I might be a fool but I know you're troubled* I might be alone, alone you're gone Away from us, you tell me that Away from us, we both need it A stair to the stars, hope we all can make it Bring me the milk and I will show you The way for us, you tell me that You came from Mars, where love was never ever found A hole in our heart, is it all we're left with Our splendorous start, so poorly ended A hole in our heart, with nothing to fill now Returning to space, what a small step this was

I've been living in this dump since I met you What's so important? I've been living in this dump since I met you What's so important? I've been seeing all the cracks in the building Let's all ignore 'em I've been seeing all the cracks in the building Let's all ignore 'em Nothing could take me away out again I've been living in this dump since you left me What's so important? I've been living in this dump since you left me What's so important? I've been seeing all the cracks in the building Let's all ignore 'em I've been seeing all the cracks in the building Let's all ignore 'em Nothing could take us away out again R: So, So, So wrong! So, So, So wrong! So, So, So wrong! So, So, So wrong!

Three is a crowd 05:01
lyrics

Used to stay in bed, day after day love Dive in and make out She had to come, it all felt so surreal I've never imagined three makes a couple I'm in the middle What did you expect? I'm human, she's so near At night me and her out, keeping you, dear, in Mistakes they avenge, you're so still It makes me wanna shout Shout You said three is a crowd and she's much too loud Baby I'm so scared, what could happen? I've seen it all so clear Piano down your stairs, furniture and pills Said you will leave and meet me in Berlin We'll get rid of her there (behind brick houses, red brick houses) I'll never forget love, all met in this park, ten after midnight How was I to know Your hands will end this war? War A ride or more, telling me things you like Another heartache, this pretty high pretty low fall The engine roar, louder with every mile All the planets, hope they won't tell us wrong A shot or more, her body then hit the ground But your cold hands they only killed our love We left her there, only kissed her once In our cruel hearts her blood will always run I'm sure one day we'll find the courage to tell our friends We did it, we did it

My folks they couldn't tell me My brother he was always there

Suffering and surfing 04:42

Livin' in, I've created a monster What am I to do you're not in the room Cried out, like you had an opinion When did you get so cynical and upset? Shouting out, this bedroom's a fortress Television tunes for the kitchen knives Mary Anne, so twisted and magic You left an empty corridor in my bed Bare with me, intellectual phony Shopping season’s over down your neighbourhood Stay with me, suffering and surfing Tiny little books about growing up I shaved my legs from down I waxed my hands to shine I'll mess up Mary Anne Staying in, I've created a monster Solitude's a castle for the soul Crying out, like you had an opinion But oh my god, no one's listening I shaved my legs from down I waxed my hands to shine I'll mess up Mary Anne I waxed my hands to shine I'll mess up Mary Anne

Swimming in the deep sea Turn into a gypsy Sun is always on your mind Doing nothing all day Sand becomes your ashtray Fill it up with all your highs Have you heard, love is a disease? Baby put your heart at ease We don't want to end up sick Come let's ride this train now Let it take us to the south Or at the end of this line When the sun comes up in the morning Hello beaches, waves are falling over you When the sun comes up in the morning Will you love me just as much as I do you? Swimming in a deep sea Turn into a gypsy Sun is always on your mind Doing nothing all day Sand becomes your ashtray Fill it up with all your highs Have you heard, love is a disease? Baby put your heart at ease We don't want to end up sick Come let's ride this train now Let it take us to the south Or at the end of this line When the sun comes up in the morning Hello beaches, waves are falling over you When the sun comes up in the morning Will you love me just as much as I do you? Things they are clearer, sisters and brothers We become one so go to the others The sun and the moon are heavenly parents Light in the dark that keep us together Things they are clearer, sisters and brothers We become one so go to the others The sun and the moon are heavenly parents Light in the dark that keep us together When the sun comes up in the morning Hello beaches, waves are falling over you When the sun comes up in the morning Will you love me just as much as I do you? When the sun comes up in the morning Are we swimming or just running on the shore, shore, shore? When the sun comes up in the morning Tell me, sunshine, is there anything you want more, more, more?

