Lyrics:

After what was said
I can't help but sleep with one eye open
The integrity of what we share
Is now unconvincing
The greatest love
Both is and never was
I carry on
But I can't forget
What was said

After what was said
The things you really think of me
That's fine
Cause I think that you're pathetic really
Just like your family
The words break free
Much too easily
My best friend
I can't forget
What was said

There's a hole in everything
And I have yet to see the proof
Of friendship 'til the end
And not 3/4 the way through
Of love that perseveres
When seen in close-up too
My dear friend

A heart cannot be true
Not completely, so what to do?
I've always left just as the leaves were changing hue
Why give life the chance
To make another mockery 
Of our dear romance
Better to come and go
Honor the weeds as they are meant to grow

There's a hole in everything
And there's nothing you can do
It's always out with the old
And in with the new
No love without the whisperings
So why pretend it's otherwise
Better to be on the road
Than in a house of cards and lies
I rid myself of friendships
With fungus on the rim
Of love that had gone sour
A merciful killing
Rid of insincerities
And rid of all poison
I sent them all to hell
And nobody was left

The greatest love
Both is and never was
I carry on
But I can't forget
What was said


What Was Said

Lyrics:
You to whom 
I once ran barefoot through the snow 
In a crowd I was blind to all 
But you 

How we left 
All our family and friends behind 
For each other but now we find 
Nothing to talk about 

Nothing to talk about 
Nothing to talk about 
The one you couldn't live without 
Nothing to talk about 

We change 
We stay the same 
We change 
We stay the same 

How your face 
Came to represent all I craved 
Gave the nameless at last its name 
Now a lifetime away 

How we left 
All our family and friends behind 
For each other but now we find 
Nothing to talk about 

Nothing to talk about 
Nothing to talk about 
The one you couldn't live without 
Nothing to talk about 

We change 
We stay the same 
We change 
We stay the same 

Je me souviens de ton regard étincelant 
En route pour notre nouvelle vie 
Alors qu'ensemble, seules au monde 
Nous n'avions plus besoin des autres 
Étendues dans cette chambre 
Maintenant occupée par d'autres nous 
Les gestes tendres qui ne laissent aucune trace 
Maintenant n'ont plus leur place 

Because we've nothing to talk about 
Nothing to talk about 
The one you couldn't live without 
Nothing to talk about 

We change 
We stay the same

Nothing To Talk About

Then comes a lifetime in one night
Always a lifetime in one night

Amidst a sea of silence
Between the seas of silence
Amidst a sea of silence
One night amidst the seas of silence

A little drink will help you
A little pill will help you
A little drink will help you
A little pill or two will help you

All the rapture
All the faces
Rise and fall of civilizations

A little drink will help you
A little pill will help you
A little drink will help you
A little pill or two will help you

All the rapture
All the faces
Rise and fall of civilizations
All the rapture
All the faces
You can leave me
On the pavement

Change comes suddenly
Age comes suddenly
Not slow but suddenly

***
My mother is dead
My children don’t let me sleep
The money’s a problem
On perpetual repeat
My wife is angry
My lover’s upset

So I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
Is no waste at all
The hotter the better
I’m at home in the steam
I suspend all decisions
With seven types of cream

I don’t speak the language
In the city I live
I once followed a girl
Now I’ve ended up here

The weather is freezing
And I’ve figured it out
Blondes lead you North
Brunettes take you South
So make sure your lover
Comes from a sunny place

I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
For my wasted heart
Hotter than most can handle
You’re welcome to try
The old systems fail
Those I honed all my life

The war keeps on going
No one knows what for
A hundred years of trauma
Lead to a hundred more

Another madman in power
Cause only madmen seek power
Their eternal revenge
That time you laughed in the shower

Everyone is depressed
Everyone is displaced
We used to be together
Now we’re all over the place

I always sought newness
Now I’m retracing my steps
Seeking what’s familiar
Scattered over continents

Life without a mother
Just isn’t the same
My loyal protector
Now a bag of grain
I wish I could call her
Miss her voice and her smile

I take a shower
And let the hot water fall
A waste of water
For my soul’s recall
Just beyond the bathroom
Could be my childhood home
Being an only child
Means that you mourn alone

If I'm quick to offer my love 
It's just cause I don't believe 
Sometimes I get the suspicion 
My love is a mockery 

But for you I want to be real 
And let you in on the deal 

Come and tell me the one thing 
You don't want me to know 
It's always the only worthwhile 
Topic of discussion 

Cause it's no compliment 
To be the perfect lover 
To not share your confusion 
It's no compliment 

And if we are brave and confess 
We're not in love anymore 
We're united in our fuckedupness 
Naked upon the floor 

Cause it's no compliment 
To be the perfect lover 
To not share your confusion 
It's no compliment

##
I’m taking with me 
My memories of three 
High on the beach 
With one of each 

Down in the mud 
Up in the trees 
A bottle of wine 
What more do you need 

These things can’t last 
But they make a beautiful season 
In the tall grass 
She made a pass 

All things have their time 
And I’m doing fine 
But I’m taking with me 
My memories of three 

Nature goes on 
Long after we’re gone 
Here in this place 
How many have loved 

Life carries on 
Long after we’re gone 
Here by the sea 
Our memories of three 

I’m taking with me 
My memories of three 
High on the beach 
With one of each 

Down in the mud 
Up in the trees 
A bottle of wine 
What more do you need 

These things can’t last 
But they make a beautiful season 
In the tall grass 
She made a pass 

Life carries goes on 
Long after we’re gone 
Here by the sea 
Our memories of three
