stand up
you've got to manage
I won't sympathize
anymore

and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me

you're alright
there's nothing wrong
self-sufficience please!
and get to work

and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me

you're on your own now
we won't save you
your rescue-squad
is to exhausted

and if you complain once more
you'll meet an army of me

Hyper-Ballad

we live on a mountain
right at the top
there's a beautiful view
from the top of the mountain
every morning I walk towards the edge
and throw little things off
like:
car-parts, bottles and cutlery
or whatever I find lying around

it's become a habit
a way
to start the day

I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

it's real early morning
no-one is awake
I'm back at my cliff
still throwing things off
I listen to the sounds they make
on their way down
I follow with my eyes 'til they crash
imagine what my body would sound like
slamming against those rocks

when it lands
will my eyes
be closed or open?

I go through all this
before you wake up
so I can feel happier
to be safe up here with you

The Modern Things

all the modern things
like cars and such
have always existed

they've just been waiting in a mountain
for the right moment

listening to the irritating noises
of dinosaurs and people
dabbling outside

all the modern things
have always existed
they've just been waiting

to come out
and multiply
and take over

it's their turn now...

It's Oh So Quiet

it's, oh, so quiet
it's, oh, so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...

you fall in love
zing boom
the sky up above
zing boom
is caving in
wow bam
you've never been so nuts about a guy
you wanna laugh you wanna cry
you cross your heart and hope to die

'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot

you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
so what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love

it's, oh, so quiet
it's, oh, so still
you're all alone
and so peaceful until...

you ring the bell
bim bam
you shout and you yell
hi ho ho
you broke the spell
gee, this is swell you almost have a fit
this guy is ÓgorgeÓ and I got hit
there's no mistake this is it

'til it's over and then
it's nice and quiet
but soon again
starts another big riot

you blow a fuse
zing boom
the devil cuts loose
zing boom
what's the use
wow bam
of falling in love

the sky caves in
the devil cuts loose
you blow blow blow blow blow your fuse
when you've fallen in love

ssshhhhhh...

Enjoy

I wish: I want to stay here
I wish: this be enough
I wish: I only love you
I wish: simplicity

look at the speed out there
it magnetizes me to it
and I have no fear
I'm only into this to

enjoy

I wish I'd only look
and didn't have to touch
I wish I'd only smell this
and didn't have to taste

how can I ignore?
this is sex without touching
I'm going to explore
I'm only into this to

enjoy

You've Been Flirting Again

all that she said was true
all that she said was true
give her some time
give her some space
all that she said was true

all that she meant was good
all that she meant was good
give her some time
give her some space
all that she meant was good

how you reacted was right
how you reacted was right
give her some time
give her some space
how you reacted was right

Isobel

in a forest pitch-dark
glowed the tiniest spark
it burst into flame
like me
like me

my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself

in a heart full of dust
lives a creature called lust
it surprises and scares
like me
like me

my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself

when she does it she means to
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse

nana na nana
nana na nana

in a tower of steel
nature forges a deal
to raise wonderful hell
like me
like me

my name isobel
married to myself
my love isobel
living by herself

when she does it she means to
moth delivers her message
unexplained on your collar
crawling in silence
a simple excuse

nana na nana
nana na nana
nana na nana
nana na nana

Possibly Maybe

your flirt finds me out
teases the crack in me
smittens me with hope

probably maybe probably love

as much as I definitely enjoy solitude
I wouldn't mind perhaps
spending little time with you

sometimes
sometimes

possibly maybe probably love

uncertainty excites me
baby
who knows what's going to happen?
lottery or car crash
or you'll join a cult

probably maybe possibly love

mon petit vulcan
you're eruptions and disasters
I keep calm
admiring the lava
I keep calm

possibly maybe probably love

electric shocks?
I love them!
with you dozen a day
but after a while I wonder
where's that love you promised me?

possibly maybe probably love

how can you offer me love like that?
my heart's burned
how can you offer me love like that?
I'm exhausted
leave me alone

possibly maybe probably love

since we broke up
I'm using lipstick again
I'll suck my tongue
as a remembrance of you...

I Miss You

I miss you
but I haven't met you yet
so special
but it hasn't happened yet
you are gorgeous
but I haven't met you yet
I remember
but it hasn't happened yet

and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
I will meet you

I was peaking
but it hasn't happened yet
I haven't been given
my best souvenir
I miss you
but I haven't met you yet
I know your habits
but wouldn't recognize you yet

and if you believe in dreams
or what is more important
that a dream can come true
I will meet you

I'm so impatient
I can't stand the wait
when will I get my cuddle?
who are you?

I know by now that you'll arrive
by the time I stop waiting

I miss you

Cover Me

while I crawl into the unknown
cover me
I'm going hunting for mysteries
cover me

I'm going to prove the impossible really exists

this is really dangerous
cover me
but worth all the effort
cover me

I'm going to prove the impossible really exists

Headphones

genius to fall asleep to your tape last night
so warm
sounds go through the muscles
these abstract wordless movements
they start off cells that haven't been touched before
THESE CELLS ARE VIRGINS
waking up slowly

my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
it lulled me to sleep

nothing will be the same

I'm fast asleep

I like this resonance
it elevates me
I don't recognize myself
this is very interesting

my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
it lulled me to sleep

I'm fast asleep now

I'm fast asleep

my headphones
they saved my life
your tape
it lulled me to sleep
