(by Official Press)
Absolutely
brilliant debut release from young Norwegian duo consisting of Susanna Wallumrød
(vocals) and Morten Qvenild (keyboards). Nine beautiful low key original songs
plus highly personal interpretations of Dolly Parton«s "Jolene" and Leonard
Bernstein«s "Who Am I" makes this one of the strongest Norwegian debut releases
in a very long time. If you've heard "Believer" (also included here) from "Money
Will Ruin Everything" you know what to expect. Produced by Andreas Mjøs (Jaga
Jazzist) and Deathprod.
Albums don't come
much more beautiful than List of Lights and Buoys. Susanna is singer Susanna
Karolina Wallumrød, age 23 at the time of this debut CD. The Magical Orchestra
is actually Jaga Jazzist keyboardist Morten Qvenild. And the music doesn't sound
orchestral at all. Co-producer Andreas Mjøs (also of Jaga Jazzist) adds some
vibes, timpani, guitar, and electronics. Helge Sten (aka Deathprod and a quarter
of the group Supersilent) is the other co-producer; he took care of mixing and
mastering duties — one also suspects he tweaked a few electronic textures
himself. But despite a certain variety in the instrumentation and an
indisputable audacity in the textural dress-up, List of Lights and Buoys relies
solely on the strong songwriting team of Wallumrød and Qvenild, and on Susanna's
irresistibly moving, seductive torch singer of a voice. With a desire to nail
the listener to his or her chair right from the start, the album opens with two
highly personal interpretations. Leonard Bernstein's "Who Am I" is born out of
and sent back to an electronic fog through which Susanna's voice appears like a
divine lighthouse. Dolly Parton's "Jolene" provides the album's highlight, a
showcase for Susanna's genuine torch singing and Qvenild's sensitive, minimal
arrangements. The duo's songwriting is then allowed to shine, especially in
"Friend," "Distance Blues and Theory," and the gripping "Believer"; the latter
was also released on the Rune Grammofon two-CD (plus book) compilation Money
Will Ruin Everything. These songs are strong examples of timeless songwriting —
the electronic vestments give them a certain edge, but don't distract from their
true qualities. A must-have and one of the most promising debut albums of the
year.

List of Lights and Buoys
*** Thanx a lot to
Tony for all these lyrics ***
Who Am I
(Words written by Leonard
Bernstein)
Who am I
Was it all planned in advance
Or was I just born by chance in July
Who on earth am I
My friends only think of fun
They're such a curious lot
Must I be the only one
Who thinks these mysterious thoughts
Some day I'll die
Will I ever live again
As a mountain lion
Or a rooster or a hen
Or a robin, or a wren, or a fly
Oh, who am I
Do you believe in reincarnation
Do you believe in reincarnation
Were you ever here before
Have you ever had dreams
That you knew were true
Some time before in your life
Have you ever had that experience
So you must question
All the truths that you know
All the love and the lifes
That you know and say
Who am I
Will I ever live again
As a mountain lion
Or a rooster or a hen
Or a robin, or a wren, or a fly
Oh, who am I
Jolene
(Words written by Dolly Parton)
Your beauty is beyond compare
With flaming locks of auburn hair
With ivory skin and eyes of emerald green
Your smile is like a breath of spring
Your voice is soft like summer rain
And I cannot compete with you, Jolene
He talks about you in his sleep and
There's nothing I can do to keep
From crying when he calls your name, Jolene
And I can easily understand
How you could easily take my man
But you don't know what he means to me, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you
Please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
You could have your choice of men
But I could never love again
He's the only one for me, Jolene
I had to have this talk with you
My happiness depends on you
And whatever you decide to do, Jolene
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
I'm begging of you
Please don't take my man
Jolene, Jolene, Jolene, Jolene
Please don't take him just because you can
Turn the pages
Aching joy
Breaking fever
Run through my head tonight
Got a boy he's a true believer
Ask him to be in sight
Where are all these people coming from
Where do all these accidents belong
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Sometimes I have got some days of travelling around
Sometimes I have got these days of travelling far behind
Where are all these people coming from
Where do all these accidents belong
Why is all this happening to me
Is this joy as good as it can be
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Know the book
Know the story
Felt this joy
Felt that glory
Saw myself like no other man
Can I turn the pages like the old man can
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
I don't know
Friend
My good friend tells me to be wise
I say why bother, you know
I cannot find what's wrong or right
To me they're all in disguise
And their disguises look so good
I cannot find what's true or false
That makes no difference to my friend
He will stand by me, and this he tells me
This life is just for living
I can't tell you what it'll bring
There are good times, there are hard times
There are reasons why we cling to what we want to be
What we want to see
My good friend tells me to be smart
I say why bother, you know
I cannot find what's mind or heart
To me they kind of look the same
And when he shows me all the lies
I tell him to go to the devil
That makes no difference to my friend
He will stand by me, and this he tells me
"This life is just for living
I can't tell you what it'll bring
There are good times, there are hard times
There are reasons why we cling to what we want to be
What we want to see
But when he's gone
Who's to hold me
Who's to call me
Who's to make me rise again
Make me smile and then
Who's to tell me
This life is just for living
I can't tell you what it'll bring
There are good times, there are hard times
There are reasons why we cling to what we want to be
And what we want to see
Hello
Who are you to
This very special way
Listen
Goodbye
Hello
Hello at my doorstep
Hello in my street
Hello at my doorstep
Hello in my street
Who are you to touch me in this very special way
Who are you to comfort me and then you walk away
Who are you to listen to my stories of goodbye
Turning up the next day to say
Hello
Hello at my doorstep
Hello in my street
Hello at my doorstep
Hello in my street
Who are you to step on me this very special way
Who are you to feed me and then you run away
Who are you to touch me touch me
Who are you to sing my song of happiness and joy
Who are you to sing my song of happiness and joy
Turning up the next day to say that I'm your
Hello
Hello at my doorstep
Hello in my street
Hello at my doorstep
Hello in my street
Believer
Didn't think you would trust me
Thought you would see what I see
These days have been good for me too
But I can't stay
You know why
Didn't want this to end like this
Thought I might could convert
These nights have been sad for me too
But I don't pray
You know why
You are a believer
I am not
You are a believer
I am not
You are a believer
I am not
You are a believer
I am not
Didn't think I could ever love
So I had to destroy it all
But you will do find someone new
When I am gone
You know why
You are a believer
I am not
You are a believer
I am not
You are a believer
I am not
You are a believer
I am not
Sweet devil
Sweet devil lives across the street
He waves at me in daytime
Sweet devil lives across the street
He waves at me in daytime
From behind the curtains
At nighttime he comes out
To seduce me in the dark
Playing his guitar
Dancing with the stars
Makes me fall in love again
But look who's gone
In the morning
Baby
Only one moment lost in thought
Sets me back to see where i've been going
Only one hour of you and me
Carries my mind to brand new places
Seldom seen before
Where's that baby now
Stayed with us for an hour or so
Where did that baby go
Only a couple of lives to change
Just a new thought to point out new directions
Only one hour of you and me
Let's my mind find that sorrow
Seldom seen before
Where's that baby now
Stayed with us for an hour or so
Where did that baby go
All these hours lost in thought
You wil follow and point out places
Seldom seen before
Where's that baby now
Stayed with us for an hour or so
Where did that baby go
Time
When future is present
And past is gone
Now is shallow
Nothing is big
So that I can't see
When past is present
And future goes
Now is foggy
And past is pink
So that I look back
Now is future
And past is gone
Now is nothing
Future is great
So that I can't see
Will I see even if the days are getting short
Will I see even if the days are getting shorter
Will I see
When future is now
And past is past
Nothing is shadow or fog or nothing
So that I see everything
Will I see even if the days are getting short
Will I see even if the days are getting shorter
Will I see
Distance blues and theory
(Words written by Dorothy
Parker)
Where you to cross the world my dear
To work or love or fight
I could be calm and wistful here
And close my eyes at night
It were a sweet and gallant pain
To be a sea apart
But oh, to have you down the lane
Is bitter to my heart
Into love, and out again
Thus I went, and thus I go
Spare your voice, and hold your pen
Well and bitterly I know
All the songs were ever sung
All the words were ever said
Could it be, when I was young
Some one dropped me on my head
Go
Going for laughter
Go on slow
Go any faster
Will you stay
Or will you explode
Going for answers
Go on slow
Go any faster
You won't know
Melody mountain
Hallelujah
( Leonard Cohen Cover )
Well I've heard there was a secret
chord
That David played, and it pleased the Lord
But you don't really care for music, do you?
It goes like this
The fourth, the fifth
The minor fall, the major lift
The baffled king composing Hallelujah
Your faith was strong but you needed proof
You saw her bathing on the roof
Her beauty and the moonlight overthrew her
She tied you to a kitchen chair
She broke your throne, and she cut your hair
And from your lips she drew the Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
You say I took the name in vain
Well I don't even know the name
But if I did, well really, what's it to you
There's a blaze of light in every word
It doesn't matter which you heard
The holy or the broken Hallelujah
I did my best, it wasn't much
I couldn't feel, so I tried to touch
I've told the truth
I didn't come to fool you
And even though
It all went wrong
I'll stand before the Lord of Song
With nothing on my tongue but Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
It's
A Long Way To The Top
( AC/DC Cover )
Riding down the highway
Going to a show
Stop in all the byways
Playing Rock 'N' Roll
Getting robbed
Getting stoned
Getting beat up
Broken boned
Getting had
Getting took
I tell you folks
It's harder than it looks
It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock 'N' Roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock 'N' Roll
If you think it's easy
Doing one night stands
Try playing in a Rock 'N' Roll band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock 'N' Roll
Hotel motel
Make you wanna cry
Lady do the hard sell
Know the reason why
Getting old
Getting grey
Getting ripped off
Under-paid
Getting sold
Second hand
That's how it goes
Playing in a band
It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock 'N' Roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock 'N' Roll
If you wanna be a star of stage and screen
Look out it's rough and mean
It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock 'N' Roll
It's a long way to the top if you wanna Rock 'N' Roll
These days
( Matt Burt Cover )
This life, just another tuning
And our hopes in a basket gone ballooning
As we stand and wait for them to land
In the morning and in the evening
Now I'm coming and now I'm leaving
Can you tell me which way did I go
In the morning and in the evening
Now I'm coming and now I'm leaving
Can you tell me which way did I go
What's sweet and what‘s a flower
Who will bear fruit in the final hour
Oh, these days
*** Thanx a lot to
Clea for this one ***
Condition Of The Heart
( Prince Cover )
There was a girl in Paris
Whom he sent a letter to
Hoping she would answer back
Now wasn't that a fool
Hardy notion on the part of
Sometimes lonely musician
Acting out a whim is only good
For a condition of the heart
There was a dame from London
Who insisted that he love her
Then left him for a real prince from Arabia
Now isn't that a shame that sometimes money
Buys you everything and nothing
Love, it only seems to buy
A terminal condition of the heart
Oh thinking about you driving me
crazy
Oh my friends all say it's just a phase
But oh every day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
There was a woman from the ghetto
Who made funny faces just like Clara Bow
Now was I to know that she would wear
The same Cologne as you
And giggle the same giggle that you do
Whenever I would act a fool
The fool with a condition of the heart
Oh thinking about you driving me
crazy
Oh my friends all say it's just a phase
But oh every single day is a yellow day
I'm blinded by the daisies in your yard
Love will tear us apart
( Joy Division Cover )
When routine bites hard
And ambitions are low
And resentment rides high
But emotions won't grow
And we're changing our ways
Taking different roads
Then love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Why is the bedroom so cold
Turned away on your side
Is my timing that flawed
Our respect run so dry
Yet there's still this appeal
That we've kept through our lives
And love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Do you cry out in your sleep
All my failings expose
Get a taste in my mouth
As desperation takes hold
Is it something so good
Just can't function no more
When love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Love, love will tear us apart again
Crazy, crazy night
( Kiss Cover )
People try to take my soul away
But I don't hear the rap that they all say
They try to tell us we don't belong
That's alright, we're millions strong
This is my music, it makes me proud
These are my people and this is my crowd
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
Sometimes days are so hard to survive
A million ways to bury you alive
The sun goes down like a bad bad dream
You're wound up tight, gotta let off steam
They say they can break you again and again
If life is a radio, turn up to ten
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
These are crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy nights
Don't Think Twice, It's All Right
( Bob Dylan Cover )
It ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
If you don't know by now
And it ain't no use to sit and wonder why, babe
It'll never do somehow
When your rooster crows at the break of dawn
Look out your window and I'll be gone
You're the reason I'm travelling on
Don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
That light I never knowed
And it ain't no use in turning on your light, babe
I'm on the dark side of the road
I wish there was something you would do or say
To try and make me change my mind and stay
We never did too much talking anyway
So don't think twice, it's all right
It ain't no use in calling up my name, boy
Like you never done before
It ain't no use in calling up my name, boy
I can't hear you anymore
I'm thinking and I'm wondering walking down the road
I once loved a man, a child I'm told
I give him my heart but he wanted my soul
Don't think twice, it's all right
So long, honey babe
Where I'm bound, I can't tell
But goodbye's too good a word, babe
So I'll just say fare thee well
I ain't saying you treated me unkind
You could have done better but I don't mind
You just kinda wasted my precious time
But don't think twice, it's all right
It's
raining today
( Walker Scott Cover )
It's raining today
And I'm just about to forget
The train window girl
That wonderful day we met
She smiles through the smoke from my cigarette
It's raining today
But once there was summer and you
And dark little rooms
And sleep in late afternoons
Those moments descend on my windowpane
I've hung around too long
Listening to the old landlady's hard-luck stories
You out of me me out of you
We go like lovers
To replace the empty space
Repeat our dreams to someone new
It's raining today
And I watch the cellophane streets
No hang-ups for me
'Cause hang-ups need company
The street corner girl's a cold trembling leaf
It's raining today
It's raining today
Enjoy the
Silence
( Depeche Mode Cover )
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 boy
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
Fotheringay
( Sandy Denny Cover )
How often she has gazed
From castle windows o'er
And watched the daylight passing
Within her captive wall
With no-one to heed her call
The evening hour is fading
Within the dwindling sun
And in a lonely moment
Those embers will be gone
And the last of all the young birds flown
Her days of precious freedom
Forfeited long before
To live such fruitless years
Behind a guarded door
But those days will last no more
Tomorrow at this hour she will be far away
Much farther than these islands
Or the lonely Fotheringay
Sonata Mix Dwarf Cosmos
Intruder
Soft, immense
And warm intruder
Welcome to our universe
Welcome to the planet earth
We will guide you, carefully
Supply you
Till you return to outer space
Soft, immense
And warm intruder
Welcome to the planet earth
Welcome to our universe
We will protect you, carefully
Correct you
Till you return to outer space
This feels like something impossible
Like I cannot I cannot I cannot
Still I'll try
Soft, immense
And warm intruder
Born in
the desert
Hold your horses
Have you gone mad
Or are you just feeling
Sad
Hold your horses
Have you lost it
Or do you just wanna quit
She was born in the desert
She has never seen the sea
She wants to get up and leave now
But she is not free
As you and me
Hold your horses
Have you gone mad
Or are you just feeling
Sad
Hold your horses
Have you lost it
Or do you just wanna
Quit
She is raising a family
They have never seen the sea
They want to get up & leave now
But they are not free
As you and me
Hangout
Hangout here with me a little longer
Hang in there hang out here
With me a little longer
Hang in there hang out here
And when you are not here
I wish you were here
I wish you were near
Breathing the same air
Hangout here with me a little longer
You could be wiser, younger, older
Hang out here with me a little longer
Could be more truthful or stronger
And when you are not here
I wish you were here
I wish you were near
Breathing the same air
So you showed me the blackbirds
And you played me a song
You made me go on
Hangout here with me a little longer
Why can't you why can't you
Hang out here with me a little longer
Can't you see can't you see
That when you're not here
I wish you were here
I wish you where near
Breathing the same air
So you showed me the blackbirds
And you played me a song
You made me go on
People
living
Who is God and where is God and what is he
Doing for you
Is it easy to pretend
Is it hard to look back at you
What is real and what is good for all of us
How can it be
That your convictions are gonna be valid
To me
How can it be
People living on the outside
Living on the wrong side
Living on the outside
Living on the wrong side
What is true and who is true and where is
The truth now for you
Is it hard to confess to yourself
Is it easy to view
Who are wrong in your eyes and what will
Do to satisfy
How can it be that you want us
To simplify
How can it be
People living on the outside
Living on the wrong side
Living on the outside
Living on the wrong side
Stay
Oh, it's hard to feel alive
Living a lie
Hiding inside
Oh, it's hard to be a fool
For the devil in you
Who did me wrong
Have been waiting for a reason to stay
Will it come
Will it come
Today
I'm gonna stay this time
I'm gonna stay this time
I'm gonna stay
Right here, with you
Oh, it's hard to saw a seed
In the frozen soil
And make it grow
Oh, it's hard to turn around
Leave behind
All I've ever known
Have been waiting for a reason to stay
Will it come
Will it come
Today
I'm gonna stay this time
I'm gonna stay this time
I'm gonna stay
Right here, with you
For you
He's playing in a rock'n roll band
And he really knows who I am
All the things I like
And the things I don't
We're both stubborn as hell
Guess I'm the most
Sorry,
For bringing you down
Sorry,
For being a clown
Sometimes I think it's over
Sometimes I think I can't make it up to you no more
But
All my love is for you my dear
All my love is for you my dear
It goes through eternity
It goes through eternity
I used to live a rock'n roll life
Offering free rides in my soul
Rambling, stumbling through people's lives
Through my life
Living like a soldier
Fighting a war
Sorry,
For bringing you down
Sorry,
For being a clown
Sometimes I think it's over
Sometimes I think I can't make it up to you no more
But
All my love is for you my dear
All my love is for you my dear
It goes through eternity
It goes through eternity
Better
days
The lack of moral in this town
Have been tearing me down
So like a dragon in a cave
I am burning my way out of here
Tired of running round and round
Tired of being somewhat bound
Better days are coming
Better days will come
Better days are coming
Better days will come
For sure
The lack of substance in your say
Have been chasing my way
So like a fowl in a cage
I need to find a time for escape
Tired of spinning round and round
Tired of feeling somewhat bound
Better days are coming
Better days will come
Better days are coming
Better days will come
For sure

