Yeah yeah yeah yeah
It’s time for you to stand up straight
To stand up straight and be upright
You’re already late
You’re headlining the show tonight
So leave your cover in the shade
And step into the light
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know know know know
I know the things that you do
I know the things that you do
So be what you be
You’re not fooling me
I know the things that you do
I know the things that you do
I will no longer hold your hand
Although you’d really like me to
From this point on
I won’t be looking after you
I really hope you’ll understand
It’s what I have to do
You know it’s hurting me as much as it is hurting you
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know know know know
I know the things that you do
I know the things that you do
So be what you be
You’re not fooling me
I know the things that you do
I know the things that you do
You’ve been living in a dream
As beautiful as that may seem
The you you do is getting old
You’ve been living in a dream
As beautiful as that may seem
The you you do is getting old
Pretty fast
Yeah yeah yeah yeah
I know know know know
I know the things that you do
I know the things that you do
So be what you be
You’re not fooling me
I know the things that you do
I know the things that you do
When you’re alone
And no one’s watching you

The Outside

The Outside
She saw it coming from a mile away
Ten trebuchets in a tight array
And then, when they came over the hill
An army of thousands
Knights in shining armour
Fighters, farmers
Lieges, vassals
Coming to siege the castle
O, it’s a wonder how
She made it to the outside
Straight into the sunlight
The places where she hid
She bid farewell
When the bomb fell
The whole thing didn’t take too long
less than a day, they were way too strong
But then, when they went in for the kill
And up to the tower
They stood nailed to the ground
Pale around the nose
And read the little note they’d found
Thanks for getting me out
O, it’s a wonder how
She made it to the outside
Straight into the sunlight
The places where she hid
She bid farewell
When the bomb fell
Knights in shining armour
Fighters, farmers
Lieges, vassals
Coming to siege the castle
O, makes you wonder how
She made it to the outside
Straight into the sunlight
The places where she hid
She bid farewell
When the bomb fell

Bigger Things
03:23

Have I heard have I heard
Seven birds were found
A possibly contagious type of flu
Where have I been where have I been
How could I possibly have missed it
It was all over the news
A hurricane named Lou
Just hit Malibu
I know there’s bigger things in life
But All I think about is you
I miss the point and hit the button
I get up and then I realize it’s almost half past two
And that I’ve totally forgotten
About that lunch date with the cartoonist who’s customized our shoes
Then he calls up out of the blue
Turns out he’d forgotten, too
See everything works out just fine
When all I think about is you
Even Matthew on my wall
Still waitin’ for a call
Doesn’t seem to mind at all
That all I think about is you
He doesn’t mind at all
There’s a party in our street
Some of my neighbours move their feet
To a brazilian steeldrum band
In a lazy, hazy heat
I sit down against my window seat
And watch the people dance
And I might just join them, too
As it’s finally getting through
I’ve never quite felt so alive
And all I think about is you

Dance

Dance
It was a day like any other
Except someone was about to die
Whom we had known for all our lives
And we’d been called to come and see her
In her home to say goodbye
It was a strange ‘though not a long drive
We didn’t talk much that day
We just went on our way
I guess there was not a lot to say
She wore a long red checkered nightdress
She had her own idea of style
Wich I had always found quite funny
But one had to come to love after a while
She said I’ll cross the great divide
See the love of my life
You have his name
Wear his name with pride
Dance
The two of you, dance
Once again
Like you used to dance

Dream

Dream
She lives
In a dream
Or so they say
And who are they
Anyway
Unless I am asleep
real deep
She’s pretty real to me
She is
What she seems
And if you think that’s strange
It might be time for you
To change
Because unless I am asleep
Real deep
She’s very real to me
So go ahead
And let it out
Move your feet
Get up
And to the beat
Let it
Go ahead
And let it out
Move your feet
Get up
And to the beat
Let it go
Just let it go

Sing For You
03:55

I sing for you
It wasn’t that we didn’t have a thing to talk about
It wasn’t that we didn’t both like the Crows
It wasn’t that we missed a single thing we couldn’t do without
And perhaps we were just slow
But you didn’t see it comin’
And I wasn’t quite prepaired
My hands on your waist
And so my love I sing for you
I sing for you
Just for you
There were times when we were lonely while together
There were times when we were drifting, far apart
There were times I should have spoken from the heart, cause really
Clever never got us very far
It wasn’t always lovin’
And it wasn’t always fair
Put a smile on your face
‘cause we’re finally there
So my love I sing for you
I sing for you
Just for you
O my love I sing for you
I sing for you
No one but you
So it wasn’t always lovin’
And it wasn’t always fair
Put a smile on your face
‘cause we’re finally there
So my love I sing for you
I sing for you
Just for you
O my love I sing for you
I sing for you
No one but you

That's When It Happened
03:46
|

That’s when it happened
His name was Rob, her name was Marjorie
Besides a love for solitaire
And solitary personalities
There wasn’t anything they shared
She had a job at the tobacconist’s
When he walked in one cloudy day
She put her magazine away
And said ‘ hey Rob, what can I help you with?’
O, that’s when it happened
O, that’s when it happened
They skipped the courtship and the coquetry
Not one single Billet-doux
Foretold in badly written poetry
The sudden love between the two
And o, ofcourse there were those who were sceptical
But they came around eventually
For fifteen years they were inseparable
Beloved Rob and sweet Marie
O, that’s when it happened
O, that’s when it happened
They seemed so good together
We had never seen them fight
Until one stormy night
November
I remember it quite well
She disappeared into the rain
He stood there calling out her name
With her leather jacket on
But she was gone
O...

