Crush On You

I'm a zombie in the moonlight

I'm sleepin' when it's daylight

I really should be alright

But I'm feelin' kinda uptight

I'm messin' with a neighbour

Who killed my amp and Fender

He looked to sweet and tender

It's hard to tell his gender

Got coffee on the paper

My dog's an alligator

I want you now and later

I got a crush got a crush on you

Got a crush got a crush on you

I'm rentin' the wrong movie

I'm laughin' at the wrong guy

I'm drivin' on the wrong side

My brain is gettin' cock-eyed

The flag is never chequered

Can't find my F-beat records

God, give a little lovin'

The money's in the oven

Got dead flies in my scotch with ice

My talents always vaporize

I want your bird of paradise

I got a crush got a crush on you

Got a crush got a crush on you

Crush! Crush! We got a good thing goin' on

Crush! Crush! Such a good thing goin' on

I'm freezin' in the summer

I'm sweatin' in the winter

No middle in the centre

No colours in the printer

No treatment at the pharmacy

No lessons learned from history

No future in the factory

No meaning in the poetry

No changin' in the weather

No Elvis in the leather

I want you now or never

I got a crush got a crush on you

Got a crush got a crush on you

Wish I Could Fly

Halfway through the night

I wake up in a dream

Echoes in my head

Make every whisper turn into a scream

I dreamed I could fly

Out in the blue

Over this town

Following you

Over the trees

Subways and cars

I'd try to find out

Who you really are

In the middle of the night

Cool sweatin' in my bed

Got the windows open wide

Thinkin' about all the things you said

I wish I could fly

Out in the blue

Over this town

Following you

I'd fly over rooftops

The great boulevards

To try to find out

Who you really are

Who you really are

I wish I could fly now

Wish I could fly now

Wish I could fly now

I wish I could fly

Around and around

Over this town

The dirt on the ground

I'd follow your course

Of doors left ajar

To try to find out

Who you really are

To try to find out

Who you really are

I saw red, stayed at home

Placed a big pillow over the phone

In this town where I'm from

I've learned two is so much better than one

But you left me alone

You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Watch you sink like a stone

You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Well, you hurt to the core

You used to kiss like no one had done before

And your taste turned me on

Now you drive me real crazy just by being born

Cos you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)

And you can't put your arms around what's already gone

Watch you sink like a stone

You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Baba b-baba b-baba ba

Baba b-baba b-baba ba

Took the tram 'round the bay

Where everyone tells you to have a nice day

And my pride almost broke

When the tears don't fit you, you look like a joke

And you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)

You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Cryin' eyes gettin' worn

You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Hey, you left (left left left) me alone (left me alone)

You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Watch you sink like a stone

