay here
Forget me now while I disappear
Did I give, did I take
Was I there, did I stay
Around when you were down when you were on the ground
Was I there to be found

And I believe in love
And I believe we can change the world
To see how future could be ours
Future could be hours
And I believe in now

And I believe in love
And I believe we can change the world
To see how future could be ours
Future could be ours
And I believe in now

*** Thanx a lot to Chogu for this one ***

Staros

You were always on my mind
I know I said that you should leave
I didn't mean a thing
I didn't say it from my heart
I said it from my most instinctive defensive part

So kiss me like this could be the last day
This could be the last time you hold me this way
So show me if I mean the world to you
So show me if I mean the world to you

Been living like a hurricane
Into my house, into my streets
It blew my city down
I know there's nobody to blame
Just something so fast could never last

So take it like this could be last day
This could be the last time you hold me this way
So show me if I mean the world to you
So show me if I mean the world to you

You're gone as gone as you have come
I said that you could be the one
And I meant everything
You know I said it from my heart
I said it from my most instinctive courageous part

I will take you with me when I go, when I go

Really really do

Flutter and Wow

You flutter and wow
Now cut up and paste your memory
Highlight the effect that led you astray and send me
Some grace, this page is torn
I'm out of phase, need to be reborn

Look how amazing it is
Look how amazing it is
Look how amazing it is

Look how amazing it is
Look how amazing it is
Look how amazing it is

You're running so far
Just shut up and face the memory
Undoing the glaze that led me astray
So send me, some space
The phase is over
I'm out of sight
Gone to brave the fight

Look how amazing it is
Look how amazing it is
Look how amazing it is

Look how amazing it is
Look how amazing it is
Look how amazing it is

The day is now and belief
Belief is all you need
The day is now

Somewhere Out there

Looking out holding on
Moulding all the thoughts I have
I realise the power now
Begin again, begin again

Touch and go, line so fine
Never thought could be so good
You got me feeling that I could believe again
I could believe again

Somewhere out there
I can believe
Somewhere out there
I can see

Toast the town, lost and found
Letting go of all I've ever known
It happens now
I can begin again
I can live again

Now's the time, yours and mine
Moulding all the thoughts I have
Realise the power now
Begin again, I can live again

Somewhere out there
I can believe
Somewhere out there
I can see
It's you for me and me for you
You for me and me for you

You got me, you got me, you got me
You got me, you got me, you got me
You got me, you got me

Somewhere out there
I can believe
Somewhere out there
I can see
It's you for me and me for you
You for me and me for you

Fitness

We do fitness, we can christen stars
We do euthanasia and life on mars
We do great escapes
We can even clone you

We've great machines who can get to know you
Know you, know you, know you know you
We do amazing polystyrene

You can fix me, I can fix you
Meet you at therapy, need to consume
You can fix me, I can fix you
Meet you at therapy, need

We do cellophane around your soul
You know it stops your eyes from getting old
We do pace makers
We can change your hips
We can suck your thighs to puff out your lips
To puff out your lips, to puff out your lips
We do amazing polystyrene

You can fix me, I can fix you
Meet you at therapy, need to consume
You can fix me, I can fix you
Meet you at therapy, need to consume

Don't forget your daily grace
The wind might change
Don't make that face, no
Don't forget your medicine
You don't want to go before you've seen
Our amazing polystyrene

You can fix me, I can fix you
Meet you at therapy, need to consume.
You can fix me, I can fix you
Meet you at therapy, need to consume
You can fix me, I can fix you
Meet you at therapy, need to consume

Really really do

Do you think we can be real
Do you think we can be cool
It's so sad to see you go
You know we really love you so

You know we really really do
You know we really really do
You know we really really do
You know we really really do

There you go again
Going places in your mind that
If they were a street
Taxis would not take you there

I'm tuning in to your mind
Like guns in the night, or shooting stars
There's no in between
It's a vast obscene world

No looking back, no looking back
There's bars on your window
I don't want to be on the outside
I won't be the shoulder that someday you will look over
I'm looking out to the sea
To see what I'll see, shooting stars
There's no in between
It's a vast obscene world
No looking back, no looking back
There's no looking back.

We really really do
We really really do
We really really do…

Avalanche

Metallic smell of coming snow
The wind is combing through the grass
And the holes in your description of this love
Has shot my plane right of the sky
Slow motioning the essence of a life
Cursing and blessing of a life

Avalanche
Avalanche inside

Now it's the morning of your life
So leave your finger prints behind with the ashes of the fire
You were burning in the eyes of another
Who'll always be love blind
Euphoric bitterness like NY traffic in my mind
Crawling traffic though my life

Avalanche
Avalanche inside

And your fire has burned in through my soul
and your fire has burned in through my all
And your fire has burned in through my soul
Ad your fire has burned in through my all
And your fire has burned in through my soul
And your fire has burned in through my all
And your fire has burned in through my soul and your fire has

Avalanche
Avalanche inside

Moving on

You took me in your arms
You warned me of the charms
To take your holy alms in me
And Winter said that he can see in my hands
I've changed, you rearranged me

And you're moving on, feels so wrong
I don't know how to carry on without you
I held you like a child
Inside the darkest mind

We travelled deep inside
For miles and miles and miles and miles
And Winter said that he can see in my eyes
The seams, the broken lines of truth

And you are moving on
It feels so wrong
I don't know how to carry on without you

You are moving on
It feels so wrong
I don't know how to carry on without you
You are moving on
It feels so wrong
I don't know how to carry on without you

