Fight The Numbers
03:40

No one is trying to make a living here
And our differences seem to disappear.
The words you say are often so sincere
But no one else would want to interfere.
Trying not to talk about
Feelings in the place of our dreams
And a thousand wonders to discover.
And I'm wishing that I'll finish
All the things that I want done
All along, all along, all along,… All along.
There's no thirty-six thousand solutions, illusions, out there.
She's asking for the moon absolutely, in motion, beware.
Harassing on your neighbour's intrusions, she just doesn't care.
Another ounce of good sense in here won't hurt us, ever.
Trying not to worry about
Reasons you won't go out with me,
But I've had my chances for romances.
And I wish that I will finish
All the things that I want done,
So I'll fight the numbers undercover
For another,...
You and me: what's going on?
You and me: what's going wrong, all along?
All along, all along, all along, all along,…
All along, and on, and on, and on, and on, and on, we go.
use here won't hurt us, ever.

Bright Now

Never listen to radio
It only plays what I hate
Never a single thing in common with anyone else
Look in the eyes when you're shakin' hands
But don't shake'em too hard
Raise your glass to another improbable phase
And when I'll die the birds will sing making an impression
On public looking up evil dreary misconceptions
Just take me out to a restaurant
I can't go there by myself
Can't keep on watching the pictures hanging over the shelves
Keep it coming and tidy up
Make it quick and real nice
I'm used to this and I will never ever gonna go back
And when I'll die the birds will sing making an impression
On public looking up evil dreary misconceptions
As when I die the birds will sing making an impression
On public looking up evil dreary misconceptions

Solutions Cause Problems

I've been tryin' to recognize;
I've been hopin' to see the signs
On my own, on my own.
Of the amount of truth or lies
Of this endless suicide
Goin' on here on our home,
In my home with you.
I'd never wanna hear you say
It was right to do.
Just look at the results above:
I win, you lose.
No use in redefining words
Because of you.
You're ridin' over thin ice now,
So ride on through.
I've been havin' to socialize
Intermittently goin' by
To see all the friends that I know.
East and west and north and south,
Pushin' in and comin' out,
Runnin' away from the cold
Of my old story with you.
I wonder why you went away?
Skies got blue.
Just look at the results above:
I win, you lose.
No use in putting them aside:
It wouldn't be true.
You're ridin' over thin ice now,
So cry, cry, cry,...
Cry, cry, cry.

Dynamite

Ain't it strange that I've been in pain for you
Even after all you put me through?
I have just been waiting for some time
But you won't believe what I'll find,...
Dynamite,...
I just might,...
Dynamite,...
I just might,...
Dynamite,...
I just might
With dynamite.

Wash away your worries on the bay.
Wash up all your secrets in the sun.
Realize the shadowy parade.
Cupids in the sky for everyone,...
For everyone who's laughing
At someone who hasn't got the time
In turning the odds.
Waiting, hoping, longing,...
It's calling and crawling
Behind the wall of sleep.
Thirty-five,...
And pretending not to breathe.
Wash away your worries on the bay.
Wash up all your secrets in the sun.
Realise the shadowy parade.
Cupids in the sky for everyone.
For everyone,....

Calendars And Colanders

Hey there, who I want you to be
Doesn't count: you'll be all right.
Hey there, who you want me to be
Is no serious matter this time.
A fallen angel or humble tiger;
It makes no difference, you see?
Hey there, it means so much to me
To see you happy around.
Hey there, you can tell me to feel
For those who are underground.
A morning bender or fizzy talent,...
But on a walk on my side
I saw a mother with a missing eyeball.
This doesn't matter to the 'worms'
In the lodge with the republic tyrant,
As they gaze up to her
Reminding fifteen unsolved payments.
Slimed walls, cans,
And other waste on the floor,...

