Continuity 01:40
There is a pain Which says a lot His lashes closing on a tear. To listen, to say: “Despite, despite it all We’re here, we’re here.” Walking at dawn I stop at every mirror of each car to see What you last saw of me.

Tapuz 9 02:37
You’re waiting, I’m here and you’re waiting You’re waiting, I’m here and you’re waiting But there won’t be no wedding. there won’t be no wedding there won’t be no wedding There won’t be, no. Oh, I know I promised But all those boys on the tram Got me so confused I can’t choose! Oh I know I promised I know I promised I know I promised Oh, too bad, well Tearing up the laces of my wedding gown I refuse to cut my hair After drinking all that wine There’s no use to go upstairs And now you’re waiting I’m here and you’re waiting You’re waiting, I’m here and you’re waiting…

His wounds have already suppurated When we’ve seen him last His soul had been that of a broken man When we’ve seen him last And all his broken words strolled down to the lake Telling us all it was a big mistake Her bones were already far too scattered When we’ve seen her last Her heart had been left old and swollen When we’ve seen her last And all her drunken tears swam back to the sea Telling us all there was nothing left to see The story of a death of a parent The oldest one in our book The story of a death of a parent The oddest one. His wounds have already suppurated.

Microwave 03:07
Looking for my little maid girl She’s gone out of this town Everything is oh so messy And I am left undone Who will love me When you don’t love me? And who will seek me When you don’t seek me? You should know I still keep A train number, a name of a band On a picture: a type handling his car But that is all behind us now Now that we have a microwave Now that we have Solutions.

Sea My Eyes 01:49
See my eyes weeping See my smile curving I know that I have fallen again But he steps into the other room Just to avoid my gaze

GoNowFool 02:57
Take me where your belt is Lying, take me to the chair Then the window where I wait for the bells To quiet me and they Come with wind too cool So go now gonow gonowfool I’m tired of just watching them I’m tired of just watching them I’m tired of just watching them I know I know he thinks about it I know I know how good it feels To have a girl so Leaning on you Her closed eyes Soft Against Your breast Her drowsy innocence At your disposal And you are honest Honestly You think you’ve Known her All your life. My body functions It’s a tool It’s old and oily Made of steel My body functions somehow still Somewhat ill It sweats on Neglected tormented, wishing it were other Neglected tormented, wishing it were other Take me where your belt is Lying, take me to the chair Then the window where I wait for the bells To quiet me and they Come with wind too cool So go now gonow gonowfool Neglected tormented, wishing it were other And you are honest Honestly You think you’ve Known her All your life. I’m tired of just watching them. I’m tired of just watching them. Take me where your belt is Lying, take me to the chair Then the window where I wait for the bells To quiet me and they Come with wind too cool So go now gonow gonowfool

Keltish 02:03
When she told me he was there yesterday Something in me died And today quite unsurprisingly Other things have died beside I’m not the saint that people make of me All my virtues are in vain I’m vain I’m vain I’m vain Don’t you lay your precious trust in me I am bound to let you fall In my dreams no lover is haunting me It is I who haunt them all I’m not the saint that people make of me All my counsels are in vain I’m vain, I’m vain, I’m vain. I will soon demand your secrets But I’ll stay as blank as dead And tomorrow quite unsurprisingly I will look from my deathbed I’m not the saint that people make of me All my sorrows are in vain I’m vain I’m vain I’m vain

It’s just as easy as it seems. It’s just as easy as it seems. Why won’t you take my word for it? I sink, I dive I think, I care I think, I dive I sink, I care All of a sudden I was facing the ground All of a sudden there were people around me They were gathering all around And they were asking all sorts of questions They were asking do I need a glass of water? Where do I come from? Do I need to be taken home? And I was saving my skin And I was saving my fare Just to save my affair It’s just as easy as it seems It’s just as easy as it seems Why won’t you take my word for it? I sink I dive I think I care I think I dive I sink I care All of a sudden you were facing my heart and you were standing on the balcony and throwing my stuff downstairs and you said: “take your clothes and take your stockings take your fluffy cat away and I don’t ever wanna see you and don’t you ever come back here” and you were hurling me away and, and I was saying: “please, baby, please, just give me one more chance and you, and I was… and I was… and I didn’t know what to do and I didn’t know where to turn and I just didn’t wanna lose you. I sink I dive I think I care I sink I dive I think I care I sink I care I think I dive Nowhere

Corridor 02:00
I search: salvation In the corridor But when the clock rings nine I’m searching no more You haunt me when I’m green And you try me till I’m tired And I’m tired of these things And I want you to go When I’m done with my searching I want you to go When I’m done with my searching I want you to go When I’m down by the fountain I’m down where you left me I’m done when you left me I’m done But I’ve so much to learn I’ve so much to learn.
10.
Curtains 02:18
The curtains are made for moving Cause you know sometimes you’re not always there You don't need it now, your head just like a cow Till all is here, the world's just a sphere No bigger than the balls you suck Hey, you with your head down Don't you know they’re can't be where it's always at? You've all been always here, your head just like a pear You search through the light, instead of jump in the pot Of life that just lies till it’s just right. You so often sit alone On the west side wheel of the meals that you steal To get around the curtain of this lodge It always make you feel the best You always mean less and less of the casual voices That lead you away from the nest. I know your face, It's all out of place.
11.
I'll Get It 01:58
Ah, I’ll get it I’ll get it Ah, I’ll get it I’ll get it I will have to go now all the way with it because you let me Stay here I’ll get it I’ll get it Ah, and regret it Regret it I will have to go now all the way with it because you let me Ah… Ah…

Henry comes up to me In his silver suit Henry comes up to me With his silver fruit And he comes to me with his gown And he comes to take me down And he comes to me in the corner And he corners me I am running away I am hiding in the ladies room. Henry comes up to me In his silver suit Henry comes up to me With his silver fruit And he comes to me underground And his smile turns into frown And he comes to me in the corner And he corners me I am running away I am hiding in the ladies room I am running away I am hiding in the ladies room - “Come into my arms it’s all gonna change now” Come, descend into my arms It’s all gonna change now Come, descend into my arms It’s all gonna change now Come, descend into my arms It’s all gonna change now Come, descend into my arms It’s all gonna change now It’s all gonna change now It’s all gonna change now It’s all gonna change now It’s all gonna change now It’s all gonna change now Change now

True Love 03:47
True love will find you in the end
 You'll find out just who was your friend
 Don’t be sad, I know you will, But don’t give up until
 True love will find you in the end. This is a promise with a catch
 Only if you're looking can it find you
 ‘Cause true love is searching too
 But how can it recognize you
 Unless you step out into the light?
 Don’t be sad I know you will But don’t give up until
 True love will find you in the end. True Love Will Find You in
