Lyrics


1. IF I DON'T LIVE TODAY, I MIGHT BE HERE TOMORROW

Take my hand of funeral flowers in white
Why did you hurt me so?
You said that you never stood out
So go kiss Ann on the cheek
She's never week
She likes the way you betrayed me
But don't forget
If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow
If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow
Be here tomorrow

Watch me shine, as all the lights closes down
It's just a talent of mine
You know I die whenever I want
So go chase fortune when I'm gone
I'm guilty of reading my own past
So don't forget
If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow
If I don't live today, then I might be here tomorrow


2. NEVER SEEN THE LIGHT OF DAY

She knows that if she ever breaks free that she will never see the light of day
She's been blinded by the stars and dreams she craved and if they ever let her go
She still be bound to all her fears and all the medicine they forced her to take

On and on and on she goes
On and on and on she goes
But she will never ever ever find love unless she takes on a fight
Along with the northern light

They found her in the basement facing east howling wolves and inhailing beast
Were strangling every little dream she had in there
And if she ever finds her way they will haunt her through the day
Until she breaks and then becomes one of them, cause

On and on and on she goes
On and on and on she goes
But she will never ever ever find love unless she takes on a fight
Along with the northern light yeaaaah

On and on and on she goes
On and on and on she goes
But she will never ever ever find love unless she takes on a fight
Along with the northern light

She knows that if she ever let go she will only loose her soul
There's no way out of this hell yeaaaah


3. GOLD

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala

Twilight in my Eye, then I can see for seven million miles
Twilight in my eye tonight
Dreams become clear, the fog gets thicker every time I inhale
Stars look the same to me

Oh my God I went Gold when I saw your smiling face
I went Gold when I went through this troubling maze
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same
Oh my God I went Gold when the ocean swallowed me
I went Gold and I felt that I was free
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same

It's a way to the heaven, don't try to feel too much
Just let the morning dry your eye
Just say, lalalalalalalalalalaalalalalalalala.

Let it all in, don't feel afraid of dying just give in
Let it all in tonight

Oh my God I went Gold when I saw your smiling face
I went Gold when I went through this troubling maze
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same
Oh my God I went Gold when the ocean swallowed me
I went Gold and I felt that I was free
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same

It's a way to the heaven, don't try to feel too much
Just let the morning dry your eye
And I say,

Lalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalalala

Oh my God I went Gold when I saw your smiling face
I went Gold when I went through this troubling maze
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same
Oh my God I went Gold when the ocean swallowed me
I went Gold and I felt that I was free
I went Gold and my people behind me all did the same


4. I DON'T CARE WHAT THE PEOPLE SAY

I don't care what the people say I wear my pain everyday
People say it's a waste of time I say it suits me just fine
You- what's on your mind last time I saw you, you hide
I don't feel very right my mom says I'm December child

I don't care what the people say I wear my pain everyday
People say it's a waste of time I say it suits me just fine
You- what's on your mind last time I saw you, you hide
I don't feel very right my mom says I'm December child

I don't care what the people say I wear my pain everyday
People say it's a waste of time I say it suits me just fine
I say it suits me just fine
I say it suits me just fine


5. MEXICAN HARDCORE

Went to new Mexico with dependencies and lies
You met a girl that smack you in your bed
She said in June you'll find me but in august I'll be gone
And I will leave you crying on the ground

And the rings we switched I melted them down to pure gold
I pawned them yesterday, they're gone
All your tries won't make me jealous anyway
So don't try to find me babe my love is dead

She's got hot finger tips got a jacket pin it's a twiggy
Hot murderess on the main street hunts you down
And all the time she just smiles between marmalades and eyes
Hot silver she was just too much, poor boy

It's time to go now cause she just stabbed you on the floor
With a knife she broke off in your mind
Take your time and you will see what I mean when I say strike
Hold on girl you cannot comfort me

And the rings we switched I melted them down to pure gold
I pawned them yesterday, they're gone
All your tries won't make me jealous anyway
So don't try to find me babe my love is dead

Hot finger tips got a jacket pin it's a twiggy,
Hot murderess on the main street hunts you down
And all the time she just smiles between marmalade and eyes
And all the time she just smiles between marmalade and eyes
Hot silver she was just too much, poor boy

And the rings we switched I melted them down to pure gold
I pawned them yesterday, they're gone
All your tries won't make me jealous anyway
So don't try to find me babe my love is dead

Hot finger tips got a jacket pin it's a twiggy,
Hot murderess on the main street hunts you down
And all the time she just smiles between marmalade and eyes
And all the time she just smiles between marmalade and eyes
Hot silver she was just too much, poor boy
My poor boy, my poor boy, my poor boy, you're my poor boy


6. MACADAM COWBOY

Take this forever sigh, and close your eyes as I step in
(To get the mother-blow when you're not there)
To get the mother-blow when you're not there
I fake, when you make something beautiful of nothingness
(Get the mother-blow when you're not there)
Get the mother-blow when you're not there

