1. BIG TV

Slow
I'm gonna settle down slow
Down to the home of
Electric life and soul

Faith
In my hands a trait
But for the word I
The light of a bitter say

And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV

If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead

Alone
I feel alone
When I'm living in a building
Like a tooth in heaven's throat

True
It's a beautiful view
But you know they're gonna set it on fire
When they feel like something new

And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV

If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead

But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel ?

So bring me to the hand of fate
The river on a new
So I can wash the empty hours away

But why can't anything be real?
Emotion like the movies feel

So bring me to the hand of fate
The river on a new arcade

And you can get me work
But I can't work for free
I've got a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV

If you can raise a star
From garbage on the street
Then you can make a modern life
For a modern girl to lead

Cause I'm living in a room downtown
With a bed and a big TV....


2. THERE GOES OUR LOVE AGAIN

There goes our love again
Forgive my heart (x2)
There goes our love again
Elate my heart and take the time
That's burning at the back of my mind
Cause I'm broken and blind
And holding up the jar of desire
There goes our love again
I didn't go far (x3)
And I came home
I didn't go far (x3)
And I came home
But he said there goes our love again
There goes our love again
Home is a desperate end
Cocoon my heart (x2)
And carry me to love again
Cocoon my heart and bring me calm
Hushing at the fear and the love
I know you're open and?
Just trying to pick my feelings undone
There goes our love again
I didn't go far (x3)
And I came home
I didn't go far (x3)
And I came home
But he said there goes our love again (x2)
There goes our love again
I didn't go far (x3)
And I came home
I didn't go far (x3)
And I came home
But he said there goes our love again (x2)
There goes our love again
I didn't go far
And I came home....

4. FIRST TIME CALLER

Darling, we're starting, she said
We go alive in a heartbeat
Waiting for something in my car
A little hope out of nothing
Through the hum on the line
She said I was a first time caller
But a long time listener
I've been waiting a while to talk to you
She said I was a first time caller
But a long time listener
I've been waiting a while to talk to you
Falling like trash from the sky
I hit a patchwork of loneliness, crooked and wild
Hung from the stars and dropped through the night
To a heatwave in hard place-lessness, neon tiles
And I got nothing but time
She said I was a first time caller
But a long time listener
I've been waiting a while to talk to you
She said I was a first time caller
But a long time listener
I've been waiting a while to talk to you
I want you to love me
More than I love you
Tell me if that's something you can do
I want you to love me
More than I love you
Tell me if that's something you can do
First time caller, long time listener
First time caller, long time listener
First time caller, long time listener
First time caller, long time listener


5. MOTHER TONGUE

The city stands high all night
Lead out and trigger like a pinball table and fire fly
And then go and fall like the edge of life
Shock through the veins of an angel of the devil the next side.

Believe you have the gun and your precious mother tongue
What do you think of mother, we say: look what you've done
And even can't remember the place you go
Or happen to replace it, who's calling on the phone?
Who's calling on the phone?

Deeping knows of the car to the sugar line
Up to the desert of the certain .. the moon shine
He said: 'what can I do to make you mine?
Kiss out the of my lips on the way to the mean time.

Believe you have the gun and your precious mother tongue
What do you think of mother, we say look what you've done
And even can't remember the place you go
Or happen to replace it, who's calling on the phone?
Who's calling on the phone?

Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue
Forgot your mother tongue

Believe you have the gun and your precious mother tongue
What do you think of mother, we say look what you've done
And even can't remember the place you go
Or happen to replace it, who's calling on the phone?
Who's calling on the phone?


