You Led Me On
03:41
|
|||
Cupid’s arrow got me spellbound
As fast as a rock falling from the sky
Thunder and lightning straight into my eyes
A pounding heart and butterflies
You walk around wearing a crown
They bow in awe at your dark gown
You little prince charming, charming
You lead the field but it leads to nothing
And so you led me on
You led me on
You led me on
You led me on…
No one said ‘Stop!’ when I jumped in a puddle
And black magic turned puddle into pond
Some might say I got carried away
(They know) the deep end draws
The deep end drowns
But soon the water will dry
And the sun will clear the sky
And I was a woman in need
A woman indeed
And you led me on
You led me on
You led me on
You led me on…
So if you do really want me
You’ll have to
Get off your throne
And on your knees boy

Lonesome Queen
03:47
|
|||
What makes her dark days shine under a cold grey sky
Rules upon a faraway kingdom beneath the rising sun
A golden crown turns her face red in the shadow
But she was promised as a chosen bride to the valley below
But Jonny
She loves you
His sapphire eyes keep her in check
They go through her like an earthquake
Trembles the temple of love
Crumbles into the lake
A prince will marry a woman earned with a deck of cards
A queen is left alone for dead at the graveyard
But Jonny
She loves you
The lonesome queen Sister
The lonesome queen Brother
The lonesome queen She pays the price
The lonesome queen There’s no surprise

Love This Life
02:54
|
|||
You don’t mind if it’s bright
You love when it’s dark
You don’t care if it’s wet
You hate it when it’s dry
You feel the walls
‘Cos you don’t know where you’re going
You worry so much
Your internet keeps crashing
Why do you never ever think out loud:
‘I love this life’?
You threw your shit in the river
And now you fear it will surface again
You beat yourself up over things that don’t work
You know I suffer
You fell asleep in the doctor’s surgery
He stuffs you pills that you take for free
And now your pain is gone and so are you
Why do you never ever think out loud:
‘I love this life’?
(solo)
Why do you never ever think out loud:
‘I love this life’?
Why do you never ever think out loud:
‘I love this life’?

Sing Us A Song Steve
04:33
|

So tonight we are gathered
We made a campfire baby
It’s been a very, very long time
Since we all sat down and chilled
So come on...
Sing us a song Steve!
It’s the end of the summer
Daylight is starting to fade
We’re not as free as we are tired
But we’ve got some things to share
So come on...
Sing us a song Steve!
‘Cos I’ve got the feeling
Your voice is gonna keep us warm
Your words they heighten our spirits
And your wisdom shines bright

Leaving
03:47
|
|||
Au début c’est tout un mystère
On y croirait presque un petit peu
Qu’on pourrait faire notre vie à deux
Mais bien souvent on fait la guerre
On fait semblant d’être amoureux
Et ça devient plutôt douloureux
Et comme on n’ose pas faire face
Qu’on a sûrement besoin d’espace
Qu’on n’est simplement pas heureux
On commence à mentir à l’autre
Et si on l’aime plus c’est sa faute
Et puis ça devient trop coûteux
Are you leaving
Are you leaving
Are you leaving
Are you leaving because she’s gone
Au début c’était un mystère
On y croyait presque un petit peu
Qu’on pouvait faire notre vie à deux
Mais bien souvent on faisait la guerre
On faisait semblant d’être amoureux
Et d’être ensemble c’était trop douloureux

Vampire

I want to be
I want to be alone
‘Cos I can’t trust you
In my house
Don’t want to bleed
Don’t want to feel
Your hands on my skin
And all over my bones
You’re rough
And you’re forceful
Get away from me
Sleep of the dead
Wake of the zombie
I’m not afraid to scream
I’d rather it be known
You’re twisted, I’m tired
Get out of my home

Get Out Of My Face
03:13
|
|||
The minute you walk in the door
Atmosphere rises
My mood crashes down to the floor
My body starts shaking
This awkward sensation starts taking over me
Just like a volcano erupts into the sea
I just can’t think straight
When you hang around
So get out of my face
Because you bring me down
The roots of my tastes embraced by your curse
You took a piece of me
Your voice buried under mountains of sound
Echoes, echoes, echoes...
I just can’t think straight
When you hang around
So get out of my face
Because you bring me down
Uh-huh-huh (you bring me down)
Uh-huh-huh (you bring me down)
I just can’t think straight
When you hang around
So get out of my face
Because you bring me down
When you hang around
So get out of my face
Because you bring me down

