Tracks and lyrics
The Party's Over3:56Lyrics
I couldn’t wait to be on the bottom I couldn’t wait to be on the ground You know the birds have left the party when all the ice cream’s spread around I couldn’t make you cry It’s only on the way to out of line I’m only adamant this time cause its a lie and now it’s holiday time We’re on a ride but I know that I can’t change your fucking mind I’ve arrived but now it’s night We’re alive It’s a question of who’s on the fucking right, idolizing all the whites You’re just a satellite and almost on the brink of out of height Now as we run inside, heavy metal over paradise I couldn’t wait to look at the garden and then I’ll wave my flag around And once I breathe that atmosphere in oh yeah, I‘m gonna put the hammer down Recognize that we always try to give no bad advice Why’d you have to take the pie? We’re on a ride but I know that I can’t change your fucking mind I decide not to decide Decide Yeah Decide DecideWhite House3:17Lyrics
Somewhere over the line Couldn’t afford to braid our valentine I thought no one would mind Couldn’t we buy a ray of black sunshine? Oh my god and no not happy Tried a lot but no not happy Didn’t we bite off half the world in time? White house Dotting the site Trumped-up borders Sandy beach all right Why not take ‘em alive? Went outside and no not happy Tried to climb but no not happy Wouldn’t you like to take them? (No, you better now) Wouldn’t you like to take them? (No, you better now) I’d like to take them for a ride I’ve arrived Drowning over the side Sadly underplayed and unanalyzed Bye guys After the tide A quart of Beaujolais and I’m happy A quart of Beaujolais so happy Wouldn’t you like to take them all outside? I never had it You fall I want to break it up all We want to fight fight fight it off I never had it It’s all outsideI Love The Waves5:33Lyrics
I love the waves I love the waves The doughnuts on her grave I love the waves Well, I’ve gotten it right but I’ve told it all wrong It’s the same sort of feeling as running too long In the back of my mind where it probably will be for life Wouldn’t think twice I control the reign and I divide the pain You know that I’ll behave ‘cause I love the waves Well, I’ve gotten it right but I’ve told it all wrong It’s the same sort of feeling as running too long In the depth of it all where I probably will be for life Isn’t this nice? I dreamt ahead The lever in my head The doughnuts on her grave I love the wavesWorksong2:55Lyrics
I found couldn’t walk alone I found couldn’t walk away I found I couldn’t take my job I almost threw it all away Oh no I almost threw it all away I work too hard I try to have fun And when I work too hard I gravitate to one I found I couldn’t get along I found I couldn’t get ahead I’m tired of looking at the walls I’m sick of lying in my bed I almost threw it all away I almost threw it all away I work too hard Instead of having fun And when I work too hard I never saw the sun I hear you won’t be troubled by death I feel the suction, lost, regret Isn’t it something that you left? I found couldn’t walk alone I found couldn’t walk away I found I couldn’t take my job I finally threw it all away Oh yes I finally threw it all away I finally threw it all away I work too hard Instead of having fun But when I work too hard I gotta buy a gunOk (No Way)3:17Lyrics
I’m only loving the way You only live for today I’m always giving it all to you You’re only love in the dark I think we’re jumping the shark I’m always taking it all from you Jij maakt nog koffie voor twee Ik wil vandaag nog alleen Jij drink me helemaal leeg Ik hou van jou in de nacht Jij houdt mijn hart niet meer vast Ik laat me helemaal los van jou Het komt goed, niet goed I feel like running away I feel like running today I feel like running away from you Ik ben de wind in jouw rug Ik wil mezelf weer eens terug Ik ben de wind en wil weg van jou Het komt goed, niet goed Ik neem jouw zooi nie-meer mee Ik weet niet wat ik niet weet Ik laat de hele zooi alleen With all my love in the way You always live for today I’m always taking it all from you Ik ben de wind in jouw rug Ik wil mezelf weer eens terug Ik ben de wind en wil weg met jou I feel like running away I feel like running today I feel like running away with you Het komt goed, niet goed It’s ok, no way Het komt goed, niet goed Het komt goedA Nice Idea3:25Lyrics
When I close my eyes I can see That I’ll come for you in a dream I had a nice idea for doing it We can take a walk after the show Give you one quick shove and off you’ll go There’s nothing sweeter than revenge for this Drowning, burning, explosion, poison arrow, even a gun Maybe you should just have stayed in bed I’m not the type to cry but I’m free Any time that you might want to see someone shed a tear I’ve got a nice idea for doing it For doing it Crying, trying, we’re almost done All your lying, don’t try to run Maybe you should just have stayed in bedDisappearer4:20Lyrics
