Discography

I wanna taste from the cup of the world
until I’m close to her
I wanna taste from the juice of her burden
Until I’m lonelier than I have ever been

Funny as my dreams am I
Neither my dreams
Nor their lives
Could describe

What I was looking for at the bus stop
I was heading to
My thoughts are rich when I say they were bankrupt
As we drove through the land of work and holiday

Funny as my life am I
Neither a book
Nor a lie
Could describe

How I’m gonna feel on the top of the world
Or least close to that
I am blessed with a remarkable will
You need for eternal rest

Funny as myself am I
I never again will obey
To academic ties
And hypocrite lies

There was a girl
Who went in gloom
She didn’t believe
That she would ever walk in bloom
She thought that she would die
Lonely and real soon

She was never good
In climbing trees
Her worst subjects
Were love and life esteem
She needed a teacher
To tell her what that means

We kissed until we fell asleep

She was quite handy
With her knife
And Joy Division
Was the soundtrack of her life
I was miming the sentry
Reminding me to be
On the qui vive

She felt as if
She was condemned
How could I ever keep her
From a sorry end
When words and doings
Tend to be misunderstood

We kissed until I fell asleep

Oh what a pleasure you’re going through
A feeling you just can’t hide
There’s something right
Something right

Pallets of shit laying on your back
Nothing was hunky-dory
Now what is this
What is this

Somewhere along the dirt
There is a flower growing
Has heaven heard
You were sure to be
The saddest person
In late history
I can only say that’s something
I have never claimed

Oh what a pleasure you’re going through
This feeling that’s oh so archaic
There’s something right
Something right

Masses of shit pushing down your back
Nothing was hunky-dory
Now what is this
What is this

You’re moving over there
Trying to examine
Its intrinsic nature
Maybe it’s just a dole
But at least there’s
An ace in the hole
I can only say that’s something
I have never had

Feelings had never been equal
It didn’t matter much
Love from a distance
Ever paid me well enough

Time poured some kind of sickness
Right over my mind
One day causing weakness
But there you stood among them all

Oh! You get me away
With your hands upon the wheel
But it’s not enough tonight
As I’m starting to cry
Your hand flows on my knees
But still it’s not enough tonight

Head’s numb – echoes at a distance
Well-intended words
Heightening my trance
All my pleas go by unheard

Oh! You get me away
With your hands upon the wheel
But it’s not enough tonight
As I’m starting to cry
Your hand flows on my knees
And that is just too much to die

I’m in your hands
Not in your arms
Not in your heart

I could spend my whole day night
To praise the light
Leaving your holy eyes

I’d be served with a sole delight
It’s just reminding me
Us sharing a second’s time

My love, as you went
I felt indifferent to all end

I will save this time forever
I will save this time
For all the things you’ve brought so lightly
I will save this time forever

My head is crammed with mnemonic rhymes
As I can’t combine
But I really understand this time

You were born under a wandering star
Assigned by lot
There are so many hearts to open up

Oh I’ve never felt so glad
To fail to forget

I have become a small part of your past
While you will forget me I’ll carry your cast
I will never call on you unasked
Because I really understand
I really understand this time

Lately we’ve built up quite a mess
Talking at cross purposes, oh my
It sure was hard to watch out tongues
At least you had one too much that slung your mind
To play that show among our pals
Was really not respectable, oh my
Shouldn’t wonder if they let us down
Did you notice the revulsion round their eyes

So ring, ring, ring
And meet me out at the rainbow ruins
Let’s pretend we don’t know
Each other by heart
And I will dispense with a pointed remark

Where has all this hatred accrued
Is it love astray or is it a new-grown sprout
All plans of circling oceans round
End in the puddle next to our house
How could we hope to work out well
When even Zeus and Hera – god! – fell out
Inane endeavours here we come
We’ll pull the moon off from the sun – watch out!

So ring, ring, ring
And meet me out at the rainbow ruins
Let’s pretend we don’t know
Each other at all
And you should cut off your hysterical bark

Another afternoon in a desperate mood
So I gave myself into something
I’d always postponed to do
All that I’d absorbed through a pen on dried wood
Into letters, words conjuring up emotions
That might shake the guts
And break some silent tears loose

Then I started to breathe
Listening to the wind
Let my hand flow all along
It drew an orphan of blooming talents
Between love and faith just could not balance
He had to choose
It seemed to tear him right in two

His intimate compliment threw light on his doom
So he left what’s sound and sacred
In his yearning for truth
Suffering every pleasure beneath the mirroring moon
Enjoying every pain
A synergy of lust and shame
Philosophies to throw away
To skin the universal ways and years
That left him sound out of tune

The storms in his head made him reel
All desperate to the heel
Until he couldn’t move at all
Then he started to breathe
Listening to the wind
Let his hand flow all along
With his last stroke he was struck by a lightning
Drawing illusions ever kept up inside him
Now he could see the big picture we’re all in

We’re falling in love
Heaven cried
Now you’ve your way
And I’ve found mine

Human’s work
Separating minds
We’re one anyhow
In our blood entwined

You
You and I
Fell in love
But we both know
That it’s not to last
Cause the love we needed
Got used up in the past
I fail to spare
Us to compare
Us with nature
We’re fallen leaves
Bound in turmoil
But the leaves so wilted
Turn into humus soil
That turns to oil
That will be despoiled
To fool ourselves
No there’s no need
Some are lucky
And we’re always
On a losing streak

I enforced a smile
As I could not face
That you kept me
Waiting long, my love
So long, my love

So you think you’re in love
A folly neither me nor you could solve
So you think you’ve found luck
Through the barrel of a gun into thin air

I walked a mile
And it felt like ages
Until the field took me
In its maw, my love
It felt warm, my love
