Lyrics


1. Crush on You

I'm a zombie in the moonlight
I'm sleepin' when it's daylight
I really should be alright
But I'm feelin' kinda uptight
I'm messin' with a neighbour
Who killed my amp and Fender
He looked to sweet and tender
It's hard to tell his gender
Got coffee on the paper
My dog's an alligator
I want you now and later
I got a crush got a crush on you
Got a crush got a crush on you

I'm rentin' the wrong movie
I'm laughin' at the wrong guy
I'm drivin' on the wrong side
My brain is gettin' cock-eyed
The flag is never chequered
Can't find my F-beat records
God, give a little lovin'
The money's in the oven
Got dead flies in my scotch with ice
My talents always vaporize
I want your bird of paradise
I got a crush got a crush on you
Got a crush got a crush on you
Crush! Crush! We got a good thing goin' on
Crush! Crush! Such a good thing goin' on

I'm freezin' in the summer
I'm sweatin' in the winter
No middle in the centre
No colours in the printer
No treatment at the pharmacy
No lessons learned from history
No future in the factory
No meaning in the poetry
No changin' in the weather
No Elvis in the leather
I want you now or never

I got a crush got a crush on you
Got a crush got a crush on you


2. Wish I Could Fly

Halfway through the night
I wake up in a dream
Echoes in my head
Make every whisper turn into a scream

I dreamed I could fly
Out in the blue
Over this town
Following you
Over the trees
Subways and cars
I'd try to find out
Who you really are

In the middle of the night
Cool sweatin' in my bed
Got the windows open wide
Thinkin' about all the things you said

I wish I could fly
Out in the blue
Over this town
Following you
I'd fly over rooftops
The great boulevards
To try to find out
Who you really are
Who you really are

I wish I could fly now
Wish I could fly now
Wish I could fly now

I wish I could fly
Around and around
Over this town
The dirt on the ground
I'd follow your course
Of doors left ajar
To try to find out
Who you really are
To try to find out
Who you really are


3. You Can't Put Your Arms Around What's Already Gone

I saw red, stayed at home
Placed a big pillow over the phone
In this town where I'm from
I've learned two is so much better than one

But you left me alone
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Watch you sink like a stone
You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Well, you hurt to the core
You used to kiss like no one had done before
And your taste turned me on
Now you drive me real crazy just by being born

Cos you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
And you can't put your arms around what's already gone
Watch you sink like a stone
You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Baba b-baba b-baba ba
Baba b-baba b-baba ba

Took the tram 'round the bay
Where everyone tells you to have a nice day
And my pride almost broke
When the tears don't fit you, you look like a joke

And you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Cryin' eyes gettin' worn
You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Hey, you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)
You can't put your arms around what's already gone
Watch you sink like a stone
You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Baba b-baba b-baba ba
Baba b-baba b-baba ba


4. Waiting for the Rain

I'm waiting for the rain
I'm waiting for you
I'm waiting for the rain
To clean my soul
I'm waiting for the rain
Nothing's gonna be better
Without you

The day you left me
The day you came
I'll never forget you
Feel you in my pain
The time stood still
The time was flying
I wonder why
I'm not dying

I'm waiting for the sun
I'm waiting for a new day
I'm waiting for the night
To close my eyes
I'm waiting for the dark
Oh it's gonna be harder
Without you

The way we danced
I'll always miss
I'll never forget
The way we kissed
The time stood still
The time was flying
I wonder why
I'm not dying

Na na na na na
Na na na na na


5. Anyone

Anyone who have a love close to this
Knows what I'm saying
Anyone who wants a dream to come true
Knows how I'm feeling

All I can think of is you and me
Doing the things I wanna do
All I imagine is heaven on earth
I know it's you

Anyone who ever kissed in the rain
Knows the whole meaning
Anyone who ever stood in the light
Needs no explaining

But everything more or less appears so meaningless
Blue and cold
Walking alone through the afternoon traffic
I miss you so

