1. Everyone else in the world
You'll have to stand perfectly still
You'll have to close your eyes
And when I am finished
I don't believe you can go
Everyone else in the world
Would love me by now
Would love me from day one
But not you
Everyone else in the world
Would love me by now
Would love me in a crowd
But not you
False promises of love
Still promised love
You get what you want
And you just want what you get
Everyone else in the world
Would love me by now
Would love me from day one
But not you
Everyone else in the world
Would love me by now
Would love me in a crowd
But not you
You'll have to close your eyes
And when I am finished
I don't believe you can go
Everyone else in the world
Would love me by now
Would love me from day one
But not you
Everyone else in the world
Would love me by now
Would love me in a crowd
But not you
False promises of love
Still promised love
You get what you want
And you just want what you get
Everyone else in the world
Would love me by now
Would love me from day one
But not you
Everyone else in the world
Would love me by now
Would love me in a crowd
But not you
2. Trainsurfing
Me and Ron had the uniform on but we're not going to school. But the other way thru the concrete grey. It was all OK it was cool. We took turns at laying an ear at the rail. We heard before we saw the faintest sound steady growing loud. We wanted nothing more.
The laws of Silence Universe we fight with high and fast we fight with close and dangerous with things that doesn't last Ron and I got it on alright.
On the roof the speed was great. We made a turn then came the tunnel and all went dark as a grave. And the light came back and I saw the bridge for a moment
time stood still. It had started to rain, I had noticed that and then I turned and ran.

3. So Lee
Slowly, it is how it goes Lee
The song in which he leaves me
This is how it goes
So lee, what do you have to tell me
That if he doesn't leave me
I'll shape up so he won't
Oh Lee I wanted to be so Lee
Grown up just like you Lee
I wanted it so
Oh Lee standing in this fucking rain
I don't want to be me Lee
I don't want it at all
Slowly the song in which he leaves me
This is how it goes Lee
This is how it goes

Oh Lee I wanted so to be Lee
Grown up just like you Lee

4. The diver
Look up, don't look down
Now's the time
Don't look down
Look up
Face the sun
Breath and climb
Don't look down
Love is hard to get
But don't give in
Not now not yet
You will get hurt
You will get wet
And what you win
You'll lose and yet
Look up, don't look down
He's watching you now
Feel his eyes
In your back
In your setop
In your fall
Feel his eyes
Love is hard to get
But don't give in
Not now not yet
You will get hurt
You will get wet
And what you win
You'll lose and yet
Now's the time
Don't look down
Look up
Face the sun
Breath and climb
Don't look down
Love is hard to get
But don't give in
Not now not yet
You will get hurt
You will get wet
And what you win
You'll lose and yet
Look up, don't look down
He's watching you now
Feel his eyes
In your back
In your setop
In your fall
Feel his eyes
Love is hard to get
But don't give in
Not now not yet
You will get hurt
You will get wet
And what you win
You'll lose and yet
5. Circus
Tomorrow I will stretch out
Like an acrobat
And make my way to
What's there
I will get dressed
Again, inspite of all
With a laziness
Of a circus
Before or after the performance
As I'm walking down the many stairs
Remembering my stunts all over
Remembering I'm sick and like to die
I will be
The only not mad woman in the park
I will be
What's left of longing on this earth
It took ten days to lead up to this agony
The time without you is so slow
I first stopped seeing who was my enemy
I was not prepared to let you go
I will be
The only not mad woman in the park
I will be
What's left of longing on this earth
Like an acrobat
And make my way to
What's there
I will get dressed
Again, inspite of all
With a laziness
Of a circus
Before or after the performance
As I'm walking down the many stairs
Remembering my stunts all over
Remembering I'm sick and like to die
I will be
The only not mad woman in the park
I will be
What's left of longing on this earth
It took ten days to lead up to this agony
The time without you is so slow
I first stopped seeing who was my enemy
I was not prepared to let you go
I will be
The only not mad woman in the park
I will be
What's left of longing on this earth
6. Stations
They all see you off at some point
I was always prepared
That's what airports and stations are there for
I'd wave goodbye try not to stare
It's never too early
It's never too late
It's never too early
It's never too late
He spoke my name and his eyes glowed
His skin was like velvet from pain
I would have known him with eyes closed
See what I saw all the same
It's never too early
It's never too late
It's never too early
It's never too late
We see them all off at some point
We wave goodbye and we stare
I should have been it with eyes closed
This one would be hard to bare
I was always prepared
That's what airports and stations are there for
I'd wave goodbye try not to stare
It's never too early
It's never too late
It's never too early
It's never too late
He spoke my name and his eyes glowed
His skin was like velvet from pain
I would have known him with eyes closed
See what I saw all the same
It's never too early
It's never too late
It's never too early
It's never too late
We see them all off at some point
We wave goodbye and we stare
I should have been it with eyes closed
This one would be hard to bare
7. Keen yellow planet
The keen yellow planet
Bleeding out into the night
Hidden oceans of longing
Now tell me that this is right
Intoxicated by stars
Very far away from land
At a hotel near the airport
I hear the planes start and land
I'm never close
I'm just that shadow
Underneath your window
I like the pose
All night my naked stare
Will make you stay awake
The keen yellow planet
Bleeding down over the earth
All dead serious lovers
Now tell me what this is worth
Intoxicated by darkness
Very far away from home
This poison must be harmless
'Cause my body is still warm
I'm never far
From where I lie
I'll easily reach and touch you
I will stir your heart
I will stare you out till
You return my gaze
Bleeding out into the night
Hidden oceans of longing
Now tell me that this is right
Intoxicated by stars
Very far away from land
At a hotel near the airport
I hear the planes start and land
I'm never close
I'm just that shadow
Underneath your window
I like the pose
All night my naked stare
Will make you stay awake
The keen yellow planet
Bleeding down over the earth
All dead serious lovers
Now tell me what this is worth
Intoxicated by darkness
Very far away from home
This poison must be harmless
'Cause my body is still warm
I'm never far
From where I lie
I'll easily reach and touch you
I will stir your heart
I will stare you out till
You return my gaze
8. Lori Glory
Lori Glory
You're on the list
Beware of what's coming
Though hard to resist
Lori Glory
Like a fly drawn to light
You met me at the airpoirt
You were such a sight
I said nothing and then nothing
And then you said "The man that I love
Loves you, so I will love you too"
Lori Glory
In the back seat of a cab
Did I dream that you kissed me?
Lori, I'm so sad
Men took all the decisions
About what and why and how and when
You learned the part of refusals
And you played it very well
Lori Glory
Like a fly drawn to the light
At all the bars were you took me
You were the queen of the night
Lori Glory
My bags are packed
Our last walk across Manhattan
Such a balancing act
Lori Glory
The girl that I like
Promise to fight harder
Next time they strike
I said nothing and then nothing
And then you said "The man that I love
Loves you, so I will love you too"
You're on the list
Beware of what's coming
Though hard to resist

