Candle Burns
03:31

The candle burns
In the breeze
And in flames
Is the sea
In my dreams
That were sent
To heal my heart
It is spring
So I came
To break glass
And inject
What was given
To a boy
In a dream
I’m in love
With the wounds
In the sky
That were made
To see God
When she waves
From within
I’m in love
With the wounds
In the sky
That were made
To see God
When she waves
I am thin
Which is fine
In the south
Under birds
Where the wind
Blows your words
To the sun
And the light
Is in love
With the world
And space
And girls
That scratch
Their face
And the world
Wants a fuck
By a boy
Who was given
To the stars
With a name
And a vision
And the world
Wants a fuck
By a boy
Who was given
To the stars
With a name and a vision
And I’m already free
I’m already gone
I’m already free to travel on
I’m already fine
And clear as the sun
I already did
What had to be done
Over bridges
And below
There’s space
Your heart
Is safe
These days
Are moments
These moments
Are real
As dreams
In space
Where time
Is like
A flower
I’m in love
With the wounds
In the sky
That were made
To see God
When she waves
From within
I’m in love
With the wounds
In the sky
That were made
To see God
When she waves
And the world
Wants a fuck
By a boy
Who was given
To the stars
With a name
And a vision
And the world
Wants a fuck
By a boy
Who was given
To the stars
With a name and a vision

She Changes Everything
04:55
|

Bring me to another world
Bring me to another world
I’m in love with acting girl
I’m in love with acting girl
And I can’t avoid to see her
And I can’t avoid to want her
And I can’t avoid to fall for her
When I get thin the walls get thin
When I get thin the walls get thin
And will I ever eat again
And will I ever eat again
And she comes in slow vibrations
And she comes in waves and quick
And she comes in many colours
Aih aih aih aih aih aih aih …
She changes everything
She changes everything
She changes everything
She changes everything
She comes in waves, electric waves
She comes in waves, electric waves
The oceans sing and Jesus saves
The oceans sing and Jesus saves
And she comes in tears and kisses
And she comes with sounds of spring
And she comes and slowly changes everything
Aih aih aih aih aih aih aih …

Into Her
03:05
|

My girl is shopping
She wants a cute thing
To wear on Saturdays
Ice-cream and sunrays
Cool Days
Help Me
Believe Me
She’s in a shoe-shop
Next to a bus-stop
Sunshine, no rain drop
Down by the main dock
Silk sock
Sunshine
Bleak sky
Sunshine
Bleak sky
Silver sky
Apple-pie
Silver sky
Apple-pie
I’m on vacation
Liquid and patience
Through all these bright days
Through all these light greys
Out of phase
And
Into her
Into her
Into her
Into her
Into her
Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah

All The Angels

I’m miles away
From writing a song
I’m miles away
From writing a song
I’m miles away from you
I’m miles away from you
I’m miles away
From where my heart is
I’m miles away
From all that’s clear
I’m miles away from you
I’m miles away from you
When the lemon trees grow
I’ll see you again
When the lemon trees grow
I’ll love you again
Call you up again
I’m miles away
From all the angels
I’m miles away
From all my friends
I’m miles away from you
I’m miles away from you
Light years away

The House Is Clean
04:09
|

The house is clean
I cleaned all day
I mopped the floors
Threw trash away
The house is clean
And silence sings
Out on the stairs
I wait for spring
My sister sleeps
And so do I
I’m not alone
Under this sky
Under these stars
In your hotels
I sang your songs
And I did well

Ashes Ashes
02:26
|
|||
Gave up after the first line
We don’t know who we are
When I was 15 I ran away from home
Open here
And you were always with me
And there was a tower there
They were losing their identity
Ashes ashes
Bones clothes
There are no laws
Orange sunlight fell in from the left
Another record was made
Keep refrigerated
I was totally bored and lonely
Although I had everything I wanted
The sinking sun fell in from the left
Antennas were made to give the sky
A look of disorganization
We don’t know who we are
I turned on the light
No matter where you look
You see people pissing and shitting
We hitch-hiked to Avignon in 1975
What was the use of words?
The moon never came up
Structure
I was lost
Poems to the medieval French sky
We don’t know who we are
A blue building surrounded by earth
I didn’t believe in it anymore
We mixed our pain like dolphins
Open here
Inspiration is not where it’s at
Hotel
It is big and inside of you
I could stand here for the rest of my life
I wish I didn’t exist
I did not make sense
Because I didn’t believe in sense
Friends were waiting with warm food
In rented rooms driving machines
Were waiting for young boys
I tried to give up and I succeeded

