We were young, well not so young
We had already kissed with tongue
We didn't need another chance
We just really couldn't stop to dance
My head against your belly
Instead of watching telly
We were crazy, not that crazy
We had already felt this lazy
We didn't need another way
We just really couldn't stop to say
"Another toast with jelly?..."
Instead of watching telly
We had time, so much time
I was yours and you were mine
We had so many, many dreams
We'd spent the whole day in museums
"I love this Botticelli…"
Instead of watching telly

Evelyn

Evelyn... please make no sound
Please, not right now
Just let the waves... come back to us
Don't be afraid
They're on their way
Just let the waves... come back to us
Let's sing like we used to sing...
Let's do what we used to do...
Let's sing like we used to sing...
Let's be just me and you
Evelyn... choose the home you want
On this waterfront
Just let the waves... come back to us
We're half the world apart
Nowhere to start
But just let the waves... come back to us
Let's sing like we used to sing...
Let's do what we used to do...
Let's sing like we used to sing...
Let's be just me and you

Needless To Say
03:01

Needless to say she's on the move
(I’ll go this way)
Needless to say she's on her way to him
(pa ra ra...)
Needless to say she's on her back
(I’ll turn this way)
Needless to say she's on the run and
Running out of love…
Running out of love…
The northern sky was passing by
I tried to figure out the colour...
(of your eyes)
The northern sky was passing by
I'd like to figure out the touch...
(of your skin)
What do you mean with what...
What do you mean with what do you mean?

Black Sun
01:42
|
|||
The way we talked to each other
The way we tried not to bother
The way that you came undone
You were my black sun
The way you waited for me
The way you made me believe
The way we had so much fun
You were my black sun
Hallucinated eyes
Quick as a gun
A part of me dies
With you my black sun

If only you could love me back
If only you could look at me like that
Tell me if maybe means never
'Cause I'm not feeling very clever
If only this was possible
If only love wasn't an obstacle
Tell me if somewhere means here
'Cause I'm not seeing it very clear (my dear...)
When at night I close my eyes
(you’re always there)
Shining bright in the dark
(you’re always there)
Like if I was looking at you for too long...
Two bodies can't be together in the same space
I will say it in your face
If only I could tell you this
If only I could steal you a kiss
Tell me if someday means now
Because I'm not seeing it somehow
When at night I close my eyes
(you’re always there)
Shining bright in the dark
(you’re always there)
Like if I was looking at you for too long...
Two bodies can't be together in the same space
I will say it in your face

So Far
04:00
|
|||
You went away
On a sunny day
In the morning
You said, I don't want to be found
You said, I don't wanna stay
On this sunny day
In the corner
Waiting for then to be now
I said it's ok
Wherever you are
I thought you would say...
I thought that you weren't so far

Yellow Leaf
01:53
|
|||
Yellow leaf, your colour doesn't deceive
You've been in the sun for too long
And you're tired of being among
You're tired of being among...
All the others
Yellow leaf, you reach the ground with relief
You've been in the wind for too long
And you're tired of going along
You're tired of going along...
With all the others
I'd love to go deep under with you
I'd love to go underneath the dust with you
I'd love to go deep under, it's true
Oh, yellow leaf, I'd love to go with you

A Bad Hair Day
02:00
|
|||
I was having a bad hair day
And you came to me just to say
Your sneakers are just like mine
I felt a shiver down my spine…
I was waiting for the bus
Wishing it would wait for us
Maybe later I can call you
I didn't know what to do...
He was playing basketball
And I was standing by the wall
She's so pretty... Hey! Wanna play?
I didn't know what to say...
I was feeling oh so sad
The math teacher was really bad
What you're doing after school?
I know what it would be cool...
Shall I tell him I'm feeling fine?
Shall I tell her I'm feeling alright?
Shall I say we'll be together,
For a long, long time?

Last Night Blues
02:56
|
|||
Last night I drank too much
Maybe that wasn't quite such
A good idea... Oh, Maria...
Last night I talked way too much
At some point I was speaking Dutch
#?*/&%"º, Oh, Maria...
You got mad
Cause I wouldn't stop
And I got sad
Cause I was just a flop… and I couldn't stop
Last night I went too far
I'm glad I wasn't driving a car
Oh, Maria... Or I'd be in Korea...
You got mad
Cause I wouldn't stop
And I got sad
Cause I was just a flop… and I couldn't stop
Last night I crawled into a bar
It was then you said ‘au revoir’
And just later I found that it means ‘see ya’
Just later I found that it means ‘see ya’
Maria...
You're the closest thing to heaven
And we were only seven...
You're the closest thing to heaven
And we were only seventeen

What I Really Love Is
01:20
|
|||
I love Buddy Holly's Peggy Sue
It makes me sing and sing like this
And I jump like a kangaroo
But what I really love is...
I love the smell of something new
I love the sunny days like this
I love to simply have no clue
But what I really love is...
I love that smelly cat, it's true
I love cozy rooms like this
I love the way that flower grew
But what I really love is...
This is how music fills my silence
This is how music fits my pain
This is how music fits my silence
And so I sing it once again
I love when someone gets the flu
I love simple songs like this
I love a quiet dinner too
But what I really love is... you

The Place
03:48
|
|||
Sidewalkingland is the place
Sidewalkingland is the bones that I'm growing
Sidewalkingland is the place
Sidewalkingland is the pace of my pacing
Windowgazingland is the place
Windowgazingland is the glass that I'm licking
Windowgazingland is the place
Windowgazingland is the face that I'm facing
Apathyland is the place
Apathyland's the moan that I'm moaning
Apathyland is the place
Apathyland's the thought that I'm thinking
I've made it through this
And I have nothing to say
Feel free to go away

Empty Picture Frames

There was an old piano inside the old house. Rec was on and we didn't know. And so it ends.