Anyone who felt like I do
Anyone who wasn't ready to fall
Anyone who loved like I do
Knows it never really happens at all
It's over when it's over
What can I do about it
Now that it's over

Everything more or less is looking so meaningless
And fades to grey
Lying awake in an ocean of teardrops
I float away

Anyone who ever felt like I do
Anyone who wasn't ready to fall
Anyone who loved like I do
Knows it never really happens at all
It's over when it's over
What can I do about it
Now it's all over


6. It Will Take a Long Long Time

Sunny called, I was in the hall
And made a note I have to paint the kitchen walls
An angel smiled across the room
All in all, it was a lazy afternoon

Then I thought about you
I think it was some sweet song that I heard

Got to get goin' goin' ahead
It will take a long, long time
Got to go ahead and deal with my life
It has taken such a long time this time

Sunny called, I was in the bath
And heard the rain hit the roof and tiles real hard (hit the roof real hard/hit the roof)
Then I ran through my magazines
A few letters poorly hidden in a jar (hidden in a jar/oh what a jar!)

And I thought about you
It must have been some old pictures I found

Got to get goin' goin' ahead
It will take a long, long time, yea yea
Got to go ahead and deal with my life
It has taken such a long time this time

Inganakee leo yo
Inganakee leo


7. 7twenty7

7twenty7 is ready to move
You know she packed her bags
With nothing left to prove
I thought I didn't care
Now I'm fallin' through
Wouldn't you?

Well, it's a long long journey to the other side
Oh I've been wishin' all night I was on that flight
And god, you'd better take care of the sweetest eyes
I hear myself swallowin' the tears I cry I hear myself swallowin' the tears I cry

7twenty7 is up in the air
You know I feel her hands
On me everywhere
I thought I didn't care
Now I'm saying a prayer
Hey mister, do you know the way
To salvation square?

It's a long long winter 'til the birds will sing
Oh I'll be waitin' all night for the phone to ring
I'm goin' up in smoke and phoney magazines
Everything is just pieces of my stupid dreams
Everything is just spieces of my stupid dreams

With the clouds passin' by
With the clouds passin' by
It's all right

7twenty7 is close to the sky
It carries the world
Between hello and goodbye
Like the Monday we met
That disappeared in a breath
Like the Sunday she left
Forever smellin' of death

Another jet black night, another drink to go
Oh I'll be diving my head in the pure white snow
God, you'd better take care of this gold skinned friend
Tell me, will I ever see her again
Tell me, will I ever see her again


8. I Was So Lucky

It's no secret I've been waiting
But I didn't expect this
Nothing will remain
Nothing stays the same
After you came

It's no secret I've been starving
I never felt anything for years
I sat up all night
Just to watch your smile
When you're sleeping

I was so lucky you came by
And turned a different corner
I could've been somewhere else
You could've passed by, could've passed by

Come on and sail the sea with me
Come on, let's go around the world
Maybe find a flat
Or a canyon house
For the season

I was so lucky you came by
And turned a different corner
It could've been someone else
You had in mind
I was so lucky you found me
My rags turned gold and silver
I could've been somewhere else
You could've passed by, could've passed by

What would you make of this, my baby?
The sun through the trees
Is there a better place to be?

I was so lucky you came by
And turned a different corner
It could have been someone else
You had in mind, oh my
I was so lucky you picked me
My trash turned to silver
Yea, I could have been somewhere else
You could've passed by, could'be passed by


9. Stars

You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
You keep on walkin' on the other side
Other side, other side
Wherever you go, I'm going with you
Shouldn't you know I'm bound to follow
Whatever you say, whatever you do
I give you a clue, I'm gonna follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you

Why don't you let me, let me come along
Na na na, na na na
Why don't you open, make me come along
Na na na, na na na
Wherever you go, I'm going for you
Oh, I was truly born to follow
Like fire and wood and paper and glue
Only a few were born to follow

And the stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

Stars will show
Where the waters flow
Where the gardens grow
That's where I'll meet you
And the sun will glow
Melting all the snow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you

