Like Warsaw

There's a city called Warsaw
A city called Warsaw.........
Cut my veins   Slash my wrists   Tear out my eyes
                         To wave away......
Ah, you never found out, 'cause I never said anything
       You never found out, 'cause I never said anything
You're logical, now
I said, you are my light, you are my light, are my light
Life's on my side, today
Your cold was like Warsaw on a stupid, rainy day
Your hands weak as iron when you gave love away
You gave love away, and I say
"There's always some war somewhere
 There's always some war somewhere"
Like my war fought with myself
You are my light, you are my light, you are my light
Life's on my side today
You are my light, you are my light, my only light
Life's on my side today, on my side today, today
Do you understand?
Do you understand?
Would you dare to want me?

You are my light, you are my light
My only light
Life’s on my side today

Can’t Steal These Hearts Away

It’s because they can’t see you, it’s because they can’t
The easy life goes blind, the right ones see nothing
I feel like closing down this world for a time, time, 
Because I can see you, you know I can see you
It was difficult to find myself inside if you
My god, it was difficult to find myself inside of you
I beg those who don’t see to open up their eyes and close down this world
This catherine wheel cannot survive without any justice
And I beg you who don’t want to see to open up your eyes
And close down this world
This catherine wheel cannot survive without any justice, come about
Come ‘round about
My waterfront estate, Dikabr; 
Cuddling on the floor, damn a cold winter, I dare  not touch you
My eyes feel the icefield, your age feels the weight of anger
You know I can see you, you know I can see you
    ( chorus )
You can’t steal my heart away, you can’t steal my heart away
You can’t steal my heart away
I don’t sleep for others, I can’t drag you out
But I know what I stand for, come ‘round about, Justice, 
Our wondering hearts
You can’t steal my heart away
You can’t steal my heart away
You can’t steal my heart away
You can’t
You can’t take a heart away
Heart away

Can't Steal These Hearts Away

Let Me Know

I'm the black spot in your eye, I'm the one who stays when you turn off
Your light
And let a lover rule your insanity
But I know who you'll turn to, now, when everything's lost
When everything's over, and everything will soon be over
I'm the bomb that keeps you from breathing, I'm the static cramp in your veins
I'm the mote in your eye, the one who stays
When you cry to yourself, when you're sleeping, yes, I am
I'm the one who’s there when your friends let you down
You can cut all my borders I’ll always be around
I’m the one who cares when your friends are not around
And they’re sometimes not
Cut all my borders, I’m always to be found
And you don't give a damn, and you couldn't care less
Of their lies you'd rather seek fortune
So I'll turn my back, now I'll leave you here
Let me know when you're low, I'll come running
'Cause I'm the one you'll turn to, now, when everything's lost
When everything's over, and everything's over, now, my friend
I'm the one who’s there when your friends let you down
You can cut all my borders I’ll always be around
I’m the one who cares when your friends are not around
And they’re sometimes not
Cut all my borders, I’m always to be found
Ah, let me know
Please let me know, now
I swear I'll come running
You let me know
My hands are within reach
My hands are within reach
And I mean it
This time I mean it
I mean it, love
This time I mean it.....

Let Me Know

Take  It Out!

I can walk across the floor for hours, I can bang my fists to my head
I need silence as I need amnesia, need independence, and I need loneliness
And I need to shout, oh, love
There’s a pain, just take it out, I’m in pain just take it out
I don’t belong to anyone and I never will
Never want to trust anyone
I don’t belong to anyone and I never will, but I love you still
Isn’t it good to know that I, that I’ll never touch you again?
This is a state of nothing, and I’ll do anything in the world to let you know
That I am in everything, ‘cause  I am
that I am in everything
It’s good to know
It’s good to know that someone cares for me
It’s so good to know, know, know, know
I said, it’s good to know!
1986

Take It Out!

