September girl No shoes on The street is warm A summer storm Behind the trees September girl Blue t-shirt Anything you want Like a side-walk dance Plus romance September girl White flower No one ever took I’ve been here since July Please take a look September girl Fading fashion The sky is barefoot Oranges and pink Dissolve on skin September girl Party mouth Love me with your hair Around my ears Plus apples and pears September girl White flower No one ever took I’ve been here since July Please take a look The curtain flies On wind and static Sweet telepathic Soft night touch I like you so much September girl White flower No one dared to book I’ve been here since July Please take a look December trees White melodies That last forever Love me now Or never

Milkman 03:22
When the milkman comes In the February sun When the milkman touches you With his big fat gun He’s gonna pull your flower He’s gonna rip your toy He’s gonna be so mean to you Until you scream with joy When the milkman comes When the milkman comes When the milkman comes When the milkman comes Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah … When the milkman comes You’re gonna be so high When the milkman kisses you Under the milkblue sky He’s gonna tie you up In the back of his truck You can cry and beg But you won’t have luck Tangled tongues Wet lips that suck It’s a tender and delicious Milktruck fuck Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah … Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah yeah yeah Yeah …

Aegean Sun 02:23
Love as wide as oceans Flowers on my hands And I go home Like a cloud that’s going nowhere Guess you know I mean for good And that’s the option I prefer Colours blur And I surf on every channel I can get And I’m wet Like a dolphin flying Through the silent astral indigo And when the summer comes I’m sitting on the rooftop Of my dreams Waiting for the end of everything That I believed in Just to find a point to Start again I know when It’s when everything I valued loses sense Ocean ends I was surfing between Clotheslines and Italian memories And when the record’s done I’ll get into the car And press the gas And hit the road with all the lights That shine in orange When I look out of my bathroom Window glass Summers pass And I’m speeding While the starsigns take a spin I give in With your guidance I am Free as any angel ever was And when the border comes The birds around me Touch me with their wings

My girlfriend left So what can I do She just went out dancing And told me we’re through My girlfriend left The weather was fine I’m watching the rockets Make holes in the sky Just like in the sixties And when I was five When August was endless And mom was alive We crossed the Atlantic Not long before A huge ocean-liner Genova – New York The world was big A timeless place With wind and waves Circling through space And there was a girl Her name was Louise We kissed in the branches Of the maple-trees The season was summer The year sixty-eight And millions of families with their T.V.’s Were staying up late They’re sending up rockets That land on the moon For all the people All the love All The Love That I’ve Got All The Love That I’ve Got All The Love That I’ve Got All The Love That I’ve Got My girlfriend fell Like horses in flames I loved her so dearly It’s hard to explain My girlfriend fell Like horses in motion We slept in the forest We kissed like two angels I laid in the grass Like when I was three The clouds were an ocean Over the trees I don’t work The sea is blue Just like in the sixties I’ve got nothing to do I’ve been here A long long time I’m watching the seagulls Make love in the sky I bought a fridge I found a girl I want to be happy In this world I see the ships On Thermaikos Just can’t remember Where I was Before Or where I’ll go I just don’t care I’ll just give in To whatever is there All The Love That I’ve Got All The Love That I’ve Got All The Love That I’ve Got All The Love That I’ve Got

In the air Atlantic In my heart a hole In a cup of plastic Sugar from the pole In the Arab music In the stereo I is lost and holy I is indigo In the winter season ‘Neath a sun of blue I is driving in my Black VW In the water seashell In the mirror cloud In the mouth a cigarette Arab music loud In the air Atlantic In the hotel-room In the wind is pleasant All the flowers bloom I can see the ocean And a girl from France In a rubber surf-suit What a circumstance! In the air Atlantic Where the cloud is white I is talking to her In the ocean light In the blazing fishwind All the colours blur She is kissing me an I is kissing her We as high as heaven As she sucks my mouth With the flaming sweetness Of the neon south Near the camping-places Where the streetlights burn We is very happy On this holy day With tons of water Crashing On the Cap Ferret In the air Atlantic Where the pine-trees bend And the waves are heavy And the rivers end
