On a day like this, a hundred lifetimes ago
You on a shore, across the point
I looked through my hands and you drew me your mind
When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
On a world like this, a hundred turns left to go
Deep in a room, which I’ve never seen
Outside it’s so cold but I’m waiting for time
When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
Plenty of islands between now and then
Rocks break the boats of the painted face men
And they drown, and they’re born
And they live once again
And this all happens
When you were mine
In a storm like this, a hundred kisses of snow
You with another so easily sleep
What’s real and what’s dreamt become close and entwine
When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
When you were mine
Oden in the sky up high
Let the ravens of yours fly
To guide us on our sail to foreign shores
Let your ravens fly
The wind blows through my hair and fills our sails with hope and pride
Caress these lines of oak wind, do not throw us all aside
The wild cold deep black ocean’s waves as wide as sky above
Carry us, oh Gods of sea, don’t take us down below
Now approach the shore at dawn
All is still the light of daybreak is yet to be born
Clad in morning dew asleep
The city’s walls rise before us men from the seas
Carrying cold steel at our sides
No time to lose at sunbirth we attack the city by surprise
Down the coastlines with the wind we reign
Men of the North we leave the shores in flames
Shores in Flames…ahh, Shores in Flames
Shores in Flames…ahh, Shores in Flames
Hey! Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Once again now!
Matilda, Matilda, Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Five hundred dollars, friends, I lost:
Woman even sell me cat and horse!
Heya! Matilda, she take me money and run Venezuela.
Under Peruvian skies
Vanessa regretfully waits
The story unfolds in her eyes
Where midnight hysteria’s no big surprise
Battered and bruised
Always confusing
The love that she’s losing for hate
Poor Vanessa
Well it don’t matter to me what you say, what you say
And it don’t matter to me what you’re doing alright, alright
Because I’ve heard it all so many times before
Just what you’re saying and
I don’t really want to hear it all no more, no more
Don’t wanna hear it no more
Cos there’s no way that you can run
Cos I’m gonna find you
And there’s nobody that you can turn to
Cos I’ll be behind you just to remind you
That it don’t matter to me what you say, what you say
Well it don’t matter to me what you’re doing alright, alright
It seems to me it’s been too easy for you for too long
So you’d better climb down before you fall and hurt your pride, your pride
You’re gonna hurt your pride
Cos there’s nowhere that you can run to
Cos I’m gonna find you
And there’s no place that you can stay
Cos I’ll be behind you just to remind you
Now, if she ever comes now, now
If she ever comes now, now
If she ever comes now…
Now, if she ever comes now, now
If she ever comes now, now
If she ever comes now…
Ah oh, it looks so good
Ah oh, she’s made out of wood
Just look and see
Oh, it’s made out of wood
Just look and see now
She ever comes, she ever comes now
Now, now, now, now
She ever, ever, ever comes n-n-n-now…
Well, I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer
Well, I woke up this morning, and I got myself a beer
The future’s uncertain, and the end is always near
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, baby, roll
Let it roll, all night long
Love comes to you and you follow
Lose one on to the heart of the sunrise
Sharp distance
How can the wind with its arms
All around me
Lost on a wave and then after
Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise
Sharp distance
How can the wind with so many around me
Lost in the city
Lost in their eyes as you hurry by
Counting the broken ties they decide
Love comes to you and then after
Dream on on to the heart of the sunrise
Lost on a wave that you’re dreaming
Dram on on to the heart of the sunrise
Sharp distance
How can the wind with its arms all around me
Sharp distance
How can the wind with so many around me
I feel lost in the city
Sunrise, and the new day’s breakin’ through
The morning of another day without you
And as the hours roll by
No-one’s there to see me cry
Except the sunrise…
The sunrise and you.
Aaah, aaah
Aaah, aaah oooh
Tired eyes drift across the shore
Looking for love and nothing more
But as the sea rolls by
No-one’s there to see me cry
Except the sunrise…
The sunrise and you.
Sunrise - bless my eyes
Catch my soul - make me whole again
I thank you for those items that you sent me
The monkey and the plywood violin
I practiced every night, now I’m ready
First we take Manhattan, then we take Berlin
Hate New York City
It’s cold and it’s damp
And all the people dressed like monkeys
Let’s leave Chicago to the Eskimos
That town’s a little too rugged
For you and me, you bad girl
Rollin’ down the Imperial Highway
With a big nasty redhead at my side
Santa Ana winds blowin’ hot from the north
And we was born to ride
Roll down the window, put down the top
Crank up the Beach Boys, baby
Don’t let the music stop
We’re gonna ride it till we just can’t ride it no more
From the South Bay to the Valley
From the West Side to the East Side
Everybody’s very happy
'Cause the sun is shining all the time
Looks like another perfect day
I Love L.A. (We love it)
I Love L.A. (We love it) [ETA: Actually I love NYC, it’s my 3rd favorite city in North America. As for Chicago…well…]
I’ll never forget the day
We motored stately into big L.A.
The lights of the city put settlin’
Down in my brain.
Though it’s only been a month or so,
That old car’s buggin’ us to go.
We’ve gotta get away and get back on
The road again.
The central nervous system
Is the brain and the spine
The brain controls the system
And the spine is the line
Telegrams come in
To tell what’s happening to you
Then telegrams go out
To tell your body what to do