Take a walk on the wild side
And what do you see
Where are you heading

And all the things you left behind
We are all traveling
But where do we go
Wanna see some answers
Will we ever know
Take a look at your lover
And what do you see
Where are you heading
Are you thinking about me
And all the things you left behind
Take a walk at the inside
And what do you see
Where are you heading
Are you thinking about me
And all the things you left behind
We are all traveling
But where do we go
Wanna see some answers
Will we ever know

Jailbreak
( Thin Lizzy Cover )
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in this town
See me and the boys we don't like it
So we're getting up and going down
Hiding low looking right to left
If you see us coming I think it's best
To move away do you hear what I say
From under my breath
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
Don't you be around
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
Some of us won't survive
See the boys and me we mean business
Busting out dead or alive
I can hear the hound dogs on my trail
All hell breaks loose, alarm and sirens wail
Like the game if you lose
Go to jail
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
Somewhere in the town
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So don't you be around
Tonight there's gonna be trouble
I'm gonna find myself in
Tonight there's gonna be a jailbreak
So woman you stay with a friend
Don't you be around
Don't you be around
Can't
Shake Loose
( Agnetha Faltskog Cover )
I don't want stay here but I can't leave
I'm in the spell of the magic you weave
Somebody wake me up
I wish I could break it up
I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
Any move I'll make in the end I will lose
I can't shake loose
I try and I try but it ain't no use
I could go like I did before
But these old shoes keep walking to your door
I wanna hide but when I hear you call
I turn around, I know I would fall
One step people shake
No matter what move I make
'Cause I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
Any move I'll make in the end I will lose
I can't shake loose
I try and I try but it ain't no use
I could go like I did before
But these old shoes keep walking to your door
I don't wanna stay here,
But you know I can't leave
Please let me go dear
Please let me leave
I can't shake loose, I can't shake loose
I can't shake loose, can't shake loose
Any move I'll make in the end I will lose
I can't shake loose
I try and I try but it ain't no use
I could go like I did before
But these old shoes keep walking
I can't shake loose
I try and try, but it ain't no use
I could go like I did before
But these old shoes keep walking to the door
Who Knows
Where The Time Goes
( Sandy Denny Cover )
Across the purple sky
All the bird are leaving
But how can they know
It's time for them to go
Before the winter's fire
I will still be dreaming
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes
Who knows where the time goes
Sad deserted shore
Your fickle friends are leaving
Ah and yet they know
It's time for them to go
But I will still be here
I have no thought of leaving
I do not count the time
For who knows where the time goes
Who knows where the time goes
And I'm not alone,
While my love is near me
And I know it will be so
Till it's time to go
So come the storms of winter
And then the birds in spring again
I have no fear of time
For who knows where the time goes
Who knows where the time goes
And who knows where the time goes
Who knows where the time goes
Vicious
( Lou Reed Cover )
Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Oh baby, you're so vicious
Vicious
You want me to hit you with a stick
But all I've got's a guitar pick
Oh baby, you're so vicious
When I watch you come
I just want to run far away
You're not the kind of person
Around whom I want to stay
When I see you coming down the street
I step on your hands and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I even wanna meet
Oh baby, you're so vicious
Vicious
You hit me with a flower
You do it every hour
Oh baby, you're so vicious
Vicious
Why don't you swallow razor blades
You must think I'm some kind of gay blade
Baby, you're so vicious
When I watch you coming
I just have to run
You're not good
And you certainly aren't very much fun
When I see you walking down the street
I step on your hand and I mangle your feet
You're not the kind of person that I even wanna meet
'Cause you're so vicious
Vicious, vicious
Oh baby, you're so vicious
Without
You
( Badfinger Cover )
No I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
No I can't forget tomorrow
When I think of all my sorrow
When I had you there
But then I let you go
And now it's only fair
That I should let you know
What you should know
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
Well I can't forget this evening
Or your face as you were leaving
But I guess that's just the way the story goes
You always smile but in your eyes your sorrow shows
Yes it shows
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
I can't live
If living is without you
I can't give
I can't give anymore
Dance On
( Prince Cover )
Grenade launcher roars in a television sky
Tell me how many young brothers must die?
Dance on, dance on
Dance on, dance on
Little talk Johnny blew the big score
The gang nailed his feet to a wooden floor
Nuclear ban never stays in tune
They all know the words but the music is doomed
Dance on, dance on
Dance on, dance on
A bass guitar in spider webs longing for the funk
Uzi gun takes its place in a wagon trunk
Stealing ladies' purses then setting them aflame
M&M killers playing Mickey Mouse games
Dance on, dance on
Dance on, dance on
It's time for new education
Former rules don't apply
We need a power structure that breeds production
Instead of jacks who vandalize
What color is your money today
What color is your money today
What color is your money today
What color is your money today
Joy And
Jubilee
( Bonnie Prince Billy Cover )
There's no reason to be seen
No one knows where I have been
Where I have been
I mean love is what I mean
Joy, joy and jubilee
Joy, joy and jubilee
Joy, joy and jubilee
Joy, joy and jubilee
This is what I want to be
Everything inside of me
Inside of me
Where only shoes should be
Joy, joy and jubilee
Joy, joy and jubilee
Joy, joy and jubilee
Joy, joy and jubilee
Everything
Is on the wing
And every face
Is in a hidden place
Janitor Of
Lunacy
( Nico Cover )
Janitor of lunacy
Paralyze my infancy
Petrify the empty cradle
Bring hope to them and me
Janitor of tyranny
Testify my vanity
Mortalize my memory
Deceive the Devil's deed
Tolerate my jealousy
Recognize the desperate need
Janitor of lunacy
Identify my destiny
Revive the living dream
Forgive their begging scream
Seal the giving of their seed
Disease the breathing grief
Changes
( Black Sabbath Cover )
I feel unhappy
I feel so sad
I've lost the best friend
That I ever had
She was my woman
I loved her so
But it's too late now
I've let her go
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
We shared the years
We shared each day
In love together
We found a way
But soon the world
Had its evil way
My heart was blinded
Love went astray
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
It took so long
To realize
And I can still hear
Her last goodbyes
Now all my days
Are filled with tears
Wish I could go back
And change these years
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
I'm going through changes
Wild Is
The Will
I saw the wind blowing her hair
I felt the mystical sensing the air
I saw the wind blowing her hair
I felt the right like strength of despair
Whispering, whispering
Enchanting, enchanting
Whispering, whispering
Enchanting, enchanting
Wild is the will
Will of the heart
Will of the woman
With the heroic heart
Wild is the will
Will of the heart
Will of the woman
With the heroic heart
I saw the sun shining her hair
I felt the warmth from her skin through the air
I saw the sun shining her hair
I felt the line like strength of despair
If they get their hands on her
They will execute and bury her
If they get their hands on her
They will execute and bury her
Wild is the will
Will of the heart
Will of the woman
With the heroic heart
Wild is the will
Will of the heart
Will of the woman
With the heroic heart
Don't
come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Whatever you're looking for
Don't come around here no more
I've given up
I've given up
I've given up
On waiting any longer
I've given up
On this love getting stronger
I don't feel you anymore
You darken my door
Whatever you're looking for
Don't come around here no more
I've given up
I've given up
I've given up
You tangle my emotions
I've given up
Honey please admit it's over
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Don't come around here no more
Stop walking down my street
Don't come around here no more
Who did you expect to meet
Whatever you're looking for
Don't come around here no more
Goodbye
A hundred billion steps along the road
Lost your balance, lost your feeling of sense
A hundred billion tears you haven't cried
You've been silent, shouting silently
I can see your troubled mind
All your brooding and your heartache
I know it's easy to go blind
But it's only you who can say
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
To what is left inside
Say goodbye
To all your worries from the past
Say goodbye
I can see your troubled mind
Through your lifelight and your lovelight
Are you scared of what you fight
But it's only you who can say
Say goodbye
Say goodbye
To what is left inside
Say goodbye
To all your worries from the past
Say goodbye
Forever
( Roy Harper Cover )
We're just spinning leaves
In the flight of dawn
Little girl
Falling through an eternal horizon of time
But as we lie here
I'd like to think
That all we've got will be ours forever
Don't you think we're forever
Don't you think we're forever
I can hear a voice
On the wings of my dream
Little girl
Melting me into love as it touches my heart
But sheltered in the distance of your sleep
Is all that I could love in a lifetime
Don't you think we're forever
Don't you think we're forever
Open your eyes
To the call of the winds
Little girl
Can't you hear them all saying
I'll always be yours
Lying in the misty morning sun
The pillow of the night still beneath you
Don't you think we're forever
Don't you think we're forever
Don't you think we're forever
Don't you think we're forever
Lay all
your love on me
( Benny Andersson, Björn Ulvaeus / Abba Cover )
I wasn't jealous before we met
Now every woman I see is a potential threat
And I'm possessive, it isn't nice
You've heard me saying that smoking was my only vice
But now it isn't true
Now everything is new
And all I've learned has overturned
I beg of you
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
It was like shooting a sitting duck
A little small talk, a smile and baby I was stuck
I still don't know what you've done with me
A grown-up woman should never fall so easily
I feel a kind of fear
When I don't have you near
Unsatisfied, I skip my pride
I beg you dear
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me
I've had a few little love affairs
They didn't last very long
And they've been pretty scarce
I used to think that was sensible
It makes the truth even more incomprehensible
'Cause everything is new
And everything is you
And all I've learned has overturned
What can I do
Don't go wasting your emotion
Lay all your love on me
Don't go sharing your devotion
Lay all your love on me

*** Thanx a lot to
Jose for this one ***
Recall
Do you remember
When we first held our arms
Tight
Around each other
And we thought we would stay that way
Do you recall
Do you recall
Do you remember
When we chose
To be truthful
To our union
our ode to commitment
Do you recall
Do you recall
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Do you remember
When we first turned against
Ourselves
And each other
Let loose of the separation
Do you recall
Do you recall
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Calling for a rescue squad
Calling for a bed of solution
To get some rest for the un-calm hearts
To lie down in a bed of solution
Calling for a rescue squad
Calling for a bed of solution
To get some rest for the un-calm hearts
To lie down in a bed of solutions
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong
Where did we go wrong

Game
Wondering what I lost
Think about what it did cost
For a lot like me to stay alive
Figure out what I'll need
Don't know how much I must bleed
For everything to be all right
Can we square this with ourselves
Will we find the truth in the same place
Wondering what I became
Life is a silent game
when a lot like me should stay alive
No one controls the heartgame
Maybe we'll like to stay the same for a while
No one owns this wallflower
I just need sensation of OK for a while
No one controls the heartgame
Maybe we'll like to stay the same for a while
No one owns this wallflower
I just need sensation of OK for a while
No one controls the heartgame
Maybe we'll like to stay the same for a while
No one owns this wallflower
I just need sensation of OK for a while
Palpatine's
Dream
Palpatine's dream
in a hiddeous world
Valentine's scream
From a silvery curl
Floating away
On a tray of myself
Doing just fine
I walk the line
Stayin on track
For things never seen
It's like palpatine's dream
It's a heavenly steam
'Cause we're sober and sane
And we're doing alright
When we're facing the pain
Shall we take up the fight
In a colourful world
Where nothing goes wrong
Will we do just what we're told
Are we singing our song
Is everything well
Is everything fine
Are we following tracks
While we're walking the line
Like in palpatine's dream
The darkness gives trust
The trust in a life
Always shouting at us
'Cause we're sober and sane
And we're doing alright
When we're facing the pain
Shall we take up the fight
In a colourful world
Where nothing goes wrong
Will we do just what we're told
Are we singing our song
In a colourful world
Where nothing goes wrong
Will we do just what we're told
Are we singing our song
Another
Day
(Roy Harper cover)
The kettle's on
The sun has gone
Another day
She offers me
Tibetan tea
On a flower tray
She's at the door
She wants to score
She dearly needs to say
I loved you a long time ago, you know
Where the winds own forget-me-nots blow
But I just couldn't let myself go
Not knowing what on earth there was to know
But I wish that I had 'cause I feel you so sad
But I never had one of your children
And across the room
Inside a tomb
A chance is waxed and wanes
The night is young
Why are we so hung up
In each other's chains
I must make her
I must take her
While the dove domains
And feel the juice run as she flies
Run my winds under her sighs
As the flames of eternity rise
To lick us with the first born lash of dawn
Oh really, my dear, I can't see what we fear
Sat here with ourselves in between us
And at the door
We can't say more
Than just another day
And without a sound
I turn around
And I walk away
Deer Eyed
Lady
Deer eyed lady
Can you sleep at night
Is your vanity and sorrow of the bearable kind
Dear young baby
will you come on through
Can you stand straight through all we'll do to you
Deer eyed lady
With wisdom and wits
Is it love, is it meant
Can you go on like this
Will you carry your grief with all your flare
Are we ready to see who's behind, who's there
Fearless sadie
Give it to me
Play me a tune from your place, from your sea
Take care of it all
Keep it up laying low
Make sure you will wear all your smiles when you go
Deep eyed lady
What's your dearest of schemes
Take a look at your glance
It's a drowning dream
Will you fly away, will you keep that grin
Don't ever leave me, stay within
Fearless sadie
Give it to me
Play me a tune from your place, from your sea
Take care of it all
Keep it up laying low
Make sure you will wear all your smiles when you go
Lost
I lost my mother
I lost her at sea
Despite of all the actions in rescuing
I lost my mother
I couldn't see
It was darker than ever
Performing in the darkness
Performing it for me
Performing it when no one else
Is around to see
What can I say
To make it go away
To make you feel more comfortable
To make you feel okay
What can I do
To make it go away
To make you feel more comfortable
To make you feel okay
I lost my brother
I lost him at sea
Despite of all my struggling to keep him
I lost my brother
I didn't see
The adhesive web of inheritance
Performing it for me
Performing it when no one else
Is around to see
What can I say
To make it go away
To make you feel more comfortable
To make you feel okay
What can I do
To make it go away
To make you feel more comfortable
To make you feel okay
Subdivisions
(Rush cover)
Sprawling on the fringes of the city
In geometric order
An insulated border
Inbetween the bright lights
And the far unlit unknown
Growing up it all seems so one-sided
Opinions all provided
The future pre-decided
Detached and subdivided
In the mass production zone
Nowhere is the dreamer
Or the misfit so alone
Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
Drawn like moths we drift into the city
The timeless old attraction
Cruising for the action
Lit up like a firefly
Just to feel the living night
Some will sell their dreams for small desires
Or lose the race to rats
Get caught in ticking traps
And start to dream of somewhere
To relax their restless flight
Somewhere out of a memory
Of lighted streets on quiet nights
Subdivisions
In the high school halls
In the shopping malls
Conform or be cast out
In the basement bars
In the backs of cars
Be cool or be cast out
Any escape might help to smooth
The unattractive truth
But the suburbs have no charms to soothe
The restless dreams of youth
Come On
Love life in a hidden tank
Trying to spot them before they sank
I can be anywhere right now
Doesn't matter where I'm at somehow
Like to swim in a sea of sand
On and off I'm at your command
Love and lust in a giant web
Hope and trust in the life we led
The absurdity of having to go on
Feel strong, dream on, coming from
Feel sad, being bad
To you
Once you come and go and never know, you've failed
When you're up for it, but didn't go, you're tailed
All the talking that we did today
And the consequence you threw my way
Lead life in elastic moves
Sit tight through the spastic grooves
Behind the eyes is a hidden scene
Take time to secure the screen
The absurdity of having to go on
Dream on, last long, going strong
Feel sad, being bad
To you
To you
No, not to you
No, not again
No, not to you
No, not again
Someday
They're coming to get me now
They're coming
Gonna enter a ship today
I'm flying
To other galaxies
I'm going
Take me away from here
I'm longing
I can't stand the things you say
I can't stand the things I do
I can't stand the way we keep
To exploit and dissemble
Just try to remember
Who of us were first
Who of us has the right
To exterminate
I can't wait to move on
To put on
To be gone
To be gone
Someday
I hope we will meet again
When, I don't know
Where, I'm not sure
Someday
I hope we will smile again
When, I don't know
How, I'm not sure
They have been calling on me for a
Long time now
I have been studying the manuals
To their machines
The process of emancipation
Takes form
There is nothing to prevent the forthcoming
Immigration
I can't stand the things you do
I can't stand the things I say
I can't stand the way to keep
Imprisoning to determine the conviction
To strongly resist my loud contradiction
Someday
I hope we will meet again
When, I don't know
Where, I'm not sure
Someday
I hope we will smile again
When, I don't know
How, I'm not sure
Someday
I hope we will meet again
When, I don't know
Where, I'm not sure
Someday
I hope we will smile again
When, I don't know
How, I'm not sure
Wild Dog
Imagine
I can imagine
To seek through a crowd
To find your eyes, your hand, your movements
I can imagine
To feel your look at me
To find my eyes, the way my lips move
It comes alive, it comes alive
It comes alive, it comes alive
It comes alive, it comes alive
I can imagine
To kiss a bird
To send it far away from here
I can imagine
The bird to return
His kiss would make my skin burn
It comes alive, it comes alive
It comes alive, it comes alive
It comes alive, it comes alive
I can imagine
Me whisper in your ear
A sad song would bring out a tear
I can imagine
The jokes you're telling me
My laugh, your smile would make us believe
It comes alive, it comes alive
It comes alive, it comes alive
It comes alive, it comes alive
A bird will redeem
A bird makes us dream
It comes alive, it comes alive
It comes alive, it comes alive
It comes alive, it comes alive
Freeze
Winter, please, come and freeze my heart
Winter, please, come and freeze my heart
Winter, please, come and freeze my heart
Freeze it numb and resistant to you
Ye stole my heart
And went away
Ye stole my heart
Don't know ye anyway
Don't know ye anymore
Anymore, anymore
Anymore, anymore
Summer, don't you go melt my heart
Summer, don't you go melt my heart
Summer, don't you go melt my heart
Made my heart so cold, made it a stone
Ye stole my heart
And went away
Ye stole my heart
Don't know ye anyway
Don't know ye anymore
Anymore, anymore
Anymore, anymore

