The Sound Of The Waves

The songs of the whales
They sound pretty much the same
The leader of the pack sets the tone
Among the fellow whales they sing
The horse wears a mask
He looks like a bear
When the Sun goes down
The woodpecker makes himself at home
His heady melody fills me with joy and thankfulness
The sound of the waves
Helps me take away the pain
You look as if you were born yesterday
T
The sound of the waves
Cascading over our heads
Resounding in my ears
The ocean feels like a womb
We can have some peace and quiet
A swarm of seabirds sings along
We can find shelter in this very warm womb
Wet womb
The sound of the waves
Helps me take away the pain
The sound of the waves
Cascading over our heads
Resounding in my ears
The sound of the waves
Helps me take the pain away
You look as if you were born tomorrow
Enjoying every sunny spell of my mind
Believing in every single day of your life

High As High

I feel high as high
Watching the green scenery
I feel high as a kite
Listening to the cheers of the crowd
Tell me it's not over
The lovelife you dreamed about
You were the listener
I was the teller
And I bored you to tears with my endless stories
I felt high so very high
When I was writing letters and postcards to my Grandma
I feel high as a kite
When I hear my boys waking up on the first floor
When I see their faces smiling in the morning light
You gave me love
I took it for granted
Then we spent twenty years
Together in this storm
We came through
I can't believe it's real
We're still standing
Maybe forever
I feel high as high
Watching the green scenery
I feel high as a child
Listening to the cheers of the crowd
When I hear my boys waking up on the first floor
When I see their faces smiling in the morning light
I feel high so very high
I feel high up in the sky

In My Drunken Dreamscape
05:42
|

I need it now
Please I can't wait
I can't stop laughing
Although I feel a bit unsettled
In my drunken dreams
While supplies last
How good can life get?
I need it now
Please you can't fake it
Cause we're bursting with life
Although I've been a bit forgetful
Resting my mind
While watching the skyline
Drinking my wine
And bleeding with the sunrise
How good can life get?
Calling at all stations
We’ll soon be arriving
It’s a mixed bag
Let’s dive into the unknown
Come on come on come on
The life of a butterfly who’s been force-fed
Unfortunately he died of food poisoning

Arise Sir Richard
It rings so true
Won't you tell us the story of the tea towels?
Arise Sir Richard
Our appetite for life is like a combination of
Self-fulfilling prophecies mixed with frustrations
Spill your drinks if you wanna stay away from the booze
The silly sauce
This would be the third bottle of the night
You've had two with your wife
The first one, you were witty
The second, it got blurry
Now it's getting heavy
Too easy to feel sorry
Do you really think you're ready too?
Arise Sir Richard
There's always sunshine when we're together
Arise Sir Richard
Flowers will grow in real speed
To get things done
The shortest romance happens when you're wired
Until the wee hours of the morning
Or when you're quietly lying on your deathbed
Stay with me if you wanna quit drinking
This could have been the third bottle of the night
You've had two with your wife
The first one, you were witty
The second, it got blurry
Now it's getting heavy
Too easy to feel super sorry
Do you really think you're ready too?
Dreaming you take my hand
I cannot forget you believe in me
Dreaming you take my hand
I cannot believe you forgive me
Dreaming you take my hand
I cannot forget you believe in me
Until the wee hours of the morning
Or when you're quietly lying on your deathbed

You're being silly
Well I needed to talk about something new
I meant what I said
But you didn't seem to understand
Never really felt the same
Who really cares?
I'm still wondering who really cares
Tonight I need
Someone to help me
Somebody's shoulder to cry on Sometimes I need
A mate of mine
Who could listen to my stories
Oh the fake ones, the real ones
We just want to talk about
Our lives and the wonders we long for
Tonight I need

Let me laugh like a drunk witch
I'm the human sprinkler
Then I saw her reading
"Are You Sleeping?" in the tube
Let me lie like a drunken bitch
You're the human thinker
Then she saw me crying while we hung around in the woods
I'm the blind man's changing moods
I'm the bad vibes when you're blue
No I cannot hide that tear
Yes I'll gladly volunteer
We ain't no Oscar Wildes
We ain't no Scott Fitzgeralds
We fell in love with Allen, Jack & Bill
When we were very young
Empty contents into a saucepan
Stir gently while heating
Do not boil or overcook
Or this will impair the flavour
Let me laugh like a drunk witch
I'm the human sprinkler
Then I saw her reading
"Are You Sleeping?" in the tube
Let me lie like a drunken bitch
You're the human thinker
Then she saw me crying while we hung around in the woods
I'm the blind man's changing moods
I'm the bad vibes when you're blue
No I cannot hide that tear
Yes I'll gladly disappear

Hometown Boys

I want to drown in a sea of tunes
To find my love again
The one I thought I'd find
When I was lost in a liquid maze
I miss my brothers
We live in songs we wish we had written
It takes long to be at peace with ourselves
I miss your smile, your wit and your laughter
I will love you till death do us part
Hometown boys becoming men
Dads & Uncles
Gathering for Sunday lunches
Falling in love once in a decade
Or every minute
Always making the same mistakes
And going around in circles
Travelling the world
In our head
Or by plane
Hometown boys
Hometown boys
I will love you till death do us part

I'd like to make my exit with panache
Bright underpants to be shown on the coroner's table
Please
Everybody's got something to hide
I've been under treatment
But now it's done
I'm healed
Be sure that I'll come over
What's your take on
This outrageous outfit I wore?
Please Goddess let me lie on the floor
To master an appearance at the awards
"The Bird, The Fly & The Helicopter"
Our time is up, the party's over
Stick to your guns
The award goes to Virginia Woodstone-Grey
For the most impressive body of work that anyone who's worked with her Might have noticed yeah, haven’t you yeah?
I'd like to make my exit with panache
Please find my passport in the pocket of my Italian jacket Please
I'm sitting singing songs for everyone
I've been under treatment But now I'm good
I'm healed
Be sure that I'll come over What's your take on
"I wonder if you can picture more"?
Those funny little things on the shore
Open your eyes Mother
Open your heart to me
I don't care if the cupboard's bare
I don't mind if your beloved dog is sick
I don't give a damn about your brand new car
Is it grey? Is it white? Is it black? Is it shiny?
I sing this song in English cause I like it
I'll sing in Italian and I'm sure you will love it
Or even in German but you and I won't get it
I'd rather sing in French
Hoping you'd understand
What I really meant
Do I really need to scream?
Open your eyes
Mother
Open your heart to me
Only a pocketful of minutes or years ahead of us

Tell me more about your mother
I think it's highly inappropriate
To share your thoughts the way you do
Anything's fine with me
As long as we've got plenty
Of memories to cherish
You bought a copy that was near mint
She rolled her eyes
When she saw the price
Can't you see that I'm not listening? (
Anyway, it's over)
I've had enough of all your strategies
They kill me slowly like some sort of tropical disease
You bought a copy that was near mint
She lost her mind
By working overtime
Never seen that picture before
You look so good on that boat
But you're not with me
It took me years to swallow the pill
Thank you for the songs
She burst into tears as I lifted the veil
Thank you for the tunes
Bearing in mind we used to live in each other's pockets
The record is shaping up to be a beauty
It sounds clear as a bell, it's pretty hard to tell
After some weeks, my wounds started healing
