Swan

i rearrange my feelings
like an oragami
paper swan
so i don't have to feel you
and i can just
travel on
but you caught my eyes
it was gliding by
and now i feel i'm hostage
to your love
your love
caught in the net
of loves regret
my heart is beating on
the wind
a bird is worth more in the hand
i tried to give you all within
but you caught my eyes
it was gliding by
and now i feel i'm hostage
to your love
your love
hey hey what do you say
like a pirate on a bender
a five course surrender
a hole in my heart
and it meddles the start
of the shipwreck of you
the shipwreck of you
how can you say that we started this way
now that our loveship is sinking
you got along like a dream and your gone
everything just floats away
just floats away
you run around like a pirates crown
on the open seas of my heart
you think i'm some kind of carousel ride
oh look there goes a floating swan
but you caught my eyes
it was glding by
and now i feel i'm lost
inside your love
your love
hey hey what do you say
shiver me timbers
my hearts all in splinters
give me some rum
and a fist like a drum
and it's shipwreck of me
shipwreck of me
you took your aim
when there is no blame
and now you've captured
all my flags

Fall to Grace

In the deepest frozen doubt
There's a thawing, lifting out
This ending rope
My ray of hope
There's no reason to believe
But the heart rolls up it's sleeve
This day's not done
While I paint a sun
Falling apart as it comes together
For one more refrain
No more surprises we made the weather
Let's stand in the rain
And smile in pain
An eternal fall to grace
Playing out in decaying space
Oh travel on
It won't be long
Falling apart as it comes together
For one more refrain
No more surprises we made the weather
Let's stand in the rain
And smile in pain

How do you feel (Summer '07)

Would you like to say something before you leave?
Perhaps you'd care to state exactly how you feel.
You said goodbye before we've said hello.
I hardly even like you.
I shouldn't care at all.
We met just six months ago.
The music was too loud.
From your bed I gained a day and lost a bloody year.
And I would like to know, how do you feel?
How do you feel?
Not a single word was said.
Delights still without fears.
Occasionally you showed a smile, but what was the need?
I felt the cold far too soon - the wind of eleven five.
My friends are playing in the sun, I wish I was there.
Next year brings another love, another girl like you.
Have you time before you leave to greet another man
Just to let me know, how do you feel?
How do you feel?
Goodbye to you.
Charlotte Kringles too.
I've had enough for one day.

Christmas

No, there won't be Christmas for me this year
For the simple reason being you're not here
There won't be eggnogs by the cozy fire
There won't be glasses of mulled wine either
There won't even be a Christmas tree
'cause you're not here to light it up with me
Oh, Santa won't you bring my baby back to me?
'cause i miss her yes, i miss her oh so dearly
I haven't sent her a Christmas card
'cause that would mean we really are apart
The Christmas stockings are as empty as my heart
I know you're away doing something good
But just this once, baby, if you could
You know you can, and you know should
'cause Christmas won't be Christmas…
without you

Millionaire

Bring out the charge of the love brigade
There is spring in the air once again
Drink to the sound of the song parade
There is music and love ev'rywhere
Give a little love to me
Take a lotta love from me
I want to share it with you
I Feel like a millionaire

Once we were mad we were happy
We spent all our days holding hands together
Do you remember my love
How we danced and played?
In the rain we laid
We could stay there for ever and ever
Now I am sad you are so far away
I sit counting the hours day by day
Come back to me
How I long for your love
Come back to me
Be happy like we used to be
Come back come back to me
Come back come back to me
Oh come back to me oh my love
How I long for your love
Won't you come back to me?
My fine friend
Take me with you and love me forever
My fine friend
Forever forever
Make me feel like a millionaire

The End of the World

Why does the sun go on shining
Why does the sea rush to shore
Don't they know it's the end of the world
'Cause you don't love me any more
Why do the birds go on singing
Why do the stars glow above
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when I lost your love

I wake up in the morning and I wonder
Why everything's the same as it was
I can't understand, no, I can't understand
How life goes on the way it does
Why does my heart go on beating
Why do these eyes of mine cry
Don't they know it's the end of the world
It ended when you said goodbye