Let's come back here to fight this
Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won
I went to see how he was doing
After I hit him hard
I went to see if he was praying
To save his wife and child
He was only praying for his own life
And right there before me
He revealed his true self
Rolling on, rolling on
Rolling on, rolling stone
Let's come back here to fight this
Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won
I went to see how she was doing
To see if there's some kind of regret
I went to see the color in her eyes
And right there before me
She revealed her true self
Rolling on, rolling on
Rolling on, rolling stone
Let's come back here to fight this
Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won
I went to see if I could show them
To see if they would understand
I went to see if he was ready
And right there before
His soul resounded in mine
Rolling on, rolling on
Rolling on, rolling stone
Let's come back here to fight this
Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won
Let's come back here to fight this
Let's come back here to see if this battle can be won
Oh, I Am Stuck
Oh I am stuck in the mud
Stuck in the field
There's no field of gold
Only the old field of mud
There's no field of gold
Nowhere to be found
Oh I am stuck in the dirt
Stuck in a mine
There's no silver mine
Only the old coal mine
There's no silver mine
Nowhere to be found
Oh I've got sand in my eyes
I've got sand in my lounges
There's no waterhole
Nothing but the old desert
There's no waterhole
Nowhere to be found
Oh I've got chains on my feet
Chains on my hands
There's no liberty
Nothing but the old jail I know
There's no liberty
Nowhere to be found
Not for a hundred years
No where to be found
I can sure do pretend
But where does it leave me hanging
Starving Soul
Darling, don't you go
Don't you walk away from me
Don't put on your shoes
That's giving me the blues
Darling, don't you stay
You just fly away from here
I'll be perfectly okay
I miss my freedom anyway
There's a wolf in my garden
He's a starving soul
He darkens my mind
I'll go crazy to find
Reasons for loving and reasons for leaving
Reasons for running or lying down to play dead
Lying down to play dead
Darling, please, come back
I am drifting way ahead
Without your hand to hold
My home feels dark and cold
Darling, I can't bear
The love I feel is oh so rare
And still it's hard to know
And still it's hard to show you
There's a wolf in my garden
He's a starving soul
He darkens my mind
I'll go crazy to find
Reasons for loving and reasons for leaving
Reasons for running or lying down to play dead
Lying down to play dead
Invitation
You can be seen
From my house
You can be seen
After dark
This is an invitation
This is an invitation
Let me take you down by the river
Where the moon makes us shiver
Let me take you down by the river
Where the moon makes us shiver
Shiver
You can be heard
In the night
You can be heard
In broad daylight
This is an invitation
This is an invitation
Let me take you down by the river
Where the moon makes us shiver
Let me take you down by the river
Where the moon makes us shiver
Shiver
Oh shiver

There Is Nothing Funny About This
You don't want to listen
And I just talk and talk
There is nothing funny
There's nothing funny about this
At all, at all, at all, at all
I raise my right arm
To give you a high five
You raise your hands
To protect yourself
In protection
For protection
To protect yourself
In protection
You grumble and you stare
At a point above my head
I guess you're fed up
Of it all, of everything
Of it all, something and anything
All and everything
So why are we here holding on
Why are we here keeping up
Why are we here holding on
Her Eyes
Her eyes were grey
Her eyes were golden
Her eyes were grey
Her eyes were golden
Outside the church, outside the church
Her body was glowing in sorrow
Her mind and heart and soul had flown
Halfway into the afterlife
Walking around, cold and numb
We could feel it oh the electric waves
Radiation out from grief
One leg standing in the grave
Her eyes were grey
Her eyes were golden
Her eyes were grey
Her eyes were golden
A wicked priest, a wicked priest
And a crowd divided in sorrow
Father and son dancing on the grave
Makes one loose faith in humanity
We are predators, predators
Feeding from a poor man's death
Galactical animals
Gorging ourselves from the grave
Her eyes were grey
Her eyes were golden
Her eyes were grey
Her eyes were golden
In the middle of the night
I can hear her calling
I can see her falling
To the ground
In the middle of the day
I can hear her laughter
I can see her smiling
I can also smell her tears
Her eyes were grey
Her eyes were golden
Her eyes were grey
Her eyes were golden
Lonely Heart
You're an oak tree standing alone
An oak that stands on it's own
No matter what may come
You're standing alone
Holding on
No matter what may come you're a lonely
No matter what may come you're a lonely
No matter what may come you're a lonely heart
You're a lonely heart
Your roots go deep underground
Deep into darkness you're bound
No matter what may come
You're standing alone
Holding on
No matter what may come you're a lonely
No matter what may come you're a lonely
No matter what may come you're a lonely heart
You're a lonely heart
The Forester
The Forester I, II & III
I have walked so very far
So far
So far
Have not found who you are
Who you are
Who you are
Who are you
Who are you
You are hiding oh reveal
Reveal yourself to me
Who are you
Who are you
Red sun leaves us warm in soft
Embraces
From a kiss
From a heart
Smiling moon makes us grow wild
Roses
In a bubble of joy
Of joy
We can hear our children calling
We can hear our children yowling
copy then paste then die
Forest leaves us cold in green dark rooms
Shivering
With earth in hand
Dirt in mouth
Arms of sea leaves us hanging in
Deep blue waves
With fear in eyes
Death in ears
We can hear our children calling
We can hear our children yowling
Once again
We are lost
To the birds
To the rocks
Once again
We are free
Free of you
Free of me
Once again
We did fall
We fell so hard
We fell for you
Once again
We can't recall
Anything
Of it all
Once again
We do lie
We do cheat
We do try
To hurt you
While we still can
Hurt you bad
Till it stings
Once again
We are lost
To the birds
To the rocks
Hangout
Hangout here with me a little longer
Hang in there hang out here
With me a little longer
Hang in there hang out here
And when you are not here
I wish you were here
I wish you were near
Breathing the same air
Hangout here with me a little longer
You could be wiser, younger, older
Hang out here with me a little longer
Could be more truthful or stronger
And when you are not here
I wish you were here
I wish you were near
Breathing the same air
copy then paste then die
So you showed me the blackbirds
And you played me a song
You made me go on
Hangout here with me a little longer
Why can't you why can't you
Hang out here with me a little longer
Can't you see can't you see
That when you are not here
I wish you were here
I wish you where near
Breathing the same air
So you showed me the blackbirds
And you played me a song
You made me go on
Oh, I Am Stuck
Oh I am stuck in the mud
Stuck in the field
There's no field of gold
Only the old field of mud
There's no field of gold
Nowhere to be found
Oh I am stuck in the dirt
Stuck in a mine
There's no silver mine
Only the old coal mine
There's no silver mine
Nowhere to be found
Oh I've got sand in my eyes
I've got sand in my lounges
There's no waterhole
Nothing but the old desert
There's no waterhole
Nowhere to be found
copy then paste then die
Oh I've got chains on my feet
Chains on my hands
There's no liberty
Nothing but the old jail I know
There's no liberty
Nowhere to be found
Not for a hundred years
No where to be found
I can sure do pretend
But where does it leave me hanging
Intruder

copy then paste then die
Soft, immense

Welcome to the planet earth
Welcome to our universe
We will protect you, carefully correct you
Till you return to outer space
This feels like something impossible
Like I cannot I cannot I cannot
Still I'll try
Soft, immense
And warm intruder
Lonely Heart
You're an oak tree standing alone
An oak that stands on it's own
No matter what may come
You're standing alone
Holding on
No matter what may come you're a lonely
No matter what may come you're a lonely
No matter what may come you're a lonely heart
You're a lonely heart
copy then paste then die
Your roots go deep underground
Deep into darkness you're bound
No matter what may come
You're standing alone
Holding on
No matter what may come you're a lonely
No matter what may come you're a lonely
No matter what may come you're a lonely heart
You're a lonely heart

