Weekend Lovers
03:20
|
|||
once in a while we steal some time to hit the road
like a bunch of weekend lovers
lose track of time, I think I'm blind, you're not really mine
but the mystery still hovers
get it straight, time to cultivate or alienate
keeping all the good times
forget our fears, lies through the years
and we're moving around
despite our doubts and the promises
we still can't decide and it all comes down
feels like we're spinning round
once in a while we steal some time to hit the road
like a bunch of weekend lovers
lose track of time, I think I'm blind, you're not really mine
but the mystery still hovers
get it straight, time to cultivate or alienate
keeping all the good times
forget our fears, lies through the years
and we're moving around
despite our doubts and the promises
we still can't decide and it all comes down
feels like we're spinning round

Sorrow
02:56
|
|||
you say that it's alright, I can't believe you
there's a secret sorrow hanging over you
do you think we can try it?
do you think we can work things out?
broken promises, that's what life is about
you can share the pain with me
I can wait until it's over
all the dreams have now wore thin
we are dead inside and sober
you stare at the skyline seeking for the truth
dive in the colours to rearrange your youth
all that you lived for
seems to fade away
someone is drowning, another soul betrayed
you can share the pain with me
I can wait until it's over
all the dreams have now wore thin
we are dead inside and sober

Evening Gown
02:30
|
|||
she's a seasoned prophet dancing on the beach
then she floats above with an air of grief
till she lands on the water skipping sacred stones
she wears the strangest stars on her evening gown
duplicates the words of forgotten souls
and she stares at the stillness of a thousand winds
collecting promises and spreading them across the breeze
you can see her singing rhymes to a bottomless well
she wears the strangest stars on her evening gown
duplicates the words of forgotten souls
she wears the strangest stars on her evening gown
duplicates the words of forgotten souls

Larry the King
03:11
|

Larry the King is a four track operator
he did some production for the military band
later on, he did music for the movies
he never had in mind to become a star
Larry the King never drinks coffee
you will never see him high on drugs
he's only obsessed with the pineapple juices
add some milk, let him do the math
and the girls in the van would say:
"Larry, can we go any faster?"
he would laugh like a five-year-old
who is plotting disasters
Larry the King is a freak of a nature
his intelligence overcomes the average man
he drowns himself in a river of samples
he promised me he would never start a band
and the girls in the van would say:
"Larry, can we go any faster?"
he would laugh like a five-year-old
who is plotting disasters
and the girls in the van would say:
"Larry, can we go any faster?"
Larry, Larry, Larry, quite contrary
he would laugh like a five-year-old
who is having fun

Those Stormy Eyes
01:25
|
|||
those stormy eyes have seen so much to talk about it
magic in disguise, it goes around without a warning
they've seen the sun, they've seen the skies
they've seen the ever-changing light
those tired eyes can't find no rest or comfort zone
magic in disguise, they seek redemption through this song
I've seen the moon, I've shut the blinds
I've watched the ever-turning tides

Notions
02:51
|

Hazy Jane lost her mind
sacred spirits so naive
burn the bridge, hum the tune
bring the fairness, spoil the kids
now the silence takes its form
ringing voices, where you've been?
have you travelled way too low?
have you vanished from the scene?
we rise into this perfect motion
oh, to fly again
γυαλιστερές επιφάνεις, σκάρτες διαφάνειες
τα ποντίκια στέκονται μπροστά στο laptop
και λοιδορούν
Hazy Jane lost her mind
sacred spirits so naive
burn the bridge, hum the tune
bring the fairness we can use
now the silence takes its form
ringing voices, where you've been?
have you travelled way too low?
have you vanished from the scene?
we rise into this perfect motion
oh, to fly again
we fall in a cascade of notions
oh, to learn again

The Warmest Colour
03:01
|
|||
give it time and maybe learn to shine
let your life blessed with your passions
step outside, crawling back inside
there's no pride left in this madhouse
learn to fall, now you're on your own
the love of your life is the girl next door
break the vows, survive anyhow
all is dream, all is forgotten
exposing all your silver babies
out on the desert shore
place them on the crimson carpet
that lies on the ocean floor
give it time, maybe learn to smile
all your life, roaming through darkness
I could see the design, hear your muted cries
telling lies, prepare some confessions
exposing all your silver babies
out on the desert shore
place them on the crimson carpet
all in a row, all in a row

Couples

Precious Lisa, you need a man
I have to earn before I learn to spend
got to admit that our distance grows
Sweet Ophelia, let the burden flow
every now and then I'm touching your soul
got to admit that we need to let it go
Lady Banana, touch me there
I can feel the weight on your neck
let's get together and shove it all to heck
everything's brighter now
and we found a way to grow
isn't it funny how
everything took its round?

Idolize You
02:29
|
|||
seal your boogie nights with class and deceit
glorify all you've got to say
rest your weary head, ignore your beliefs
starting all over again
in all your parades and dances
I'm looking for the one
who can stand in your way
you don't care about anything at all
you just mind your own business
your compassion is nowhere to be found
your mongrel eyes defy restraints
in all your parades and dances
I'm looking for the one
who can stand in your way
stand in your way
blame it on the eerie state that we're in
interweaven with loads of confusion
isolating the most precious sentiment
I found out you're something else
no one doubts about your prevalence
but turn it around
keep your feet on the ground
keep your feet on the ground

lift me higher, quicken the pace for the carnival fest
your desire has begun to create all this mess
lift me higher, quicken the pace for the carnival fest
your desire has begun to create all this mess
let the sunlight play around your hair with grace
rejoice and sing along
this monster they've built, has to be taken down
we'll cover its screams with our song
there's no one to point the finger at
it's a hell of our own device
you can't blame the authorities
the enemy nestles inside us
we belong to the silly race
that fucks around and never takes the blame
hurting each other
we're attached to a phony world
with Facebook addicts and semi-precious whores
drowning each other
we should turn it upside down
stop the pretense, try to find the light
helping each other
'cause inside these dirty deeds
there's a spark that shines for you and me
loving each other
