Just sitting here waiting for tomorrow
As the cool breeze is blowing in
And I'm gonna stay put and wait for the morning
Whether it's gonna come or not
Oh our lo-fi marriage plans
All the games we played
All the strawberries of Scandinavia
Heaps of music
And a golden love
Joleen
Come, please come
I tried to wrap my heart in a plastic bag
Box it and hide it deep inside the fridge
Still you managed to reach in
And lure me out, somehow
My banana crumble carrot cake
And our army of little had-clad vikings
Some fresh cream and a kiss on top
Oh I wish it would always be like this
Like this
Like this
Joleen
Come, please come
Did you have to go half a world away?
Did you really have to run home?
I just want you here
Is that too much to ask?
Is that really too much to ask?
Joleen
Come, please come

Heart of Molten Gold
03:47
|
|||
The flames lie scattered across the yard
And he sighs
Just one more drunken firefight
Slashing at flames that duck and hide
But oh
He has a heart of molten gold
Sometimes it comes for him in the night
Soft, soggy steps lingering in the back of his skull
Sometimes it comes for him in the daze
Of a lover's embrace
But oh
He has a heart of molten gold
You might lay him on the anvil
You might strike hard and bold
You might feel that soft trickle
Of gold
The flames lie scattered across the yard
And he sighs
Couldn't manage even a sober firefight
Soft, soggy steps across the yard
Oh it comes to take him to a sacred place
Into a lover's embrace
But oh
He has a heart of molten gold

When I woke up
The first thing I did was to try and remember
When I got up
The first thing I did was to try and look around
Thinking "this place
it looks to unfamiliar
all sand and stone
boy I, gotta get me out"
Cos I know that you burned these holes in my eyelids
I know that you put these scars on my wrists
I'm sure that if I ever meet you again, dear
It's gonna be over
way too quick
Can you feel it,
That I've caught your scent now?
Can't you smell it,
That sweet smell of hunting someone down?
I've sharpened my fangs
I've caught your scent
And this thing ain't over 'til
Someone bleeds
Cos I know that you burned these holes in my eyelids
I know that you put these scars on my wrists
I'm sure that if I ever meet you again, dear
It's gonna be over
way too quick
Oh oh oh
Where are you?
Oh oh oh
Come get your present dear...
Cos I know that you burned these holes in my eyelids
I know that you put these scars on my wrists
I'm sure that if I ever meet you again, dear
It's gonna be over
way too quick

Julie
03:42
|

I'm sorry if I said this a million times before
And I'm sorry for being sorry
I'm sorry if someone sang this a million times before
And I'm sorry for being sorry
But you
My Julie
It was a dark and rainy night
A million years ago
It was a dark and rainy night
When I first saw you
And we stumbled upon ice cubes
And all my words jumped ship
As I drowned in your eyes
Oh and, I took you out
The very next night
Yeah, I got to take you out
Whoo!
And we drank and we drowned
But tenderly so
And then you
Took
Me
Home
Oh I'm sorry if I said this a million times before
And I'm sorry for being sorry
I'm sorry if someone sang this a million times before
And I'm sorry for being sorry
But you
My Julie
I love you

The Bite Song
02:49
|

I always thought we were meant for each other
I always thought you were meant for me
I always thought you were meant for my brother
I always thought we were meant to be
But somehow every time I see you
I can't believe you, the things you say
Oh, I don't want you anywhere near me
Just scram, and let's not try this again
Some other day
I remember when you used to push me
Off my swing and I though it meant love
I remember when you stole my lunchbox
Oh, I remember every bite you took
But somehow every time I bite you
I can't believe you the way you scream
Oh I don't want to sink my teeth in you
Just go and leave me be
Insanity ad lib.
And let's not try this again
Ever
Ever again
Please

The Leash
04:09
|

I'm wondering,
How many times must I go?
How long before you might know
if you're in for love?
If you're with me my love?
How many times must I fall?
How many times must I crawl,
pick myself up and light
my own flame
'cos nothing ever stays the same
You said my heart's not in it no more
I don't know where it's gone to
I tell you that a heart is so fickle and the mind
Is so strong
Just pick up the leash and your heart
Just might follow along
'cos it's something you do
Love is something you do
And I'm wond'ring,
How many times must I go?
How long before you might know
if you're in for love?
If you're with me my love?
How many times must I fall?
How many times must I crawl,
pick myself up and re-ignite
my own flame
'cos noone ever stays the same