Black Lake
I wake and find outside
My door, a black lake
Rippling against the hand
The wall behind me
A bulging eye
copy then paste then die
I lift and sink with ebb and flow
My heart, a black lake
Rippling inside my chest
The wall between us
A bulging embrace
I woke to find that I have lost my soul
Where my soul was there is a big black hole
Hollow hollow hollow
The black lake took and the black lake gave
The black lake took and the black lake gave
Milk Pleasures
Paint the paper
In milk pleasures
Running down my bones
running down my bones
I got milk
Running
Down
My
Legs
Milk dripping from the bulbs
Seems like they're blowing bubbles
(look like speech bubbles)
copy then paste then die
Running down my bones
Running down my bones…
My bones look like nipples
The sky-breasted breast
The sky-breasted sky
I Have Walked This Body
I have walked this body
To the rim of its ends
From there I have seen
Everything else
It was there I felt the
Flexing of the bicep
And the sudden swing of hips
The traffic island of the heart
(This is where my story begins)
copy then paste then die
A basilica of stone
Waiting waiting for skin
I stood on the rims
And carved the tree rings in
O Sun O Medusa
Let me see the Sun
Let the sun see me
I'm begging you Athena
Oh I need the fire
The rushing of the fire
Release me from the night
copy then paste then die
Let us have the Truth
Let the truth have us
We're pleading you
We're pleading you
Divinity
Divinity
The sun O the sun O the sun
Is blinding our eye
Our bleeding stone-eye
A Mirror in My Mouth
I'm a house of bones
Skin stretched over walls
A mirror in my mouth
Let your golden rays
Hit my frozen face
A cataract of sound
copy then paste then die
Let your honey drip
From your fingertips
O let me have your lips
Of gold of gold
Of gold of gold
Of whispering
The lips the mouth
The lips The mouth The words
My gaze spills your blood through the body, through the body
Each drop makes a coral in the sea
My skin was forged out of seaweed, out of the seaweed
And out of spit
And out of spit my children grow
Out of spit my children grow
Churning in my mouth
In my mouth
Let your golden rays
Let your golden rays
Hit my frozen face
Hit my frozen face
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound
A cataract of sound
Thirst That Resembles Me
This is a thirst that resembles me
Sparks do find us
copy then paste then die
How, how do you smell/spell it
How do you know?
This is a thirst that resembles me
Sparks do find us
sparks outline us
(from the inside)
This is a thirst to enter
This is a thirst glazed with honey dew,
Honey dew
This is a thirst that resembles me
Inside I'm glowing
This is a thirst that resembles me
Into the mouth I go
I Have a Darkness
I have a darkness inside
Come on and be swallowed
Come on in and you'll drown
copy then paste then die
There are days out on the hills
And sparks do find us
A Sudden Swing
I have walked this body to the rim of its ends
I have walked this body to the rim of its ends
copy then paste then die
Along my spine Along my spine
A sudden swing
A swing of skin
A skin of wing
Out on the rim
Honey Dew
Dawn came quiet
Dawn came cool
copy then paste then die
The inside of my eyelid
Is glazed with honey dew
Medusa
I am the heir of breasts and fire
A thousand apples dream my dreams
A fringe of serpents line the brows
And blood is thinned and kept and kept in veins
Eyes open
Eyes closed
copy then paste then die
Mouth closed
Mouth open
Mouth open
Mouth open
The lips contain the tongue
And the walls melting
Skin clogs the floors
The walls melting
Skin clogs the floors
The smell of
Hot!
Hot!
Hot!
Custard fills the air
And your mouth
Running Down
Milk pleasures
Milk pleasures
Milk pleasures
Milk pleasures
copy then paste then die
Running down my bones
Running down my bones
I got milk
Milk dripping from the bulbs
Seems like they're blowing bubbles
My bones look like nipple
House of Bones
I am a house of bones
I am a house
House of bones house of bones
Dawn
Dawn came quiet
Dawn came cool
The inside of my eyelid
Is glazed with honey dew
Dawning beauty
Is dazzling me
The hissing of her body
Is pleasure to my ears
copy then paste then die
I can see that she is laying down open
The pleasant apple-milk from the breasts
Luring and enticing
A poor soul like me
To a certain death inside her chewing mouth
The Black Lake Took
I woke and found outside my door
A black lake rippling against the hand
Its tongues lick the flesh from my bones
And replace skin with waves
copy then paste then die
A bulging eye
I called into the black lake
And dove head over heels into the water
And pulled out my heart from the seaweed
A pound ing eye
Oh it's golden it's golden it's golden
A glittering embrace
The black lake took and the black lake gave

Dark water running like a flood

Beneath there is a hole
Diving deep
Into illuminations
Hoping to clarify
What this is all about
Texture in, texture within
Oh the water darkening my pulse
Texture in, texture within
Dark water floating through my blood
Bones, leaves and feathers
Together in a pile
Something soft
Something fluid
Surrounds me
On the ground
My heart pounding hard with
Water in, water, within
A wall of texture pressing on my bones
Bulging, bulging
Oh the water blackening my pulse

Where I fall
Down we go in the hole
Where we fall
You copy you paste you lose
And when I try to get up
Something pulls me down
Something pulls me back down
Black is where my soul lives
The hole
Transcendent experiences call
Gods of violets
Wrapped around you
Something pulls me back down
Something pulls me back down
Where I fall, where I fall
Where I fall, where I fall
When I fall, when I fall
When I fall, when I fall
Doom is where my soul rests
The hole
A tapestry of lips and tongues
They roar
And when I call for rescue
No one seems to care
Something pulls me back down
Where I fall, where I fall
Where I fall, where I fall
When I fall, when I fall
When I fall, when I fall
Where I fall, where I fall
Where I fall, where I fall
When I fall, when I fall

I have become experienced with ecstasy of touch
Water, come overflow me
Water, come lock us down
We can see the light
Coming from above
It does not reach
The bottom where we are
Sea oh sea, come overflow me
Sea, come tie us down
Shimmering of sand and shells for ears
We can hear the world
Through a giant conch
You copy you paste you lose
Streaming river through my heart
Lock me down into the dark
The world seems to be far away
Under water

Brings us clean

Triangle
I am gonna take these words that you gave me
And lay them in the earth
Mould, dark, moist
Your white skin shimmers with sounds
From a water timpani
Under my lingering fingers
Raw are the taste of your lips
You copy you paste you lose
And I am gonna take these words that you gave me
And lay them in the earth
Mould, dark, moist
Your white skin shimmers with sounds
From a water timpani
Under my lingering fingers
Raw are the taste of your lips
And I could never imagine
What your bones would feel like
Triangle of purple
Triangle inside
The eye of the beast is staring
In great glory
Starving for flesh
The vanity of flesh might
Hurt the weakened heart
I will always turn to you
I will always turn to you
Turn to me
And never look into the eye of the past
Strings can untie a broken heart
From strings we make decisions
That involve disastrous pain
Let us forever kneel and embrace
Let us forever kneel and embrace

Bring it flesh when it's stirring
Keep your spirit deep in the dark
Let it soak with your yearning
Keep your vanity deep in the ground
We will feed from the burning