And the stars will show
Every breeze will blow
Knowing all I know
That's where I'll meet you


10. Salvation

I can barely remember my past
Everything seems to disappear so fast
But I recall being jealous and alone
Gazing at the dreams going by

I started my life when you knocked on the door
Found something inside I didn't dare to ignore
Now I do believe in flowers on the moon
I'll swim beside the golden tide

You crashed by the gate
Captured my fate
Salvation
My eyes couldn't see
I hardly breathed
I was diving so deep
Salvation

I'm down in the study holding on to my luck
Will you still love me when I call you up?
I gave you my body, the power over me
Come on, bring out the best in me

You crashed by the gate
Captured my fate
Salvation
My eyes couldn't see
I hardly breathed
My heart was asleep
Salvation
Some will get broken
Others will get lucky like me meeting you
Don't pass me by

You crashed by the gate
Captured my fate
Salvation
My eyes couldn't see
I hardly breathed
I was down on my knees
Salvation
Some will get broken
Others will get lucky like me meeting you
Don't pass me by
Don't pass me by

I found salvation, oh yea
You bring me salvation
I found salvation


11. Pay the Price

I try to keep your name
And still get rid of your face
I hate to be by myself
All locked away in this place
You turn me inside out
You turn me outside in
Around and upside down
A rollercoaster within

Pay the price of love
When he calls for you
You've got to
Pay the price of love
When he calls for you

I grab my big black book
And call the numbers I know
Something is melting this town
Like it was all made of snow
You turn me inside out
You turn me outside in
Around and up and down
The elevator within

Pay the price of love (ooh la la la)
When he calls for you
You've got to
Pay the price of love (ooh la la la)
When he calls for you

Spending the evening alone
With the 10 o'clock news
Looking at you through the holes
In the soles of my old brown shoes


12. Cooper

Cooper went out late last night
I heard the slam from her door
Foggy ways, November daze
All the white wolves were smiling

Cooper went out walkin' the clouds
She left everything in a mess
"Shut your mouth when you talk to me"
Her words were always so small

And there's a sound from the telephone
When can I say she's coming home?
Leave me the number you're dialing from
And may I ask who's calling?
May I ask who's calling?

Cooper went out, 3 o'clock sharp
I heard the bells from the church
Someone said they saw a car
Picking her up by the stations

Cooper went out and that's all there is
I'm just no one from next door
Everything will be alright
When all the flowers have cried

Then there's a voice on the telephone
When can I say she's coming home?
Leave me the number you're dialing from
And may I ask who's callin'? (Who's calling?)
May I ask who's calling? (Who's calling?)
May I ask who's calling?


13. Staring at the Ground

I'm staring at the ground
I'm bloodless, thrown away from the sun
What's lost cannot be found
I can't return your tears
If I ever live to be a thousand years

I'm staring at the ground
I never wished you a broken heart
Coincidence put you down
He won't withdraw those tears
If you ever lived to be a thousand years

What do I have to say to make you stay?
What do I have to do to make you happy?

I'm staring at the ground
I wish I could bring the spring to your door
To the coldest side of town
I carry your wounded dreams
Like the devil's deeds in the pocket of my jeans

What do I have to say to make you stay?
What do I have to do to make you happy?


14. Beautiful Things

Beautiful things
Are comin' my way
Beautiful things
I want them to stay
But after a while
My beautiful things
Don't seem beautiful at all

Terrible things
Like when you wake up
And all of your dreams
Seem to crack up
Like things you have done
Like breakin' my heart
For you it don't seem
Terrible at all

Is there someone I can talk to?
Someone on the line?
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind?

Beautiful things
Like leaves on a tree
Beautiful things
The sky and the sea
Since you've been gone
No beautiful things
Seem beautiful to me

Is there someone I can talk to?
Someone out there on the line?
Does anybody want to hear
What's on my mind?

Make the grass grow in the garden
When the rain is passin' by
Does anybody want to know
What's on my mind?
