Sick & Tired
Sick, tired and homeless
With no one here to sing for
Tired of being weightless
For all these looking good boys

You can always say my attic has its charm
You can always say you did no major harm
You can always that summer had its charm
And that you did no major harm
Oh, spare me if you please

Sick, tired an sleepless
With no one else to shine for
Sick of all my distress
But I won't show I'm still poor

Symptoms are so deep
Something here's so wrong
Nothing is complete
Nowhere to belong
Symptoms are so deep
I think I'd better stay
Here on my own
So spare me if you please

Black Letter Day
I did all that I should, well all that I could
But will I be clean
I did all that I should, well all that I could
But it isn't me

All my strength is dead and gone

Slept as long I could, as long as I should
To find comfort here
Slept as long I could, as long as I should
But I still have fear

All my strength is dead and gone...

Black letter day
All the fun / joy / strength
...Has gone away

I drank all that I could, much more than I should
In simple despair
I drank all that I could, much more than I should
To find someone there

I hope monday will be a better day

In the Afternoon
Winter came by my bedroom today
Falling in rows and covering the lane
Morning shone on my windows today
Passing the time I slumber away
To kill all the day

Stumbling up at one
And put the kettle on
But wher's the coffee gone
In the afternoon
I put the TV on
But where's the drama gone
In the afternoon
And time is all that passes

Someone came by my bedroom today
Swaying around, then silently away
Someone left home and my bedroom today
Left by the time I slumbered away
To kill all the day

Some people don't hurry
Don't you worry they say
One day I'll be older
So much colder I say
This fear won't appear
If I keep stumbling up at one

Over the Water
Turn away and the collar
Because the blowing is dry
Walk away to the harbour
Before your ships will fly

Slip away and the pillow
Because it's falling of down
Trot away and around
Because your ships are found

Somewhere over the water
Next to a harbour
Someone's eager to listen

Someone to be in...

After All...
After all you were perfectly right
But I'm scaring close to insanity
And on a night like this
Nothing stays the same
Nothing looks the same

After all you were perfectly right
Though our relation just split me in two
And on a night like this
Pieces fall apart
Visions fall apart

After all you were perfectly right
I have never been happy before
And on a night like this
You can hear the words
See behind the words

After all you were perfectly wrong
Though I thought I'd found love
And on a night like this
Nothing could be worse
Nothing could be worse

Cloudy Sky
I'd catch some stars for you
And just for you
I'd paint the grey sky blue
And just for you
So don't tell me you want the rain
From a cloudy sky
To wash away the pain
That I've given you again
I've always tried to find
What satisfies your mind
But I will never know
Where you are to go
But I want you to know
Do you want a golden ring
I would buy you anything.

I'd read some poems for you
Just for you
I hope they won't make you blue
Like they used to do
So please tell me they're like the rain
From this cloudy sky

Our Space
My dear, please see my dear
How we invented the fear
Inside that space
No one could interfere
My dear, please see my dear
How we invented the tears
Inside that space
No one could interfere

Rise & Shine
I want to be alone for a while
I want earth to breathe to me
I want the waves to grow loud
I want the sun to bleed down

See the waves go down
See the moon alone
See the world unshown
I raise my hesd and whisper

Rise and shine
Rise and shine my sister

I want to see the wounded moon
I want the sea to break through
I want it all to be gone tomorrow
So I've come to say goodbye...

Celia Inside
You don't want the sun to shine in
So you turn the curtains down
Your eyes still don't show me a thing
And you don't feel it's sunny outside

You don't want no joy for a while
But you stay up late at night
It hurts you that she's still alive
So you'll raise flowerbeds inside

But she, she will not get bothered at all
She's just watching the water at fall
So you should give them just what they need
Water and poetry
'Cause she will not bother at all
She's just watching the water at fall
You should give them just what they need
'Cause she will not bother at all
But you won't say you're not adored
By her beauty.... celia inside

You don't want to feel her at all
But who's that fellowman of hers
With who, your dear celia moved
And they'll sleep happily inside

But you won't say you're not adored
By her beauty and her purity
And her lovely.... celia inside

Sabbath Bloody Sabbath
You've seen life through distorted eyes
You know you had to learn
The execution of your mind
You really had to turn
The race is run the book is read
The end begins to show
The truth is out, the lies are old
But you don't want to know

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

The people who have crippled you
You want to see them burn
The gates of life have closed on you
And now there's just no return

Nobody will ever let you know
When you ask the reasons why
They just tell you that you're on your own
Fill your head all full of lies

Seems Hard
Seems hard to understand
I think no one can
Not anyone I know
No, wait I think I know
One who does
At least that's what he says

And what I mean is what I say
But I've got thoughts left anyway

Seems hard to understand
I'm not sure myself
Sure of what to think
I know I should trust myself
At least that's what he says

Seems hard to understand
I think no one did
Not anyone I knew
Well, I thought I knew
One who did
It was only as he said...

Last Song
The night she died in the rented room
As the whole town was sleeping
She held her breath like a star in bloom
Could burn down tomorrow

The summer breeze was caressing me
As I walked through the market
The golden light of a friend beside
Had died out for good

Now nothing can amaze me
As everything's behind me
No, nothing else can please me
Since all I had has been set free

The night before in the dining room
I recall it now
She said "I fear for you my friend
'Cause I'll soon be leaving"

The autumn comes just like other years
But I won't see the signs
The sun above's sowing magic seeds
But it wants someone back...
