No Christmas In Aleppo
04:51
|

There is no Christmas still in Aleppo
As a matter of fact, we have no one there
Sitting on my couch and watching the videos
A can of coca-cola in my hand
Maybe just one drink was all I demand
Somebody was waiting for something we didn’t know
Some kind of joke or some kind of miracle
Um... The story’s never been told
Um... The story was way too old
Um... How could we ever know?
The place we never went, the child we never met
Were on the news again, my coffee turned cold
The gunman’s dead now, war hasn’t come yet
The blood won’t spill on me, at least I was told
Um... The story has been told
Um... The story has been too old
Um... How could we possibly know?
Um… Buy something tomorrow
Um... There ain’t any snow
Um… Have to close my windows
Turn off the radio
There is no Christmas still in Aleppo
As a matter of fact, we have no one there
Sitting on my couch and watching the videos
A can of coca-cola in my hand

Inside Your Room
03:02
|

I wish I could give you everything I owned
I wish I could tell you everything I know
The brightest star at night might be gone tomorrow
But we've been here long enough to let it go
So we will find out how much time we love wasting
Believing inside your room
I need a voice to read the lines I've loved the most
I need a place to stay with all the friends I've known
Too many we can see, so little we could have cared
The weather's looking good, play hide and seek somewhere
When our world is turning to the shade we can always lie here
Dreaming inside your room
I used to be away from the busy streets
I used to be afraid of their rolling heat
But now our time has come
To be alive together
The pain we felt today
They don't have to be remembered
I long for life in here, I long for a brand new day
We'll be starting inside your room
Inside your room
Inside your room

Every day, every night
I've been looking for a little chance
Compromise and jealousy
Sometimes make my shoes so heavy
Was I born like this?
I fake a smile and have my cry inside
I close my eyes and have a prayer in my mind
Don't let the sun go down
Hold your last beam of light
Make your choice right now
Wake me up when you cry
The boat will sail away
I'll see you again someday
Tell me why , they said to me
You deserve more than what you can be
Simplify your lullaby
I don't understand a word you've sung
Shall I be myself?
The rain will burn
The sun will turn to black
I fare you well
Before you ring my bell
Don't let the sun go down
Hold your last beam of light
Make your choice right now
Wake me up when you cry
The boat will sail away
I'll see you again someday
The boat will sail away
I'll see you again someday

What If?
04:34
|

What if we couldn’t stand tall?
What if they don’t know me at all?
What if I don’t have it anymore?
What if I? What if I?
What if we never change?
What if we don’t care a thing?
What if I am here to entertain?
What if I? What if I?
What if the train never arrived?
What if the dead came alive?
What if the ceremony revived?
What if I? What if I?
Everything has to change
Everything is just one last thing
Everything is here to entertain
Everything, everything

Let It All Begin Again
04:00
|

So many tongues were broken
So many birds had fallen
So many skies were closed
So many windows open
They said I sounded so much like Nick Drake
I told them I - I don’t know who he is
Is he a writer, a gambler or a dreamer
The sun is up, the moon is down
My friend
Let it all begin again
Too many angels fallen
Too many devils risen
Too many truths uncovered
Too many myths unanswered
And that is why
We are just in a circle
What have we done?
Put down all of your burdens
Heavens were damned
Hells were blessed
In my church
The moon is up, the sun is down
My friend
Let it all begin again
Let it all begin, let it all begin
Let it all, let it all
Let it all begin again

Killer Whale
06:30
|

Killer whale in the deep blue sea
Swimming to the edge of the world
He's alone but now he's free
Going to the place he got lost
No matter if it's day or night
Killer whale will still be searching for his light
Until the day he dies
Paralyse your mind
Get ready to fly to the sky
Beautify your prime
Take a look at the melting ice
Killer whale
Killer whale in the deep blue sea
Thinking about the time he sleeps
Your family is too hard to fish
Your eyes are just too good to weep
When you'd found the light you saw
You know it's only
Something you have seen before
The reflection of the moon
Paralyse your mind
Get Ready to fly to the sky
Beautify your prime
Take a look at the melting ice
Paralyse your mind
Get Ready to fly to the sky
Beautify your prime
Take a look at the melting ice
Killer whale

Have you ever felt the blues of Jimmy Lee Williams?
Have you ever left home thinking
if you are the only one?
But we don't do it here anymore
We only share our jokes
No more teachings, no more preachings
Or reading your second-hand books
Even though the crisis here is new
Nothing wrong to prove my point of view
Someone else will shake your sunshine
Someone else will know
It's too risky to be sober
Take off all your clothes
There's a beach in Somalia
Locking up fishermen's souls
I wanna see how life's been there
This is where I will go
Even though we never have a clue
The dream is made-up but the fear is true
Now we're so lost - what you gonna do?
How much longer til we make it through?
You can be my guest today
Help me blow my blues away in time
Have you really felt the blues of Jimmy Lee Williams?
Have you told the hobo about
The prize that you have won?
You can dial back to the number
If they can stand your jokes
They'll wish you luck and turn you aside
Without a second look
Have you ever, have you ever..

Throwing candy out to the crowd, dragging down the main
The helpless little thing with the dirty mouth who's always got something to say
You're sitting around at home now waiting for your brother to call
I saw him down in the alley, having had enough of it all
Said you can do what you want to whenever you want to
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
All spit and spite, you're up all night and down every day
A tired man with only hours to go just waiting to be taken away
Getting into the back of a car for candy from some stranger
Watching the parade with pinpoint eyes full of smoldering anger
You can do what you want to whenever you want to
You can do what you want to, there's no one to stop you
Now you can do what you want to whenever you want to
Do what you want to whenever you want to
Do what you want to whenever you want to though it doesn't mean a thing
Big nothing

Blackout In Adelaide

Blackout in Adelaide
The bugs were singing louder than before
Lagging behind
I was kind of missing my home
Heavens for sale
I've been dying from mortality
Starlight ramble
Tossing all the tide
Tide
Tender as shoreline
Diving in the good old days
Catching the sparkle
They were staring back at me
Tide

Hey Do You!
03:20
|
|||
Hey do you need someone to comfort you?
Hey are you too lazy to break the rules?
There is no one coming by
There is nowhere you can hide
Maybe we can say goodbye
To our crazy little mind
You can tell me how
Every time is now
In the end we won't be here around
Hey do you lose control when you have to choose?
Hey are you so confused, don't know what to do?
If you're early, you can wait
Turn your head and go your way
Make them suffer and make them pray
When they find out it's too late
What you doing here?
What you fear is near
Someday you will vanish from your tears
Hey do you need someone to comfort you?
Hey are you too lazy to break the rules?
Hey do you lose control when you have to choose?
Hey are you so confused, don't know what to do?
Hey do you need someone to comfort you?
Hey are you too lazy to break the rules?
Hey do you lose control when you have to choose?
Hey are you so confused, don't know what to do?