Baby's Eyes

Have to start afresh again
Forget all of the bitter end
Forget all of the loss and lies
Take off the mask and disguise
Baby footsteps in the street
Apathy and Kfc
Walking slowly to the beat
Have to love decay

And see with baby's eyes
And see with baby's eyes
See with baby's eyes
And see with baby's eyes

Programme people like machines
Ten things to do with Vaseline
Ten steps for a better life
Ten new ways to see your wife
Ten new ways to meet a man
Ten minutes a day
You can get the perfect body
And change your life from dull and bland

And see with baby's eyes
And see with baby's eyes
See with baby's eyes
And see with baby's eyes

Mama, mama, can't you see it's me
See with baby's eyes
And see with baby's eyes
See with baby's eyes
And see with baby's eyes

Watch you crawl

I have got you up against the wall
I am staying here to watch you crawl
You heart,, a darkness covers me
Your heart, a darkness smothers me
What was that you said for not to hold so tightly
What was that you said for me to open up

See my heart
A darkness hollows me
My heart
A darkness swallows me

I am going south to see the sun
I no longer wait for anyone
Oh how, the days come slowly now
Oh how, the nights come early now
Oh my God, what have we gone and done
Lost my soul again pursuing fun
Oh yeah, just right there
Please don't stop, honey if you care for me at all
Hush now and lover me
Hush now and cover me
Mother me, lover me
Cover me, smother me

Bang Bang

It's a tender trap
Puts you on the map.
All the fuss, glamour puss.

Bang bang doo doo doo doo doo
Bang bang doo doo doo doo doo

Sweetie's on the edge again.
The trigger is all set
Cards on the table, place your bet
High IQ, high boiling point
Let's roll a dice, let's rip this joint

Bang bang doo doo doo doo doo
Bang bang doo doo doo doo doo

Sweetie's on the edge again.
I've got a gun so get out of my room.
You better love me or I'm gonna kill you
I'm gonna kill you

Bang bang doo doo doo doo doo
Bang bang doo doo doo doo doo

Sweetie's on the edge again

I could be

Take me out, out beyond the stars.
I'm the line in between their cars on the road
Get so chipped and so old
Yet still, I can be the light flickering on the ceiling
As you wake in the darkness

Cover me in your holy grace
I need someone to put me in my place
On the map, get so lost in a laugh and then
I be gone for days lingering on the creases in a face
The light and darkness

I found you, I found you
I see you, I see you

Turn on

You may as well be dead
You're outside your head
I can call your name a thousand times before
Before you realise, before you realise
You're standing in my heart
You're standing in my heart

Turn on, move on

I never know what's real
In everything believe
I will fall again
A thousand times before
Before I realise
I'm falling on my own
I'm standing on my own

Turn on, move on

Your words rubbing off me like snow
Melting, pouring down my hair

Goldmine

The World

I'm for the world, the fight is over
And yes, the world is ours forever
This boat has been sinking but sail now
This boat has been sailing so long

Somehow finding it's working
I'm seeing seeing so clearly
I'm feeling somehow it's all making sense
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Yes I'm feeling everything understood
Nothing left underneath the rug
Yes we've got everything that we need.

Ring out the bell, light up the firework
Where once I fell, I now get up
This train has been slowing the rhythm
This train has been slowing down

Somehow finding it's working
I'm seeing seeing so clearly
I'm feeling somehow it's all making sense

Yes I'm feeling everything understood
Nothing left underneath the rug
Yes we've got everything that we need

Rain

Rain on me
I see the sun through those clouds
Shake me down
I see divide in your mind
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
My enemy is your fear of me
Rain, take my gun
Lead me to the one

Shoot me down
Drink from the well of your fear
Take me on
I'll be your hope and despair

Shame a lonely sword
Takes me to the lord
Rain, take my gun
Lead me to the one

Tarnished

Tarnished the stars that fall from the sky
Yours in one of the best horses
Mine is a love no sinister light
Of boys in white dresses on alters
God was blindfolded when my heart came to you
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Death to the star that prevails over all
Fear in the light of day
The young and the old all at the same time
A glittering trail of tarnish
God was blindfolded
When my heart came to you
God was all tied up
When the darkness came through

Nothing ever feels that its good enough
For your perfect private vision of the world
Well me, I've had it all and I've had enough
If its good enough for me, it's good enough for me

And I wash, wash wash my dark heart
In the wide open tide of you

Dancing Suns

Better believe now
Better forsake doubt
Better return back to headquarters
This is your sanctuary
So is the galaxy of your mind
Chasing the day we can't get away
From all the things that make us human
Yes we are weak so we must seek something true
Save the last dance for me
How to accelerate
No need to calculate
Everything might be for a reason
See synchronicity could be life kissing me
When I'm blind facing the day
We can't get away from all the things that make us human
Yes we are weak so we must seek something more
Save the last dance for me
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
How can we change in seconds
What do we ever ask to see
How can we save the Winter sun
What do you see
What for the clouds are gathering
What's even sane
Who gives the sun
How come the clouds are gathering
what do you see
Only dance for me
Who puts the sun in sun
What's even real
Real is sane
How can we save the Winter sun

Mexico

I combat for solidarity
Junkies need a place to fix
No submission to vulgarity
And Love is always hit or miss

Sail the boat to somewhere to somewhere like Mexico
Get to where the sun oh it burns
Down down down down dog
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Yes defender of society
Need a language I can speak
Moved by motions of sobriety
To find more than where ends just meet

Sail the boat to somewhere to somewhere like Mexico
Get to where the sun oh it burns
Down down down down dog

I combat for space and just some time more than survival
So we can find that thing inside that gives us hope to feel alive

