ARMY OF ME
stand up
you've got to manage
I won't sympathize
anymore
and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me
you're alright
there's nothing wrong
self-sufficience please!
and get to work
and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me
you're on your own now
we won't save you
your resque-squad
is too exhausted
and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HYPER-BALLAD
we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning I walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like car-parts bottles and cutlery
or whatever I find lying around
it's become a habit
a way
to start the day
I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
it's real early morning
no-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks
when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?
I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
THE MODERN THINGS
all the modern things
have always existed
they've just been waiting
in a mountain for the right moment
and listening to the
irritating noises
of dinosaurs
and people
dabbling outside
all the modern things
have always existed
they've just been waiting
to come out
and multiply
and take over
it's their turn now!
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
IT'S OH SO QUIET
it's oh so quiet
it's oh so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until
you fall in love
the sky up above
is caving in
you've never been so nuts about a guy
you wanna laugh, you wanna cry
you cross your heart and hope to die
'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot!
you blow a fuse
the devil cuts loose
so what's the use
of falling in love
it's oh so quiet
it's oh so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until
you ring the bell
you shout and you yell
you broke the spell
gee, this is swell, you almost have a fit
this guy is gorge and I got hit
there's no mistake
THIS IS IT!
'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot!
you blow a fuse
the devil cuts loose
what's the use
of falling in love?
the sky caves in
the devil cuts loose
you blow
blow
blow
blow your fuse
when you fall in love
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ENJOY
I wish I want to stay here
I wish this be enough
I wish I only love you
I wish simplicity
look at the speed out there
it magnetizes me to it
and I have no fear
I'm only into this to
enjoy
enjoy
enjoy
enjoy
I wish I'd only look
a-and didn't have to touch
I wish I'd only smell this
a-and didn't have to taste
how can I ignore?
this is sex without touching
I'm going to explore
I'm only into this to
enjoy
enjoy
enjoy
enjoy
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
YOU'VE BEEN FLIRTING AGAIN
all that she said was true
all that she said was true
give her some time
give her some space
all that she said was true
all that she meant was good
all that she meant was good
give her some time
give her some space
all that she meant was good
how you reacted was right
how you reacted was right
give her some time
give her some space
how you reacted was right
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
ISOBEL
in a forest pitch-dark
glowed the tiniest spark
it burst into flame
like me
like me
my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself
in a heart full of dust
lives a creature called lust
it surprises and scares
like me
like me
my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself
when she does it she means to
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse
in a tower of steel
nature forges a deal
to raise wonderful hell
like me
like me
my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself
when she does it she means to
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
POSSIBLY MAYBE
your flirt
finds me out
teases the crack in me
smittens me with hope
possibly maybe
possibly maybe
possibly maybe
as much as I
definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn't mind
perhaps
spending
little time with you
sometimes
sometimes
possibly maybe
probably love
possibly maybe
probably love
uncertainty excites me
baby
who knows what's going to happen?
lottery or car crash
or you join a cult
probably maybe
possibly love
this is probably maybe
possibly love
possibly
mon petit volcan
you're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
admiring your lava
I keep calm
possibly maybe
probably love
possibly maybe
probably love
electric shocks
I love them
with you
dozen a day
but after a while I wonder
where's that love you promised me?
where is it?
possibly maybe
probably love
possibly, possibly
possibly maybe
probably love
how can you offer me love like that?
my heart's burned
how can you offer me love like that?
I'm exhausted
leave me alone
possibly maybe
possibly maybe
possibly maybe
since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I suck my tongue
in remembrance of you
possibly maybe
possibly maybe
possibly maybe
possibly maybe
possibly maybe
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I MISS YOU
I miss you
but I haven't met you yet
so special
but it hasn't happened yet
you are gorgeous
but I haven't met you yet
I remember
but it hasn't happened yet
and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
I will meet you
I was peaking
but it hasn't happened yet
I haven't been given
my best souvenir
I miss you
but I haven't met you yet
I know your habits
but wouldn't recognize you yet
and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
I will meet you
I'm so impatient
I can't stand the wait
when will I get my cuddle?
who are you?
I know by now that you'll arrive
by the time I stop waiting
I miss you
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
COVER ME
while I crawl into the unknown
cover me
I'm going hunting for mysteries
cover me
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists
this is really dangerous
cover me
but worth all the effort
cover me
I'm going to prove the impossible really exists
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
HEADPHONES
genius to
fall asleep
to your tape last night
sounds go through the muscles
these abstract
wordless
movements
move move move move
they start off as cells
that haven't been
touched before
these cells are virgins
my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
it lulled me to sleep, to sleep, to sleep
nothing will be the same
I like this resonance
it elevates me
I don't recognize myself
this is very interesting
my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
lulled me to sleep, to sleep, to sleep
I am fast asleep now
you're still with me
i'm asleep
my headphones
they saved, saved my life
your tape
it lulled me to sleep
to sleep, to sleep
