I Forget
When I sing and when I say
Nothing bad can happen here
I know it isn’t true but then I look at you and keep forgetting
What I know
When I sing and when I say
I will never change my mind
I know I shouldn’t promise but I look at you and then again
What I know I forget
What I know I forget
When I sing and when I say
This will last eternally
I know it isn’t true but then I look at you and so again
What I know I forget
What I know I forget
What I know I forget
When I sing and when I say
I will never change my mind
I know I shouldn’t promise but I look at you and so again
What I know I forget
What I know I forget
What I know I forget
Jeremy, Jeremiah
Jeremiah walk away, leave it be, walk away
Leave it for another day – you don’t have to set it straight
Jeremiah not today, take a rest, walk away
Let it do without you, leave it do until tomorrow
Jeremy, Jeremiah, you make the world go round
Keeping it in order with your sorrow
Jeremy, Jeremiah, so let it fall for now
Leave a little air for all this fire
You love this place, Jeremiah
Jeremiah walk with me to a new place to be
To a another battleground, it is not that very different
Jeremiah stay with me, walk with me, stay with me
Take no action, let it go, leave it ’til tomorrow
Jeremy, Jeremiah, you want the world to know
Keeping it in flames with your sorrow
Jeremy, Jeremiah, so let it stand for now
Leave a little air for all this fire
You love this place, Jeremiah
Jeremiah stay with me, walk with me, stay with me
Jeremiah stay with me, walk with me,
Stay with me, Jeremiah
Scorpions
If I go on the road again I’ll never, ever get off beaten track
I keep my seatbelt fastened and make sure I got my breaks and got my gas
And if adventure crosses me I’ll turn my car around and go right back
It’s a little too late for this
It’s a little too late for this
Someone set the bells off, tolling with a sinister sound
I’ve got to take off my shades I’ve got to look straight ahead
Walk into the street where someone took the traffic lights out ”you’ve got to take off your shades, you’ve got to look straight ahead”
I won’t go through the storm again, I tune up with my weatherman each day
I check my shoes for scorpions, I check what goes around to stay away
It’s a little too late for this
It’s a little too late for this
Someone set the bells of, tolling with a sinister sound
I’ve got to take of my shades I’ve got to look straight ahead
Walk into the street where someone took the traffic lights out
”you’ve got to take off your shades, you’ve got to look straight ahead”
Don’t look down
Don’t look down
Someone set the bells off
Impulse To Action
When early April is talking we hang by every word
United for a minute, for everyone – a bird
If I knew (then) What I know (now)
I’d rest on my impulse to action
If I knew
When early April is speaking of what never came to pass
I never meant to hurt you, I acted much too fast
If I knew (then) What I know (now)
I’d rest on my impulse to action
If I knew
Some kind of happy
Thawing up this heartland is no childs game
Literary speaking it’s quite vague
Dancing through the sitting rooms and hallways
I can see you leave your place in the crowd
Like a lonely ghost while music is loud and happy
And I know there’s no use in calling you back
You’ve released yourself and I will be stuck and happy
Some kind of
Some kind of happy
Patch by patch we put this day together
Dream to dream so seamless and so clear
Dancing through the dust and covered furniture
And I know there’s no use in calling you back
You’ve got things to do, better than just being happy
I can see you leave your place in this tale
You require freash air but I remain pale and happy
It’s a mean mean future if we should fail
Go and push your luck, I will be stale and happy
Some kind of
Some kind of happy
Thawing up this heartland is no childs game
And I understand you’ve got go
But someone has to stay and do the dancing
Being some kind of happy, you know
Trust
Soldiers of the morning they are marching in my sphere
That one is no stranger I don’t know why he is here
I hope for good intent
Soldiers of the afternoon they are marching in my sphere
The one who is no stranger I don’t know why he’s still here
What has changed
I could trust you if you want me to
I could count on you if you want me to
I could trust you if you want me to
What has changed
Soldiers of the night are marching here no more
The one who was no stranger he is gone just like before
Nothing’s changed
The Jewel Boxes
It can go into the jewel boxes, with the songs
It can fit into the jewel boxes
I can take them wherever I go