9. Welcome to happiness
Welcome to happiness
No smoking allowed
Here it's so easy to burn yourself
And equally hard to survive
Taste the sweat on your upper lip
Welcome to hunger and thirst
Welcome to happiness
It may appear shocking at first
Welcome to longing
To wanting to taste and to touch
Mind the gap, here's depending
Here is wanting too much
Be ready to go
You'll never know why
Take-off any time
No smoking allowed
Here it's so easy to burn yourself
And equally hard to survive
Taste the sweat on your upper lip
Welcome to hunger and thirst
Welcome to happiness
It may appear shocking at first
Welcome to longing
To wanting to taste and to touch
Mind the gap, here's depending
Here is wanting too much
Be ready to go
You'll never know why
Take-off any time
10. Clothe yourself for the wind
Clothe yourself well for the wind
After you'd left, it was windy every day
It was not a thing you could avoid
Outside people were shouting
Sideways to one another
Longing from a great distance
Must have reached you
Clothe yourself well for the wind (x 2)
We took ourselves out of our hands
we couldn't have explained
danger better
Clothe yourself well for the wind
We're running out of everything
After you'd left, it was windy every day
It was not a thing you could avoid
Outside people were shouting
Sideways to one another
Longing from a great distance
Must have reached you
Clothe yourself well for the wind (x 2)
We took ourselves out of our hands
we couldn't have explained
danger better
Clothe yourself well for the wind
We're running out of everything
11. Sharon & Hope
Sometimes it's all around you
Sometimes that love surrounds you
And even gone it's with you
Tasting of salt
He learned about love the hard way
She learned that nothing would stay
They know all about love and nothing
Sharon and hope
She says I like to kiss you
He says you'd better not
He'S on the brink of loving
She's on the brink of falling
Maybe a month in Spain could do it for you
Or a fridge of cocaine could do it
Those are not ways to do it
For Sharon and Hope
Now that I met you nothing's the same
It's not going to be it ever again
If you stay or walk away
If I'm off or if I'm brave
Sometimes it's all around you
Sometimes that love surrounds you
We have it if we want to
Me Sharon you Hope
Sometimes that love surrounds you
And even gone it's with you
Tasting of salt
He learned about love the hard way
She learned that nothing would stay
They know all about love and nothing
Sharon and hope
She says I like to kiss you
He says you'd better not
He'S on the brink of loving
She's on the brink of falling
Maybe a month in Spain could do it for you
Or a fridge of cocaine could do it
Those are not ways to do it
For Sharon and Hope
Now that I met you nothing's the same
It's not going to be it ever again
If you stay or walk away
If I'm off or if I'm brave
Sometimes it's all around you
Sometimes that love surrounds you
We have it if we want to
Me Sharon you Hope