You can't put your arms around what's already gone

Baba b-baba b-baba ba

Baba b-baba b-baba ba

Waiting For The Rain

I'm waiting for the rain

I'm waiting for you

I'm waiting for the rain

To clean my soul

I'm waiting for the rain

Nothing's gonna be better

Without you

The day you left me

The day you came

I'll never forget you

Feel you in my pain

The time stood still

The time was flying

I wonder why

I'm not dying

I'm waiting for the sun

I'm waiting for a new day

I'm waiting for the night

To close my eyes

I'm waiting for the dark

Oh it's gonna be harder

Without you

The way we danced

I'll always miss

I'll never forget

The way we kissed

The time stood still

The time was flying

I wonder why

I'm not dying

Na na na na na

Na na na na na

Anyone

Anyone who have a love close to this

Knows what I'm saying

Anyone who wants a dream to come true

Knows how I'm feeling

All I can think of is you and me

Doing the things I wanna do

All I imagine is heaven on earth

I know it's you

Anyone who ever kissed in the rain

Knows the whole meaning

Anyone who ever stood in the light

Needs no explaining

But everything more or less appears so meaningless

Blue and cold

Walking alone through the afternoon traffic

I miss you so

Anyone who felt like I do

Anyone who wasn't ready to fall

Anyone who loved like I do

Knows it never really happens at all

It's over when it's over

What can I do about it

Now that it's over

Everything more or less is looking so meaningless

And fades to grey

Lying awake in an ocean of teardrops

I float away

Anyone who ever felt like I do

Anyone who wasn't ready to fall

Anyone who loved like I do

Knows it never really happens at all

It's over when it's over

What can I do about it

Now it's all over

It Will Take a Long, Long Time

Sunny called, I was in the hall

And made a note I have to paint the kitchen walls

An angel smiled across the room

All in all, it was a lazy afternoon

Then I thought about you

I think it was some sweet song that I heard

Got to get goin' goin' ahead

It will take a long, long time

Got to go ahead and deal with my life

It has taken such a long time this time

Sunny called, I was in the bath

And heard the rain hit the roof and tiles real hard (hit the roof real

hard/hit the roof)

Then I ran through my magazines

A few letters poorly hidden in a jar (hidden in a jar/oh what a jar!)

And I thought about you

It must have been some old pictures I found

Got to get goin' goin' ahead

It will take a long, long time, yea yea

Got to go ahead and deal with my life

It has taken such a long time this time

Inganakee leo yo

7Twenty7

7twenty7 is ready to move

You know she packed her bags

With nothing left to prove

I thought I didn't care

Now I'm fallin' through

Wouldn't you?

Well, it's a long long journey to the other side

Oh I've been wishin' all night I was on that flight

And god, you'd better take care of the sweetest eyes

I hear myself swallowin' the tears I cry I hear myself swallowin' the

tears I cry

7twenty7 is up in the air

You know I feel her hands

On me everywhere

I thought I didn't care

Now I'm saying a prayer

Hey mister, do you know the way

To salvation square?

It's a long long winter 'til the birds will sing

Oh I'll be waitin' all night for the phone to ring

I'm goin' up in smoke and phoney magazines

Everything is just pieces of my stupid dreams

Everything is just spieces of my stupid dreams

With the clouds passin' by

With the clouds passin' by

It's all right

7twenty7 is close to the sky

It carries the world

Between hello and goodbye

Like the Monday we met

That disappeared in a breath

Like the Sunday she left

Forever smellin' of death

Another jet black night, another drink to go

Oh I'll be diving my head in the pure white snow

God, you'd better take care of this gold skinned friend

Tell me, will I ever see her again

Tell me, will I ever see her again

I Was So Lucky

It's no secret I've been waiting

But I didn't expect this

Nothing will remain

Nothing stays the same

After you came

It's no secret I've been starving

I never felt anything for years

I sat up all night

Just to watch your smile

When you're sleeping

I was so lucky you came by

And turned a different corner

I could've been somewhere else

You could've passed by, could've passed by

Come on and sail the sea with me

Come on, let's go around the world

Maybe find a flat

Or a canyon house

For the season

I was so lucky you came by

And turned a different corner

It could've been someone else

You had in mind

I was so lucky you found me

My rags turned gold and silver

I could've been somewhere else

You could've passed by, could've passed by

What would you make of this, my baby?

The sun through the trees

Is there a better place to be?