Management

Management
When you're all alone in a bowl of dust
And everybody's looking to you
'cause it's you they'll follow and in God they trust
And you're the one he's talking to
You’re the only one he's talking to
Will you tell them it came
Straight down from management
Nothing you can say
Go talk to management
Why don't they
Every move you make, every single turn
The growl of your following grows
But dispite complaints they are not concerned
because they really like to think you know
Yeah, they really like to think you know
When you tell them it came
Straight down from management
Nothing you can say
Go talk to management
Why don't they
When you're tired of travelling the lonely road
crowded as its shoulder may be
When you're tired of carrying the holy load
Why don't you run to me
You can always come and run to me
I'll tell you it came
Straight down from management
Nothing I can do
Go talk to management
Why don't you

Maps

Maps
We climb to thirty thousand feet
I might say something witty
But instead I say 'that's pretty high'
And she smiles uneasily
So we're off to a bumpy start
I'm fiddling with my safety card
Wondering how
While staring down over the steppe
All rivers leave tell tale signs
In the contour lines of maps
She studies archeologie
And I can feel the ice melt
As we unbuckle our seatbelts
And we talk finally
We start off at erosion
work our way up to emotions
Lose all notion of time
As we climb and we climb
And it doesn't feel
Like thirteen years have elapsed
All rivers leave tell tale signs
All rivers leave tell tale signs
All rivers leave tell tale signs
In the contour lines of maps
And though I see it doesn’t show
The Lord above knows
How I’m trying to prevent
A heap of little things I loved
From coming back to me again
We could be friends
But then she moves her head exactly like she did back then
All rivers leave tell tale signs
All rivers leave tell tale signs
All rivers leave tell tale signs
In the contour lines of maps

Black, White and Sweet

Black, White & Sweet
Look at her go
She’s fabulous
Look at her go
I think I’m gonna cross the road and say hello
Sweet like a holiday morning
Look at her go
So slowly but
Look at her go
She’s way ahead of us as slowly as she goes
Slow like a holiday morning
It’s not quite black and it’s not quite white
It’s not to the left and it’s not quite right
But it’s sweet, so sweet
Yeah it’s sweet, so sweet
O, how sweet it is
I say hello
How do you do
I say hello
How do you do the thing you do I’m longing so
To be like a holiday morning
It’s easy, you see
I can’t believe
She’s talking to me
And she is grinning as she drops her voice down low
I’ll tell you what I know
Know about a holiday morning
It’s not quite black and it’s not quite white
It’s not to the left and it’s not quite right
But it’s sweet, so sweet
Yeah it’s sweet, so sweet
O how sweet it is
It’s not quite black and it’s not quite white
It’s not to the left and it’s not quite right
But it’s sweet, so sweet
Yeah it’s sweet, so sweet
O how sweet it is

The Minutes In Between
04:01
|
|||
Morning
It’s early in the morning, more precisely 5:03
You can tell ‘cause you can hear a bunch of keys
somebody opening the door
To the grocery store
downstairs
Early in the morning
It’s early in the morning and who really needs a clock
When every day the carts they roll into the stockroom
At exactly 6:04
And an old refrigerator
Switches on ten minutes later
You may say the days are great and I do not disagree
And if you like the night-time, hey, then that’s just fine with me
But tell me honestly, have you never heard or seen
The beauty of the minutes in between
It’s pretty much like flying as it’s written in The Guide
It says ‘don’t panic’ on the cover
And it states that ‘when you’re hovering,
Don’t think about the ground and you will be all right’
Just don’t think about the ground and you will be all right
Drifting high above the clouds there’s not a worry or a doubt
There’s not a single thing around to weigh me down
And so with every little breeze I’m flying
up, then down
With every breeze I’m flying easily
Once up, then down
Just for now I am in control
Ahead of time
‘cause I make everything go very slowly
You may say the days are great and I do not disagree
And if you like the night-time, hey, then that’s just fine with me
But tell me honestly, have you never heard or seen
The beauty of the minutes in between
The beauty of the minutes in between

Fish

Fish
May be
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
But everyone’s looking at her
She’s beyond my lyrical expertise
She’s a glitch in my system or a hitch if you please
She’s got me stuck at ‘she’s’
She’s got me stuck at ‘she’s’
So I look to the few
Who’ve done it before
I play the new and the not so new anymore
I’m checking classics for a clue
And it’s her I’m looking for
May be
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
May be
I says ‘O la la, well excusez-moi
Mais voulez vous become reine, ou l’amour sera roi
I’m quoting Andrew T, Jacques B as well as Elvis C
Singing ‘ She...’
A twirling visual overload
She’s a bomb in my temple that’s about to explode
I feel Meshuggah to a point where I could fly like Eddie V
May be
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
On and on and on and on
There’s a point to every single song
But in the end it all boils down to this conclusion
May be
There’s plenty more fish in the sea
But everyone’s looking at her
And surely as well as astonishingly
She’s looking at me
