ENGLISH SUMMER RAIN

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.

I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.
I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.

I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.
I'm in the basement, you're in the sky,
I'm in the basement baby, drop on by.

Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
Hold your breath and count to ten,
Start again, start again
Hold your breath and count your step,
And fall apart and start again,
Start again... (x13)

Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.
Always stays the same, nothing ever changes,
English summer rain seems to last for ages.

Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
hold your breath and count to ten,
Start again, start again
Hold your breath and count to ten,
And fall apart and start again,
Old your breath and count to ten,
And start again, and start again,

Start again... (x16)

THIS PICTURE

I hold an image of the ashtray girl
As the cigarette burns on my chest
I wrote a poem that described her world
That put our friendship to the test
And late at night while I was on all fours
She used to watch me kiss the floor
What's wrong with this picture?
What's wrong with this picture?

Farewell the ashtray girl
Forbidden snowflake
Beware this troubled world
Watch out for earthquakes
Goodbye to open sores
To broken semaphore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
The fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growing old

Farewell the ashtray girl
Angelic fruitcake
Beware this troubled world
Control your intake
Goodbye to open sores
Goodbye and furthermore
You know we miss her
We miss her picture

Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
The fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growing old

Hang on
Though we try
It's gone
Hang on
Though we try
It's gone

Sometimes it's faded
Disintegrated
The fear of growing old
Sometimes it's faded
Assassinated
The fear of growing old

Can't stop growing old (x5)

Ich halte ein Foto vom Aschenbecher-Mädchen
während die Zigarette auf meiner Brust verbrennt.
Ich schrieb ein Gedicht, das ihre Welt beschrieb,
das unsere Freundschaft auf die Probe stellte.
Und spät in der Nacht, während ich auf allen Vieren war
pflegte sie mir zuzusehen, wie ich den Boden küsse.
Was stimmt nicht mit dem Bild?
Was stimmt nicht mit dem Bild?

Verabschiede das Aschenbecher-Mädchen
verbotene Schneeflocke.
Hüte diese aufgewühlte Welt
halte Ausschau nach Erdbeben.
Abschied von offenen Wunden nehmen
vom kaputten Semaphor.
Du weißt, daß wir sie vermissen
wir vermissen ihr Bild

Manchmal läßt es nach,
aufgelöst
die Angst, alt zu werden.
Manchmal läßt es nach,
ermordet
die Angst, alt zu werden.

Verabschiede das Aschenbecher-Mädchen
himmlicher Spinner.
Hüte diese aufgewühlte Welt
kontrolliere das, was du aufnimmst.
Abschied von offenen Wunden nehmen
Abschied nehmen und außerdem
weißt du, daß wir sie vermissen.
Wir vermissen ihr Bild.

Manchmal läßt es nach,
aufgelöst
die Angst, alt zu werden.
Manchmal läßt es nach,
ermordet
die Angst, alt zu werden.

Warte einen Moment.
Obwohl wir uns bemühen
ist es weg.
Warte einen Moment.
Obwohl wir uns bemühen
ist es weg.

Manchmal läßt es nach,
aufgelöst
die Angst, alt zu werden.
Manchmal läßt es nach,
ermordet
die Angst, alt zu werden.

Kann nicht aufhören, alt zu werden (5x)

SLEEPING WITH GHOSTS

The sea's evaporated
Though it comes as no surprise
These clouds we're seeing
They're explosions in the sky
It seems it's written
But we can't read between the lines

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Dry your eye
Soulmate dry your eye
Cause soulmates never die

This one world vision
Turns us in to compromise
What good's religion
When it's each other we despise
Damn the government
Damn their killing
Damn their lies

Hush
It's okay
Dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Dry your eyes
Soulmate dry your eyes
Cause soulmates never die

Soulmates never die
Never die
Soulmates never die
Never die...
Soulmates never die (x4)

Das Meer verdunstete
Obwohl es keine Überraschung war.
Diese Wolken, die wir sehen,
es sind Explosionen im Himmel.
Es scheint niedergeschrieben zu sein
aber wir können nicht zwischen den Zeilen lesen.

Sei still
es ist in Ordnung
Trockne dein Auge
Trockne dein Auge
Trockne dein Auge, Seelenfreund
Trockne Dein Auge
Trockne dein Auge, Seelenfreund
Weil Seelenfreunde niemals sterben

Diese Eine-Welt-Vision
läßt uns einen Kompromiss schließen.
Was ist das Gute an Religion
wenn wir uns einander verachten?
Verdamme die Regierung
Verdamme ihr Töten
Verdamme ihre Lügen

Sei still
es ist in Ordnung
Trockne deine Augen
Trockne deine Augen
Trockne deine Augen, Seelenfreund
Trockne deine Augen
Trockne deine Augen, Seelenfreund
Weil Seelenfreunde niemals sterben

Seelenfreunde sterben niemals
sterben niemals
Seelenfreunde sterben niemals
sterben niemals
Seelenfreunde sterben niemals (4x)

THE BITTER END

Since we're feeling so anesthetised
In our comfort zone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

We're running out of alibis
From the second of May
Reminds me of the summer time
On this winter's day

See you at the bitter end (x2)

Every step we take that's synchronized
Every broken bone
Reminds me of the second time
That I followed you home

You shower me with lullabies
As you're walking away
Reminds me that it's killing time
On this fateful day

See you at the bitter end (x4)

From the time we intercepted
Feels more like suicide...