It's Only Natural

Take a look at yourself, now
You're so trapped in your fear
You sit on a bus and you wonder for how much longer                           
You can stay in here    With all the other strangers 
Squeezing in on you, all the other strangers
You feel like killing them all
Why do we expect our belongings to be stolen when we leave our house
Unlocked? Why do we struggle to be kind and good?
Is kindness not natural enough? Is kindness not natural?
You excuse your anger, you ask why in stead of how
Stop feeling sorry, now, you're only half a person as it is
Your instincts are gone and so are mine, so are mine
But I'm searching everywhere for mine, for mine, for mine
Why do we expect our belongings to be stolen when we leave our house
Unlocked? Why do we get surprised by friendly people?
When a sranger hands me back my wallet And all the money is in it
I say, you're fucking strange, man.......?
And I get scared  I ask why in stead of how
I ask why in stead of how
But friend or enemy, look at yourself, now
To be kind is to be gold  It's not very human
To be kind is to be half
As I demand the right to give life
I want the right to take life away     'Cause that's only natural
As I demand the right to give life I want to take life as well
'Cause that's only natural, yes it is
As I demand the right to give life
I want to take life away
It's only natural
My love, my love, I want to be whole
I want to be whole, yes
Don't you
Tell me, now
Don't you?

Everyone Forgets

You sleep on needles, you play with death as you’re forced to believe
That this crap will feed you, and no one forgets what you once were
You were beautiful once
So why do you cling on to life when you’ve got no more to offer
You’ve got no more to wish for, your lights are hardly ever on, and no one
Expects you to ever be home
But you’re creeping along your lonely walls, I know I’m going to find you
Dead
Everything rots around your house, and your hair sticks on to your bloody
Scalp, and your stinking breath tells me
No more lies
Tells me of dirt behind eyes that never want to see, to everyone you’ll
Always be a whore
To me you’re nothing anymore
And it hurts that I even care enough to sometimes tell you
I sometimes tell you, but baby, everyone forgets...
You twist on your bed, your delirious as you’re forced to believe that we 
Love you
And no one forgets what you once were
You were a person once
So why do you cling on to life when you’ve got no more to offer
You’ve got no more to wish for, your lights are hardly ever on, and no one
Expects you to ever be home
But you’re creeping along your lonely walls, I know I’m going to find you
Dead
Everything rots around your house, and I don’t even want to know
What else is going on
You say, no more lies
It tells me of dirt behind eyes that never want to see
To everyone you’ll always be a whore
To me you’re nothing anymore
And it hurts that I even care enough to sometimes tell you
To sometimes tell you
But baby, everyone forgets...
Everyone forgets

I wish all my Days

Silver mornings, bursting my lungs with pleasure
tender ice in my warm hands
An all-night journey into dawn
Never felt such size in my heart
Under covers,
Your sweet within
Sent you flowers
for love and good fortune
Oh, with the tears forgotten
so soon they surface once more
The rage blooming
fermenting in my helpless hands
Will you ever, will you ever come
Never had such sparkling eyes
I wish all my days in your presence
Never felt such size in my heart
Never had such sparkling eyes
Never skipped my beats so gently
Never breathed so much
I wish all my days in your presence
Confessions are so hard
And this is one

I Wish All My Days

Forget Never The Pleasant


Pleasure may be transient, the passing may return
Come, the smiling adventurers, souls never at bay
Let this paint cover your scars, fake is tender and does not hurt
Fake is tender and does not hurt, but never lying is being untrue

Evil things will pass away, lights shine on ‘till the end of time
Evil things will pass away, lights shine on ‘till the end of time
Forget never the pleasant, forget never the pleasant

Obvious love may be restless, returning smiles
Come, the falling adventurers, open up
This song is bright as a million light years
( We’ll make it sound that way somehow )
Make truth shine, fake is tender, fake is tender and does not hurt

Evil things will pass away, lights shine on ‘till the end of time
Evil things will pass away, lights shine on ‘till the end of time
Forget never the pleasant, oh, there comes a time when it’s pleasant
Forget never the pleasant, forget never the pleasant

Pleasure may be transient even if love never lies on the open
Deserts of beauty-white, on the open deserts of beauty-white
Now, you cover your scars with my light
Fake is tender and does not hurt
Cover your scars with my light
Fake is tender and does not hurt, and

Evil things will pass away, lights shine on ‘till the end of time
Shine on, shine on, now
Shine on ‘till the end of time
Forget never the pleasant, forget never the pleasant...