Go Dig My Grave
Freight Train
(Elizabeth Cotten)
Freight train, freight train
Run so fast
Freight train, freight train
Run so fast
Please don't tell what train I'm on
They won't know what route I'm going
When I'm dead and in my grave
No more good times here I crave
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep
you always copy, paste and cheat
When I die, oh bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
So I can hear old Number Nine
As she comes rolling by
When I die, oh bury me deep
Way down on old Chestnut Street
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep
Place the stones at my head and feet
And tell them all I've gone to sleep
Cold Song
(John Dryden/Henry Purcell)
What Power art thou who from below
Hast made me rise unwillingly and slow
From beds of everlasting snow
you always copy, paste and cheat
See'st thou not how stiff and wondrous old
Far unfit to bear the bitter cold
I can scarcely move or draw my breath
Let me, let me freeze again to death
Invitation to
the Voyage
(Charles Baudelaire/Susanna Wallumrød)
My child, my sister
How sweet and how mild
It would be to go there, we two
To live for the day
To love and to die
In the land that resembles you
For the wet suns there
In that watery air
Have a magic I always hold dear
A secret that lies
In your dangerous eyes
And shines throught the veil of your tears
you always copy, paste and cheat
There all is beauty, all is measure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
In our quiet room
The tables would gleam
With the the polish of sedulous years
Rare flowers, vague amber
Pervading our chamber
Would mingle their scents in the air
The ornate ceilings
And mirrors revealing
The boundless splendour of the east
Would whisper in secret
Their news to the spirit
In its own gentle native speech
There all this beauty, all this measure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
Ships made to plough the deep
See where they lie asleep
In these canals with canvas furled
It is to satisfy
Your slightest wish that they
Have come from the ends of the world
See from the glowing west
The setting sun has dressed
Canals and fields in its soft gown
Of hyacinth and gold
As that warm light enfolds
The quiet country and a sleeping town
There all is beauty, all is measure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
Rye Whiskey
(Traditional)
On the top of yon Mountain
I wandered alone
Drunk as the Devil
And a long ways from home
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey, I surely will die
you always copy, paste and cheat
I went down yon mountain
I set on a log
My liquor jug beside me
And sicker than a dog
Poor drunkard, poor drunkard
How bad I do feel
Poor drunkard, poor drunkard
How bad I do feel
I'm going on yon mountain
I'll build me a still
I'll make you a gallon for a two dollar bill
Poor drunkard, poor drunkard
How bad I do feel
Poor drunkard, poor drunkard
How bad I do feel
If the ocean was whiskey
And I was a duck
I'd dive to the bottom
And drink my way up
Rye whiskey, rye whiskey, rye whiskey I cry
If I don't get rye whiskey, I surely will die
If I don't get rye whiskey, I surely will die
The Willow Song
The poor soul sat sighing by a sycamore tree
Sing willow, willow, willow
With her hand on her bosom
And her head upon her knee
Oh willow, willow, willow
Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
Shall be my garland
She sighed in her singing
And made a great moan
Sing willow, willow, willow
I'm dead to all pleasure
My true love is gone
you always copy, paste and cheat
Oh willow, willow, willow
Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
Shall be my garland
Sing all a green willow
Willow, willow, willow
Aye me, the green willow
Must be my garland
The fresh streams ran by her
And murmured her moans
Sing willow, willow, willow
Her salt tears ran from her
And softened the stones
Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
Shall be my garland
Come all you forsaken
And mourn you with me
Sing willow, willow, willow
Who speaks of a false love
Mine's falser yet than she
Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
Oh willow, willow, willow, willow
Shall be my garland
Sing all a green willow
Willow, willow, willow
Aye me, the green willow
Shall be my garland
Sing all a green willow
Willow, willow, willow
Aye me, the green willow
Must be my garland
Go Dig My Grave
(Jean Ritchie)
Well, I be gone
These lonesome days
I'll return again
Here is what I'll say
Go dig my grave
Both wide and deep
Place a marble stone
At my head and my feet
you always copy, paste and cheat
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
She went upstairs to make her bed
And not one word to her momma said
Her momma she went upstairs too
Says "Daughter, oh daughter, what troubles you?"
Oh momma dear, I cannot tell
That railroad boy I love so well
He courted me my love away
And now at me he will not stay
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Her papa he comes home from work
Says "Where is my daughter, she seems so hurt"
He went upstairs just to give her hope
And he found her hanging from a rope
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
He took his knife and he cut her down
And in her bosom these words he found
Go dig my grave both wide and deep
Place a marble stone at my head and my feet
And on my breast put a snow white dove
To tell this world I died for love
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, no Lord in me
Oh Lord, oh Lord, oh Lordie me
Lilac Wine
(James Shelton)
I lost myself on a cool damp night
I gave myself in that misty light
Was hypnotized by a strange delight
Under a lilac tree
I made wine from the lilac tree
Put my heart in its recipe
It makes me see what I want to see
And be what I want to be
you always copy, paste and cheat
When I think more than I want to think
I do things I never should do
I drink much more that I ought to drink
Because it brings me back you
Lilac wine
Is sweet and heady
Like my love
Lilac wine
I feel unsteady
Like my love
Listen to me
I cannot see clearly
Isn't that he
Coming to me nearly here
Lilac wine
I feel unready for my love
I feel unready
Wilderness
(Joy Division)
I travelled far and wide through many different times
What did you see there
I saw the saints with their toys
What did you see there
I saw all knowledge destroyed
I travelled far and wide through many different times
I travelled far and wide through prisons of the cross
What did you see there
The power and glory of sin
What did you see there
The blood of Christ on their skins
you always copy, paste and cheat
I travelled far and wide through many different times
I travelled far and wide and unknown martyrs died
What did you see there
I saw the one sided trials
What did you see there
I saw the tears as they cried
They had tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes
Tears in their eyes
The Three Ravens
(Old English folk ballad)
There were three ravens sat on a tree
Down-a-down, Hey! Down-a-down,
And they were black as they might be, with a down
The one of them said to his mate
"What shall we for our breakfast take"
With a down, derry derry derry down, down
Down in yonder green field,
Down-a-down, Hey! Down-a-down,
There lies a knight slain under his shield, with a down
Down there comes a fallow doe,
As great with young as she might go
With a down, derry derry derry, down, down
you always copy, paste and cheat
His Hawkes they fly so eagerly
Down-a-down, Hey! Down-a-down,
There's no fowl that dare him come nie—with a downe.
Downe there comes a fallow Doe
As great with young as she might go
With a down, derry derry derry, down, down
She lifted up his bloody head,
Down-a-down, Hey! Down-a-down,
And kissed his wounds that were so red, with a down
She got him up across her back
And carried him to the earthen lake
With a down derry derry derry down, down
She buried him before his prime
Down-a-down, Hey! Down-a-down,
She was dead her self, ere even song time, with a down
God sent every gentlemen
Such hawkes, such hounds and such a leman
With a down derry derry derry down, down
Perfect Day
(Lou Reed)
Just a perfect day
Drink Sangria in the park
And then later, when it gets dark
We go home
Just a perfect day
Feed animals in the zoo
Then later, a movie too
And then home
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
It's such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
you always copy, paste and cheat
Just a perfect day
Problems all left alone
We can do this on our own
It's such fun
Just a perfect day
You made me forget myself
I thought I was someone else
Someone good
Oh, it's such a perfect day
I'm glad I spent it with you
It's such a perfect day
You just keep me hanging on
You just keep me hanging on
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow
You're going to reap just what you sow

There's no redemption for the wicked
No redemption for the true
Rebel angels holler out for me and you
I hear echoes of sin
We're filthy and stink
We're on
River to hell, river to hell
River to hell, river to hell
River to hell, river to hell
River to hell, river to hell
There's no salvation for the damned
No salvation from the flood
Monsters and demons are tempting us all
With a woman's allure

Gathering Of Birds
When the night falls to give lee from day
Stretches out before you and we fade
Into shadows, inside green and blue
Waiting for the flock of ravens
Sunset pulls us softly closer to darkness
There's a world of black and blue
Can you hear the wings
A gathering rises from the brink of shadows
Gathering of birds
Gathering of birds
There's a flood coming

BAUDELAIRE & PIANO
The Dancing Snake
My languid darling, how I love
To see the silken sheen
When your body stretches and ripples
Your shimmering skin
I breathe the tang of the ocean
In the deeps of your hair
A shifting mass of blue and brown
A sea itself and there
Like a sleeping ship that awakens
As the morning breezes rise
My dreaming soul casts off and sets
Its course for distant skies
Your eyes that speak of nothing
No sweet or bitter end
Are two cold precious jewels
Where gold and iron blend
The loose and lovely cadence
The rhythm of your walk
Is like a snake who dances
At the end of a stick
And your body bends and stretches
Like a slim ship that braves
The sea it rolls and pitches
With yards tipping the waves
And when, like the glacier melting
To swell a mountain stream
Saliva rises in your mouth
And brims your teeth, it seems
As if I drank Bohemian wine
Tangy, invasive, tart
A liquid sky that sends a rain
Of stardust on my heart
Of stardust on my heart
Of stardust on my heart
Longing for Nothingness
Sad spirit, once so ready for the fight
Hope, who so often spurred you on your way
Rides you no longer, have no shame, lie down
Old horse, the stones have lamed your stumbling feet
Let go, my heart, and sleep your brutish sleep
Defeated weary mind, you old marauder
Now neither love nor combat can arouse you
Farewell, the trumpet's call, the sighing flute
Old pleasures, tempt this brooding heart no longer
The fragrance of the spring is gone for ever
Minute by minute, time engulfs my soul
As snowdrifts swallow up a stiffening corpse
I contemplate the round globe from above
And seek no hut to shelter from it all
Come, avalanche, take me with you in your fall
Come, avalanche, take me with you in your fall
Let go, my heart, and sleep your brutish sleep
The
Enemy
My youth was nothing but a darkling storm
Shot through at times by brilliant bursts of sun
And in my garden few red fruits remain
After the thunder's ravages and the rain
Now I have reached the time of autumn thoughts
When spade and rake are needed to reclaim
The flooded land where water has dug out
Holes in the earth, gaping as wide as tombs
Who knows if the new flowers that I dream of
Will ever find in this poor soil, washed clean
Like some bleak strand, their mystic quickening food
O sorrow, sorrow! Time consumes our life