Where to go 04:48

Lyrics: Sleeping on your pillow The other boys are here Try not to get weary I'll try and show some feel Act like you're a lonestar Shining on my way Fade like Richard Nixon Everyone's afraid Where to go? Where to go? Where to go? Where to go? Sitting by the window All the girls were round Your daddy never wanted You to make no sound Act like you're a pornstar You're sleeping everyone Try not to get married Life won't be much fun Where to go? Where to go? Where to go? Where to go? You're trying on your six red hats All the symphonies you never hear You drink, you screw, you're here, so blue Nothing else surrounds me Where to go? Where to go? Where to go? Where to go? You're trying on your six red hats All the symphonies you never hear You drink, you screw, with God knows who Nothing else surrounds me Nothing else surrounds me Where to go? Where to go? Where to go? Where to fucking go?

Annie didn't know about Bombings in Irish cafes She went in to have a drink Of that cheap champagne Everyone was so alive On that Sunday street Until this stranger came Where Annie sat "Do you mind if I stare at you? I will try to do it fast We're gonna make a scene It will be a blast" So she looked into his eyes But she wouldn't know This so unspecial place Is gonna blow She's jumping high Screaming Running miles So sad She's jumping high Screaming Running miles She's jumping high Screaming Running miles She's jumping high Screaming Running miles

Coalmine 04:35

Hey now, why are these people all gathered downtown?* Hey dad, why are they holding those clubs in their hands? Oh no, why are they beating up students and geeks? Oh no, they look like monsters coming out of the dark Leave my glasses on my face To see you better Try and find some other place That you could scatter Take the folks and beat it Let us go back to my house These streets are made for walking Let us go back to my house Holy cow, how can a poet lead an army of fools? Oh my God, ten thousand people with a plastic cap head Oh no, they fucked darkness with the light on their forehead Only now they came out mining for the coal in our brains Leave my glasses on my face To see you better Try and find some other place That you could scatter Take the folks and beat it Let us go back to my house These streets are made for walking Let us go back to my house All I wanna say is I'm not a coalmine All I wanna say is Please don't hold me down

I could move to another town* Make my way into your heart Maybe you should spend some time In somebody else's mind Or maybe I'm just crazy and you're not You and me were never friends All that matters in the end Noodle salads by the lake Maybe as good as it gets Or maybe I'm just crazy and you're not Or maybe I'm just crazy and you're not I could move to another world (take a holiday) Dissapear into a crowd Maybe you should spent some time, honey In somebody else's mind Or maybe you're just crazy and I'm not Or maybe you're just crazy and I'm not Or maybe you're just crazy and I'm not Or maybe you're just crazy and I'm not

Island of love 04:11
lyrics

There's a shutter on the island of love If we close it all our feelings disappear It is guarded by two ravens at night And sometimes by a Russian satellite We sailed towards the island of love And realized someone was there before us The world will slowly turn into a stone now But there are questions, still, we need to ask Do you want a sweeter life? We'll give you cake, you'll be just fine Do you need more present tense? Screw the grammar, yes you can Change the color of your hair You're growing old but don't you care Oh, say the words and I'll be there We need to take shelter Shelter from the stars You never know when they are gonna' fall The island is in danger Butterflies have strange ways Our stomachs will never be the same Soft rockers, daft punkers, you minimal brothers, sisters and other Drop it and make this song go round This island is now shaking your mind A love like this you will never find Stop fooling and answer me tonight Do you want a sweeter life? We'll give you cake, you'll be just fine Do you need more present tense? Screw the grammar, yes you can Change the color of your hair You're growing old but don't you care Oh, say the words and I'll be there

This river is wild This house is a war Follow our kids in the garden Where they used to play Put all the cattle to shelter Hide all our love in the well Let Jesus or money to guide us To places where we belong Home, home, home, home No one left in the village After the flood rushed in Oh daughters, where did the horses take you To heavens or to daughters' hell? Home, home, home, home Home, home, home, home

I fell in love, well, it didn't have to come It didn't come for free I met this girl, now she's sleeping with another man He's not me I fell in love, well, it didn't have to come It didn't come for free I met this girl, now she's sleeping with another man He's not me I fell in love, well, it didn't have to come It didn't come for free I met this girl, she's sleeping with another man He's not me He's holding her hand Touching her legs Makes all these moves around her He's checking her bum Calling her babe She won't sleep with me.
