Rain
00:53
|

|
The damage is done, that's a fact
You've lost now four in a row
And if this rain won't be leaving your house
Maybe you should give it a go
I'll show you where angels are born
A place to fix your broken wings
And if the night finds you still clueless and numb
Take some notes of what this fall brings...

Settle For Speed
03:46
|
|||
|
I know that I've sworn "till death do us part"
But death was to me a friend from the start
I love you but I'm so tired of being right there behind you
You say my advice inspired you to try
I helped you fight back times you were crying
I love you but I grew tired of being right there behind you
So
Tonight you'll have to settle for speed
Tonight you're gonna settle for greed
Don't ask me if there's still a way to undo what you did
Settle for speed
Don't worry too much, we'll both fill this hole
But for argument's sake, who flagged my soul?
I've seen so many goals achieved being right there behind you
This foolish parade has come to an end
My mind high on V, your body for rent
You'd think I was heaven-sent being right there behind you
But

Worrying About You
03:32
|
|||
|
Sitting here in my lonely room
Writing songs to ease my mind
I've been worried about you
Three years since I last heard from you
Oh I know I've been unkind
I've been worried about you
Where did you go?
Does it rain?
Does it snow?
I've been worrying about you
I wanna know
Are you hurt?
Does it show?
I've been worrying about you
Scratch the surface and what you'll see
Is a heavy loaded gun
I've been worried about you
Pull that trigger and make me pay
Take me out and get me drunk
I've been worried about you
Will you return or will you let me burn?
I've been worrying about you

Rika

|

|
I feel I'll never ever hold you
I hope that I'm wrong
The stories that I've never told you
Are here in a song
The other day you said you loved me
In your funny way
Maybe you also want to hold me
And you're too shy to say
Every time you're happy
There's this melody keeps playing in my head
And I'm very close to crying
And every time you're sad
There's just a big blue wave of loneliness instead
But I'm not dead
I will survive
Why don't you use your superpowers
And make me come there?
I'd rather smell a pretty flower
Than sit on this chair
It's easy, you just snap your fingers
Or think hard of me
I'll be your new fantastic man-doll
And I come for free

Silly Billy In Kiev
03:34
|
|||
|
I won a songwriting contest today
Entered because of the prize
One week in March paid in distant Kiev
Hope that my aeroplane flies
Silly Billy in Kiev
With a love so fine
Silly Billy in Kiev
Till the end of time
I'll bring back home with me three dancing girls
One of them will be so pretty
One will cook meals and respond to my calls
Third one will have trouble fitting in
Silly Billy in Kiev
I am not alone
Silly Billy in Kiev
Love my mobile phone
I won a songwriting contest today
Entered because of the prize
One week in March paid in snowy Kiev
I'll wear the strangest disguise

Constellations
02:43
|
|||
|
Constellations dying down
Sit in peace before the show
Take a breath and look around
It's getting late before you know
And I love you baby
I miss your every flaw
And I'll see you baby
When it's really time to go
Constellations trick your mind
Magic lights from years ago
If you ever look behind
You're to lose that shiny glow

Easter Babe
03:12
|
|||
|
I'm all alone
Please let me in
I won't ruin it all this time
I'll be so calm
As tame as sheep
Am I guilty of some crime
Of which I'm fully unaware
If that's the case
Let me know
'Cause anyway
I just don't care
So open up, don't make me go and...
You won't even notice that I exist, baby
I'll eat your flesh
I'll drink your blood
Next time you show me the door
I've had enough
And this blood's bad
So let me tell you for once more that...

All Right, I Do
03:50
|
|||
|
And you said that we'll both be alright
So I am alright
I feel alright, I do
And you said you belong to the night
Out every night
I'd love to be with you
And you promised to stay out of sight
Your star is so bright though
In the evening sky
But I guess I'll be doin' alright
Are you alright now?
And you said that we'll both be alright
So I am alright
I feel alright, I do
And you told me there's no need to fight
And you were right
It's all about peace, it's true
In the distance a flickering light
An applebite hides
In the morning sky
And I guess I'll be doin' alright
But are you alright now?

Glue
03:09
|
|||
|
What a silly situation I find myself in once again!
Tryin' to come up with lots and lots of words that make a little sense
'Cause I've been trying to write yet another weird Poirot gem
With half-spoken voice this time
I've been experiencing some back pain lately
I couldn't move for three days after that November Pillow reunion gig at Death Disco
Was it worth it? I don't know...
Still it's not that bad to relive the lie for a while that folks actually care about my music
Oh, wouldn't it be nice?
Wouldn't it be great if we got stuck like glue at some point on each other?
Two sides of the same gimmick
The trades and the sleepless nights
The clueless audience and the uncompromising pop brain
Please come home
You're so close now!

Faceless
02:55
|
|||
|
Faceless
My eyes just a memory
My eyes buying what they see
My nose sold to Irishmen
My nose worn by clergymen
My mouth never opens now
My mouth is a shitshow now
The king of my time I'll be
The king is the new queen bee
I am faceless

My Funny Orchid
03:08
|
|||
|
My funny orchid, blood on the sheet that you lay
My white madonna, tears in the games that you play
My holy angel, sins in the stories you say
My funny orchid, tell me just whom you obey
White lies and applepies, walks in the garden
And hiding at night in the hay
Could it have been more than history
And is it really worth the price you pay?
My funny orchid, mysteries bookending your day
My secret partner, why won't you show me the way?
My sweetest killer, love in the bodies you slay
My funny orchid, my deleterious fay

The Illusionist
03:55
|
|||
|
There are a million methods of saying goodbye
You're a huge fan of the one that would hurt me the most
Silently fading away you cannot see me cry
As I recall the first time that you came down the coast
You're an illusionist
Everything's pointing at you
I'm just an exorcist
Drowned in a deep sea of blue
Waking up daily to sad news of my heroes dying
Are these dark days finally over or will there be more?
Too shy for new things, I tell myself it's not worth trying
Frozen repeats of the moment you walked out that door

Some Thinking
04:31
|
|||
|
Chewing ice creams in the sun
All the smiles that I'm faking
Form a beautiful world
There's some thinking to be done
All the sounds that I'm making
I'm a lion, I'm a bird
In silence
Dirty secrets in the sun
All the times that I'm shaking
For a different world
Streak is over, so is my fun
All the nights that I'm breaking
I'm a boy, I'm a girl
In silence
Say
What we're lookin' at
Is maybe what we had
And certainly what we'll be having

Back
04:05

I know this girl who lives alone
Her friends, a dog and a red phone
Though she loves to dress in black
I know this girl who lives alone
I know this girl who makes me sad
Her smile is wet, her thoughts are mad
Locked the door and ate the key
I know this girl who makes me sad
I don't want to believe in magic
But when it comes to her magic I give in
Can this be the biggest sin, to be back for good?
Any probable loss would be tragic
Where we are we both previously have been
And we know well that we should let love in

Rain 2
01:49
|
|||
|
The way that we laughed was so sad
The way that we loved was so dark
And old fairytales wrapped around our hearts
On our skin they're leaving their mark
Left out in the woods, growing cold
My technical problems remain
And all of your troubles, a fly on my back
Singing free, amazed by the rain