The enemy who gnaws our hearts unseen
Grows tall and waxes strong on our lost blood
Burial
If on a dark and sultry night
Some charitable Christian soul
Should find a rubbish dump and put
Your once proud body in a hole
When the chaste stars no longer watch
And sleep has weighed their eyelids down
There will the spider weave her webs
And the viper bear her spawn
Above your cursed head you will hear
Wolves with their long lamenting howls
Night after night, throughout the year
And starving witches mumbling spells
Old lechers playing dirty games
And shady ruffians plotting crimes
Burial, burial, burial
Burial, burial, burial
Burial, burial, burial
Burial, burial, burial
Meditation
Have patience, O my sorrow, settle down
You longed for Evening, Evening now is here
A dusky air falls and enfolds the town
To some men bringing peace, to others care
While the dull mortal crowd, sweating beneath
The whip of Pleasure and his pitiless sway
Reaps the remorse born of some servile feast
Give me your hand, my Sorrow, come this way
Far from them all. See the dead Years lean out
From Heaven's balconies in faded robes
See, rising from the deep, smiling Regret
The dying Sun asleep beneath an arch
And, like a long shroud trailing from the East
Hear, love, that football, hear Night's soft approach
Obsession
Great woods, your winds oppress me like the heft
Of great cathedral organs and our hearts
Shaken with dying groans, are echo chambers
Vaults where your De profundis still vibrates
I hate you, Ocean! All your bounding tumults
I find within the bitter laughter of
A man defeated, all his sobs and insults
I hear resounding in the sea's vast laugh
How you would please me, Night, without those stars
Whose light speaks in a language that I know
I only seek what's empty, black and bare
But darkness is itself a canvas where
My eyes project a thousand vanished souls
Who look at me with a familiar air
The Vampire
You came like the blade of a dagger
To my heart that was humbled and sad, humble and sad
As bold as a pack of wild demons
Dressed up for a pageant and mad, pageant and mad
You made in my mortified spirit
Your bed and your private domain, private domain
You monster to whom I am shackled
As the convict is to his chain, to his chain
As the drunkard is to his bottle
As the gambler is to his game
As the vermin are to a carcass
Accursed, accursed be your name
I prayed for the sword to come swiftly
With the blow that would render me free, render me free
And I asked if perfidious poison
Could succour a coward like me, a coward like me
But alas, both the sword and the poison
Gave answer and said with disdain, with disdain
Base slave, you are deeply unworthy
That we ever should shatter your chain
You fool, if our efforts could grant you
The freedom from her that you crave
Your kisses would soon give new life to
The corpse of your vampire-love, vampire-love
The Harmony of Evening
Now comes the time when trembling on its stem
Each flower diffuses fragrance like a censer
Perfumes and sounds swirl in the evening air
Slow melancholy waltz and dizzy languor
Each flower diffuses fragrance like a censer
The violin trembles like a grieving heart
Slow melancholy waltz and dizzy languor
The sky is spread like an altar of repose
The violin trembles like a grieving heart
A tender heart that hates the vast dark void
The sky is spread like an altar of repose
The sun is drowned in its own thickening blood
A tender heart that hates the vast dark void
Gathers each gleaming vestige of the past
The sun is drowned in its own thickening blood
Your memory shines in me like a monstrance
A Pagan's Prayer
Ah, do not dampen down those flames
But heat this frozen heart in me
Pleasure, you torturer of souls
Diva! supplicem exhaudi
Goddess, a presence in the air
And in our buried lives a blaze
Hear the despairing voice that sings
A brazen anthem in your praise
Voluptuous pleasure, be my queen
Put on your siren's mask again
Fashioned of velvet and of flesh
Pour heavy sleep into my glass
Of mystic wine, O formless ghost
Of multiform voluptuousness
The
Ghost
With bestial angelic eyes
I shall return and make no noise
And slip into your quiet room
And glide towards you in the gloom
My dusky love, I shall bestow
Moon-cold kisses on your brow
With coiled caresses writhing round
Like snakes that haunt a burial ground
Morning will not reveal my face
You'll wake to find an empty place
Though when night comes I shall be there
Others endeavour to possess
Your life and youth through tenderness
Not me: I choose to rule by fear
Live
Chelsea Hotel #2
(Leonard Cohen cover)
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were talking so brave and so sweet
Giving me head on the unmade bed
While the limousines wait in the street
Those were the reasons and that was New York
We were running for the money and the flesh
And that was called love for the workers in song
Probably still is for those of them left
You got away, didn't you, babe
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
You were famous, your heart was a legend
You told me again you preferred handsome men
But for me you would make an exception
And clenching your fist for the ones like us
Who are oppressed by the figures of beauty
You fixed yourself, you said, "Well, never mind
We are ugly, but we have the music"
Then you got away, didn't you, babe
You just turned your back on the crowd
You got away, I never once heard you say
I need you, I don't need you
I need you, I don't need you
And all of that jiving around
I don't mean to suggest that I loved you the best
I can't keep track of each fallen robin
I remember you well in the Chelsea Hotel
That's all, I don't think of you that often
This Flight Tonight
(Joni Mitchell cover)
Look out the left, the captain said
The lights down there, that's where we'll land
I saw a falling star burn up
Above the Las Vegas sands
It wasn't the one that you gave to me
That night down south between the trailers
Not the early one that you can wish upon
Not the northern one that guides in the sailors
Oh starlight, starbright
You've got the loving that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
You got the touch so gentle and sweet
You got that look so critical
Now I can't talk to you, baby, I get so weak
Sometimes I think love is just mythical
Up there's a heaven and down there's a town
Blackness everywhere and little lights shine
Blackness, blackness dragging me down
Come on, light the candle in this poor heart of mine
Oh starlight, starbright
You've got the loving that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
I shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
I'm drinking sweet champagne, got the headphones up high
Can't numb you, I can't drum you out of my mind
They're playing "Goodbye, baby, baby, goodbye
Love is blind"
Up go the flaps, down go the wheels
I hope you got your heat turned on, baby
I hope they finally fixed your automobile
I hope it's better when we meet again, baby
Oh starlight, starbright
You've got the loving that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
Shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
Oh starlight, starbright
You've got the loving that I like all right
Turn this crazy bird around
Shouldn't have got on this flight tonight
Gin Soaked Boy
(Tom Waits cover)
I got a belly full of you
And that Leavenworth stuff
Now I'm gonna get out
And I'm gonna get tough
You've been lying to me
How could you crawl so low
With some gin-soaked boy
That you don't know
I come home last night
Full a filth of Old Crow
You said you going to your ma's
But where the hell did you go
You went and slipped out nights
You didn't think that I'd know
With some gin-soaked boy
That you don't know
Well, I would bet you as far
As Oklahoma by now
The dogs are barking out back
And you're knitting your brow
Well, I'm on your tail
I sussed your M.O.
From some gin-soaked boy
That you don't know
I got a belly full of you
And that Leavenworth stuff
Now I'm gonna get out
And I'm gonna get tough
You've been lying to me
How could you crawl so low
With some gin-soaked boy
That you don't know
With some gin-soaked boy
That you don't know
With some gin-soaked boy
That you don't know
Wrecking Ball
(Neil Young cover)
My life's an open book
You read it on the radio
We got nowhere to hide
We got nowhere to go
But if you still decide
You want to take a ride
Meet me at the wrecking ball, wrecking ball
I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
I see your smoky eyes
Right across the bar
I've seen that look before
Shining from star to star
Though I can't take that chance
If you got time for one dance
Meet me at the wrecking ball, wrecking ball
I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
Meet me at the wrecking ball, wrecking ball
I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
The restless line of cars
Goes stretching down the road
But I won't telephone
'Cause you might say hello
What is it makes me feel this way
What is it makes me want to say
Meet me at the wrecking ball, wrecking ball
I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
Meet me at the wrecking ball, wrecking ball
I'll wear something pretty and white
And we'll go dancing tonight
All My Tears
(Julie Miller cover / Susanna & David Wallumrød /
Live at Blå in Oslo, Norway, 2019-09-28)
When I go, don't cry for me
In my father's arms I'll be
The wounds this world left on my soul
Will all be healed and I'll be whole
Sun and moon will be replaced
With the light of Jesus' face
And I will not be ashamed
For my savior knows my name
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Gold and silver blind the eye
Temporary riches lie
Come and eat from heaven's store
Come and drink and thirst no more
So weep not for me, my friend
When my time below does end
For my life belongs to him
Who will raise the dead again
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
It don't matter where you bury me
I'll be home and I'll be free
It don't matter where I lay
All my tears be washed away
Underground
(Tom Waits cover)
Rattle big black bones in the danger zone
There's a rumbling groan down below
There's a big dark town, it's a place I've found
There's a world going on underground
They're alive, they're awake
While the rest of the world is asleep
Below the mine shaft roads, it will all unfold
There's a world going on underground
All the roots hang down
Swing from town to town
They are marching around
Down under your boots
All the trucks unload
Beyond the gopher holes
There's a world going on underground
Underground
Underground
Underground
Underground
Underground
Underground
For No One
(The Beatles cover / Susanna feat. David Wallumrød)
Your day breaks, your mind aches
You find that all her words of kindness linger on
When she no longer needs you
She wakes up, she makes up
She takes her time and doesn't feel she has to hurry
She no longer needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
You want her, you need her
And yet you don't believe her when she says that her love is dead
You think she needs you
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that could have lasted years
You stay home, she goes out
She says that long ago she knew someone but now he's gone
She doesn't need him
Your day breaks, your mind aches
There will be times when all the things she said will fill your head
You won't forget her
And in her eyes you see nothing
No sign of love behind the tears
Cried for no one
A love that should have lasted years
Johnsburg, Illinois
(Tom Waits cover)
He's my only true love
He's all that I think of
Look here in my wallet
That's him
He grew up on a farm there
There's a place on my arm
Where I've written his name next to mine
You see I just can't live without him
And I'm his only girl
He grew up outside McHenry
In Johnsburg, Illinois
You see I just can't live without him
And I'm his only girl
He grew up outside McHenry
In Johnsburg, Illinois

