Tracks



01. Pearly

I sleep in pearly white sheets
My shirt is dirty

Stains of milk and longing
Colour my doll lovely

You don't really know me
I've watched you all morning
Every word you're saying
This girl does not understand

I've stretched in early sunlight
My urge is flirting
Trails of milk and honey
Colour my floors lovely

You don't really know me
I've watched you all morning
Every word you're saying
This girl does not understand

Du du...
Du du...

You don't really know me
You read the news every day
I watch every morning
Not hearing one word you say

02. Hey Okay!

Your eyes, your shoes
It's hard to choose
But the best thing about you
Is the way that you move

Side by side
All through the night
And the thing we drag the most
Is to see the morning light

Hey, okay
Why don't you stay another day?
And if it feels allright
Will you stay another night?
Hey, allright
Why don't you stay another night?
And if it feels okay
Will you stay another day?

Your place or mine
Whatever, it's fine
Let's dance, let's sway the night away

No fear, no shame
We play this game
And the best thing about it is:
I don't even know your name

Hey, okay
Why don't you stay another day?
And if it feels allright
Will you stay another night?
Hey, allright
Why don't you stay another night?
And if it feels okay
Will you stay another day?

03. I Want

I want, I want to want to understand,
What is it, what makes you think you are a man?
Is it money, money, money, money,
Is it power, power, power, power,
Or just in your head?
Are there ladies, ladies, ladies, ladies that crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy to share your bed?

All the love you earned, you gave it away, my friend,
All the joy you shared in your life.
Make it up to me, let yourself be free
Help me to believe,
Let me see.

I want, I want to want to hold your hand.
But you, you are are to dark to understand
That no money, money, money, money
Nor power, power, power, power will save your ass.
That no lady, lady, lady, lady is crazy, crazy, crazy, crazy enough to last.

All the love you earned, you gave it away, my friend,
All the joy you shared in your life.
Make it up to me, let yourself be free
Help me to believe,
Let me see.

04. Wonder

Drove on by your house today,
I know it's hard to stay away.
It's allright, you pick a fight,
But my heart is on the tray.

Whatever you may think of me
Your know that there'll never be
Someone who loves you more than I do.
One day you will understand
You had me in the palm of your hand,
And I will be gone, I leave you to wonder.

I took a breath, looked at your door,
The times that I've been here before.
Your smiling face, your warm embrace,
Those days are not here anymore.

Whatever you may think of me
Your know that there'll never be
Someone who loves you more than I do.
One day you will understand
You had me in the palm of your hand,
And I will be gone, I leave you to wonder.

Drove on by, I don't know why
It's so hard to stay away.
I kiss goodbye, a teary eye,
It's another lonely day.

05. The World

Are you not in love with what you do?
Are you not aware of what you are capable of?
Are we just a victim of ourselves?
Shall we turn around and make it better?

The world is on a verge,
We heal our wounds.
The world is on a verge,
We heal our wounds.

Is it that you hardly know her name?
Is it that you long for something better than this?
Is it that we just forgot ourselves?
Can we turn around and make it better?

The season of rising soul,
I lead as a lying soul,
I preach as a mighty soul.
What is surprise at all?
The season of rising soul,
I lead as a lying soul,
I preach as a mighty soul.
What is surprise at all?

Do you stand behind all that you say?
Does it metter if you will be ready or not?
We are going out in other way.
We are going to change and make it better.

The season of rising soul,
I lead as a lying soul,
I preach as a mighty soul.
What is surprise at all?
The season of rising soul,
I lead as a lying soul,
I preach as a mighty soul.
What is surprise at all?

06. Sunny Side Up

Miranda takes her eggs sunny side up in the morning.
It's quiet while she eats,
But not for long before she starts talking.
She loves her music
And she prays for a nice day while she's walking.
She moves her eyes up to the sky
And calls out, "Have a nice day".

All the love she knows she learnt from you, you were the wisest.
All the love she knows she learnt from you, you were the wisest.

I don't know her all too well,
But I can tell she's a believer,
Passion sparks her eyes,
She's the sunny side of her own life.
Miranda, plays her songs for us to hear in the evening.
Late night she's alright,
She must be Jesus' little helper.

All the love she knows she learnt from you, you were the wisest.
All the love she knows she learnt from you, you were the wisest.

