First in line

Look me up, with my head in my pocket
Look me up, with my head in my pocket
to see her coming home

Well forgotten, say can't you see her
well forgotten, say can't you see her
moving down the line

And it's hard to live and it's hard to die 
and it's hard to give your heart away
and oh, pretty girl it's hard to steal

In april I was sleeping with an anchor
Thursday I was fishing in the harbour
where ladies sleep

And the sun will always shine upon your face
as your parents watched the silver screen
Stolen days, when freedom got it's price
after the walk over frozen water

You held me down on the dirty backseat
pressure of the hand and the fingers
and the pleasure won

I will always, go by your side
but it's hard to get drunk tonight
and It's hard to smoke your mothers cigarettes
afraid of stealing
afraid of lying
afraid of losing my 

mind.






24/7

Breathing eyes, gold mine
she don't deserve my world
feelings of the 4th may
but my feet were cold.

Shine on your pretty eyes
shine to black
somewhere when the night lost faith
I better call your old ma'

Some for the wanting
hard days
fallen angels band was playing tonight
Some for the needing
hard earned days
fallen angels band was playing tonight

On my way down
that we use to know
I should have given some more
on my way down
24 hour days
there's a hole in my bed

Do you realize it rips my heart out
fade to black and fade to home
she sees me with the devil's eyes
but I can't see why

You meant to go away
never meant to be here to stay
never meant to be all
as your mother cried

Some for the wanting
hard days
fallen angels band was playing tonight
Some for the needing
hard earned days
fallen angels band was playing tonight

Do you remember when I moved in you
and your mother was a long way from here
you were my gold mine
but you had to grow


Sleep little angel love
sleep until the summer comes
shine as the sun you are
sleep for me sleep for me


All the life that we kept inside
I should have given some more
on your way down
I will lift you up
you cut your hair and smiled in the mirror rain
smiled in the mirror rain.






Long life to lose


Clean up the table, it's getting late
move my bed to me
seems like the walls have gotten thicker
faces I have known

It's a long life to lose
It's a long life to lose

I better try to
face it all alone
The glow inside her
I'm working for myself
To see her wake up in my bed tomorrow
givin' me a medication against sorrow

It's allright, ma
It's allright, ma
It's allright, ma
It's allright, ma

It ain't over yet
I'm just losing my time
to the letters she wrote
release this ball and chain
There's so many ways in the life to get stronger
but I'm weak as ice if I got back the time when I had her

Found it beating harder
on the dirt road you came
and the two-time-rumble
and the hope to her to come
why are you breaking up in tears
only work and only time to go

But It ain't over yet
I'm just losing my time
to the glow inside her
and I'm working for my self
to see her wake up in my bed tomorrow
we could be two lonely souls between the feathers

It's a long life to lose
without you
It's a long life to lose
without you
It's allright
It's allright
It's allright
when I found you






Shades of green


On my early road from town
while the morning's passing by
on gravel roads

I see trees in red and brown
and yellow.
Seems to be shades of green.

Oh why
do the fall cover me
Oh, I just
have to wait and see

Honey I won't dare to lie
on the day you die
I die too

On my early ride from town
while the sun hurts my eyes
through the car window

Spending my money
on travellin' wheels
trying to fight the storm
trying to be the one

Honey, I won't stand a chance
on the day you die
I die too

While you escaped my mind
you came twice as much again
the following day
oh, I hate this way
from town and gravel roads.

Sing a long I bet you do
The radio's playing the same old tune
I dont know the signs of my tears
I guess its only morning air

This should be a beautiful day
But I'm no longer know those words
Half asleep and babe I'm burning
while I'm looking far away

Oh why
do the fall cover me
Oh, I just
have to wait and see

Spending my time
on homesick roads
Trying to stay in shape
forcing the hours to go


Honey I won't dare to lie
on the day you die
I die to

On my early ride from town
while the sun hurts my eyes 
through the car window

Honey, I won't stand a chance
on the die you die
I die too

Honey I won't dare to lie
on the day you die
on the day you die
I die too
I die too
I die too






Black and blue  (pale angel you)


45 ways to heaven
you pale angel you
oh, how your skin and the white skies
goes with your shoe

All my ridden days
will open up the doors
Hang my mind up high
she wore black
she wore black and blue

Hard times the bottle won't tell 'bout
nor her friend Charlotte
Were you alone by the river
with the pale angel song

The room was filled up
with broken dreams and modest men
Hang my mind up high
her heart was black
her heart was black and blue


Hold me there on the boardwalk
and everyone will know
She had let go, her heart and signs
she read each, one by one
as her heart would fall
break apart in two

I saw you in the pale skies
you were one, and I won't cry
cheating on the dancefloor
inventing me again 
and again and again
again and again



45 ways from heaven
but they all leads from you
how will I live to embrace
your white angel song

Hold me there on the boardwalk
and everyone will know
She had let go, her heart and signs
she read each, one by one
as her heart would fall
break apart in two

I saw you in the pale skies
you were one, and I won't cry
sweet you tomorrow
again and again 
and again and again
again and again