See you at the bitter end

SOMETHING ROTTEN

It seems we're here
I miss you something rotten
The stinks are here
It's guaranteed all's forgotten
Down here
Down here it's clear that your uncut
Don't fear
Don't fear, keep all this forgotten
Face down
Face down
Face down, I miss you something rotten
Face down
Face down, this crown is broken rotten

Down here, down here, I know it's not, it's all forgotten
Down here, down here, face down, I miss you something rotten
Down here, down here, it stinks, it stinks of something rotten
Don't fear, don't fear, keep all this forgotten
There's something rotten down here

PLASTICINE

Beauty lies inside the eye of another youthful dream
That doesn't sell it's soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine
Beauty lies inside desire and every wayward heart redeemed
That doesn't sell it's soul for self-esteem
That's not plasticine

Don't forget to be the way you are (x4)

The only thing you can rely on is that you can't rely on anything
Don't go and sell your soul for self-esteem
Don't be plasticine

Don't forget to be the way you are (x4)
And don't forget to be the way you are (x4)
The way you are (x4)

SPECIAL NEEDS

Remember me when you're the one who's silver screen
Remember me when you're the one you always dreamed
Remember me when everyone's noses start to bleed
Remember me, special needs

Just 19 and sucker's dream I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dream obscene with six months off for bad behaviour

Remember me when you clinch your movie deal
And think of me stuck in my chair that has four wheels
Remember me through flash photography and screams
Remember me, special dreams

Just 19 this sucker's dream I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dream obscene with six months off for bad behaviour
Just 19 and sucker's dream I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dream obscene with six months off for bad behaviour

Remember me...

Just 19 this sucker's dream I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dream obscene with six months off for bad behaviour
Just 19 and sucker's dream I guess I thought you had the flavour
Just 19 and dream obscene with six months off for bad behaviour

Remember me...

I'LL BE YOURS

I'll be your water bathing you clean
The liquid piece
I'll be your ether you'll breathe me in
You won't release
Well I've seen you suffer
I've seen you cry the whole night through
So I'll be your water bathing you clean
Liquid blue

I'll be your father, I'll be your mother,
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours
I'll be your father, I'll be your mother,
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours

I'll be your liqour bathing your soul
Juice that's pure
And I'll be your anchor you'll never leave
Shores that cure
Well I've seen you suffer
I've seen you cry for days and days
So I'll be your liqour demons will drown
And float away

I'll be your father, I'll be your mother,
I'll be your lover, I'll be yours...
Yours...

SECOND SIGHT

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us
Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were, you never were

Yes it's just the second night
That I would break back nights for you
Yes i know you're the jealous type
'Cause I'm cursed with second sight so

Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
Here comes the morning after
Walk away to save your face
You never were an actor
Walk away to save your face
You never were, you never were

Yes it's just the second night
That I would break back nights for you
Yes i know you're the jealous type
'Cause I'm cursed with second sight so (x3)

Third verse same as the first

Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You let it come between us
Walk away to save your face
You never were a genius
Walk away to save your face
You never were, you never were

Yes it's just the second night
That I would break back nights for you
Yes i know you're the jealous type
'Cause I'm cursed with second sight so

Walk away (x8)
(You never were...)

PROTECT ME FROM WHAT I WANT

It's that desease of the age
It's that desease that we crave
Alone at the end of the race
We catch the last bus home

Corporate America wakes
Coffee republic in case
We open the latch on the gate
Of the hole that we call our home

Protect me from what I want (x3)
Protect me, protect me

Maybe we're victims of fate
Remember when we'd celebrate
We'd drink and get high until late
And now we're all alone

Wedding bells ain't gonna chime
With both of us guilty of crime
And both of us sentenced to time
And now we're all alone

Protect me from what I want (x3)
Protect me, protect me
Protect me from what I want (x3)
Protect me, protect me

Protect me from what I want (x3)
Protect me, protect me
Protect me from what I want (x3)
Protect me, protect me

CENTREFOLDS

Come on Balthazar I refuse to let you die
Come on fallen star I refuse to let you die
That's wrong and I've been waiting far too long
That's wrong I've been waiting far too long
For you to be..be me..be..be mine
For you to be mine..be mine..for you to be mine
And it's wrong, I've been waiting far too long
That's wrong, I've been waiting far too long
For you to be..be me..be

All the centrefolds that you can't afford
Have long since waved their last goodbyes
All the centrefolds that you can't afford
You've long since faded from their eyes
So be..be mine (x2)

Komm schon Balthazar, ich weigere mich, dich sterben zu lassen
Komm schon fallender Stern, ich weigere mich, dich sterben zu lassen
Das ist falsch und ich habe viel zu lange gewartet
Das ist falsch, ich habe viel zu lange gewartet
damit du ich bist...sei...sei mein
Damit du mein bist...sei mein...damit du mein bist
Und es ist falsch, ich habe viel zu lange gewartet
Das ist falsch, ich habe viel zu lange gewartet
damit du ich bist...sei

All die Zeitschriften mit den doppelseitigen Bildern, die du dir nicht leisten kannst
haben seit langem ihren letzten Abschied gewunken
All die Zeitschriften mit den doppelseitigen Bildern, die du dir nicht leisten kannst
Du bist seit langem in ihren Augen verblasst
Also sei...sei mein (2x)