I don’t know why can’t feel sometimes Why don’t you feed I don’t know what you need And you don’t know what’s it’s like to go out of your mind but it’s getting clearer Oh I don’t know why you feel so low And it’s raining tonight Yeah it’s raining all night And you don’t know what it’s like I’ve been waiting for you You’re a disappearer We sailed around and then we ran aground I can’t relay things I wondered that day And you looked over your arm said your vision was sound but I still don’t hear you This might sound weird but that was what I most feared And it’s raining tonight Yeah it’s raining all night And I don’t want to fight I’m not waiting for you You’re a disappearer And it’s raining so hard Like a rain-bearing god And you washed over the side I was waiting for you But you disappeared There’s not one light It rained all night Yeah we always know why do I feel so low Yeah I don’t wanna fight Yeah I’m waiting tonight And do you know I’m alive? I’ve been waiting for you You’re the disappearer And it’s raining tonight Yeah it’s raining all night And I don’t want to fight I’m not waiting for you You’re a disappearer Yeah it’s raining tonight And it’s raining all night Yeah you don’t know what it’s like I’ve been waiting for you You’re the disappearerIncredibly Upset2:27Lyrics
I'm incredibly upset at you cause you broke my mind and you stole my cheer Yeah I'm incredibly upset at you cause you're my best friend and you led me here If I ever quit loving you bastard you can bet I don't have blood anymore Cause I'm incredibly upset at you cause of what you do to me I'm incredibly upset at times when I couldn't find any drugs or beer And it's insane that I'm without remorse but I am of course Yet I'm on my knees If I ever found love in a basket no one else could kiss my god anymore Cause I'm incredibly upset at you cause of what you do to me A regal day Almost gonna cut you out of it Garbage disposal Never let you around did they? It’s a gumball machine They left your inner bolts A crime division Now you’re relevant I almost saw you in the sky Yes I'm incredibly upset at you cause of what you do to me Yeah I'm incredibly upset at you cause of what you do to meChained3:35Lyrics
I was walking down a lonely street I wasn’t looking but I saw a heart The weight of life in every beat I kicked the goddamn thing apart I could’ve had it but I didn’t really want it The times that I remember I didn’t really want it I could’ve had it but I couldn’t really Despite the presence of a silver clown I got the feeling I’d be there a while The sound of feet on solid ground Did someone mention castor oil? I could’ve had it but I didn’t really want it The times that I remember I didn’t really want it I could’ve had it but I couldn’t really change I was in pain I’m ashamed That we’re chained together The two of them both honestly Believed the sun au natural The love of god was killing them I’ve seen it happen once or twice I could’ve had it but I didn’t really want it The times that I remember I didn’t really want it I could’ve had it but I couldn’t really change I was in pain I’m ashamed That we’re chained together We’re chained together We’re chained together like DNAIt's Over Now4:33Lyrics
Ok I couldn’t reach you I couldn’t reach you anymore I couldn’t help you find a way out that was right outside the door I couldn’t teach you You couldn’t understand the odds I couldn’t trust you and I know why the suspicion lingered on I don’t mind I can’t stay here anymore Not unkind This exclusion’s got me raw And it’s over now I’ll never beat you no matter how I much I control You tried to force me all the way down but I dug out of the hole I don’t mind but I can’t stay here anymore It’s not unlike any decision made that’s wrong But it’s over now Yes It’s over now Yes It’s over Over Over now Yes it’s over Over Over now Wow I couldn’t get ahead You know you broke my heart I had to run away to start Another refuge Another place to be apart And now you suffer in your own house and that’s only just the start I don’t mind 'cause I can’t stand you anymore I’m not unkind The things you’ve done leave me in awe I don’t mind Yeah I can’t stay here anymore We had our time These are the boots I’m taking off ‘cause it’s over now Yes it’s over now It’s over now Yes it’s over now Yeah it’s over now Yes it’s over now How’s it going there? Wherever you are It’s a wonderful thought Everybody’s near Sending big balloons To look out for you No one knows your heartHillwatcher6:03Lyrics
I was ordered to clean up my life So I started by taking down pictures and posters I was a fine hillwatcher I had a stark blue name Don’t lack insecurity Don’t try to use confessions to build up a facade To the bed of all secrets To touch the finest hand See myself reflected In a dream I am The weight of all this sand It’s much too late Just left me under here where I may suffocate And I have claimed I’ve wasted long hours and I’m surely done No one saves the wicked or the dumb but you could have tried For fifteen minutes, say, you behold your work? I wanna give you a big hug and a big kiss Wait all day no show Wait all day no show Wait all day no show Wait all day no show I was a fine hillwatcher I left forty men standing right in front of me I don’t think that I could have told them one from another The weight of all this sand It’s much too late You left me under here where I might suffocate And I have claimed I’ve wasted long hours and I’m surely done No one saves the wicked or the dumb but you could have tried For fifteen minutes, say, you behold your work? Behold your work Behold your work Such a time is hard to find So damn old, so damn old Universe come break my mind So damn old the river lies I was ordered to clean up my life So I started by taking down pictures and posters They were old and I had taped them to the wall Every time I tore down one of the pictures The same memory fell out of my head After a while I started to get dizzy and soon they were spilling out of my ears and mouth I tried to scream but I didn’t remember how It was then that I realized that I was only dreaming and everything would be restored to my memory when I awoke So I waited and that’s all I remember