Then I kissed her softly (promising her to never leave)


I fell in the muddy water
in the old backyard afternoon
somehow, the city is golden
and somewhere is home
It's allright, Tessie
under the bleeding sun
they closed the station so long ago
all day and summer long


Some things I do cause I love you
other to make you love me
But that doesn't mean sweet angel
that either of them isnt true
To be undying
in a dying society
I hope someday you will wear my last name
all day and summer long
all day and summer long


I fell in the muddy water
I was blinded by hate
old home streets and all white trees
and climbing the stairs
At the corner of the railroad
where the sun allows the dust 
to move from side to side
all day and summer long
all day and summer long


I know I know
there is something
I know, I learned it from you
you are made of gold


I fell in the muddy water
we are all the victims
(and the murderers)





Come on up (sketches of an early thursday)


Come on up
my babe
come on up
Back on the top
my babe
come on up

like a lethal machine
morning came, start to dream
diamond days are made of this

all the broken dreams that were stolen
There's no such place as far away

Time
there is time for them all
the light was shining and the band
was playing low


Come on up
my babe
come on up
Back on top
my babe
move on up

my destiny
always comes back to your shoe
I'm a different man different days

Cold mornings dies in our hands
Those were the diamond days

Time
there is time for them all
the snow was falling
and it all was so fucked-up


all The virgins die on the radio
don't you see we're all gonna die in here




Pale


I know what you're waiting for
to see my heart fall down
somewhere
sometime
I say
bye bye

I know what you want from me
to give me tears on my fingers
somewhere
sometime
I say 
bye bye

You wanna leave
you wanna stay
freeze frame, freeze frame
bye bye, bye bye





Jeanna


J once smiled, smiled my way
J once looked back at me
J once found in a dream
and it is placed upon your face

Fly
fly so high
J once turned from blonde to black

For the light
for the light
and the glow
lightin' beauty

six times why
questions about you
time in place and time in mind

And I know you can't be someone else
I can sense it in your fragile touch
I know you can't be someone else
as you slowly gone to start
Illusions and eyes 
again, Jeanna


And I know you can't be someone else
and I wonder what you saw
This time I caught you smiling
when you're replaced by empty streets
I'll be down,
stuck in time,
Jeanna






Mallards


I know you never
wanted to hurt me
but you did
sure you do
Shouting at the neighbour's dog
you smile
so heavenly drunk
There's a car out waiting
on the city street
for you to come out and shine so bright
And I look into the dusty space
and I can't let you go


It should have been you
my old forgotten love 
It should have been you
my old forgotten love 


And the flowers built a shelter
and the stick in my heart
growin' bigger by the day
And it's oh, so quiet in here
'cept some furious sounds from the haze
From the mess of my bed I know things must be done
do you care to run - do you care to hide
I don't know how I will achieve it
but I just can't leave without you


It should have been you
my old forgotten love 
It should have been you
my old forgotten love 


And the days are so much longer now
the night is just a wasteless crime
but I promise you neither of them could break 
me down. 
If you only come and save me now
from all the things inside my eyes
come on
come on
come on
My days always looking for a brighter spot
but I don't want it, I don't need it
If you come and share my roads
I won't let you down

It should have been you
my old forgotten love 
It should have been you
my old forgotten love 


And the mallards do their funny serenade
and force me to see and I feel as silly as the birds.
Dear, do you care to know
this morning I had the feeling of dying again.
And the car that bring the light
is still a day ahead
and time is on my side
I know I have to be
better known in the morning

Then it should be me
I should be your old forgotten love
your old forgotten love
old forgotten love






Road Runner


Do you know how the story goes
guess you know it by now
better leave your mind in the car instead
I don't waiting for the war to come
praying for a lonely heart to break
bluebirds waiting for their chance

Do you know where the river ends
pray for good, pray for lords
to the lies when we were united
and surely started to faint away
far inside the setting sun
oh, the morning daylight still rests
praying for a broken heart to buy
who know what the tide will bring

I dont know where the sun will take me
but I ain't going back no more
to the start to the steady motion
one more try to rise
praying for a lonely heart to break
fading sun again




Crushed Ladybug


Raining on the window
meeting the hour of awakening alone
I wish she did too
Daybreak is a dying bride
Daybreak is a song you cant hear
Daybreak is alone and starts to fall, falling
down, down
falling down,  down


I saw white angels crying eyes
Looking down at the bus stop's rainy gutter
I feel the cotton, I feel the skin in the morning


Sleeping with clothes
sit and listen to the rain
I wish she did too


Daybreak is a dying bride
Daybreak is a song you cant hear
Daybreak is alone and starts to fall, falling
down, down
falling down,  down


I saw white angels cry their eyes out
Looking down at the raindrop's dancing water
To feel the cotton to feel the skin in the morning


I saw white angels crying eyes
Looking down at the bus stop's rainy gutter


You do it when you're leaving
I hope this song will reach you in the end
on the bus window 
was a crushed ladybug
