Yokohama Line
04:04
|

As he sips his morning coffe
and he reads the morning paper
He thinks about calling her up
But he thinks she's such a debater
He knows that he's done wrong and all
But he can always call her later
So he finnishes his cup and goes to work
Later in the evening he's out having dinner
And he can't help thinking 'bout his girl
He tries so hard to remember her
But the memory's getting thinner
So he tries to build it up with alcohol
He takes the Yokohama Line to Tokyo Station
He feels the ground shaking
As he moves through the platform
And he can't help thinking about his fucked-up relation
And the memory from so many years ago
When he finally picks up the phone
And gets ready to call her
The TV news beam through his eyes
There's a killer wave coming
With a massive destruction
His fingers tremble and he starts to cry
As he takes the Yokohama Line to Tokyo Station
He feels his heart breaking
As he moves through the platform
And he can't help thinking about his fucked-up relation
And the memory from so many years ago

The Fire Escape
04:43
|

Though you're mine and only mine
It doesn't mean that we should be together
At least not for now
You are one of a kind
It doesn't mean that this will last forever
That's why I have to leave you now
It's sneaking up from behind
This feeling that I'm being dishonest
Though I never really told you no lies
Well, I could stay for the night
But you know that I must leave in the morning
This will be our final night
I take the fire escape
I take the fire escape before it is too late
And I'll be gone when you wake
This will be our final night

Better Still
02:18
|

Lately I've been seeing rain clouds
Thunder coming from the east
If I close my eyes and think hard
Maybe they will disappear
Still I know if they will come, they will
I'll face the day and let them come
Better still
And since rain clouds come to seek me
Roaring thunder in my heart
I'll just let the day become me
And take one step on the path
Still I know if clouds will come, they will
If rain will fall I'll close my eyes and weep
I face the day, and it becomes a part of me
Better still

The Posies Blues
02:42

Behind, beneath the truth, that's where you are
The way you treat yourself you won't get far
You keep on acting like you're some kind of fucking star
If you stop to think, you'd realize
The bitterness you see comes from your eyes
Your pain is self-inflicted, made of stone-cold lies
You'll know yourself when you can feel the smell
Of your own deeds, the ones that give you hell
You need to see for yourself
The bitter drops that fall while on your own
Won't be of benefit, you'll die alone
You're not a king and you have no right to the throne
You make your wishes, pray and hope to be well
The scent of flowers hides the smell from hell
There is no you, and you keep hoping we can't tell
You'll know yourself when you can feel the smell
Of your own deeds, the ones who give you hell
With the dazzling posies always with you
There's is no success you can give in to
You need to see for yourself

A Note
02:52
|
|||
She gets up early in the morning
A cup of coffee, and a smoke to start the day.
She turns a page in the paper and then she's aware
of the sleeping beauty, pale and still, lying on the floor
in the hallway.
So she grabs a piece of paper and a pen,
and she writes a note.
"I lost my way while looking backwards, dear.
I was blindfolded by myself,
and now there's nothing we can do
to end up where we belong.
We keep fighting the same fight time and time again.
How could this end?
There's a stream of poison in my veins,
and it kills our love.
It must end this way.
You had to go away.
There's a pain inside me that I cannot describe,
but it's horrible and fierce.
It makes me hard to trust, and I love you so much that you had to leave."

Cecilia
02:59
|

I'm breathing the air that you're breathing out
There's something we share
That's in the air tonight
There's a smile on your face that reflects in mine
You shot an arrow through my heart, Cecilia
I think you know what I mean
Stressed out by the world and out of time
But your touch makes me the calmest man alive
Are you following me?
Are you following me right into the future
Where a million stars explode tonight
In a beautiful illusion
And we fly away
There's a million stars exploding in my head

I Lost My Aim
03:35
|
|||
Pull me down in a pool of water
Fill me up 'till I can't be filled no more
Pull off a joke that produces laughter
I'm just a clown with a taste for alcohol
Despite friends and inspiration
Like the illness of my generation
I lost my aim
I'm fucking bored and agitated
I'm powerless and frustrated
Temptation aches
Winter time is a wait for summer
Summer time is a wait for something great
Something great is an endless hunger
Saturation is challenging my faith
Despite friends and inspiration
Like the illness of my generation
I lost my aim
I'm fucking bored and agitated
I'm powerless and frustrated
Temptation aches
It's like a bad disease
So just give me what I need
To get my act together now and get out of this shit
It can be anything, a pint of beer or a bottle of gin
Competition's draining me
And my life's not entertaining me
Despite friends and inspiration
Like the illness of my generation
I lost my aim
I'm fucking bored and agitated
I'm powerless and frustrated
Temptation aches

I've been crying in my sleep
Because of secrets I must keep
And the music that I play
Is getting sadder day by day
But then there's you and me, and our love
There's you and me, and I love us
I tend to keep things to myself
Believing things will end up well for our love
And all the promises I make
Display myself as such a fake
But I love that we're true, the two of us
You and me, and our love
There's you and me, and our love
And it grows, and it grows
It balances the pain
And it flows, and it flows
Throughout my head and veins
And it shows, oh it shows
Remember this always
I tend to keep things to myself
Believing things will end up well for our love
And all the promises I make
Display myself as such a fake
But I love that we're true, the two of us
You and me, and our love
And it grows, and it grows
It balances the pain
And it flows, and it flows
Throughout my head and veins
Let's me know, let's me know
That I will be ok
And it shows, oh it shows
Remember this always

Where The Old Road Ends
02:44
|
|||
This is where the old road ends
I can feel it as we speak
There's a connection so immense
And you're only mine to keep
I feel I need to know exactly how you are
Step the movie one more frame
To the moment where we kiss
And now there's only me to blame
If I fuck up even this
I feel I need to touch you almost all the time
Stand alone and feel no pain
Stand alone in endless rain
This is where the old road ends
I can feel it as we kiss
There's a connection so immense
And you're only mine to miss
I feel I need to know exactly how you are