Just Like Last Night
04:46
|
|||
|
Do you have the time to read in my soul?
So turn off the lights and see the loopholes.
Having know-how has helped a small part
In sizing a life that works in my heart.
But here we go again, since I don't know when.
Call the movers and get shock treatment!
I will leave, and I'll still live.
I believe: listen to me one more time
Just like last night.
I ride around town to see what this town means to me.
It never even crossed my mind: this new spot should be fine (to die in).
I don't even know why you're scared with me here.
Millimetrical smiles will end this new year.
So here we go again, since I don't know when.
Call the movers and get shock treatment!
I will leave, and I'll still live.
I believe: so listen to me one more time
Just like last night.
I will leave, and I'll still live.
I believe you’ll listen to me one more time
Just like last night.
Just like last night.
Just like last night.
Just like last night.

I Won't Settle For Less
03:44
|
|||
|
Well, I’ve been lookin’ for love for such a long time now;
I know my time will come.
I’ve been goin’ around all over the place
To try to stay with someone.
It’s all right with me ‘cause I’ve seen all the world
But I won’t settle for less than what I deserve.
Had a ball with my friends last night at the track;
I know we all drank our share
But I see them dancing with the women they love
While I’m just goin’ nowhere.
Can’t find the words when I try to meet a girl
‘Cause I won’t settle for less than what I deserve.
Getting tired of cold sheets in my bed,...
Hurts so much but I like it instead
Of settling down with someone I just met.
I missed the boat,... Should have taken that train of love.
I’ve been going ‘round town, been frequenting the lounge:
Still no shadow of a soul.
Been hanging ‘round ladies I remembered from school:
They are married or they’ve grown.
While I do my share, days pass by and I get old
‘Cause I won’t settle for less than what I deserve.
Getting tired of strolling in the park,...
No hand to hold on to: it’s tearing me apart.
The reason is I do feel in my heart
That I won’t settle for less than what I deserve.
I won’t settle for less than what I deserve.
I won’t settle for less than what I deserve.

Cyan Always In Mind
04:51
|
|||
|
Since you've been gone I know my mind is wondering
To places I've been and things I've seen across the sleeve.
It's true: we walked around many a time
Without knowing for sure what we would find.
I've got cyan always in mind
Cyan always in mind
I've got cyan always in mind
Cyan always in mind
Always in mind
Back from the pub I held the waist I wanted so.
Easily close and ready to swing back and forth.
The fire was in our hands and in our hearts.
A lapse made us forget the world outside,
The world outside...
I've got cyan always in mind
And the sun is in my eyes
Cyan always in mind
Cyan always in mind
I've got cyan always in mind
And the sun is in my eyes
Cyan always in mind
Cyan always in mind
Always in mind
Cyan always in mind
Cyan always in mind
Cyan always in mind
And the sun is in my eyes
Cyan always in mind
Cyan always in mind
Always in mind
Always in mind
Always in mind
Always in mind
Yeah

Promises
04:49
|

|
Even though it is the point I'm missing,
Truth is something that I'll never listen while you talk.
Absolute is relative to nothing.
Everything else seems to be another ‘in between promises’.
Slipslide! Slipslide!
To the corner of your past, see how long you're gonna last.
That's right! That's right!
Fill your head like a balloon when he comes down to your room.
I'm missing,... I'm missing your ways.
To find the time to lose my mind again.
I'm missing,... I'm missing your ways.
I'll find the time to lose my mind away.
Trying to hide off forty missing virtues
Is not easy when you've got an asshole on your back.
Petty misdemeanors a collection;
Right above your bed you get erections in your mind: promises.
Slipslide! Slipslide!
To the corner of your past, see how long you're gonna last.
That's right! That's right!
Fill your head like a balloon when he comes down to your room.
I'm missing,... I'm missing your ways.
I'll find the time to lose my mind again.
I'm missing,... I'm missing your ways.
I'll find the time to lose my mind again.
And now this old man:
He'll do anything he can for his master plan.
And I'm wasted.
Wasted!
And now this old man:
He does anything he can to know his own plan.
And I'm wasted.
I'm wasted.
I'm wasted.
I'm wasted.
I'm wasted.
I'm wasted

