Lyrics

1.
Quietly
I'm never gonna find that little piece of mind for so long
I'll never see aa face in a tiny embrace like you do
Always here ta fake until the story breaks
It's funny that you can still laugh

Settle down, never understood the ground beneath you
You trembled when he spoke, I think you choked but I'm still alive
Said it all before, I know the score but waiting is a fire on hold

I feel so much greater than you
I see so much more than you do
And I'm here eating it all then I leave quietly

I never saw the sun, it looks like a merry gold angel
Never gonna see, never gonna be, that smile on your face
She dug a little hole into his soul and siently left him to bleed

She's knocking on your door, it's a steady four you know it will always be around, that heavy sound, so loud in your head

It's your last friend, it's your last bend, before you are ready to crash

Chorus
2.
Driving One of Your Cars
Saw you go hight above autumn clouds
Blinded my eyes when the sparks grew bigger than your lies
You\'re concealed but still so wonderful, so magical
Blinded my forehead, say can I see if it\'s me

So cold, so cold... Meet me there, alone and spared

Cause I\'m driving one of your cars

Kelowna is beautiful in summertime they say
But, even if I am sorrounded I wish you\'ll stay
But, it\'s never been your style, fun for a while, then you\'re on your own
Still I found the greatest force that\'s been ever known

So cold, so cold... Meet me there, alone and spared

Cause I\'m driving one of your cars

Dallas Friends
Saw your gentle little hand, you look so comfortable
5 to 5 is not good enough for you, nor for me, it's like a vision clear to see
I was in love the day you whispered "hello"
Run, run away, I think the dark will make you see it's not so easy

Murphy, I adored you, I did bore you before you tossed your heart away
Murphy, I adored you, I did bore you, before you lost your glow
I, I did love you, I deserved you, but even friendship passed away
Why did you go back without saying goodbye

Without saying goodbye...

I saw the stars you were tangeled in, it didn't look so comfortable... no, no
But you, you laughed so hard and I cried out your name, please tell me what to do... you, you
Your hair was in your face and I wanted to embrace my baby girl
But how can I now tell you, even smell you, when you're up there alone

Chorus
4.
Don't Say Goodbye
Distant voices broke through silence today
Bad excuses loose power, they say
Waterfalls and wonder walls surrounding
Like a secret heart that's pounding

Don't say goodbye...

Whhn I died you fell in love with me
Saw the things you always wanted to see
Back again distinct in my beliefs
After all I was the one who lied and deceived

Don't say goodye...
5.
What If
He spent too many years, walking alone spending time
like I spend money on beer
I used to be that way, expected too much I guess,
two days then get me out of this mess

Come on now, lets catch an aeroplane... fly
Don't be afraid and trouble will stay out of sight

But what if the plane crashed down
What if the sky grows too dark
Will you ever see the spark
What if the wind's too strong
What if the pilot does something wrong

Burnt once, now I'm sore
I rather stay outside and have fun while you're
opening doors
I used to be that way, expected too much I guess,
two days then get me out of this mess

Come on now, lets catch an aeroplane... fly
Don't be afraid and trouble will stay out of sight

Chorus

Love... you're so... you are so afraid my baby...
Love, love I will be there, I will be there

But what if the plane crash down

Chorus

Something's wrong...

Handbag
Let me be the one you said to me
Show your mercy, help me, cause I try so hard it hurts to
Be here and attend this ethic war
Embrace me with your shelter, 'cause it get's cold when he tells me

All these lies...

For how long, will the fire burn
'cause it saves and it kills... me
For how long, will eternity last for the thrill
How long must I wait to see his holyness
How long must it take, before the master sees me
See me now, please hear me now

You're\rockin' on your seesaw night and day
Where nothing makes a difference, nothing seems to change here
Scared to feel the ground beneath your feet
Scared to loose your grip and fall down, back where you belong, love
Wash it away yeah... wash it away

Chorus

I was wrong and hated being\right
You gave the world a\reason, so it shouldn't be a problem
Gave us something to believe in here
We blew it into pieces then we, shovelled in the dirt

Chorus
7.
Leftovers
I see cars drive me by, what do they show
A million faces ask me why, I don't wanna' go
Why do they ask me if they know? To set my head on fire
Believe this stuff will bring me higher...
I think I lost a tooth... it's true

