i'm trying to be happy oh ho for you all
and i don't see why i should bother anymore
its no use i feel sad
i don't know why i'm walking back and forth again
i don't know who i would even run into
it’s no use i'm all alone
it's no use i feel sad
i'm sick of cleaning after myself all the time
maybe if i had skin id keep it on my spine
its no use i'm feeling scared
its no use cos i don't care
you sent a postcard and it said
well here i am in london wishing you were here
today we went to a huge market in notting hill
and then we took the tube to the tate museum
i'm feeling more cultured already !

Still Unsure Yet
04:45

this is a hotel changing balances
i don't need to make any more sense
i guess the traveling cost me a pen
i'm through with everything
i've got nothing left to show for
to live for at all
but i don't know
maybe i
could sell back to you
back to you
i'm going back and forth
inside my head
i'm not concerned with writing good or bad
i think that services rendered to me
cost me a pretty penny again
i've heard this before
it's all a delusion to me
but i don't know
maybe i
could sell back to you
back to you

Sweet Desire
02:40
|

sweet desire i play this song to you
crushing hard i hold my head for you
and its true
i walk with my head down
in the rain
and in my heart its not the same
its a feeling from deep inside
and its painful to try to hide it
cold desire you chill me to the bone
warm fire ive lost my sight of you
and its you
i look long and hard for you
with no sign
i think im running out of time
its a feeling that knows what i am
as for the pain i dont give a damn
when i have love
and id give some
if youd give me the chance
sweet desire why do you make me tired
my mind can only fuel yr flames
and crowd my heart with silly games
oh no
i can feel it begin again
that lonesome feeling of everything
dreams of love are never good
and i feel as if my sweat is blood
but for you id do anything
cos anything is worth it

Soft to the Touch
03:08
|

there is a skip to your step as you walk away
you add a snap to the beat of your own step
you got a reason to be so happy ma’am
yes i do
i ran into an old friend of mine
it was a genuine surprise
we laughed and oh it felt
soft to the touch
we exchange pleasantries and move away
on the way back to my house i wonder
will there be time for me to write this down
yes there will
i got all the time in the world
i got all the ink in the world
i put my hand on the page it’s
soft to the touch
there is a skip to your step as you walk away
you add a snap to the beat of your own step
you got a reason to be so happy now?
well yes i do

Hang in There, Sailor!
02:03
|

if i am now awake
why does this feel the same
is it cos i’ve been holding on
to any thread i find
or is it cos ive given up
and said all my goodbyes
or maybe i just realized
this could be worse than i thought
so if i have moved along
then please tell me oh tell me
why do you keep me asleep

Little Viking
03:45

its been a long long time
since ive seen my friend
and now ive almost reached
the end of my days
its time again i wanna see you
i wanna tell you how much i thought ive thought about you…
its took awhile but i am
im back where i belong
i had to ask some friends
where you now live
well i ran and i ran and i ran
and there i was standing outside yr house
i saw you standing by yr car
you saw me but you looked away
where did you go? couldn’t you tell?
i’m back after oh so many years
i missed you my little viking
but you turned around, you turned around…
as i watched you drive away
your brother saw me there
he ran to me he hugged me
but it was just no use, oh…
well i cried and i cried and i cried and i cried
cos you no longer knew me
he tried and he tried and he tried and he tried
to make me feel better
where did you go? couldn’t you tell?
i’m back after oh so many years
i missed you my little viking
but you turned around, you turned around…
i used to be your bestest friend
we used to do so many things
we won at dodgeball, we walked on the moon
we broke the records, we did it all…
we beat up the ocean

It Would Be Nice
03:11
|
|||
if the temperature would drop
if the heat wave would stop
if we weren’t stuck in drought
would you hold my hand?
id like you to because
it would be nice
if we weren’t stuck in war
if the edges weren’t so torn
if we could go without,
would you pick me up
at quarter to two today?
it would be nice
if we didn’t have our lives
to get in the way
if we give this up
would you be with me?
i’d like you to because
it would be nice

Hello, World.
03:54
|
|||
i've had some ideas of what we could do today
maybe catch a film and laugh and hold hands
but no, not this time
i think that's a great notion but it's not for us
maybe later on we'll laugh as you dreamt it
but no, not this time

All Things Being Equal
03:05
|

ive got a reason to stay here
ive got a reason to live here
ive never that much to say
ive never had that much to do
no one matters when we’ve
got our houses to breathe
i’ve got a lampshade with red palm fronds
i’ve got a lampshade with blue roses
i’ve got a number next to a name
and i can’t remember is yours the same
i think i’ll call at a later time
you’ll ask and i’ll say that i feel fine
is this really true?
i had a muffin and coffee
ive had better but its fine with me
i think the crickets irritate me
i chuckle and remember that i’m lonely
no one matters when we’ve
got our houses to breathe

Or Even a Telescope
03:14

where is panic when i need her?
and where is panic when i'm sad?
you know, i thought i had this figured out
but the answer was no
i wish it was yes
and she wrote it out in poetry
and she wrote it out in prose
she cut the apples to their cores
but she left in the worms
we ate them, of course
she left them for us
to do what we must do
where is panic when i need her?
and where is panic when i'm sad?
you know, i thought i had this figured out
but the answer was no
i wish it was yes

I Think It Would
04:28
|
|||
so, i’ve said
everything i thought that i could say to you
i think it would
it would be nice if we could see things through
but now
here we are
trading breaths and space is this how it’s to be?
and i think it would
it would be nice if i could try to give this up
i’d give you up
you deserve to be loved like someone else could try
and it would be nice
if i was that someone but i’m not
so go
and now
here we are
we are far apart on separate ends of life
so then
do you every think of us and say
it would be nice
it would be nice
yes, i think it would