Sail the boat to somewhere to somewhere like Mexico
Get to where the sun oh it burns
Down down down down dog

Cuckoo

I leave the door slightly open
So if needs be, can get out
I know my way in the darkness
Can go so fast and still make no sound
I leave my hat by the bedside
I leave my boots at the foot
I've got my back to the sunshine
Leave no footprints or traces behind
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Cuckoo
Cuckoo
I see a fire in the distance
I see a silence
A bridge of sighs
Bridge of size
Bridge of sighs
A bridge of sighs

I left the light far behind me
I hold the torch to my heart
I wear the cloak of the starlight, am held only by night,
No feelings to part

Cuckoo
Cuckoo
I see a fire in the distance
I see a silence
A bridge of sighs
Bridge of size
Bridge of sighs
A bridge of sighs

Black Eagle

He saw me as a blue bird
Then I changed my feathers
He could see
He saw I was Black Eagle

When I changed my feathers, he saw me
Now he feels like he's my prey
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
The world had lost its wonder
Then I changed the colours, I could see
All I ever dreamed of

When I changed my colours was here with me
Now see how you have it all

See how you have it all
I say men don't know how to love

Safe

When the heat is on have to give in
And you feel like you're gonna cave in
When somebody passes by and gives you that certain look
Oh how it feeds you
You're swallowed up by gestation
They crucify their heroes go unsung
You're safe here
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
Poisoned ivy and you're drinking all day
Lose your mind again
Forget to pray
Vultures everywhere looking hungry
Cast the clouds away
Lose the angry
Captured by imagination
You're tuning in to manifestation
You're safe here

Goldmine

There's danger in the morning sun
There's danger in the morning sun
By sunrise, where the crow flies, better be gone

Gold, gold, gold mine
Gold, gold, gold mine
Don't waste your time seeing blind

Money doesn't mean an awful lot
'Til your hungry outside, the door is locked
Don't stay where you're slain
Better be gone
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
That's just a losing game
Money, success they failed me
But I'm a winner, I'm a winner in my mind

Gold, gold, gold mine
Gold, gold, gold mine
Don't waste your time seeing blind

Gold, gold, gold mine
Gold, gold, gold mine
Don't waste your time seeing blind

Over The Line

I showed him my wounds and he took out his scalpel
To breath some new life in these veins
I was looking for comfort instead found a surgeon
Who needed to dissect remains
I'm always on the run and I hate copy paste for god's sake
And I fall out of my mind
And I fall

I was reading those books that are all about winning
But all I did was lose time
I thought David Lynch maybe he had the answer
Go fishing without any line
I took out my heart and I wrapped it in gold leaf
Put it away for some time
I found an old oak tree and buried it under
In digging, I found my goldmine

And I fall out of my mind
And I fall out
And I fall over the line
And I fall

 

Zap!

Looking For You

I thought it was you and me
Against the world, how wrong I was
It's you and her and her and you now

I don't claim to be original
In any way we're all the same
Go say the same things now

I read your mails
It came as some relief
To know you could feel good again
Still I know we've been losing you and me
For years I was looking for you
I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you

And I know that you're not one
For looking back and all of that
But take my word, there'll come a time you will

And you'll remember then, the cogs in wheels
Where they come from and what went wrong
And where your heart belongs

I saw your face
It hit me like a blow
To know you could feel good again
Still I knew we've been losing you and me
For years I was looking for you
I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you

And you won't find that thing inside you gave to me
You won't find that thing inside you gave to me

I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you

I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you

I was looking for you
Looking for you
Looking for you

Still Alive

Will you be my Jekyll or my Hyde
Nothing breaths under cyanide
Your blue bird has fallen from the sky
All things bloom, everything will die

We will overcome
We will overcome

Tried to let sleeping dogs lie
Something changed, the river ran dry
You moved on so soon I new
I was right to cut this bloom

We will overcome
We will overcome

All my fears turned out to be right
13 years, the 7th of my life
All those words 'Forever hold you tight'
Your french love is running through the night

We will overcome

Tried to be all you wanted
Inside me resisted your orders
Your father's son, my mother's daughter
I can't live where there's no laughter

Hold on, hold on, tight
We're still alive
Hold on, hold on, tight
We're still alive

Tower Of Rivers

All of the gardens I ever tended
No matter how splendid, I moved on
I'll never know the earth again under my feet no
Nor plant a seed, nor watch it grow

I fell into a well
To the bottom of the sea
I gave into the well
Built a tower of rivers

All of the ceilings that I ever painted
Have somehow been tainted in my mind
All of the curtains I made out of velvet
They stand in the pulpit of time

Where was my God when he put out his cigarette
On my arm when I was small
I'll never take a train again or pick up a paper
Or see a skyscraper or go to the mall

I fell into a well
To the bottom of the sea
I gave into the well
Built a tower of rivers

I die, I die
But my body keeps living
I die, I die
But my body keeps giving

I'll never leave my room again unless you drag me

White Shoes

I was a long time thinking about
The things I love about you
What is forever, forever is long
All it's changing too

That was a long time
That was a long time

I remember the view we first met
You came as the sun set
White shoes, eyes of blue
Looking through me

That was a long time
That was a long time

Revival Of Heart

Where is the meaning
Switching the channel
Your facial expression
Tower is falling down, down
I am switching on revival of heart

Cuckoo's got a hold (go)
Build another nest
Seasons will come and go
Revival of the heart can be so slow

All will come clean
All will grow old
Legacy is what we leave behind
Trees will lose their leaves
Love is blind
Love is blind
Love

Where is the money
Is all I hear you say
You were the honey
I was the bread while you were making hay
All night and day, all work no play