So lets go
Pull her out
She is only there to create pain anyway
Lets go
She is dead and so they say, rotten, filled with
Things you don't wanna know about... Leftovers

I make iron out of steel, I'm strong enough to heal
It's not so bad to love yourself... just love yourself
So what do you have in mind? A lake full of booze
So you can drink yourself to sleep?
I guess we all can choose... it's true

Chorus

I don't know why she's still a friend of mine
I guess I got too used to pain
I feel the same

Chorus
8.
Sister
Sad eyed lady, silent sky
Don't say maybe, don't you lie
Every time I trip and fall, you smile
Every time I need that drink, you hold my hand for a while

My sister, dear sister... you make me cry
My sister, dear sister... do I dare to ask you why... oh why?

I fought comfort, I fought you
Sold my fortune, tell me what to do

Every time I trip and fall, you smile
Every time I need that drink, you hold my hand for a while

Chorus
9.
Sad Lullaby
Just give me one reason, now that everyone is dancing,
Now that everyone's laughing at me
You asked me too many questions, well I have given you the answers,
All that you want to hear... so

How's your brother in Melbourne? Is he still the one that listens to
Whatever you tell him
Better burn than just fade here, better poke you in the eye,
and make you cry for a while... so

So long, you're so strong
And baby, I was wrong

You can always sing to me your sad lullaby
You can always sing to me and i wont ask why
You can always trick me again with your little lie
You can always sing to me your sad lullaby... sad lullaby

You think that you are so different, you put sugar in the
salt just to make you so special
You sold your finest collection
One was standing right beside you, one was beautiful and so true

Maybe, I was too
But I stood next to you

Chorus

You sold your finest collection
One was standing right beside you, one was beautiful and so true
Believe me, I tried to follow, but you wanted me behind
You thought that I was your looser... and maybe, I was too
cause I stood next to you

Chorus
10.
How to Stop
What was it for?
All these things I carried inside for so long
Is this my score, did you let me win, why let me begin?
You're ignorant selfish vulgar... still so beautiful

I went down on my knees
With my hands down, my head down
Wasn't it through blood, that you coloured my face
When I fell outta grace, or was it true love, I died for
Sixteen times you showed me how to stop

What was it like?
Did you open your mouth, while you let him in?
How was your night, did it please the way that it used to do?
You made me throw up
'cause I couldn't sleep myself away
Couldn't see the ground
With my hands down and my head down

Chorus
11.
Paperback Boy
15 minutes, three weeks and one day
I'm glad that I decided I would stay, still hear you say
Every night is our night, but this dream
Will change tomorrow... see... I know... I mean

Wasn't it good? You bathed in wine
Wasn't it fine? You captured my mind
Clowns and horsemen did greet excitement and joy
But why did it end, my paperback boy?

Wash away your sorrow with this word, it didn't occur
That I still want you as a friend of mine, it wasn't the wine
Strange how everything, oh quickly changed
You're acting funny and a bit deranged

Chorus
12.
Ready for the Fall
Darkness is shutting me in
This is my heart and my mind, I know I haven't sinned
But everything turns to grey, no black nor white
I know I have to stay

But when he's holding me in his arms, I see all of his charm
Beauty hits me, a strike of lightning of fear
No one can lie... no one can die

You're ready for the fall you are, ready for the fall

My treasure is blinding my eyes
The golden chains around my arms, I know this isn't wise
But tell me again what to do,
Lucky is the one who'll be touched by you

But when he's holding me in his arms, I see all of his charm
Beauty hits me, a strike of lightning of fear
No one can lie... no one can die

Chorus
13.
Mary Bell
Mary I'm so sorry that your hands were taken off this crystal ball
Close to heaven, far from seven angels, they believed your overlord
Steaming pictures of their bodies, hunts to feed your vision,
cold and unbearable

Dark, dark, darkness, Mary's heading for the golden bell
Her coins were not good enough to throw in their wishing well
In their wishing well, they went to hell

Closed her eyes and jumped into the sea of Mr. Loneliness, and his companions...
But they couldn't keep her there, her light disturbed the black and grey in their living room
Minutes passed and Gabriel he laughed, your soul is smelling oh so wonderful
Mary you're so beautiful, so predictable, his hands through her hair again... and then he left

Chorus