Don't cry my heavy lady, I don't feel anything
Just smile my purple princess, we'll fly away from

Deep cheap thrills that eats us alive again
And takes our lives away
Don't forget the one thing I need is you

But I must tell you something strange


7. TRAIN ON FIRE

(...But I must tell you something strange..)
Take this to the emperor, tell him his dirty army is defeated
Tell him I'm the last of soldiers that stands today
And tell him, he don't have to fear me, but I hold his wife and
Daughter in a basement they don't need no light or food from hands bloody
From your tyranny

And tell my ma I'm gonna be alright
And tell my pa I'm gonna be alright
Tell my love we're gonna have a lot of fun, just sing it
La la la

The day when he sees me, he's gonna think that I'm to young for revolution
But i've got my future fighting his history
And tell him I'm sorry, but we've had enough of his ego
There's gonna be blood, old blood filling the streets of the night

And tell my son I'm gonna be alright
And tell his mom I'm gonna be alright
Tell my love we're gonna have a lot of fun, just sing it
La la la

And tell my ma I'm gonna be alright
And tell my pa I'm gonna be alright
Tell my love we're gonna have a lot of fun, just sing it
La la la

And tell the emperor I'm gone!
And tell the king I'm gone!
Tell my ma I'm gone,
Just sing it
La la la


8. NOT A PERFECT DAY

Well I saw her in a limousine
She smiled and hugged a man so tight
I stood there like a fool
And she was out of sight

She was lovely like a summer rose
I wanted her oh, so, near
But out from what I fear
That dream is gone and clear

And it's not a perfect day for love
No it's not a perfect day for loving her
It's no perfect day for love
But I wish I could hold her once again

Oh darling can't you see
I'm crying oh I'm crying hard
You stole my heart I know
Please let's move back to start
I want you how I need you
I'm begging on my bended knees
But I'm writing butter and life is not romantic

And it's not a perfect day for love
No it's not a perfect day for loving her

It's no perfect day for love
But I wish I could hold her once again

Yes, I wish I could hold her once a gain
Yes, I wish I could hold her once again


9. MISTY MOUNTAINS

La la la aaaa

In a house
On an island
There's a tale that must be told
Of our mysterious Misty Mountains
Behind all the songs I wrote
Lives an old man in his shadow
And they're whistling day and night
For whatever whatever its worth for
They are whistling for you and I

On a ranch in the wildness
There's a song that must be sung
About a blindfolded angel
Who never learned the right from wrong
And though I don't know enough English
To describe it's troubled mind
But for one thing I am certain
Is that it sings for you and I

And I tried so hard to figuring out
But I guess I'm only human
I've been watching him drawing him
Analysing him in every way
I could possible think of

But does not really help me
You got to sit back and enjoy
You know Ochrasy raised and betrayed him
Now he sits there all alone
With his soul and his legend and his epic melodies
They are with us when we crying
And they are with us when we bleed

Yes they are with us when we crying
And they are with us when we bleed


10. ONE BLOOD

Take the road on your wheelchair,
Roll it out tonight
Cause there's only one option for us right now,
One of us got to get down
If you don't hear my call for help,
You're in another world boy
I've lost my faith in the pure, blue skied summertime

I've been lying awake at night thinking,
That son of a fuck dragged me down and now i'm lost
Can you help me find my long way back home?
The traffic lights are even dimmer then my past
Give me a sign,
Some kind of religion,
Allah,
Buddha
I don't care,
I don't dare to choose
One sign,
One heart,
One feeling,
One god

Cause it's one blood floating in the stream
It's one blood floating in the stream

Every day that goes i need more and more people around me,
People i can rely to
Not those fucking sellouts i read about in the papers
Whose only hope are equally dumb consumers
I'm up on that stage, i'm up here, you're down there
Does that make me more important? More intelligent?
More likely to live that happy standard life your parents sets you out to?

I don't know
- Your in a position most kids dream of
I don't know
- You can be as weak as the man sleeping on newspapers
I don't know
You're still set out to tell the dirty mans story
I don't know
- Other people are talking and thinking about you as we speak
But i've seen them out there as well
- Yeah, but you don't know them do you!?
No but they don't know me either
- Well, they think they do! They think they do!
They think they do!!!

So what do i need to get through the day?
- One blood!
What do i need to break on through the night?
- One heart!
What do i do to get along with these, these fools?
- One soul!
Why don't i just go back to the steel factory? Or the warehouse?
Or the railroad? Get the fuck out of here, get the fuck out of music,
Back to the days when we had one heart, one brain, one soul, one god

Cus it's one blood floating in the stream
It's one blood floating in the stream
Cus it's one blood floating in the stream
It's one blood floating in the stream
Cus it's one blood floating in the stream
It's one blood floating in the stream