I was so lucky you came by

And turned a different corner

It could have been someone else

You had in mind, oh my

I was so lucky you picked me

My trash turned to silver

Yea, I could have been somewhere else

You could've passed by, could'be passed by

Stars

You keep on walkin' on the other side

Other side, other side

You keep on walkin' on the other side

Other side, other side

Wherever you go, I'm going with you

Shouldn't you know I'm bound to follow

Whatever you say, whatever you do

I give you a clue, I'm gonna follow

And the stars will show

Where the waters flow

Where the gardens grow

That's where I'll meet you

Why don't you let me, let me come along

Na na na, na na na

Why don't you open, make me come along

Na na na, na na na

Wherever you go, I'm going for you

Oh, I was truly born to follow

Like fire and wood and paper and glue

Only a few were born to follow

And the stars will show

Where the waters flow

Where the gardens grow

That's where I'll meet you

And the sun will glow

Melting all the snow

Knowing all I know

That's where I'll meet you

Stars will show

Where the waters flow

Where the gardens grow

That's where I'll meet you

And the sun will glow

Melting all the snow

Knowing all I know

That's where I'll meet you

And the stars will show

Every breeze will blow

Knowing all I know

That's where I'll meet you

Salvation

I can barely remember my past

Everything seems to disappear so fast

But I recall being jealous and alone

Gazing at the dreams going by

I started my life when you knocked on the door

Found something inside I didn't dare to ignore

Now I do believe in flowers on the moon

I'll swim beside the golden tide

You crashed by the gate

Captured my fate

Salvation

My eyes couldn't see

I hardly breathed

I was diving so deep

Salvation

I'm down in the study holding on to my luck

Will you still love me when I call you up?

I gave you my body, the power over me

Come on, bring out the best in me

You crashed by the gate

Captured my fate

Salvation

My eyes couldn't see

I hardly breathed

My heart was asleep

Salvation

Some will get broken

Others will get lucky like me meeting you

Don't pass me by

You crashed by the gate

Captured my fate

Salvation

My eyes couldn't see

I hardly breathed

I was down on my knees

Salvation

Some will get broken

Others will get lucky like me meeting you

Don't pass me by

Don't pass me by

I found salvation, oh yea

You bring me salvation

I found salvation

Pay The Price

I try to keep your name

And still get rid of your face

I hate to be by myself

All locked away in this place

You turn me inside out

You turn me outside in

Around and upside down

A rollercoaster within

Pay the price of love

When he calls for you

You've got to

Pay the price of love

When he calls for you

I grab my big black book

And call the numbers I know

Something is melting this town

Like it was all made of snow

You turn me inside out

You turn me outside in

Around and up and down

The elevator within

Pay the price of love (ooh la la la)

When he calls for you

You've got to

Pay the price of love (ooh la la la)

When he calls for you

Spending the evening alone

With the 10 o'clock news

Looking at you through the holes

In the soles of my old brown shoes

Cooper

Cooper went out late last night

I heard the slam from her door

Foggy ways, November daze

All the white wolves were smiling

Cooper went out walkin' the clouds

She left everything in a mess

"Shut your mouth when you talk to me"

Her words were always so small

And there's a sound from the telephone

When can I say she's coming home?

Leave me the number you're dialing from

And may I ask who's calling?

May I ask who's calling?

Cooper went out, 3 o'clock sharp

I heard the bells from the church

Someone said they saw a car

Picking her up by the stations

Cooper went out and that's all there is

I'm just no one from next door

Everything will be alright

When all the flowers have cried

Then there's a voice on the telephone

When can I say she's coming home?

Leave me the number you're dialing from

And may I ask who's callin'? (Who's calling?)

May I ask who's calling? (Who's calling?)

May I ask who's calling?

Staring At The Ground

I'm staring at the ground

I'm bloodless, thrown away from the sun

What's lost cannot be found

I can't return your tears

If I ever live to be a thousand years

I'm staring at the ground

I never wished you a broken heart

Coincidence put you down

He won't withdraw those tears

If you ever lived to be a thousand years

What do I have to say to make you stay?

What do I have to do to make you happy?

I'm staring at the ground

I wish I could bring the spring to your door

To the coldest side of town

I carry your wounded dreams

Like the devil's deeds in the pocket of my jeans

What do I have to say to make you stay?

What do I have to do to make you happy?

Beautiful Things

Beautiful things

Are comin' my way

Beautiful things

I want them to stay

But after a while

My beautiful things

Don't seem beautiful at all

Terrible things

Like when you wake up

And all of your dreams

Seem to crack up

Like things you have done

Like breakin' my heart

For you it don't seem

Terrible at all

Is there someone I can talk to?

Someone on the line?

Does anybody want to hear

What's on my mind?

Beautiful things

Like leaves on a tree

Beautiful things

The sky and the sea

Since you've been gone

No beautiful things

Seem beautiful to me

Is there someone I can talk to?

Someone out there on the line?

Does anybody want to hear

What's on my mind?

Make the grass grow in the garden

When the rain is passin' by

Does anybody want to know

What's on my mind?
