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, 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

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

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

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

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

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
12.
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?