Cuckoo's got a hold (go)
Build another nest
Seasons will come and go
Revival of the heart can be so slow

All will come clean
All will grow old
Legacy is what we leave behind
You can eat the fruit
I'll chew the rind
Love is blind
Love

Sweet Confectionary

Working on forgiving you
Not to take it personally
You found someone who's skinnier than me
Looks more like Charlotte Gainsbourg

Who understands rigidity
Bows down to the patriarchy
Homages to men
So much closer to your dream

Sweet confectionary
(You had me in chains)
Sweet confectionary

Ours is such a tragedy
Started out as love supreme
We were the cats who got the cream
We were the ones who killed the dream

Change the picture in your locket
Chase the devil in your pocket
Hanging man of Jodorowsky
Chocolate heart's your sweet confectionary

(You had me in chains)
Sweet confectionary

Sweet confectionary
(You had me in chains)

Go

I knew what love was before I met you
You put me under, now I've come to

Oh, there's no need to lie
Oh, I wished you would die

I'm dancing in my head
Dancing in my head
Dancing in my head
Save it for the hand
Save it for the hand
See how I'm oh oh oh over you

We built a love on pure fantasy
Something inside me fell at the wheel

Oh there's no need to lie
Oh I wished you would die

Save it for the hand
Save it for the hand
See how I'm oh oh oh over you, you
Save it for the hand
Save it for the hand
See how I'm oh oh oh over you

Dancing in my head
Dancing in my head

I'm dancing in my head
Dancing in my head
Dancing in my head

I'm dancing in my head
Dancing in my head
Dancing in my head

I'm dancing in my head
Dancing in my head
Dancing in my head

I'm dancing in my head
Dancing in my head
Dancing in my head

Joan

Your mouth is moving, I can see but, darling, I can't hear
I'm under water, you are standing by, I see your fear

Did you change the world
Did you make it good
Did you mean it all
Did you live your word

It's not what you have, it's what you do with it
It's not what you have, it's what you do with it
It's not what you have, it's what you do with it
It's not what you have (hey)

Golden hearts and minds and words and love don't change a thing
It's what you do with what you feel inside that makes you sing

It's not what you have it's what you do with it
It's not what you have it's what you do with it
It's not what you have it's what you do with it
It's not what you have

(I can let it go)
(I can let it go)

Golden hearts and minds and words and love don't change a thing
It's what you do with what you feel inside that makes you sing (hey)

It's what you do with it

It's not what you have, it's what you do with it
It's not what you have, it's what you do with it
It's not what you have, it's what you do with it
It's not what you have, it's what you do with it

One Of You

All the suffers of the body see all I am
All the world is burning
And we better start again or it's over
To the top of the hill run
Run, run

I'm one of you
I'm one of you
I'm one of you
I make my own moves
I'm one of you
I'm one of you
I'm one of you
I make my own moves
(Moves, moves, moves)
I make my own moves

Oh and who started it all the fires I see
Can we buy obviously
The sense of unequal services me
Service me, me, me, me, me, me, me
Run, run

And the city rubbish
We're all born equal
Is it true, is it true

Giant otter, amur leopard
Sumatran tiger, polar bear, koala
Sumatran rhino, clownfish
The hawksbill turtles, the nightingale

Can somebody sell me the future, the future
Can somebody sell me the future

The lines are crossing now
(The stakes are getting high
The bengal flourican
The tides are rising now
The hopes are rising too

I'm one of you
I'm one of you
I'm one of you
I make my own moves
I'm one of you
I'm one of you
I'm one of you
I make my own moves

I make my own moves

(Some) People Are Good (A Lot Of The Time)

When you're losing all your power
Burning ashes in your heart
Hold your head up, hold your hand out
Let me pull you from the dark

I was wondering is anyone out there tonight
Was wondering if anything should come to light
Stepping away from the explosion

Somewhere fallen underneath
All things everybody's feeling
Caught between the lines of light
Everything was such a fight
All the birds have taken flight
Am I not deserving
Am I not deserving

Deafening the silence consummated sorrow
Lo-lo-lo-love boat was sold at sea
Holding a broken heart, I know it can heal
Emulate this love but this one was real

I was wondering is anyone out there tonight
Was wondering if anything should come to light
Stepping away from the explosion

Somewhere fallen underneath
All things everybody's feeling
Caught between the lines of light
Everything was such a flight
All the birds have taken flight
I am receiving
I am receiving
I am receiving
I am receiving
I am receiving
I am receiving

People are good
People are good

Amhrán an Síréana

( SnaG '05 - compilation album in Irish )

Ar na haigéin gan cruth
Dhein mé mo dhícheall meangadh
Gur tharraingt do mhéaracha
Mé lán le grá chuig do shúile
'S chan tú "Seol chugam, seol chugam
Tar chuig mo chuan
Seo mé Seo mé
Ag feitheamh ar do láimhe"

An rabhas i do bhrionglóidí
An raibh tú liom is mé faoi lán seoil
Seo mo amadaíocht,
Raic caillte ar do thrá
'S chan tú, "Ná leag, ná leag do lámh orm,
Ó mo chroí, ó mo chroí ag
Éalú ón mbrón"

Mé chomh soineanta le leanbh úr
Mé chomh fiáin leis an bhfarraige
An cóir dom seasamh san rabharta,
An cóir dom luí le bás mo chroí
Éist liom, "Snámh chugam, snámh chugam,
Tar i mo chuan
Seo mé Seo mé
Ag feitheamh i mo chuan"

Song of the Siren

( English Translation )

On the shapeless oceans
I did my best to resist
The pull of your fingers,
And I full of love, towards your eyes
And you sang, "Sail to me, sail to me
Come into my sea
Here I am, here I am
Waiting for your hands."

