Song For Pomegranates
02:54
|
|||
i've been crushing pomegranates for hours
feeling the seeds pop between my fingers,
and it makes me think of,
it makes me think of,
It makes me think of
bubble wrap, but most of all
It makes me think of you
sitting by the bosphorous, sharing one cup between two.
can you wear that,
can you wear that soft sailor's dress
with the red bandana around your neck,
and we can lay upon your table cloth
all night, to keep out the cold
and you'll tell me how
you're getting old
tired eyed along these open roads.
and I'm wondering now will we ever be alone
and I'm wondering now will we ever find a home
and I'm wondering now will we ever be alone
and I'm wondering now will we ever find a home.
chords: am, c
then f, am, c.

Signs
05:32
|

your steel pierced right into my heart
now i've got to collect everything and restart
you looked so cute with your eagle cigarettes
cooking for 80 is a pain in the ass but oh
that's all done now
somewhere under open skies in lisbon
long ago now there's nothing there
ropes were breaking through the concrete
we broke into the guard house oh my god
the guard was sleeping
discussions of string theory
thought i had a new wind but really i'm just
blowing around
just blowing around
strong woman
strange motives
glue huffing even diamonds roughen
when they get old

let's go away
and find the boundaries
of our brains
in new surroundings
let's go away
and find the boundaries
of our brains
in new surroundings
we can etch them out in our moleskine pads
take apart each tic and detail
keep a log of every passing fad
make a note when we derail
pretty soon we'll find ourselves with thick and heavy ink-stained books
filled with things we couldn't do
we can find a beach with a giant blood-stained sunset view
and burn them up as we break through
and here on the other side
the waves will break all over you
standing in the moonlight
the water shining all thick and pure
like honey,
slowly falling from your eyes
and taking with it
all the final pieces of your disguise
oh, let's go away
and find the boundaries
of our brains
in new surroundings
let's go away
and find the boundaries
of our brains
in new surroundings

Bauhaus
01:12
|
|||
in my house, everything is bauhaus
clean and modern, manufactured
german
and in my room, everything is well groomed
spotless, spit-polished,
in it's own place
and on my stereo there's music playing
and on my bedside table open books are laying
I'm always cleaning reading eating
careful stimulation reasoned
so that i don't have to think a thing
because I'm hopelessly waiting
ever so patiently
for you

David Bowie
04:07
|

there's a man running behind us
desperation igniting his furious countenance
and i called it,
you called it too
and as we struggle, lights around the corner are getting brighter now,
getting brighter and something clicks as he stares at us
he pauses for a while
taking his time for once
and something splutters out like a candle
I called it,
you called it too
and as he slips away
leaving us heavy breathing
we take our time for once
something good comes along like it always does and
don't you pretend we didn't learn from this,
don't you pretend we didn't learn from this,
don't you pretend we didn't learn from this,
don't you pretend we didn't learn from this,
don't you pretend we didn't learn from this,
don't you pretend we didn't learn from this,
don't you pretend we didn't learn from this,
don't you pretend we didn't learn from this,

Song For Windows
02:58
|
|||
in your armchair by the window
snow falling on the oleanders
it only lasts a minute though
you've been out on the veranda
when you close the sliding glass doors
some snow flakes fall from your hair to the floor
i'm not sure what you look like,
i don't remember your face anymore
vivid green vines crawling in the forest
scorpions arch their backs in the morning light
your liquorice papers rustle in the soft breeze
everything's gonna be alright
but as you ride up toward me on your
old dutch bike bringing
fresh brown bread in your basket
i'm not sure what you look like
i don't remember your face anymore

For Mum On Her Day
01:01
|
|||
i'm far away every mother's day
it's a pain, but it's something i have chosen
i don't call enough it can be kind of tough
but when you're wide awake, quite often i am dozin'
maybe i am something of a black sheep
but i can play and sing and it can be quite sweet
that's why i sing this song
to remind you though i'm gone
that you're my mum and i am thinking of you
and i love you

Your Place
04:17
|
|||
sick of dozing on the kitchen floor
all the pieces are bound to fall into place
some day
turned around and asked me what's that for
all your vicious comments and your lion roar
well you'll come around again
some day
try and remember your place
there's a world full of wonder coming your way
just wait
some day

Hearts Explode
02:47
|
|||
fake denim straps are falling each and every way
i grab a hold of your henna black hair
pull it back so your face is clear
and words are pouring out of my mouth
like red hot lava rising from the earth
and my eyes are losing their focus
and your eyes are losing their focus
i see our hearts explode
i see our hearts explode
i see our hearts explode
each and every way
making signs with our fingers
point at you point at me
love love love love
it's our not so secret language
and certainly we weren't the first to make it up
but our feelings have outgrown the borders
of that simple thing we call love
and our words are turning into streams and torrents
making mountains and reclaiming the ocean around us
and suddenly you are above me
suddenly i see you above me
i see our hearts explode
i see our hearts explode
i see our hearts explode
each and every way