Yes, I’ll bring them wherever I go
It’s someone you loved a long time ago
You almost killed him he almost killed you too
You made a mistake like you make mistakes
You put it aside and suddenly it’s transformed
And can go into the jewel boxes
With the songs, it can fit into the jewel boxes
With the places you never really knew
The people you wanted to get through to
It’s a moment passed before it’s begun
It’s a matter of dreams only halfway spun then torn
It’ a memory saved for a rainy day
It’s the plan to do things a better way
They’re there
They’re all lying in the jewel boxes
With the songs it can fit into the jewel boxes
I can taket hem along as I go
I’ll bring them wherever I go
It’s the songs that are lying in the jewel boxes
All the things that can go into the jewel boxes
With the places you never really knew
The people you wanted to get through to
Something Other
It’s an almost unnoticable change of plan
I’ve been meaning to tell you some time
A few small adjustements, a few alterations
I’ve been meaning to tell you some time
I’m not lying
I’m not lying
I’m not lying I’m just inventing another angle on true
I’m not lying I’m just examining something other than you
Something other than leaving it as it is
It’s an almost unnoticable change of plan
I’ve been meaning to tell you some time
When the sun gets too low it gets into your eyes
I’ve been meaning to tell you some time
I’m not lying
I’m not lying
I’m not lying I’m just inventing another angle on true
I’m not lying I’m just examining something other than you
Something other than leaving it as it is
Collision
Once, I will do it
As lightly as you
I’ll hover the fields of the heart
And you’ll watch me fly
And you’ll be in awe
Once elevated
I’ll take up your game
We’ll be two clouds colliding
Keeper of Locks and Keys
I once knew you, I once held your hand
I locked the lock, I ate the key, I drank the coffee
Milk and coffee, metal taste
I put away what always leads to disappointement
Many years, what a waste
And then the sun returns and I’ll be there to greet her
Saying: Count me, count me, count me in
We’ll have no more of all this darkness
But the taste is in my mouth
It’s there just to remind me of my sin
I once knew you, I once held your hand
I thought that light would never come to those who worry
About the lock, and the key
But you grow weary of always being sorry
That’s for you, not for me
And then the sun returned and I was there to greet her
Saying: Count me, count me, count me in
I heard the sound of time and I felt the taste of sin
I’m ready, let it all begin
I once knew you, I once held your hand
This Isn’t Me
At first it gave me nothing
And then it gave too much
I had to get some shelter
Avoiding being crushed
She warned me from a distance
Don’t let your mood swings go
You’ll take away your stories
You’ll put out all the glow
This isn’t me, this isn’t me
This is somebody I put in my place while I’m gone
The hideaway got stuffy
I had to get some air
I saw it all continue
As if I had been there
With shoulders from an armour
I walk out in the world
Come lay it all upon me
And if my song is heard
This isn’t me, this isn’t me
This is somebody who’s taken my place while I’m gone
This isn’t me, this isn’t me
This is somebody I put in my place while I’m gone
This isn’t me, this isn’t me
This is somebody I put in my place….
When you’re planning the race make sure that someones waiting at the end
Keep the pace even if you doubt your strenght and friend
And the way might appear mysterious and long
To begin with
All to begin with I saw my road
Only to find it was taken by you
I held up my hand like a white flag
Asking for ceasefire and truce
We were sweeping over this land that we thought we knew
We were sweeping over this land
Over and over and over and over and over
We were sweeping this land, we were sweeping
Over and over and over and over and over
We were sweeping this land, we were sweeping
Over and over and over and over and over
Facing the music you were listening with half an ear
In case I’d have something important to say
Sweeping is over, we’re not so near
And maybe you’ll get through the day
But when the night comes and the baby is hushed you’re gonna call for me
Yes when the night comes on and the baby is shushed you’re gonna call for me
Over and over and over and over and over
You’re gonna call for me, yes you’ll call for me
Over and over and over and over and over
You’re gonna call for me ,yes you’ll call for me
Over and over and over and over and over
Over and over and over and over and over
You’re gonna call for me