Was I in your dreams?
Were you with me when I was under full sail?
This is my foolishness,
A lost reck on your shore
And you sang; "Don't lay, don't lay your hand on me
Oh my heart, oh my heart
Fleeing from sadness."

I as innocent as a newborn
And I as wild as the sea
Can I stand in the flood,
Can I lie down with the death of my heart?
Listen to me, "Swim to me, Swim to me,
Come into my sea,
Here I am, Here I am,
Waiting in my sea."

*** Thanx a lot to Laura for this one ***

And the Party Was My Idea

(Michael Knight & Nina Hynes / Youth Is Wasted On The Young LP)

Michael Knight:
So you had a good time
Yeah, Trent's a great guy
I'm glad he drove you home
You know I hate the thought
Of you on your own
I thought tonight we could go see a movie
You never seem to know
You used always want to go
Oh you've seen that before
No it wasn't us
I'm not being suspicious

Nina Hynes:
You shouldn't worry so
You'd be the first to know

Michael Knight:
Since when were we organising committee
And these days thirtieths are hardly worth the fuss
Someone will let slip
Can we keep it quiet
Surely he'll have plans
Or does he have a girlfriend
He's never mentioned
In fact, you know, it's strange
The subject's always changed

Nina Hynes:
You shouldn't worry so
I don't think he'll ever know
He's really not that type
Though at times he might suspect
He's easily dismissed
I've known him far too long

Bad News

(Raging Fire EP)

I've seen you looking at me
What exactly do you mean
'Cause I've given up on guessing
I've given up on hidden meanings

Stay away from me
(Stay away from me)
I'm bad news, you see
(I'm bad news, you see)
I bring you lots of fun
I bring you lots of misery

Markus's got a new day job
It's his excuse not to make ?
And why has he gotten a new jumper
He's no ?, he's feeling better
He's got a new sweater

Stay away from me
(Stay away from me)
I'm bad news, you see
(I'm bad news, you see)
I bring you lots of fun
I bring you lots of misery

?
I still hope something will come soon
But I don't know where I should come and go
I think you should
I think you should

Stay away from me
(Stay away from me)
I'm bad news, you see
(I'm bad news, you see)
I bring you lots of fun
I bring you lots of misery

Buds of Spring

Darling the birds sing me home
They sing to me fire breathing hearts

Fire, fire, fire, burn
Fire, fire, fire

Holding the torch
Buds bloom in spring
We suffer no more for all it's worth and brings

Fire, fire, fire, burn
Fire, fire, fire

Where the buds bloom in spring
Buds bloom in spring
Birds bloom in spring

Fire, fire, fire, burn
Fire, fire, fire

Chic Chic Chic

(Birthday Songs EP)

Aoifs, my danish pastry
I feel you Johanna, my Anna Karenina, my little burgerkinga
Look at you sitting there making a dent in my couch inbetween your traveling
With your sausage in your batch, you're doing some research for your literary adventures

Her chic chic chic
Chic chic chic
Chamomile streaks

Her chic chic chic
Chic chic chic
Chamomile streaks

I need to get you drinking, so we can hear you singing "Nothing compares to you"
Incredibly dramatic, an absolute romantic in all your languages
She's pottering about the top of her game
She's taking on the world all its pointless fame

Her chic chic chic
Chic chic chic
Chamomile streaks

Her chic chic chic
Chic chic chic
Chamomile streaks

I'll never cut you hair again
And nothing will compare again
To you and to Smiggy, looking like a pixie being oh so witty
We all know she's not as sweet as as she seems, but she's queen equality

Her chic chic chic
Chic chic chic
Chamomile streaks...

Chinese Fried Rice (Lydia)

(Birthday Songs EP)

Silky sweet sour stewed-plum
Fireworks and apple cinnamon
The crispy cold air, the fire in your hair
Your drawings and the king of oyster

Lydia, Lydia, Lydia
Lydia, Lydia, Lydia
Lydia, Lydia, Lydia
You're just so full of surprises

Cherries and peaches, no gluten
So long as we don't talk about Putin
The little bets we make
The spongey cakes you bake
So long as you don't cook me steak

Lydia, Lydia, Lydia
Lydia, Lydia, Lydia
Lydia, Lydia, Lydia
You're just so full of surprises

Chinese fried rice
We're picking out lice
You're walking me from school
You're so style and so cool

Lydia, Lydia, Lydia
Lydia, Lydia, Lydia
Lydia, Lydia, Lydia
You're just so full of surprises

Christmas time is here

Christmas time is here
A Christmas cover by Nina and Fabien

Christmas time is here
Happiness and cheer
Fun for all that children call
Their favorite time of the year

Snowflakes in the air
Carols everywhere
Olden times and ancient rhymes
Of love and dreams to share

Sleigh bells in the air
Beauty everywhere
Yuletide by the fireside
And joyful memories there

Christmas time is here
We'll be drawing near
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year
Oh, that we could always see
Such spirit through the year...

