I was wrong
To let you go
And you were right, right, right
To tell me so
I went away
For a while
And you found me reading
Death on the Nile
Yeah you found me reading
Death on the Nile
On the Nile (8x)
That’s a novel son
I never read
It was written by Agatha Christie
It’s about a guy who’s dead
It’s a Great Waste Of Time
‘Cause if you’re born for a quarter
You’re never going to be a dime
If you’re born for a quarter
You’re never going to be a dime
Be a dime (8x)

Cities We Will Burn
03:10
|
|||
Twelve years ago to the day
You told us, where to go
Now we are back and here to stay
Just you watch
Watch us go
Chorus:
All these cities we will burn
We will burn to the ground
Cities we will burn
This time around
To all you city folk: beware
There’s a spark in our eye
We tried to catch her many times
No we will, in the rye
(Chorus)
Hello, how nice of you to call me
after all this time
Hello, you better not be sorry
for your dirty crime
‘Cause all these cities we will burn
All these cities we will burn (4x)
(Chorus)

Home
03:09
|

Chorus:
Home, where the heart is
Home, where the start is
Home, in the garden
I’ll sleep ‘till the morning
I’ll weep by the wayside
With a brown paper bag over my head
H.O.M.E. (shake your tambourine)
I know it well
H.O.M.E. (give me the bass drum)
What does it spell?
I need more guitar
(Chorus)
Shake your tambourine
Shake your tambourine
Give me the bass drum
I need more guitar
(Chorus)

Look at her she’s moving like the seventies
(If she’s moving stay away from her)
Like the seventies
I swear sometimes you’ll think
She’ll start a war
(Somebody tell what the f*ck is going on)
What’s with all this lying and hypocrisy?
Don’t you lie to me (Ooohh)
You don’t know what you are fighting for
I try to keep up
I try to keep track
But he spit me in my face
Spit me in my face
I try to keep up
I try to keep track
Of this charade
Look at her she’s moving like the seventies
(It’s been the same for thirty odd years)
Like the seventies
I swear sometimes you’ll think
She’ll start a war (Aaahh)
(That’s when she tells me she is late again)
She tries to keep up
She really tries to keep track
And then she kissed me on my face
She really kissed me on my face
She tries to keep up
She really tries to keep track
Again, again, again, again

Go mountaineers
Home in West Virginia
All your rage is bottled up
When I came
You drove to the airport
It was a seven hour drive
Go mountaineers
Home in West Virginia
Logging trees and mining coal
When you’re gone
You’ll be selling diamonds
But the people they are poor
The people they are poor
Go mountaineers
Sharing lots of stories
About that time that we hid
All their stuff
Hid it in the showers
And then we waited ‘till they cried
And then we told them that we lied
Go mountaineers
Home in West Virginia
Logging trees and mining coal
When you’re gone
You’ll be selling diamonds
But the people they are poor
The people they are poor

Song For Lion
03:19
|
|||
I see the headlights of a car
On the ceiling of my room
And there’s a lion underneath my bed
Don’t want to wake him ‘cause I think
he’s dead
Used to dream that I was
Wondering in the desert
And there’s a scorpion amongst us now
I’d like to find him but I don’t know how
Song for lion (2x)
I see the headlights of a car
And it’s coming my way
I don’t do magic, but I’ll disappear
You don’t want to thank me for my being here
Used to dream that I was
Wondering on the ocean
And as my head is calling ship-to-shore
I keep forgetting what I came here for
Song for lion (4x)
Please Mr. lion, leave him alone
Leave him alone
I said: please Mr. lion, leave him alone
Leave him alone (3x)

As your enemy and your friend
I would definitely recommend
My misery
Oh, it loves company
Both the elephant and the mouse
Are living in my house
There's room for no-one else but you
Maybe one more, or two
How you're always in my face
Yeah you're not giving me my space
Why don't you try and shut your pie hole?
Don't let me talk to you like
I'm a talk show host
('cause my money is good but my talk is cheap)
Don't let me talk to you like
I'm a talk show host
'Cause if you do I will talk for hours
'Cause if you do I will talk for hours, dear
How you're always in my face
Yeah you're not giving me my space
Why don't you try and shut your pie hole?
Don't let me talk to you like
I'm a talk show host
(If I advise you to run, you better run like hell)
Don't let me talk to you like
I'm a talk show host
'Cause if you do I will talk for hours
'Cause if you do I will talk for hours, dear

Island

You on your island
Who are your neighbours?
All you can carry
Used to be more
How are you dirty?
For what you carry
Used to be televisions
And alarms
Where is your money?
Oh, where it has been
Down in the basement
Where it belongs
You on your island
Who are your neighbours?
Old Alexander
Reach out your arms
Reach out your arms
You on your Island
Where is your money?
Oh, where it has been
Down in the basement
Where it belongs
You and your island
Who are your neighbours?
Old Alexander
Reach out your arms
There is only one step more to take
Before you can call this Island your home
Before you can call this Island your home

You broke both your feet
When you landed on the concrete
You won’t run again (2x)
Is what the doctor said
You landed on the pavement
Due to radical behavior
You won’t run again (2x)
Is what the doctor said
With a smile on his teeth
He will pull you from beneath
And you can gain a little height
With a clap of his hands
He will make his demands
And you’ll listen to him
Because you don’t want to die
Ooohhh (2x)
With a clap of his hands
He will make his demands
And you’ll listen to him dear
(Listen to him dear)
Until you disappear
Somewhere far from here
Ooohhh (4x)

Quiet
02:36

I don’t mind
Waiting for the weekend
As long I’m spending with
You and you and everybody sleeps in
I put on
My record and my glasses
While you are doing laps in the pool
You ask me to jump in the water
Jump in the water
Chorus:
Everything’s quiet under water
There is nothing I can hear
Everything’s quiet under water
I get home
Everybody’s waiting
They are doing laps in the pool
They ask me to jump in the water
Jump in the water (2x)
(Chorus)
It’s in the water

Your love is like a virus for the mind
And I open my eyes and turn blind
I’ll go North and you will go South
I can’t believe the words
That are coming out of my mouth
Chorus:
If you can whisper, don’t yell
This is a story we’re never going to tell
You take a picture, it won’t last
I’ll tell you why: ‘cause we’re moving very fast
If you can whisper, don’t yell
This is a story we’re never going to tell
You take a picture, it won’t last
You take a picture
You’re speaking of a place we’ve never been
And I open my mouth whispering
We’ll head North and they’ll go South
I can’t believe the words
That are coming out of my mouth
(Chorus)
You take a picture
