Failure Using the Guardian as a shield, to cover my thighs against the rain, I do not mind about my hair. Your jacket may be waterproof, but I know the moment you get home you're gonna get your tros changed. Failure is always the best way to learn, retracing your steps 'til you know, have no fear your wounds will heal. I wish I could travel overground to where all you hear is water sounds,

lush as the wind upon a tree. I wish I could travel overground to where all you hear is water sounds, to capture and keep inside of me. Failure is always the best way to learn, retracing your steps 'til you know, have no fear your wounds will heal

Homesick I lose some sales And my boss won't be happy But i can't stop listening to the sound Of two soft voices blended in perfection From the reels of this record that i found Every day there's a boy in the mirror Asking me What are you doing here Finding more that previous motifs Growing increasingly unclear I travelled far and i burned all the bridges I belived as sooned as i hit land All the other Options held before me Wither in the light of my plan So i lose some sales And my boss won't be happy But there's only one thing on my mind Searching boxes underneath the counter On a chance that on a tape i'd find A song for Someone who needs somewhere To long for Homesick Cause i no longer know Where home is

Little Kids Little kids playing in the park downtown. Someone's dad is watching from the side of the ground. I'm following my shadow so I cross the street. Car ing stereo I like the beat. Open up the door, turning on the fan. Dropping down the keys that I held in my hand, and then start waiting for her steps to be heard in the staircase, enter the room and let down her bag. Asking me all kinds of trivial questions, pretending an everyday life we don't have, pretending an everyday life we don't have, pretending an everyday life we don't have. Little kids playing in the park downtown. Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down. Little kids playing in the park downtown. Soon they'll be all gone as the sun goes down. And rises over, Brooklyn Bridge tomorrow, hours later I will follow, wake up to a life that's hollow without love. Without love.(2 times)

Live Long Summerchild that sits by the water weaving sunlight threads in his hands the golden river that day a shelter a stream where he could make pebbles dance you looked around you, nobody had taken any notice of what you saw: against the evening sky a formation a million black birds looking like one live long save ten years to live long hold it in front of your eyes once more

B D#m E Wrap it up and keep it there E F# B ...ecc ecc The observation I am doing could Easily be understood As cynical demeanour But one of us misread... And what do you know It happened again A friend is not a means You utilize to get somewhere Somehow I didn't notice friendship is an end What do you know It happened again How come no-one told me All throughout history The loneliest people Were the ones who always spoke the truth The ones who made a difference By withstanding the indifference I guess it's up to me now Should I take that risk or just smile? What do you know It happened again What do you know

Stay out of troubles A I walked around for hours, B A B two ten pence pieces in my hand. A I was alone and freezing, B A B still trying hard to understand you. A I left the others knowing B A B I had to work this by myself. A But now the feeling's growing, B A B I would be better off with their help. A B A B (arpeggiato) So baby, what we've got has lately, A B not been enough.

A B not been enough. A I wish I had your scarf still, B A B that once embraced,and kept me warm. A I wish you could be with me, B A B in these last days when I am still hopelessly poor. E* Stay out of trouble, B A stay in touch. E* B A Try not to think about me too much. E* Stay out of trouble, B A stay in touch. Try not to think about me too much.

Surprise ice When past sometimes takes you with soft hands, forcelessly pulls you to your chair, hides you away from these half days, sunless at the end of the year. The air is like a knife cutting through you, a room in the house is always warm, stretched out on the bathroom floor thinking, of fair days your future may hold. Love comes like surprise ice on the water, love comes like surprise ice at dawn. Love comes like surprise ice on the water, love comes at dawn. Deprived of the light and of the colours, the world ends at your window three, darkness creates these illusions, but pale days can teach you to see. Rain falls but no life is given, weeks no progress is made, past sometimes takes you with soft hands, and all that surrounds you will fade, and all that surrounds you will fade. Love comes like surprise ice on the water, love comes like surprise ice at dawn. Love comes like surprise ice on the water, love comes at dawn.

Toxic Girl In the sky the birds are pulling rain, in your life a curse has got a name, makes you lie awake all through the night that's why. She's intoxicated by herself, everyday she's seen with someone else, and every night she kisses someone new never you. You're waiting in the shadows for a chance, 'cause you believe at heart, that if you can, show to her what love is all about, she'll change. She'll talk to you with no one else around, but only if you're able to entertain her, the moment conversation stops she's gone, again.

Winning a battle, losing a war Even though I'll never need her, even though she's only giving me pain, I'll be on my knees to feed her, spend a day to make her smile again.

Kings of convenience - Songbook

Even though I'll never need her, even though she's only giving me pain. As the world is soft around her, leaving me with nothing to disdain. Even though I'm not her minder, even though she doesn't want me around, I am on my feet to find her, to make sure that she is safe and sound. Even though I'm not her minder, even though she doesn't want me around, I am on my feet to find her, to make sure that she is safe from harm. The sun sets on the war, the day breaks and everything is new...