Coronation Street

(Michael Knight & Nina Hynes / I'm Not Entirely Clear How I Ended Up Like This LP)

Lads, I'd better be off now
Sounds like she needs calming again
He's out, why is he late again

I can tell her we talked about her
Though it wasn't quite the way that she'll think
He said he told all his friends about me

You know (I know) there's no other
Who'll keep believing such bad lies
We'll be together forever
At this rate we will
If soon she won't put out

I suppose I'll soon tire of her charms
Unless first she grows tired of me
Our love will shine eternally

Though I guess there're her gossip mags
And her beloved TV
It's time for Coronation Street

You know (I know) there's no other
Who'll keep believing such bad lies
We'll be together forever
At this rate we will
If soon she won't put out

Her skin gives me pleasure
I'll ditch her at my leisure
But I'll be polite when I tell her
"My sweet, meet my new lover"

Fastened To The Rock

(Sanctuary EP)

Where do we go fallen by the side
The sea inside
Fastened to the rock
How can we know
We've fallen off the edge
The universe
The universe

Reach out
But we can't touch the stars
Over the hill
Over the hill
Still as a rock
I'm not going anywhere
Still as a rock
Over the hill
I'm not going anywhere
Over the hill
Still as a rock
The universe
The universe

First Of May

(Sanctuary EP)

Remember the moment you double locked your door
Called in to your house
You're gone
Nobody really knew when it was too late
Somebody got old, so young

Whatever happened to the beauty
Whatever happened to the first of May
Whatever happened to the future
Whatever happened to the day, day, day, day

Something not quite right
Sleeping afternoon
Nobody said much too soon
I saw the season, you turning off the light
Didn't have a bone to fight

Whatever happened to the beauty
Whatever happened to the "I can do"
Whatever happened to the future
Whatever happened to you, you, you, you

Four in the morning, milk coffee on the couch
MTV, no sound
Bottles in your pillow
In the wardrobe, too
I never said that I found

Whatever happened to the beauty
Whatever happened to the first of May
Whatever happened to the future
Whatever happened to the day, day, day, day

Whatever happened to the beauty
Whatever happened to the "I can do"
Whatever happened to the future
Whatever happened to you, you, you, you

Funnier Than You (Eilo)

(Birthday Songs EP)

Eilo rides her bike 'round Berlin
Perfect nails
Born to dance in Summer skin
Wild as sin, understand

She sings so sad
She likes it with the lights all on
She's so bad
She feels it with her Latin, Latin, Latin heart
Eilo

Eilo knows her pop and her hip hop
Cool as fuck
Born to sing and do her thing
She's all bling bling, understand

She sings so sad
She likes it with the lights all on
She's so bad
She feels it with her Latin, Latin, Latin heart
Eilo

Eilo, she's funnier than you
She's funnier than me
She's telling you the truth
She's one of the girls who gets the shit done on the bus for everyone

She sings so sad
She likes it with the lights all on
She's so bad
She feels it with her Latin, Latin, Latin heart
Eilo

Fuse

(Raging Fire EP)

I'm not looking out of focus
I see locusts for a heart
You might rue the day you took me under your wing
Back at the start

I've nothing to lose
With my short fuse
I save for you
I look to the sun
You'll be the one
For my loaded gun

I'm correcting all emotion
A conscious potion for the heart
There's no bee now that can sting me
I can bring me back to the start

I had to move on
And let bygone
Just be bygone
I'm out for the kill
I've got the will
Will to fulfill

By the time that you come for me, I'm golden sun
By the time that they look for me, I'm golden sun

Hummingbird

I see birds everywhere
Red throated
They're following me
I see lights in the sky
Explosions
They're following me

I'm a humming bird, humming bird
I'm a humming bird, humming bird

See the earth seems to bleed
Red, green and brown
Red, green and brown
Red, green and brown
Red, green and brown

And I'm doing my best
To stay on the ground
Stay on the ground
Stay on the ground
Stay on the ground

I'm a humming bird, humming bird
Humming bird, humming bird...

And I'm doing my best...

I'm Not Entirely Clear How I Ended Up Like This

(Michael Knight & Nina Hynes / I'm Not Entirely Clear How I Ended Up Like This LP)

Now I've got the mortgage sorted
And a job that pays well
Found someone who loves me I guess soon we'll wed

Victory is mine
Victory is mine
Victory is mine
Victory is mine

Oh a week's sun in Las Palmas
That would be a nice break
Or we could save up for a conservatory

Victory is mine
Victory is mine
Victory is mine
Victory is mine

Victory is
Mine
Victory is
Mine

In a Million

See with our hearts and with our minds
One in a Crowd, one in a million
Deep in a rock within our heart
Down in the ground I see the stars

This is the time
This is the time to make amends
This is the time
This is the time
This is the time to live

Dance, give your heart unto the song
Dance 'til your hearts no longer aching
Dance 'till you glow and glow with joy
Dance 'till you feel that you're not faking

This is the time
This is the time to make amends
This is the time
This is the time
This is the time to live

Jesus

( Unreleased song from myspace )

Jesus, can you give me back my soul
He took it left
An aching, gaping, endless, restless hole
And a hunger
Bigger than the hope that used to grow
And I wonder

Jesus, can you take away the pain
Jesus, can you take the pain away
Or take me now
He took me out
And all that's left is a shell
A broken deep hollow sound

Jesus, can you send him back my way
I promise I'll be good this time
I promise I will stay behind the line
He draws for me a promise I must ???
But now I pray

Jesus, can you take away the pain
Jesus, can you take the pain away
Or take me now
He took me out
And all that's left is a shell
A broken deep hollow sound

Jesus, can you give me back my day
Jesus, can you tell me why I break and fall
Jesus, can you hold me through it all
Help me to forget the river where we met

Jesus, can you take me by the hand
When he can't
Jesus, can you kiss me on the mouth
Take the poison out
Help me to forget the river where we met
The river where we met

Or take me now
He took me out
And all that's left is a shell
A broken deep hollow sound

Take me now
He took me out
And all that's left is a shell
A broken deep hollow sound

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

Laterna

Light, light, light
Light up our lantern
Keep us through the dark night
Moon and stars shine bright
With our light