Forget Never The Pleasant

Shine

I sing on empty time in times that don’t exist
I make it up as I go along
These are times, these golden moments of life
You’d shine and you’d crash my apartment at night
And we would laugh, and be drunk as hell
These times are memories, yeah, these thoughts are alive
These thoughts never happened, but they might as well
But now it’s, now it’s
Something I can’t say
This is empty time we’re walking in
I would laugh and
We would laugh, and you’d
Shine, shine
Shine ... no more

Shine

Nothing

Let me just recall
Figure it out now, let it sink in
’Cause this has been so confusing
and I’m in tatters and I don’t know why
Well, maybe, well maybe I know anyway
It’s been so tiresome
Let me just recall
And remind you, and remind you that you’ve got some explaining to do
Let me just remind you
How would I know that what you wanted was nothing at all
How would I know when you were the one who placed the call
Friend, you are no longer
I can’t figure out
Where the fuck this is taking me
My thoughts, everything is a blend and a blur
How would I know that what you wanted was nothing at all
How would I know
It’s coming to my mind now
When it happened it was a blur
It’s coming in, now
But I’m sane, I’m sane, I’m, I’m still sane
Then how would I know that what you wanted was nothing at all
How would I know when you placed the call
How would I know that what you wanted was nothing at all
This is one take, believe me
Believe me, now
This is one take, this is one take
Believe me, now
You’ve got some serious explaining to do, yeah, yeah, yeah
’Cause how would I know that what you wanted was nothing at all
Oh, I’m reeling it in, it’s sinking in, now
It was nothing, nothing
It was really nothing

Nothing

Empty Head

Here’s is a song about nothing
From an empty head
No thoughts surround me
There’s nothing I want to say
Just the ordinary, usual crap
That you don’t need to hear
And I’ll claim I never said (I’ll just turn around)
Don’t sound like anyone, maybe just you, sometimes (don’t say too much)
Just evasive, anonymous, (I sound like you now) stupid, and vain
And these claims that you’ll never hear it again
There’s no need to hear this more than once
And you never heard anything anyway
And I just close my eyes, and head away (just keep quiet, now)
And head away, (it’ll work out)
Void of thoughts (oh, fuck the lights went out)
Just happy, forever happy, forever alive
Always here, there’s no complaining (this is the reason)
’Cause I was never born, and I was never sick, and I never grew old
So I won’t die
I can’t die
This song is about nothing at all
Gotta make you smile, now
Just close your eyes, happy, happy, happy now
Hold it out
Away from yourself
Away from yourself
Just lie down with me, now
Lie down with me, now
And we’ll be happy ’cause we were never here
We just made up our own minds, just made up our own lives, made up our own love, Made up our own love
Happy, happy, happy, happy now

Empty Head

League of Nations

I tend to forget that this is not a league
I tend to forget that this is not a league
Come, you weak ones, picture this a league
Come, you weak ones, picture this a league
League of people
League of nations
League of minds
And league of worlds
We would all be alike, we would all feel the same
We could marry ourselves, marry ourselves
Come, you weak ones, let me do the thinking
Come, you weak ones, let me do the thinking in this
See, by chance, the world needs leagues
Need the ordinary, need the average
See, by chance, the world needs leagues
Need the ordinary, need the average
Come, you weak ones, let me do the thinking
I work for humanity, I work for myself
I work for you, you depend on me
I work for humanity, I work for myself
I work for you, you depend on 
League of people
League of nations
League of minds
And league of worlds
This is my league of worlds, my league of worlds
I know what you need, I know what you need
I know what you need, what you want
I know what you get, I know what you see
I know what you need, know what you want
But what you get is me
I know what you need
And it starts with you
It starts inside you....
1985

League Of Nations

From the album 'released' 2004My Kingdom

I need to feel pain in these fucking minutes
Changing into hours, and hours, and hours, and hours
‘Cause I don’t see why I don’t see I’m fading into myself
My Kingdom is a victim
My Kingdom is a victim of me
To swing high;
Is melting sun
Is believing in gods
Is loving life
Is caring for violence
Is fear of tears;
To swing high is impossible
My Kingdom, forgive me for being so evil
‘Cause this is not compassion and this is not lust
I’m not seeking sins but dying insane
Singing spirituals and drinking poisoned wine
My Kingdom, do you recall?
My Kingdom, are you there?
My Kingdom, forgive me for being so evil
Forgive me for being so evil
Come around, now
Come around
You are my Kingdom
1986