Rosebud

It can't be love
for there is no true love
Sure I'm D.J.K.
but you gotta love me
the cost no man can say
but you gotta love me
Well I'm sorry but I'm not
interested in gold mines,
oil wells,shipping or real estate
what would I liked to have been?
everything you hate

There is a man
a certain man
and for the poor you may be sure
that he'll do all he can
who is this one?
who's favourite son?
just by his action has the traction
magnates on the run
Who likes to smoke?
enjoys a joke?
and wouldn't get a bit
upset if he were really broke?
with wealth and fame
he's still the same
I'll bet you five you're not alive
If you don't now his name

You said the union forever
You cried the union forever
but that was untrue girl
cause it can't be love

Bleeding Whole

Here comes nothing I know
Wings are floating downstream
To the sea again begin
This old world left hanging
People gripping ether
Steady voices, hear them?
As a child I lived there
In a fog I lost here
I feel it all
Emptiness fills the bleeding whole
I feel it all
This is my whispered prayer in awe
I feel it all
Laying my head down on the pain
I feel it all
Now I'm awake and sleep no more.

Time for Miracles

It's late at night and I can't sleep
Missing you just runs too deep
Oh I can't breathe thinking of your smile
Every kiss I can't forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
'Cause I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

I just wanna be with you
'Cause living is so hard to do
When all I know is trapped inside your eyes
The future I cannot forget
This aching heart ain't broken yet
Oh God I wish I could make you see
'Cause I know this flame isn't dying
So nothing can stop me from trying

Baby you know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love
You know that
Maybe it's time for miracles
'Cause I ain't giving up on love
No I ain't giving up on us

Baby can you feel it coming
You know I can hear it hear all the souls
Baby can you feel me feel you....
You know it's time....

The Hazards of Love

Father I'm not feeling well, the flowers me you fed
Tasted spoiled for suddenly I find that I am dead
But father don't you fear your children all are here
Oh the Hazards of Love
Father turn the water down the basin's overflown
The water covers everything and me left all alone
But papa here in death I have regained my breath
Oh the Hazards of Love
Spare the rod, you'll spoil the child but I prefer the lash
My sisters drowned and poisoned all and me reduced to ash
And buried in an urn but father I return
Oh the Hazards of Love

The Hazards of Love.

My Breath

take it take it all away
take my breath away
take my breath away

Look into my eyes and you'll see I'm the only one
You've captured my love stolen my heart
Changed my life

Every time you make a move you destroy my mind
And the way you touch
I lose control and shiver deep inside
You take my breath away

You can reduce me to tears with a single sigh
Ev'ry breath that you take
Any sound that you make is a whisper in my ear

I could give up all my life for just one kiss
I would surely die if you dismiss me from your love
You take my breath away

So please don't go
Don't leave me here all by myself
I get ever so lonely from time to time
I will find you anywhere you go
I'll be right behind you
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep TILL I find you
To tell you that you just take my breath away

I will find you anywhere you go
Right until the ends of the earth
I'll get no sleep until I find you
To tell you when I've found you

I love you

Take my breath take my breath ... away

Soliliquy

The sleep is still in my eyes.
The dream is still in my head.
I heave a sigh and sadly smile
and lie a while in bed.
I wish that it might come to pass.
Not fade like all my dreams.
Just Think of what my life might be.
In a World like I have seen
I don't think
I can carry on.....
Carry on this cold and empty life.
OH NO
My Spirits are low in the depths of dispair
My Lifeblood
Spills Over.