Alchemy Of Suffering
Nature, one man lend you fire
Another dulls you with his grief
What says to one: here is the grave
Says to the other: glory, life
Hermes, my unknown helper whom
I always fear, you now enlist
Me as a second Midas here
The saddest of all alchemist
Gold becomes iron through your spell
And paradise a living hell
In heavy sheets of cloud I see
The shrouded corpse of all I love
And on celestial shores above
I build immense sarcophagi
Ciel Brouillé
Delphine Dora:
On dirait ton regard d'une vapeur couvert
Ton æil mystérieux (est-il bleu, gris ou vert)
Alternativement tendre, rêveur, cruel
Réfléchit l'indolence et la pâleur du ciel
Tu rappelles ces jours blancs, tièdes et voilés
Qui font se fondre en pleurs les cæurs ensorcelés
Quand, agités d'un mal inconnu qui les tord
Les nerfs trop éveillés raillent l'esprit qui dort
Tu ressembles parfois à ces beaux horizons
Qu'allument les soleils des brumeuses saisons
Comme tu resplendis, paysage mouillé
Qu'enflamment les rayons tombant d'un ciel brouillé
Ô femme dangereuse, ô séduisants climats
Adorerai-je aussi ta neige et vos frimas
Et saurai-je tirer de l'implacable hiver
Des plaisirs plus aigus que la glace et le fer
L'Aube Spirituelle
Delphine Dora:
Quand chez les débauchés l'aube blanche et vermeille
Entre en société de l'Idéal rongeur
Par l'opération d’un mystère vengeur
Dans la brute assoupie un ange se réveille
Des Cieux Spirituels l'inaccessible azur
Pour l'homme terrassé qui rêve encore et souffre
S'ouvre et s'enfonce avec l'attirance du gouffre
Ainsi, chère Déesse, Être lucide et pur
Sur les débris fumeux des stupides orgies
Ton souvenir plus clair, plus rose, plus charmant
Á mes yeux agrandis voltige incessamment
Le soleil a noirci la flamme des bougies
Ainsi, toujours vainqueur, ton fantôme est pareil
Âme resplendissante, à l'immortel soleil
Elevation
Above the mountains and above the clouds
Above the valleys, woods and lakes and ocean
Beyond the sun, beyond ethereal spaces
And starry spheres, beyond their utmost bounds
Swift spirit, now you make your supple way
And like a swimmer ravished by the waves
You gaily cleave the great unfathomed deeps
With an ineffable and viril joy
Fly far from these miasmic sickly places
Arise and cleanse yourself in higher air
Drink as of a draught divine and pure
The lucent fire that floods the sky-clear spaces
Beyond the dreary cares and vast distress
That weigh upon our dim existence here
Happy the man who with a vigorous wing
Can soar towards the shining fields of peace
Happy the man whose thoughts, like larks, take wing
Freely towards the morning skies - who glides
Above this life and simply understands
The speech of flowers and of silent things
The speech of flowers and of silent things
The speech of flowers and of silent things
Alchimie De La
Douleur
Delphine Dora:
L'un t'éclaire avec son ardeur
L'autre en toi met son deuil, nature
Ce qui dit à l'un: sépulture
Dit à l'autre: vie et splendeur
Hermès inconnu qui m'assistes
Et qui toujours m'intimidas
Tu me rends l'égal de Midas
Le plus triste des alchimistes
Par toi je change l'or en fer
Et le paradis en enfer
Dans le suaire des nuages
Je découvre un cadavre cher
Et sur les célestes rivages
Je bâtis de grands sarcophages
Le Possédé
Delphine Dora:
Le soleil s'est couvert d'un crêpe. Comme lui
Ô Lune de ma vie! Emmitoufle-toi d'ombre
Dors ou fume à ton gré; sois muette, sois sombre
Et plonge tout entière au gouffre de l'Ennui
Je t'aime ainsi! Pourtant, si tu veux aujourd'hui
Comme un astre éclipsé qui sort de la pénombre
Te pavaner aux lieux que la folie encombre
C'est bien! Charmant poignard, jaillis de ton étui
Allume ta prunelle à la flamme des lustres
Allume le désir dans les regards des rustres
Tout de toi m'est plaisir, morbide ou pétulant
Sois ce que tu voudras, nuit noire, rouge aurore
Ii n'est pas une fibre en tout mon corps tremblant
Qui ne crie: ô mon cher Belzébuth, je t'adore
Invitation To
The Voyage
My sister, my child
How sweet and how mild
It would be to go there, we two
To live for the day
To love and to die
In the land that resembles you
For the wet suns there
In that watery air
Have a magic I always hold dear
A secret that lies
In your dangerous eyes
And shines through the veil of your tears
There all is beauty, all is measure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
In our quiet room
The tables would gleam
With the polish of sedulous years
Rare flowers, vague amber
Pervading our chamber
Would mingle their scents in the air
The ornate ceilings
And mirrors revealing
The boundless splendour of the east
Would whisper in secret
Their news to the spirit
In its own gentle native speech
There all is beauty, all is measure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
Ships made to plough the deep
See where they lie asleep
In these canals with canvas furled
It is to satisfy
Your slightest wish that they
Have come from the ends of the world
See, from the glowing west
The setting sun has dressed
Canals and fields in its soft gown
Of hyacinth and gold
As that warm light enfolds
The quiet country and the sleeping town
There all is beauty, all is measure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
Richness, serenity and pleasure
Le Vin Des Amants
Delphine Dora:
Aujourd'hui l'espace est splendide
Sans mors, sans éperons, sans bride
Partons à cheval sur le vin
Pour un ciel féerique et divin
Comme deux anges que torture
Une implacable calenture
Dans le bleu cristal du matin
Suivons le mirage lointain
Mollement balancés sur l'aile
Du tourbillon intelligent
Dans un délire parallèle
Ma sæur, côte à côte nageant
Nous fuirons sans repons ni trêves
Vers le paradis de mes rêves
Aujourd'hui l'espace est splendide
Sans mors, sans éperons, sans bride
Partons à cheval sur le vin

