What If I Was Wrong?

What if I was wrong (wah-wah-wah-ooo)
The kitchen drawer that's full of stuff
With nowhere else to go.
The letter home that says nothing
Gets read between the lines
That's how they found you out.
What if I was wrong (wah-wah-wah-ooo)
The empty space behind the eyes
Of someone that you used to know
All contact cut, the diaries burnt
Your memory won't erase
What she said to you
What if I was wrong (wah-wah-wah-ooo)
Just one more time around the block
I hope I get that much
No tides come in to wash away
The mess that you've been in
Can't just dance away.
What if I was wrong (wah-wah-wah-ooo)

Shitshow Downfall
04:02
|

This one has a motive for leaving
Box file lost on the stairs
This one can't look you in the eye
Her bag looks like human skin
This one can't resist a bribe
And this one's found a place to hide
Ask yourself this: have you ever felt cheated?
There's the power behind the clown
Who spreads his lies all over town
Ask it again: have you ever felt cheated?
Coming soon to a town near you
The downfall of the shitshow
This is what we're waiting for:
The downfall of the shitshow
This one's about family values
That's why there's jobs for the boys
When they get caught sweaty-handed
The old school tie gets you out of a jam
This one climbs into the fridge
If you can't stand the heat you leave
Ask yourself this: have you ever felt cheated?
There's the muck behind the brass
He'll make sure he saves his ass
Ask it again: have you ever felt cheated?
Coming soon to a town near you
The downfall of the shitshow
This is what we're waiting for:
The downfall of the shitshow
Coming soon to a town near you
The downfall of the shitshow
They rise, they fall, then away they crawl
The downfall of the shitshow

In No One's Hands
04:38

I've seen your golden sunlit towns glistening
As evening falls and time stands still
I've lived whole lives inside those moments, lucky me
Letting my mind drift where it will
Perhaps it's best I'm left in no one's hands
Something that's broken could be mended, sometimes
And if it can't: make something new
Can you explain why we're counting sands?
Just natives of the earth
Sisters, brothers all.
We're only here just for a moment, fleeting
The chance is infinitely small
That anyone should meet another, lucky us
Or that you meet no one at all
Perhaps it's best we're left in no one's hands
Just natives of the earth
Sisters, brothers all.
The traffic stops the air gets cleaner, it's beautiful
We're who we are but where are you?

When Will We Learn?
03:21

Cat's got your tongue for you
Made a rod for your back
Count on the claws of one paw
The simple eyes of wonder
Typical boys, typical noise
Making us tense, making no sense
What's in the memory box?
Light a candle, pray to a god.
It matters what you do now
Laying low don't put yourself out
When will I learn? When will I learn?
When will I learn? When will I learn?
Sharp-suited, sharp shooter
Loading bullets, counting
You can keep the heavy weather
The simple lies of power.
What have they found poking around?
Use a big stick, taking the mick
We're on a military trip
Light a fire, let's kick some ass
So ugly what you do now
Cut them down, stop stringing them up
When will we learn? When will we learn?
When will we learn? When will we learn?
In focus. Pout for you
Looking down your lenses
Painting the nails of one hand
The made-up eyes of fashion
Typical girls, diamonds and pearls
Throw me a line, meet up some time
They've got your head in a lock
Throw a shape, shakin' some ass
It matters what you do now
Making waves, get yourself out
When will we learn? When will we learn?

Draumur

Clouds make a cross of blue in the sky
Where no one looks but me, just me
She moves as though no camera's there
Her black hair and bottle green she wears
I'd swear this is a dream.
Rocks kiss the sea again and again
I watch her as she goes dancing by
Her pixie face amused, intent
Windswept hair and bottle green she wears
She reaches for my hand.
Clouds make a cross of blue in the sky
Her gestures rehearsed in mirror time
So warm, her skin she holds me there
Her black hair and bottle green she wears.
She swears this is a dream.

Boy on the Moon
04:27

Ball on a chain
Taste like a mountain
Secrets and lies take their time seeding
Got to get on, can't stand around breathing.
Oh, what have we done?
Have we lost the mojo, made the engines run?
Boy on the moon
Man of the moment
Everything counts, halfway to hell. Payback.
Wrinkles in time, cases of wine, breezes.
And this hope is glass, it's precious, fragile
Got to make it last
Safe and sound. What a world!
We can dream it could be that way
Since I joined the hopeful crowd
All my friends are in love again
Hard day at work
Broken in the evening
Cooking a book, reading some food, easing
Can't we sit down, can't stand around breathing
Oh, what will we do?
We're sending a message to the astronaut
Safe and sound. What a world!
We can dream it could be that way
Since I joined the hopeful crowd
All my friends are in love again

Out of This Mess
06:16
|

They look so bleak, these sad January days
Stuck inside, stuck inside.
Can't see the smiles on friendly faces
Passing by, passing by.
When will this end? When will I get to party?
When will I see my friends, see my lovely friends?
(Stay safe, stay sane).
When we get out of this mess
We're gonna get down
Get down and boogie.
Won't have to hide behind a mask
Get down
We're gonna drink some drinks and have some laughs
Get down and boogie
When I see my people gonna feel alright
Get down
We're gonna have a party all through the night
Get down and boogie.
When we get out of this mess
We're gonna get down
Get down and boogie.

Ne te cache pas
Tout ici va bien
Les vacances bleu
Enferment mes esprits
Notre histoire est un pays,
Une nuance de douleur.
Ne viens pas
Tout va bien se passer
Quand tu es parti
Tout ete presque perdu
Toi, tu aller partout
Je reste ici comme un fou.
Notre histoire est un pays
Une nuance de douleur
Les vacances bleu
Tout va bien se passer.

Sparks Inside a Jar
04:36
|

|
Vast scenery takes your breath away
Birds cry in the wind
What is it they say?
'We're so free'
Rocks flying through space
Circling the star
The things you won't deny
Tell us who you are
Whistle in the dark
Sparks inside a jar.
