WHITE LIES
Lit a fire in me
And it burns burns burns
And when I try to put it out
It hurts hurts hurts
I can't remember the last time I felt
How good it is not to be scared
Stop trying to save me
No one’s coming for me baby
Stop trying to save me
It's my time to cry time to say goodbye
Lit a fire in me
And it burns burns burns
And when I try to put it out
It hurts hurts hurts
I can't remember the last time I closed my eyes
How good they feel your little white lies

PIRATES & POLITICIANS
They used to put flowers in gun barrels
I tried it once and got my face maced
And I feel just like a little girl facing a mountain of trolls
Armed with only my clothes and my words
Voluntary slavery to the debt machine
Pirates and politicians are the same thing
Give me your money and you will be saved
You bought your place in heaven don't you wish you were dead?
Mama
What have you left behind for me?
Mama
What have you left behind for me?
Mama
What did you leave behind?
I don't want it
No
There is no point in going back to the sea
All the fish are dead we've got a hit on radioactivity
Pollution everywhere I can't breath the goddam air
What have you left behind for me?
Mama

PLASTIC FLOWERS
Summertime for my obsession
Winter for my thoughts
All around us mongrels and legends
Faces in the dark
You keep on staring straight at the sun
You've got nothing to lose
Got nowhere to run
Plastic flowers don't know why
Plastic flowers make me cry
Plastic flowers never die
Fall is coming for our deception
Springtime is for our hopes
Ghosts of our lovers in every corner
Limbs going up in smoke
Plastic flowers Lord I try
Plastic flowers not to cry
Plastic flowers never die

Wouldn't Be Lying

WOULDN’T BE LYING
I took a big sip from the kettle before it boiled over
The light was coming up and I was nestled up against your shoulder
And I don't remember how or exactly when I left for good
All I know is I was lost somewhere deep inside my neighbourhood
No I wouldn't be lying
About the things that I'm trying
I wouldn't be lying
About the things that I'm trying trying trying
I took a good look into the mystery of all things dying
When the soul leaves the body and the spirit soars to keep from crying
I walked along the path and I came across a golden door
Leaving all my cares behind I won't need them there anymore
No I wouldn't be lying
Something about what you said just doesn't sit right
It's strange to find out what the truth is all about
I’ve been to the heavens with you and all the way down
But I never looked at it from where you came from
I was foolish to think that we could be
All I wanted was for us to see
When we're clear it's hard to imagine
Why one could be short and the other a distraction
Now that the time is finally over
Let's assume that we can get through
That we're love first and lie second
That we're friends and not haters
No I wouldn't be lying

BROKEN BLUES
Once I was broken
You didn't know what to say
But just by being there
You made it somehow ok
I used to turn off the lights
And listen to you pray
As you begged for piece of mind
I just hoped you would stay
But forever is coming
It’s coming to its end
Forever is just a dream I had
Forever is coming
It’s coming to its end
Forever is just a dream I had
I used to be a victim
Of cruel hypocrisy
You showed me how wrong
This world could be
And as I stood there staring
Straight into the fire
My heart was melting
In a cool desire
Before you judge another
Take a look at you're soul
Have you yourself become
Another brick in the wall
Forever is coming
It’s coming to its end
Forever is just a dream I had
Peace ain’t coming
It ain’t coming to our beds
Peace is just a dream I had
Some dream I had

ALEX
Alex was my first best friend
"Gonna see the world" is what he always said
And I begged him "take me with you"
Alex played guitar and I sang
We were gonna be in a rock n roll band
Dreaming was the only way out
Small town and alcohol
Our parents sold their goddam souls
And we were so angry
A single tear from his blue eye
As he looked at me and he said goodbye
I promised I would never forget
Alex said to his dad
If you ever lay your hands on my mom again
I swear I will kill you man
Alex came home through the kitchen door
Found his mom lying on the floor
Then he grabbed that knife
His lawyer claimed self-defense
But Alex never showed any signs of regret
So the judge he said "life"
A single tear from his blue eye
As he looked at me and he said goodbye
I promised I would never forget
How we used to ride our bikes down to the lake
Write songs about the love we'd make
Watch the fire burn deep against the cold
We promised right then to never grow old
The way the starlight how it hit the waves
Just like diamonds shining in a miners cave
We danced naked with no regrets
I promised I would never forget

Heart Is Cold

HEART IS COLD
My heart is cold for you my dear
My love grew old from pending fear
The waves are high too high to swim
I'll lose my cool if I jump in
Take everything you want
Maybe I'm just too good for you
Our sky has fallen in
But my cold heart you can't win
The days are long without you here
A winter’s song is drawing near
I've grown too old too old to dream
Each tear that falls becomes a stream
Come on now just give me a solution
I can't see it in my mind’s eye
Don't wanna deal with your delusions baby
Everybody wants to go to heaven but nobody wants to die

THE MATCH
I look at you
Do you see me too
Stars around my head
Do you know my name
I can feel your pain
It is clear today
In the middle of the night
You started up a fight
It’s the biggest show to see
You and me
Sometimes I'm a mountain
Sometimes I'm caving in
Sometimes I'm on fire
At times I'm cold as sin
It's times like these that
I just can't believe you
We step into the ring
I take the first swing
Even before the bell rings
Fists are in the air
I'm on the ropes and you don't care
Going round after round
Tonight there'll be no referee
Just me and you and you and me
Your kisses they taste so sweet
Bitter sweet
Sometimes you're a feather
Sometimes a ton of bricks
Sometimes you're my anchor
At times just a quick fix
It's times like these that
You just can't believe me
You’re a mountain
I'm caving in
When I’m on fire
You’re cold as sin
I just can't believe you

HANGING ON
I waited all night for you to come back
And when you finally did how could you treat me like that
I tried to talk sense I tried to be heard
But you wouldn't even turn and you didn't say a word
So I took a long walk to ease my head
The light was coming up and I wished that I was dead
Spinning streets like spinning tops
Falling down just to make them stop
I'm hanging on
On the line between right and wrong
All the time and when we get it on
You'll be mine I love to turn you on
You had your will and you had your way
Like oncoming traffic at the end of the day
Like a drunken bully acting real tough
So stop the damn car I wanna get off

LEAVE IT IN THE DARK
When we were love
I never knew right from wrong
Now that we're through
I still don't know what to do
I'm like a stranger wishing you I forgot
There are doors that I can enter
If you just say so I'll leave it in the dark
Leave it in the dark
Time lingers on
And I'm alone so far from home
They will wait for me
On the road to insanity

DEVILISH FOLK
She came in from the desert on a sunny afternoon
The devil was among us she was right here in this room
And you could cut the air with a knife
Drive a stake through her heart
But no one is getting out of here
Not alive
My revolution is in disconclusion
Allegations of hope
There's no room for people like you and me here
We're devilish folk
He came in from the ocean with his big green eyes
He couldn't stop pretending that he had seen the light
But the truth is as bright as the moon
You could feel the tension in this room
And I would be the first to admit
That a broken soul cannot be fixed
We're devilish folk