Under God's Blue Sun
04:23
|

I’m a blue-eyed guy
With a blue-eyed soul
I’m gonna win the lottery
Every loving day
Under God’s blue sun
‘til the dream is done
Under God’s blue sun
‘til the dream is done
I’m a summer boy
In a cool hotel
I’m gonna stand here waiting
‘til you come and love me
‘til your make-up melts
Under clouds of cream
‘til your make-up melts
And the sparrows scream
And I don’t wanna live in houses
Cause I just can’t live in houses
I’m a blue-eyed bird
And I can’t be domesticated!
I’m a blue-eyed moon
In a suntan sky
In this blooming wilderness
Where everyone is free
Under God’s blue sun
You can sleep with me
Under God’s blue sun
You can sleep with me
And the blue light falls from heaven
And the nightingales they sing
I’m a blue-eyed bird
And I’ll promise anything
Anything…!

Kiss In The Wind
03:17
|

One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
Now go cat go
Go into town
To the girl I miss
Tell her I love her
And give her a kiss
Kiss in the wind
Wind on the bed
Sleep in the corner
Ice in your head
Head full of heaven
Speak no sound
Soft wind blow
Planet go round
Sting my vein
Lick my skin
The sky is clear
And paper-thin
Blow my soul
To the sun
I was you
And everyone
Kiss in the wind
Wind on the bed
Sleep in the corner
Ice in your head
Head full of heaven
Speak no sound
Soft wind blow
Planet go round
One for the money
Two for the show
Three to get ready
And four to let go

The world was made in seven days
And it’s windy out there, it’s a beautiful place
And I see that you want somebody to hold
Cause you painted your toe-nails metallic and gold
God got laid and she came with shivers
Under insects and trees down by the river
The world is a planet in outer space
Where a girl like you gotta paint her face
You’re delicate delicious little sugar-pie
And your hands are wet and your mouth is dry
I’ll give you love and sex and sadness
All through the summer on your ocean-matress
I like you real bad and you know I do
You’re a sweet little chicken and intelligent too
God got laid and she screamed and squealed
Under orange lights near a football-field
The earth is a planet and it sings at night
I’m gonna take you home and I’ll treat you right
I’ll do anything to make you feel good
If you don’t mind the cats that scream in the neighbourhood
God got laid in a bra and sandals
Surrounded by 24 pink candles

Under The Walnut Tree
03:19
|

Under the walnut tree
My dear little sister and me
The crickets were all around
Big sound!
We laid in the blue grass
Watching the falling stars
That say we’ll meet again
In Paris by the Seine
She whispered when she promised it to me
Under the walnut tree
Under the walnut tree
We shared a cigarette
We could not sleep
In one bed
She was so delicate
And I was inarticulate
But I know we’ll meet again
In Paris by the Seine
She whispered when she promised it to me
Under the walnut tree
Under the shallow sjky
My dear little sister and I
In summer behind the church
Birds fly
I was so glad to meet her
One day I’ll eat her!
In Paris by the Seine
We’re gonna meet again
She whispered when she promised it to me
Under the walnut tree

In November I was painting ‘cause I ran out of songs
I was sitting at the edge of nowhere something had gone wrong
I was talking and coughing and looking for the truth
But I did not feel a thing I was just like a dead tooth
I was hanging on the telly while the season turned to spring
I was writing on my wrist and still didn’t feel a thing
The stuff that I had painted was now falling off the walls
My friends had all gone fishing there was no one I could call
There was a picture of a field with the streetlights in a row
The sky was slowly fading and the clouds were hanging low
I was starving for a feeling an idea at least a curse
I was drinking like a madman looking for a nurse
There were still too many summers they were bound to crush me dead
There was sunlight on my pillow and oceans in my head
There were people in my room and they spoke without a sound
While I dreamed I fell off buildings and never hit the ground

On A Ship
04:33
|
|||
I will go on a ship
This ship will not touch land anymore
For a long while
I’m preparing a travel
I’m speaking with God and her sisters
In the sunshine
Possibilities
Are written in love and light
And the music goes on
Forever
I’m sweating, I’m dreaming
I’m flying with songs of home
On the radio white noise
And static
I’m not holding on
I’m happy and gone now that nowhere
Shines before me
There’s nowhere like home
Some sweet aerodrome with scattered seashells
Near the doorways
Possibilities
Are written in love and light
And the music goes on
Forever
Beautiful were
Vacations by the sea
And I dream of the waves
For a moment