Ind i skoven
04:28
|
|||
Det trækker ind af ruden og du trækker mig med
Ud i skoven, vi løber, vi løber så rask afsted
Og du er solen og jeg har tabt endnu et lille spil
Og du smiler og stråler og vi giver aldrig op
Men der er huller i jorden mens solen går ned
Og vi famler os frem, famler efter friheden et sted
Bare din ånde mod min nakke og kun feerne ser med
Og vi danser og elsker og bliver ved og ved
Helt ind i skoven
Og ud igen
Det regner sølvgrå stråler
Men vi tager fat og bliver ved
For det er sådan man gør
Det' kærlighed
Som et hul i jorden
Trækker du mig med
Men du ryster på hånden
Giver slip og glider med
Gennem mudderbrune blade
Vi holder tæt, fast og ved
Og jeg nyder din nye duft af mudder
Og det glid der følger med
Men det kribler på jorden mens solen går ned
Og vi famler os frem, famler efter friheden et sted
Bare din ånde mod min nakke og kun feerne ser med
Og vi danser og elsker og bliver ved og ved
Helt ind i skoven
Og ud igen
Det regner sølvgrå stråler
Men vi tager fat og vi bliver ved
For det er sådan man gør
Det' kærlighed

Lumsk farvand

Lumsk farvand
I lumsk farvand
En piblen, et træk og vi er på vej
Blåsort blæk under stevnen, tuschet mørke foroven
Jeg tror dig når du siger at vi har langt igen
Mens skroget fyldes centimet' for centimet'
Det' lumsk farvand
Lumsk farvand
Jeg støder på grund i dit viltre hår
Jeg farer vild et sted på dit allerinderste lår
Det' lumsk farvand
Lumsk farvand
Mon du tror mig når jeg siger
At det ikke er let
At navigere med kun hjertet til hjælp?
Mon du tror mig når jeg siger jeg er fortabt
i dig og i et
lumsk farvand?
Lumsk farvand

Mostly in Love
02:34
|
|||
There's so many times I've let you down
Oh so many times I've fooled around
But baby, hear me when I whisper
We're still here
In spite of all the pain
In spite of all our good intentions
In spite of all of our differences
We still remain, mostly the same
Mostly in love
Mostly in love
Oh, every time you call me back
And every time I scratch yours
In every way we always seem to come
Together
In spite of all the pain
In spite of our lost refrain
In spite of all of our differences
We still remain, mostly the same
Mostly in love
Mostly in love
Mostly in love

Oh. Hi, Fate
04:20
|

Give me one last taste of your knuckles
Right here on my forehead
Do me one last favour before I go
And give it your best shot
Oh, I dream of Crow
Pulling me in two
I never dream of you
All benign, blonde and bloodshot
Give me one last slice of your cake, honey cub
Right here on my forehead
Litter me good
Give me something to do
Recycling your misfortunes
Oh, my dream is black
And black's within my tongue
I give you a taste and
you hand me one back
Right here on my forehead is a scar
Right here on my forehead is my avatar
Come join yours and let us
Limb through this
Forest
Of tall
Dark
Handsome
Lies
All lies
Give me one last taste of your knuckles
Right here on my forehead
Do me one last favour before I go
And give it all you've got

Tonight
04:24
|

I think I'm going out
Taking myself for a spin
Trying on your sunshine but I'm not
Letting it in
Cos babe you know I'm
Bigger than you
Bigger than you you you and you
I'm bigger than scream
And I'm bigger than blue too
And I might take you on
Oh I might take you out for a spin
Tonight
Cos we are
Nothing but bone
Nothing but skin
Just a sample of two-shine
Look, it's simple:
Knock. And I may,
Or may not let you in
And I might take you on
Oh I might take you out for a spin
Tonight
Oh to, lick such a delicate neck
Nip such a delicate oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh
Snap back into man
And keep your eyes on the road
Cos I might take you on
Yeah I might take you out for a spin
Tonight

Tesco
06:36
|

I meant to tell you this long ago
I never meant to cause a fuzz, turn it into a show
But when I met you down the aisle at Tesco
I just didn't have it in me, to hold i back
Amidst these miles and miles of aisles
I accidentally bit my lip as we were stading over a massive pile of fizz
And you cupped my chin with your stocky little hand, the one you so loathe
Somehow I'd forgotten just how much you fire me up
T'was as if someone had plugged me with a mega-giga watt and cranked it all the way up
And little lights were dancing, uh-oh
Yeah, little lights were dancing uh-oh
Right before my very eyes
Amidst these miles and miles of aisles
But you served me but one taste of you
I didn't notice whether they carried passion fruit that day
Or whether it was simply me, being me
But I miss your long hairs clogging up my drain
And I've tried so hard to forget, to fall in love, but it just doesn't feel the same
So I spilled my guts over line number three
Amidst these miles and miles of aisles
My woman of heart of mind
Oh, for miles and miles and miles and miles and miles
Let me take you down this
Tesco aisle

Play Like Kites
03:18
|
|||
I always thought that you would be the one to pass me by
I always figured there was no reason to even try
But here we are
Here we are
I was wondering about the brown in the blue of you eyes
I was wondering what might be lurking in there
About the plains, the sea
And here I am
Here I am
And we fly
And we float
And we play like kites
And we get lost
We get lost
I never thought that we would be in for such a ride
And as your tide flushes me out I think that
It's probably for the best
So godspeed
Oh darling
Godspeed