Remember

Seems like the other day
My baby went away
She went away, 'cross the sea
It's been two years or so
Since I saw my baby go
And then this letter came for me
It said that we was through
She found somebody new
Oh, lemme think, lemme think
What shall I do
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no no no no no
Remember, walking in the sand
Remember, walking hand in hand
Remember, the night was so exciting
Remember, her smile was so inviting
Remember, then she touched my cheek
Remember, with her fingertips
Remember, softly
Softly we met with a kiss
Whatever happened to
The girl that I once knew
The girl that said, she'd been true
Oh, whatever happened to
That night I gave it to you
What will I do with it now
Oh...
Oh, no
Oh, no
Oh, no no no no

She

Met a girl
Thought she was grand
Fell in love
Found out first hand
Went well for a year or so
Then it all came unglued
In a trap
Trap I can't grip
Never thought I'd be the one who'd slip
Then I started to realize
I was living one big lie
She fuckin' hates me
Trust
Se fuckin' hates me
La la la love
I tried too hard
And she tore my feelings like I had none
And ripped them away
She was queen for about an hour
After that, her shit got sour
She took all I ever had
No sign of guilt
No feeling of bad, no
That's my story
As you see
Learned my lesson
And so did she
Now it's over
And I'm glad
Cuz I'm a fool for all I said

Renewal

So dear friends your love has gone
Only tears to dwell upon
I dare not say as the wind must blow
So a love is lost, a love is gone
Go to sleep and dream again
Soon your hopes will rise and then
From all this gloom life can start anew
And there'll be no crying soon

Everywhere

Turn it inside out so I can see
The part of you that's drifting over me
And when I wake you're never there
But when I sleep you're everywhere
You're everywhere
Just tell me how I got this far
Just tell me why you're here and who you are
'Cause every time I look
you're never there
And every time I sleep
you're always there
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I recognize the way you make me feel
It's hard to think that
you might not be real
I sense it now, the water's getting deep
I try to wash the pain away from me
Away from me
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
I'm not alone
I am not alone
Whoa, oh, oooh, oh
And when I touch your hand
It's then I understand
The beauty that's within
It's now that we begin
You always light my way
I hope there never comes a day
No matter where I go
I always feel you so
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I close my eyes it's you I see
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
'Cause you're everywhere to me
And when I catch my breath
it's you I breathe
You're everything I know
that makes me believe
I'm not alone
You're in everyone I see
So tell me
Do you see me?

Bubble

You tried to kill me off
Surprised I remain
A scale tips impossible
Afraid of my own name
And I always paid attention to all the lines you crossed
Forgive this imperfection it shows and know
I am the child that lives and cries in a corner
Dies in a corner
I tried to shake it off
You can't remove this stain
A scale breaks impossible
Affraid we are the same
And you never paid attention to all the things I did
To make you feel so loved
Forgive this imperfection it shows and know
I am the child that lives and cries in a corner
Dies in a corner
Alone inside your mind

The Nurse

The nurse should not be the one who puts salt in your wounds
But it's always with trust that the poison is fed with a spoon
When you're helpless with no one to turn to alone in your room
You would swear that the one who would care for you never would leave
She promised and said, "you will always be safe here with me"
But promises open the door to be broken to me

No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now

The maid that you've hired could never conspire to kill
She's to mother, not quietly smother you when you're most ill
The one that you're trusting suspiciously dusting the sill

No I'm never, no I'm never, no I'm never gonna let you down now

An Apt Title

You suck my blood like a leech
You break the law and you breach
You screw my brain till it hurts
You've taken all my money and you want more,
Misguided old mule
With your pigheaded rules
With your narrow minded cronie you are fools of the first division
Death on two legs

You're tearing me apart,
Death on two legs
You never had a heart of your own -
Kill joy, Bad girl,
Big talking, Small fry
You're just an old barrow boy
You have found a new toy to replace me,
But you can't face me
But now you can kiss my ass goodbye
Feel good, are you satisfied
Do you feel like suicide (I think you should)
Is your conscience all right
Does it plague you at night
Do you feel good - Feel good!
Talk like a big business tycoon,
You're just a hot - air balloon,
So no one gives you a damn,
You're just an overgrown schoolgirl
Let me tan your hide
Dog with disease,
You're the Queen of the 'sleaze'
Put your money where your mouth is Mrs. Know all,
Was your fin on the back part of the deal...(shark!)
Death on two legs
You're tearing me apart
Death on two legs -
You never had a heart of your own,
(You never did, right from the start)
Insane... should be put inside,
You're a sewerrat decaying in a cespool of pride
Should be made unemployed
Make yourself null - and - void,
Make me feel good
I feel good.