Bright, bright, bright
Oh shine our lanterns
Keep us warm though cold night
Sing our voices bright with our light

Light, light, light
Light up our lantern
Keep us through the dark night
Moon and stars shine bright
With our light

Bright, bright, bright
Oh shine our lanterns
Keep us warm though cold night
Sing our voices bright with our light

Lulu Mae

Lulu Mae
Do you remember
Under docks (?)
???
I will live sinking
All the way down through
The ship sinking

Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there

Do you believe of bricks and hammers
A starting point of stumbles and stammers
I think I hear your voice
Is it you coming
All the way down through
A sign folding

Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there
Is there anybody out there

Meander In to Christmas

(One Little Rabbit / Meander In To Christmas EP)

Jingle bells are in the air
The stars, the stars, the stars

Merry Little Christmas (B Movie Version)

(Flutter And Wow Digital EP)

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Let your heart be light
Next year all our troubles will be out of sight

Have yourself a Merry little Christmas
Make the Yuletide gay
Next year all our troubles will be miles away

Once again as in olden days
Happy golden days of yore
Faithful friends who were dear to us
Will be near to us once more

Someday soon we all will get together
If the Fates allow
Until then, we'll have to muddle through somehow
So have yourself a Merry little Christmas now

*** Thanx a lot to Jose for this one ***

Mmmh

( Nina Hynes on Hector Zazou - Strong currents LP - 2004 )

I can imagine
Lying beside you
I can feel your
hair on my cheek

Can you feel
The love between us
Can you feel

I'm not worried
If I never see you again
But the thing is
No matter how far we are appart
No matter how far
We're linked through space and time
And you're in my memory
And I'm part of your history

Mmmh

Can you feel the love between us
Can you feel

Mmmh

There's no pint
In burning bridges
But if it feels
Your bridge is burnt and gone
And the ashes are blowing away
If it feels you're going astray
There's always a river
Underneath
There's always a river
Flowing in
To a deeper ocean

Mmmh
Mmmh

Never Over

(Unreleased song)

When the day is over
Our time is through
I'll stay ???
Through the wind
I'll be with you

In the flame of the fire
In the gray of the sky
In the voice of a singer
You'll feel it we'll never die

Our love is never over
It's never over
It's never over

When the last word is spoken
When your lungs can't breathe
When your heart is truly broken
The winter leave, just bleeds

It's in the flame of the fire
In the gold of the sun
In the voice of a singer
You'll feel it we will be one

Our love is never over
It's never over
It's never over

Our love is never over
It's never over
It's never over

Open The Seal

(Sanctuary EP)

I was seeing colours from the wild side
Oh by the sun I wade
Watching television for my lifeline
Operas of the soap to wash away

God speed
Why so to seize
The savior hear my pleas

I was always hunting on the sidelines
Looking for emotion and change
I was always willing to be slavery
For broken men abused me to cut their chord, they used me

God speed
Why so heart bleed
If the saviour can see

The slowest suicide in history
Gained solace from the secrets of shame in pillow cases
I, they said, was swapped just after birthing
To carry out the days in soft foundation stains

God speed
Why so the wait
The saviour never came

And from the light comes blankets of seeds
For future cover and hearts that bleed
Open the seal
Open the seal
Open the seal

Open the seal
Open the seal
Open the seal

Open the seal
Open the seal
Open the seal

God speed
Why so to seize
The saviour hear my pleas

Raging Fire

(Raging Fire EP)

Tried to control every raging fire
I could control every man in my empire
Moving the mountains was easy next to you
I'm holding on for the light to come through

This is your life
This is it all
This is your shame you can take it and fall
This is a breeze
This is a mire
This is your chance for holding the fire

Tried to control every raging fire
Only the strong see the truth in the liar
I can be strong if you stand next to me
I can be strong if you love me as weak

This is your life
This is it all
This is your shame you can take it and fall
This is a breeze
This is a mire
This is your chance for holding the fire
Rise

I see a fire fighter
I see a line divided
I see a blind eye
I see the fear in you

I see the morning light
Become the hunger strike
I see the walls tumble
I see the hate in you

I see the ball roll
I see you lose control
I see you never had it
I see the love in you

I see a long life
I see a hunger, strife
I see the glory, too
I see me in you

I see a better life
I see a better life
I see a better life
I see a better life
Rise
I see a better life

Saint Of Paint (Dee)

(Birthday Songs EP)

Dee
That rhymes with gee
That rhymes with red tent
It's no accident

The kids that you teach all though your life
Out in the world
They'll be inspired by the things you say and do

You stay up all night with the shamen
Get up at five a.m., do your praying
Opa loves you

Dee
You're such a cunt
You like it blunt
You won't mind me saying it

You're looking at me like I'm your tribe
Bringing me crisps like it's a bribe
You know it's where our weakness lies
You're giving up cheese, giving up dairy, giving up gluten
Not the Virgin Mary though
You love her so

Dee
You're such a ride
My hands are tied
'Cause you're Richie's bride

We're pees in a pod
And you deserve the best in life
You little perv
You little saint
Saint of Paint

Seize

(Sanctuary EP)

The day began the morning sun
In certain lights you were the one
I saw you in the chosen few, something to believe
The world began the break of day
The signal came from light to grey
I could not see the wings of doves
Blinded by the mist

Seize and stars fall through the sky
Seize when the stars fall through the sky
Seize, seize, seize, seize

The diving bell
The butterfly
The darkening of little lies
The hostages of no surprise
All those missing lives
The moment when we cut away
From everything that we could say
And see it all just as it is
Valley of the years

