Marblehead
03:05
|

From the land of giants
To Marblehead
You greeted failure
With too much kindness
You put on your blue coat
And your greatest regrets
You came crashing onto this floor
Nothing will ever be the same
The graveyard silence
Of your broken heart
Sometimes is covered with snow
Sometimes is covered with grass
The air we breath
Is the wind that blows
Are you trying to swim?
Or you don’t care about drowning?
Welcome to Marblehead

Deer Park Mirage
02:43
|

Deer park mirage, Deer park mirage
I almost touched you with both hands
Deer park mirage, Deer park mirage
I want to spend the day, dazzled by the sun
We’re lucky
‘Cause we saved some songs
For next week’s dance
We’re lucky
‘Cause here all alone
Our tragedies just make us laugh
We’re lucky
‘Cause we saved some songs
For next week’s dance
We’re lucky
We’re making history
Out of our junk
We’re lucky
‘Cause our tragedies
Just makes us laugh
We’re lucky
‘Cause our private rhytms
Are made of drum rolls and fanfare

I Shot The Skier
02:48
|
|||
Please sing me a song
That makes me forget
That I shot the skier yesterday
Thanks for letting me stay
Overnight at your place
These skies never looked so grey
Buy me an island
To hide away
Where no one will see me fall from grace
Thanks for letting me stay
Overnight at your place
These skies never looked so grey

Jaffa Cakes
02:09
|
|||
We will dance
We will dance
And afterwards
We’ll eat some jaffa cakes
We’ll save some for your friends
If we crash
If we crash
Don’t be scared
We’ll drink some ginger ales
Like when our stomachs ache
Here it comes
Here it comes
Hold tight my hand
Someone will feed your cats
And if we’re lucky enough
We’ll have some flashing lights to look at

Wreckage and Dust
02:52
|
|||
Old silent movies
Yesterday’s papers
Discoloured by time
Just memories
Of your legend and glorious days
Smiling tourists
Queuing with presents
Are waiting to board
They’re not for you
Life was better on feather wings
Once a legend of the air
State of the art
Now wreckage and dust
In a dark room
With your engine stalled
Ready for the last call
Take off and dig it
Fly out in circles
Like a merry-go-round
Once a legend of the air
State of the art
Now wreckage and dust
Tokyo to New Amsterdam
From Fiji to France
Now wreckage and dust

Our Last Party
04:02
|
|||
Tomorrow I’m going to your party
Tomorrow we’ll go there to tell ourselves goodbye
You’re going to another country
Tomorrow it will be like today
Tomorrow we’ll have the same feelings
Tomorrow we’ll remember songs played on the sand
The beach seemed like it was desert
While we’re playing “Who loves the sun”
And I don’t care about the things that you said yesterday
I always thought that summer never ends
And I can only hope that you will write to me some day
Like an old Beach Boys song said
This summer we’ve swam in the ocean
This summer we’ve learnt not to swim alone
The dunes never saw something as special
As you and me kissing on the sand
And I don’t care about the things that you said yesterday
I always thought that summer never ends
And I can only hope that you will write to me some day
Like an old Beach Boys song said
I’d like to keep these memories
Someday when I get old
I’d like to see your face again
Next to mine, sitting by the shore
Tomorrow I’m going to your party
Tomorrow we’ll go there to tell ourselves goodbye
We’re going to another country
Tomorrow it will be like today

Toxic Black Mold
03:21
|
|||
It was the coldest of winters
Nothing to do but watch the cattle die
The former tenant should have warned us
That this wasn’t the work of an evil eye
The work of an evil eye
My daughter has been sick for a long time
It all made sense when we found the note
Then we could see the mold on the walls
We could see the mold deep in our throats
Toxic black, toxic black, toxic black mold
Toxic black, toxic black, toxic black mold
We’ll all be dead soon,
One by one,
By some mysterious
Biblical plague
Toxic black, toxic black, toxic black mold
Toxic black, toxic black, toxic black mold

Swimmers
03:08
|
|||
I’m walking through the woods
And through wicked memories
I’m swimming through the pools
Coast to coast and no one will see
The real me, the real you
That hides inside lonely mansion on the hill
What I used to be, what I used to do
When the world was still and shone through a silver screen
I’m diving into the blue
Where it’s easier to make-believe
That I won’t look back, I’ll swim
Coast to coast and no one will see
The real me, the real you
That hides inside lonely mansion on the hill
What I used to be, what I used to do
When the world was still and shone through a silver screen
In an endless sea, painted in blue and green
I’m just a swimmer, it’s good not to be me
What I used to be, what I used to do
Nothing ever happens in closed communities

Insane
04:03
|
|||
In the house of contradictions
Is where I heard of you
You were showing your addictions
And I was desperately alone
A thousand miles and a thousand e-mails
are all the things I get from you
The screen of a personal computer
Is all that I can touch of you
I must be insane
I must be insane
To try the things I try for you
To feel the way I do for you
Traveling across the country
Just to see your face again
Coming back home ain't easy
When your feelings can't be seen
I must be insane
I must be insane
To try the things I try for you
To feel the way I do for you

Stuck In Champagne Jelly
02:53
|
|||
We got ourselves stuck
In our own Weddel sea
That turned out to be
Just champagne jelly
We waved our flags
As we drifted away
Diving from time to time
Into the champagne jelly
And some brass band
Played silver melodies
From a distant shore
We couldn’t see
And all the notes
Got stuck in champagne jelly
Three cheers out of respect
For the secrets we left behind
That we buried with care
In champagne jelly
And some brass band
Played silver melodies
From a distant shore
We couldn’t see
And all the notes
Got stuck in champagne jelly

Broken bottles warmed my hands
The sun used to tan my face
I found treasures, then lost some
But the big one’s yet to come
And I’ll be waiting for the years to come
I’ll be waiting ‘cause I know it couldn’t get worse
To prove that dad was proud of me
Here’s my injured knee
It still hurts from time to time
When the big one comes in sight
And I’ll be waiting for the days to come
And I’ll be waiting for the years to come
I’ll be waiting ‘cause I know it couldn’t get worse

I think about it sometimes
I think that it was our last chance
To hear the green fields sing
Old tunes that made us cry
Now I don't know if I could go there again
To feel the tall trees playing over our heads
In the land where happiness grows
Remember those nights dancing
The songs we played on the sand
Where melody's the subject
And you can ride a honeybus
We must never forget that place
That showed us how to live this way
In the land where happiness grows
The morning broke and burnt our minds
The rainbow lands turned to grey
Were the people from a tale never told?