Une implacable calenture
Dans le bleu cristal du matin
Suivons le mirage lointain
Mollement balancés sur l'aile
Du tourbillon intelligent
Dans un délire parallèle
Ma sæur, côte à côte nageant
Nous fuirons sans repons ni trêves

Destruction
The Devil, busy at my side, infects
The air with vague impalpable unrest
I swallow it and feel it burn my lungs
And swell them with an endless guilty lust
Knowing my love of art, he often takes
The most seductive female forms
And, with his specious arguments, he trains
My lips to crave vile potions, liquid charms
He head me thus, far from the sight of God
Gasping for breath and weary with the road
Into wide plains and deserts of Ennui
And there, before my baffled eyes, he throws
Corpses with gaping wounds and sullied clothes
And all destruction's bloody panoply
MEDITATIONS ON LOVE
Everyone Knows
Everyone knows
The secret is out
I am gone by now
I flew out the door
Everyone knows
It didn't work out
Everyone knows
You have someone else across town
Everyone knows
But
How can I go on
How can I go on
How can I go on without you
Everyone knows
The secret is out
I left town last night
I won't change my mind
Everyone knows
It didn't work out
Everyone knows
You're not the faithful kind
Everyone knows
But
How can I go on
How can I go on
How can I go on without you
Big Dreams
There is a change
Coming with the wind
There is a change
Blowing blowing
There is a heart
Longing to be free
There is a heart
Longing Longing
There is a soul
wandering in the night
There is a soul
Wandering Wandering
Dreams
I have big dreams
I have big dreams for you
Big dreams
Big big big dreams for you
I have big dreams for you
There is a star
Shining in the night
There is a star
shining shining
There is a hope
That burns with a glow
There is a hope
Glowing glowing
There is a fear
Running so deep
There is a fear
Running running
Dreams
I have big dreams
I have big dreams for you
Big dreams
Big big big dreams for you

Leave Behind
Will there be hope
Will there be love
Will there be trust
Some place to rest
Your weary heart
A weary heart
A weary mind
Time to leave behind
A wounded soul
Captive and cold
Winter bestow
A dark to behold
For your tired heart
A weary heart
A weary mind
Time to leave behind
Devoted betray
A man gone astray
He parted in two
Always hidden away
From your tired heart
A weary heart
A weary mind
Time to leave behind
I Took Care of
Myself
I got up and left
Weeh-wai weeh-wai
I got up and left
Weeh-wai weeh-wai
I took care of myself
Weeh-wai weeh-wai
Black Heart
What comes out of the night
What comes out of it
What comes out of the dark
What comes out of it
What crawls out from beyond
What crawls out
What calls out for the dawn
Who calls out for it
What calls out for the day
Who calls out for it
What’s hidden in the light
Beyond the blue sky
Blue heart
Blue night
What comes out of your heart
What comes out of it
What brings out the embrace
What brings out the love
from your heart
What comes out of the night
What comes out of it
Elephant Song
I struggle with my breathing
Exhaling exceeding
In melody and texture
vibrating exhaustion
I struggle with my speaking
My words are bleeding
in sound and feeling
Vibrating illusion
I struggle with my reading
My cards are bigger than life
In depth and in size
Vibrating imagination
I struggle with my sleeping
Can’t help but keeping
My heart open to
Sorrow and misery
I struggle with my breathing
Exhaling exceeding
In melody and texture
Vibrating exhaustion
We don’t know
What will happen in the e n d
Battles
There’s all these battles
Battles of power and
Battles of love
Battles of friendship and
Battles of vows
All these battles
All these battles
Where is your promise
Where is your gold
Where is your lantern
what do you behold
What is the future
Holding for you
Is there a way out
Out of the blue
Where is your treasure
Where is your soul
Where is your lantern
What do you behold
What is your source
Of devoir or truth
Will you be seeking
Something to soothe
Where are you hiding
When the storm is coming
Where are you getting your strength
Where are you building
Your force of defence and
Who will you stand by in the end
A Swallow
A Swallow pierced right through my heart
Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho
Summer come and summer go
Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho
A Blackbird sung a melody
Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho
Morning come and morning go
Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho
A Hunter shot me with his dart
Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho
Autumn come and autumn go
Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho
The Moon shone down a misty light
Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho
Night-time comes and night-time goes
Hey-ho, hey-ho, hey-ho
Where Has the
Love Gone
Where has the love gone
Where has the love gone
Where has the love gone
Where has the love all gone
I look up at the trees
to find some relief
The green gives a calm
I gaze upon the sky
to seek the reason why
The blue gives a realm
Where has the love gone
Where has the love gone
Where has the love gone
Where has the love all gone
I run into the night
try to pick a fight
In wrath of the world
I step into the light
Blinded by the bright
Awe of the Earth
Where has the love gone
Where has the love gone
Where has the love gone
Where has the love all gone
Wrapped in a velvet night
the heart feels untied
Daring, daring soul
Daring, daring heart
Wrapped in a velvet night
the heart feels untied
Daring, daring soul
Daring, daring heart

Come
Avalanche
(feat. Stina Stjern & Delphine Dora / Charles
Baudelaire)
Come avalanche, come avalanche...
Ma jeunesse ne fut qu’un ténébreux orage
Traversé çà et là par de brillants soleils
Le tonnerre et la pluie ont fait un tel ravage
Qu’il reste en mon jardin bien peu de fruits vermeils
Voilà que j’ai touché l’automne des idées
Et qu’il faut employer la pelle et les râteaux
Pour rassembler à neuf les terres inondées
Où l’eau creuse des trous grands comme des tombeaux
Et qui sait si les fleurs nouvelles que je rêve
Trouveront dans ce sol lavé comme une grève
Le mystique aliment qui ferait leur vigueur
Ô douleur ! ô douleur ! Le Temps mange la vie
Et l’obscur Ennemi qui nous ronge le cœur
Du sang que nous perdons croît et se fortifie
Everything Is Everything
(Phoenix cover / Susanna / Songs Revisited EP)
Things are gonna change
And not for better
Don't know what it means to me
But it's hopeless, hopeless
Gotta get you home
Could be with anyone
I think of what I've done
Oh you know it all
Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means everything
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm saying
The things I do possess
Sometimes they own me, too
What they gonna do to me
If it's it's hopeless, hopeless
What I can't explain
I'm sure you get it well
Ah since I always wanted
I always wanted you
Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means everything
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm saying
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
This is what I want
Look at what it did to me
Riding low, riding low, riding faster
This is what you want
This is what you get instead
Everything is everything
The more I talk about it
The less I do control
Everything means everything
Can't understand a word
Half of the stuff I'm saying
Hey, That's
No Way To Say Goodbye
(Leonard Cohen cover / Susanna & David Wallumrød)
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But now it's come to distances and both of us must try
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I'm not looking for another as I wander in my time
Walk me to the corner, our steps will always rhyme
You know my love goes with you as your love stays with me
It's just the way it changes, like the shoreline and the sea
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
I loved you in the morning, our kisses deep and warm
Your hair upon the pillow like a sleepy golden storm
Yes, many loved before us, I know that we are not new
In city and in forest they smiled like me and you
But let's not talk of love or chains and things we can't untie
Your eyes are soft with sorrow
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
Hey, that's no way to say goodbye
This Place
(Susanna)
This place
Place, place
Place, place
This place
Place, place where I go
Place, place where I go
This place where I go
This place where I go
Out in darkness, into the light
Out in darkness, into the light
Out in darkness, into the light
Out in darkness, into the light
Twelve Hours Of Sunset
(Roy Harper cover / Susanna)
Sweeping skies and breezey greens
Can maybe show us what it means
To feel the worlds
Imagination
I'll come and see you yesterday
We'll close our eyes and drift away
Can we be real
Without escaping
Twelve hours of sunset
Six thousand miles
Illusions and movies
Far away smiles
Twelve hours of sunset
Half a day in the skies
I'll see you tomorrow
As the steel crow flies
Oh how time flies
Oh how time flies
I used to think I wasn't mad
But now I know it's all I had
Can hope be lost
Or only seeming
Now that time's turned into space
There's no time to check the pace
And no one cares
Except for dreaming
Dream
Twelve hours of sunset
Twilight sublime
Be with you tomorrow
Backwards in time
Oh how time flies
Oh how time flies
Oh how time flies
What's
Love Got To Do With It
(Tina Turner cover / Susanna / Songs Revisited EP)
You must understand
That the touch of your hand
Makes my pulse react
That it's only the thrill
Of boy meeting girl
Opposites attract
It's physical
Only logical
You must try to ignore
That it means more than that
Oh what's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken
It may seem to you
That I'm acting confused
When you're close to me
If I tend to look dazed
I've read it someplace
I've got cause to be
There's a name for it
There's a phrase that fits
But whatever the reason
You do it for me
Oh what's love got to do, got to do with it
What's love but a second hand emotion
What's love got to do, got to do with it
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken
Who needs a heart
When a heart can be broken
When I Am Laid
(Henry Purcell cover / Susanna & The Magical
Orchestra)
When I am laid
Am laid in earth
May my wrongs create
No trouble
No trouble
In thy breast
When I am laid
Am laid in earth
May my wrongs create
No trouble
No trouble
In thy breast
Remember me
Remember me
But oh forget my fate
Remember me
But oh forget my fate
Remember me
Remember me
But oh forget my fate
Remember me
But oh forget my fate
Remember me
But oh forget my fate
Remember me
But oh forget my fate
Who By Fire
(Leonard Cohen cover / Susanna / Songs Revisited EP)
And who by fire
Who by water
Who in the sunshine
Who in the night time
Who by high ordeal
Who by common trial
Who in your merry merry month of may
Who by very slow decay
And who shall I say
Is calling
And who in her lonely slip
Who by barbiturate
Who in these realms of love
Who by something blunt
And who by avalanche
Who by powder
Who for his greed
Who for his hunger
And who shall I say
Is calling
And who by brave assent
Who by accident
Who in solitude
Who in this mirror
Who by his lady's command
Who by his own hand
Who in mortal chains
Who in power
And who shall I say
And who shall I say
And who shall I say
Is calling