Seize and the stars fall through the sky
Seize and the stars fall through the sky
Seize, seize, seize, seize

Seize, seize
Seize, seize
Seize
Seize, seize
Seize
Seize, seize
Seize, seize
Seize

Sewing Machine

I've got a sewing machine in my brain
Working on old tapestries patching up so neatly

I've got a fallen tree in my heart
Picking up the wood for fire
Finding where to put desire

To dream of a life was meant to be
To dream of a life was meant for me

I've got a tape recorder in my mind
Taping up those broken dreams recording over ripped up seams

I have a carnival in my soul
Slowly slowly moving conjuring that magic sound

I need to dream of a life was meant for me
Somewhere out there
Somewhere out there

I've got a sewing machine
Working on old tapestries patching up so neatly

Toxic Line

(Sanctuary EP)

Staring from the toxic hole in my heart
Something is pulling me under
From the moment I discovered that poison inside
I needed to run to stay alive

My poison feeds your poison
We don't help each other out
Sky falls down on wasted land

See red
Heart falls out
Heart of gold
Growing older
Live a life to die
To break the toxic line
Break the toxic line

Some wheel universal
Turns its spokes from inside
Something is telling me I could
Could do better than finger pointing
All to dead ends
And nothing is broken if it's living

My poison feeds your poison
We don't help each other out
Sky falls down on wasted land

See red
Heart falls out
Heart of gold
Growing older
Live a life to die
To break the toxic line
Break the toxic line

The catching of a morning light
All too bright

Heart of gold
Growing older
Live a life to die
To break the toxic line
Break the toxic line

Under Ether

(Raging Fire EP)

Spoken in hindsight, it always seems clear
How do we let ourselves fall under ether
Out of the frying pan and in to the fire
You took the wind out of my sails

Something subconscious that was more of a fighter
Took out my bow and my arrows I fired
In to the heart to the essence of love
You were the wind in my sails to sail away

Under my wing

( Nina Hynes on Hector Zazou - Strong currents LP - 2004 )

Chocolate kings lie under my feet
Waiting to be
Devoured by me
Devoured by me

You promised me delivery
You're just using me
Here's a knife
Go on make me bleed
Go on make me bleed

Under my wing
Under my wing
Ladders in your tights
Strange faces in the night
On the street
No one knows you.
You can be anyone
Just chose

Oh my sweet
Come here my darling.
Must be cold where you're coming from
'Cause your clothes are wrapped so tightly,
Makes me want to tear them from you
No camouflage, bare the big blue
I'll caress your ear
Run my fingers through your hair
Like your mother would
Like your mother would

Oh my sweet
Come here my darling
Let me caress your ear
If you play dead
Maybe then
You won't have to feel, have to feel.

Oh my sweet
Come here my darling
I'll take you in
I'll mind you under my wing
Under my wing, under my wing
Under my wing, under my wing

Unfuck The World

We run in circles around ourselves for years, we do
I waited my whole life for someone to come to carry me through

Nobody's gonna come
Nobody's gonna come
To save

Let's unfuck the world
Let's unfuck the world
Set allight
Unfurl

The nature of humans, the give and take, the fear of lack
Everything's crucial at this stage, it's time, give back

Nobody's gonna come
Nobody's gonna come
To save

Let's unfuck the world
Let's unfuck the world
Set allight
Unfurl

Oh let's navigate to a brighter place

Let's unfuck the world
Let's unfuck the world
Let's unfuck the world
Let's unfuck the world
Let's unfuck the world

Let's unfuck the world
Let's unfuck the world
Set allight
Unfurl

Let's unfuck the world
Let's unfuck the world
Set allight

Let's unfuck the world
Let's unfuck the world

Where Is The Baby

(Christmas song)

Where is the baby, Jesus boy
Where is the baby, Jesus boy
We are the wise kings
We've come from afar
Where is the baby, Jesus boy

We've come to worship, Jesus boy
We've come to worship, Jesus boy
We are the wise kings
We've come from afar
Where is the baby, Jesus boy

Where oh where
Where is the boy
Where oh where

Where, where oh where is the baby
Where, where oh where
Baby boy

Wild Mountain Thyme

Oh the summer time has come
And the trees are sweetly blooming
And the wild mountain thyme
Grows around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie go

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie go

I will build my love a tower
Near your pure crystal fountain and on it
I will grow all the wild flowers of the mountain
Will ye go lassie

If my true love she were gone
I will surely find another
Where the wild mountain thyme grows
Around the blooming heather
Will you go lassie go

And we'll all go together
To pluck wild mountain thyme
All around the blooming heather
Will ye go lassie go

Winter Wonderland

(One Little Rabbit Cat / Meander In To Christmas EP)

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
He sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend he is Parson Brown
He'll say, "Are you married?"
We'll say, "No, man"
But you can do the job
When you're in town

Later on
We'll conspire
As we dream by the fire
To face unafraid
The plans that we've made
Walking in a winter wonderland

Sleigh bells ring
Are you listening
In the lane
Snow is glistening
A beautiful sight
We're happy tonight
Walking in a winter wonderland

Gone away is the blue bird
Here to stay is a new bird
But she sings a love song
As we go along
Walking in a winter wonderland

In the meadow we can build a snowman
And pretend that he's a circus clown
We'll have lots of fun with mister snowman
Until the other children knock him down

When it snows
Ain't it thrilling
Though your nose gets a chilling
We'll frolic and play
The eskimo way
Walking in a winter wonderland
Walking in a winter wonderland

Jingle bells, jingle bells, jingle all the way
Oh what fun it is to ride in a one horse open sleigh