6. GETTING EVEN

So if you go
And leave recklessly
We can only be me
We can only be me
That’s something I
Through the tons of my life
Never wanted to be
Never wanted to be
But if you stay
Just a bolt in the ball
Then you’ll never know
Then you’ll never know
How you could miss
Like the day light the way
You’re missing us now
You’re missing us now

So listen to some reason
There’s nothing in your dreams
But if you’re getting even
You’re getting even
Trying to get even
Better start believing
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this
Love and other nonsense we’ve made

Now if we kiss
Then the moon in the sky
We’d linger awhile
We linger awhile
So as to give just an inch more of night
But you break from my life
No more kiss no more I

But listen to some reason
There’s nothing in your dreams
But if you’re getting even
You’re getting even
Trying to get even
Better start believing
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this wrestling of conscience
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this
Love and other nonsense

It’s the worst part of the best of me, best of me
Love and trying so hard to be free
Worst of the best of me, best of me
Love and trying so hard to be free
Lonely but free
And out of love
If you’re getting even
You’re getting even (x2)
If you’re getting even
You’re getting even
Trying to get even
Better start believing
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this wrestling of conscience
I can forgive
And we can forget
Even after all this
Love and other nonsense


7. CHANGE

I'm going to miss the way I missed you.
But I'm okay if you're okay.
I've been lonely when I'm with you.
But now I'm lonely all the same.
If you need to find yourself
In the arms of someone else
I wish you on your way
But my love
I've never been too good a change
I've never been too good a change
I'm gonna miss the way I kissed you.
But I'll be brave if you'll be brave
And this is only the beginning
Although it feels just like the end
If you need to take some time
I'd surrender, love of mine.
I wouldn't make you stay
But my love,
I've never been too good a change (x8)


8. BE YOUR MAN

I wish no harm to come of you
Split bottles in shopping aisles
Cold rain in front of you
On the inside

I wish no hurt to cover you
Magazine pictures of city-life
Wax smiles, vanilla cream,
The good eyes

Make it an emergency,
I'll be your man

Free on an open ride,
Into the maple glow
Sail on the dusk, we pull
Our love in tow

I wish no guilt to trouble you
No complications on moral lines
Thick dreams of summer dew,
On the inside

I wish no scorn to follow you
I'll be your man, honey I'll be fine
Long days to tower you
Don't cry

10. TRUCKY TO LOVE

My love
Changes with the weather
And my heart
Red imitation leather

I'd give the world
But the world is never enough
For a girl
With it all
I guess
I'm just tricky to love

And it could be tricky to love

My love
A rush of every season
But vague
As time
A dedicated reason

I'd give the world
But the world is never enough
For a girl
With it all
I guess
I'm just tricky to love

I said all the right things
In all the right times
You never hear me out
I played all of your games
In all of my life
I feel so tricky to love

And it could be tricky to love (x2)

I said all the right things
In all the right times
You never hear me out
I played all of your games
In all of my life
I feel so tricky to love (x2)

And it could be tricky to love (x4)


11. HEAVEN WAIT

Heaven wait
Is your light always on?

Suzy Ashen wait
I'll swim with the safe to your door

Heaven wait
Are you but a bruise on the sky?

A morrow late
A reason to live or to die

So wait for me, wait for me, take this weight off from me (x2)

Heaven wait
If change is a world of regret

In shallow faith
(My lip hooked how mall I ascend)

So wait for me, wait for me, take this weight off from me (x4)


12. GOLDMINE

To the heat of a foreign sun,
Warm my love safe in your arms.
And the choirs of the air and sea,
Spend your love to sail home to me.
I saw her blue eyes candid in the headlight - she's got a new style,
I saw her white smile digging in the goldmine - for a new life.

This killing time is going to bruise forever,
So turn it back - better late than never.
I saw her white smile digging in the goldmine,
Girl you look tired,
Even love,
Is it even ever?

I go out and you wear it all,
To see that life goes on, if I'm there or not.
I saw (...) on the street,
Hoping when your guilt builds up, I'll find you at my feet.

I saw her blue eyes candid in the headlight - she's got a new style,
I saw her white smile digging in the goldmine - for a new life.

This killing time is going to bruise forever,
So turn it back - better late than never.
I saw her white smile digging in the goldmine,
Girl you look tired,
Even love,
Is it even ever?
Even love,
Even love.

I saw her white smile digging in the goldmine,
Girl you look tired,
Even love,
Even love.
Even love,
I saw her white smile digging in the goldmine
Girl you look tired.