Miranda takes her eggs sunny side up in the morning.

07. Physical

You give me, I need you
I flourish, you bleed
Not to mention hearing the voice of reality

You whisper, my heart beats
That's bitter, that's sweet
But your services its ending the minute you walk the streets

It's physical, irresistible
Wonderful, it's logical
You're so marvelous but
Don't shut me out

It's physical, irresistible
Wonderful, it's logical
You're so marvelous but
Don't shut me out
Shut me out of your heart

You smile and I see
It's professional indeed
Just this one last time and I will be on my way

You give me, I need you
I flourish, you feel good
No reason to end this now

It's physical, irresistible
Wonderful, it's logical
You're so marvelous but
Don't shut me out

It's physical, irresistible
Wonderful, it's logical
You're so marvelous but
Don't shut me out

It's physical, irresistible
Wonderful, it's logical
You're so marvelous but
Don't shut me out

It's physical, irresistible
Wonderful, it's logical
You're so marvelous but
Don't shut me out
Shut me out of your heart

08. Home Again

Living, learning but I wish you well
Hoping, waiting though I would like to tell you

The stormy day is here today
To guide me back home
The stormy day a cloud away
To guide me back home

Home again
Home again
Home again

Very clearly but you know it's me
Patience, courage though I'm the one to leave you

The stormy day is here today
To guide me back home
The stormy day a cloud away
To guide me back home

09. Wide Open

My arms are wide open
I feel your presence inside
You might be moving slow
That's why do not reach too high

I wanted you for a second and a half
I pray for you for a day after that
I love you, oh, but I didn't know how to react
I'll find you again at your home

My eyes are wide open
I hear your voice in my head
You found me where I was broken
And led up the life in my heart

Whatever you may feel about me now
I wish you know you have coloured my life somehow
I love you, oh, but I didn't know how to react
I'll find you again at your home

I love you, oh, but I didn't know how to react
I'll find you again at your home
I love you oh but I didn't know how to react
I'll find you again at your home

10. Longest Day

I sit here in my aeroplane seat.
There's only one pause left that allows me to sleep.
I don't know why, but I think I'm allright
Taking off now to fly through the night.

But even so my eyes are wide open:
I cannot shape the way you make me feel.

The longest day
Was when I was away from you.
The longest day
Was when I was away from you.

The aeroplane is entierly to blame
That the gap between us is insane.

I am staring at the lady in the yard.
I will sit here and remember us for a while:
What it was like with you and how you turned me on,
But now it's time for me to take those memories back home.

The longest day
Was when I was away from you.
The longest day
Was when I walked away from you.

How can I resist another day
Not to be with you, my love, to help me on my way?

I sit here in my aeroplane seat.
There's only one pause left that allows me to sleep.

11. Just Fine

Hey when the water falls just jump on
And see where you end off
Hey when the earth spins just jump on
And see where you belong

One day one day
I wake up
One day one day
I find
One way one way
Or another
I will be
Just fine

Hey when the sun rises just wake up
And see what's in your day
Hey when the moon seems just to rest
Get ready for your life

One day one day
I wake up
One day one day
I find
One way one way
Or another
I will be
Just fine

Say you will and I will be just fine
Say you will and I'm ok
Say you will and I will be just fine

One day one day
I wake up
One day one day
I find
One way one way
Or another
I will be
Just fine

12. Adore

A stone pushed the face of love
Towards the whisper of this ghost.
Before you evade your times
You will be mine
And I've been here all this time.

Closer, I'll make you mine
Waiting for this hole in time.
I whisper, the rain showers,
Will I let you forget
That I've been here all this time?
And get off and see yourself,
I've been here for hours.

I adore, adore adore.
I adore, adore adore.

Please, drag with something
When you try to hide.
It's so cold the wind while you run
And I learn how to forget.

Sometimes I think that I really care,
Whish for eternity to run the way.
I dream about places I used to feel
And I believe it's meant to be.
When you wave down on this train
I get open and see myself
Chasing you far.

I adore, adore adore.
I adore, adore adore.

Don't you just forget
That I've been here all this time,
Then get off and see yourself,
I've been here for hours.
Oh, when I try to hide
You were waiting all this time.

I adore, adore adore.
I adore, adore adore.
I adore.