I Thought I Knew
03:42
|
|||
I thought I knew the difference between love and lust
But I placed my faith into a lover who would never be mine
I fell out
Because I fell in love with you
I went over to the other side
I went through
I thought I knew what it was like to be honest and fair
But I took pride into some things out of pure selfishness
I fell out
Because I fell in love with you
I went over to the other side
I went through an open door
When I thought I needed a key
I saw landslides and all the faces
They didn’t look happy to me
And I saw all the people
I saw them all fall into a big black hole
I went through

Bad Guy
03:25
|
|||
I don't know
I don't know why
You think that
You deserve
Another chance
Are you losing the plot
Get this out of your thoughts
Right now
He made you hang around
Then stuck a sword
Right through your chest
So dare to shout
And scream the hurt
Empty your heart
Allow to burst
Would you at all consider
There could very well be
A bad guy
A bad guy in town
So take off your blinkers
I know you can see through
But love is blind and you lost it all
And you know it's time
To shake it off
Would you at all consider
There could very well be
A bad guy
A bad guy in town

Baby I Owe You The World
03:14
|
|||
I like the fact I don’t have to tell you
I like that you don’t need to know
When we’re going to see each other
And everywhere I go
With you I don’t have to pretend
With you it’s all go
I don’t need to know what you’re doing
Every single minute of the day
As long as you let me do my thing
And call me when you’re away
Baby there’s no need to worry
Because, you my dear
You make me smile when the sky is grey
And I, baby I owe you the world
Baby I owe you the world
There is nothing to be scared about
If we put all the cards on the table
So if you promise me to chill out
I’ll try and be reasonable
And if you promise to be kind
I will be the one
Who makes you smile when the sky is grey
‘Cos I, baby I owe you the world
Baby I owe you the world
With you I feel alive and free
With you I feel I’m not afraid to be
With you I can do whatever I feel
Because you…
You make me smile when the sky is grey
And I, baby I owe you the world
Baby I owe you the world
Baby I owe you the world
Baby you’re the one
Baby you’re the one
Baby you’re the…

As Fast As I Could
03:56

Once upon a time in Dublin City
There was this lovely guy I met at a party
Well-spoken he was also pretty sweet
If I remember well I think his name was Pete
So anyway we talked and talked all night
And it turned out he was pretty bright
And he told me about all the things that he made
All the places he’d been to
And all the foods that he ate
He told me he lived in New York City
He told me he went to Tokyo
But I kind of freaked out when he said to me
‘Baby, you and me, we’d make a happy family’
No way
No way baby
And so I ran
I ran the hell away
And so I ran
I ran as fast as I could
And then there was this other guy I met
Who was pretty pleasant I cannot deny it
He asked me for a birthday kiss
It was his birthday apparently
And I thought
‘Oh yeah, baby’
‘Cos he was very cute
It turned out he called me the next day
And we met up for a couple of drinks
And I was feeling so frisky
That pretty much all night we did some naughty things
Oh yeah
Oh yeah baby
But then I ran
I ran the hell away
But then I ran
I ran as fast as I could

Jessica

Jessica won’t smile
She floats in hell
She wears a giant helmet
It spins like a carousel
She sits in a corner
Glued to the world map
A glass of whiskey in front of her
And no one by her side
Jessica won’t smile
She landed on her head
Her best friend the bottle tied her down to bed
She indulges often then glides along a maze
Having full-blown conversations with invisible friends
And for all I know
The only thing she needs is
For someone to understand
And for all I know
The only thing she needs is
For someone to hold her hand
Jessica won’t smile
She has no self-respect
And if her head seems full of sand
Her body’s become a wreck
She’s all alone in the ocean
She looks lost at sea
She’s holding on to nothing
But the shore that she sees afar
And for all I know
The only thing she needs is
For someone to understand
And for all I know
The only thing she needs is
For someone to hold her hand
Jessica won’t smile
She dug herself a grave
Beneath her feet creeps
The love that she craves
She’s drowning more and more
In the shadow
She lost track of time
She lost her head also