You Often Destroy
04:59
|
|||
|
Time flies when you’re having funds
But you seem to forget that you forget everyone.
Poor planner: your plans went to shreds.
You turn your head around and find your ass in a mess.
You - No one ever said
Often - You meant any harm
Destroy - But you got annoyed
And you often destroyed
You often destroyed
Whatever’s left of love
The things we do for love
This crazy thing called love
The insane thing called love
Time flies when I’m having fun
But I seem to forget that I’ll be needing someone.
Poor results: I just want to quit.
But there have been some times when I thought
“Well, this is it!”
You - No I never said
Often - You’d know me any less
Destroy - But you got side-tracked
And you were hardly right
You were never right
On this thing we called love
The things we do for love
Whatever’s left of love
This insane thing called,...
Love.
Wah!

Where are you sleeping tonight?
Are you with a long fellow?
Wishing I was tall and thin.
Just like a long, long fellow.
Just like a,... Longfellow.
If you will be here tonight,
Will you be here when I'm lost?
Hoping I'll stay quiet and calm
While the light dims outside,
I am paying the cost.
I am...
"In my mind it's clear", he says,
"It happens all the time with you.
You treat me like a toy at first,
Then try to bring me back to you."
No, that isn't true:
I just need someone,...
Someone to care for me.
It’s something I can't do without.
It’s something I can't do without.
Without,...
Without,...

Not What I Am After
04:42
|

|
“Big black lady with the big hand:
Won't you take me out for a spin?
The sun is out and the streets are bright,
We'll keep it tender until he'll rise.”
...But that's not what I'm after.
I could go live in an empty town
But that's not what I'm after.
Go to dinners, go to proms,
And that's not what I'm after.
Spend gas money on the roads:
That's not what I'm after.
Well, I could do that but then it would show that;
That’s not what I'm after.
That’s not what I'm after.
Na, na, na, na, na, na.
Parlours, drive-ins, and ball games,
And that's not what I'm after.
I could get plastered, though it's lame
And that's not what I'm after.
Get tacky as shit like the rest:
That's not what I'm after.
But don’t be two-faced and stick to the best
'Cause that's not what I'm after.
That's not what I'm after.
Na, na, na, na, na, na.
'Cause that's not what I'm after.
That's not what I'm after.
That's not what I'm after.
That's not what I'm after.
That's not what I'm after.
That's not what I'm after.

The Rose Of Pillows
04:29

While the parts are aching think about the wilderness.
Who'd be wise to wait for so long?
In the books of mankind they put in a sweet caress,
As if it matters,... Manners do not matter.
And the rows of pillows when she goes to parties.
Kiss the poor old pillows when she sleeps at parties
Yeah,... Right.
Why be here old man,
Don't you know that winter has arrived?
Through the city talks of
The big surprise, the many ugly lies.
And her mind is storming
Damage in the left ear
And her brain in turmoil
Splinters swell in the rear
And the roads of pillows when she goes to parties.
Kiss the poor old pillows when she sleeps at parties
Yeah,... Right.
A load of sheets and cases,
The darker light is turned off;
Breathing on the feathers of a brand new pillow.
And her brain in turmoil,
And her mind is storming,
And her mind is storming, storming...
In the books of mankind
When she goes to parties
They put in a sweet caress
When she goes to parties.
When she sleeps at parties,...

His Antique Thoughts
03:32
|

|
Obsessions of old
Trying to haunt me.
I got stuck
With the past.
It came here
Hand delivered
As a souvenir
Made in brass.
Well, his antique thoughts:
It’s no shame,...
He kept the key
Very distant
In his last hour
Of existence.
Reclined in my arms
Strangely confident,
Because the words
Gave the evidence of,...
Of his antique thoughts:
It’s no shame.
No shame. , no shame, no shame,...
It's no shame.
