- All I See
In every heart
There's a hole
There's a space
For something new
At every start
There's a goal
There's a place
- Ask again
Dawn was breaking in the streets of Berlin
Bottles had emtied themselves without nobody noticing
You kissed me and asked me the question
Yes the big four-word one
I smiled and said ask me again, when the hangover is gone
But you didn't ask in the morning
You didn't ask me that day
You didn't ask in the summer
- Back Where We Started
It's cold when it's October here
So I guess I won't see you at my birthday this year
And who'd have thought a love like this
Would wither and wash out as a winter pulls near
I'm not gonna cry about it
No, I'm just gonna lie about it
Your laughter filling my sails
- Break of Day
Lying back to back at 10 to 1
You're awake, like me
Trying to conceive that done is done
You made a mistake, I see
But I'm a little too tired, baby
It's a little too late
To bring it up
- Count To Ten
There are faces, there are smiles, so many teeth, too many arms and legs
And eyes and flashing buttons all around me
I'm a-watching, I'm a-breathing, I'm a-pushing, I'm a wishing
That these walls would not be talking quite so loudly
I have lost it once before I've pulled myself up from the floor
And I am looking for a reason to stay standing
But sometimes it's just too much or not enough or something else
It's so much bigger than my head, it's too demanding
- Craftmanship And Poetry
Another evening on your own
You wander round your perfect home
You watch the silent furniture you carefully picked out earlier this year
You wonder how it came to this
Had your aim but it seems you missed
All you wanted was his love but you soon discovered that was not enough
- Fuel
I could have sworn I had you wrapped around my finger
Could have sworn I had you eating out of my hand
I could have sworn I was the first the last the one the only
I Should have known that you're not easily persuaded
Should have known that you're not that easy to impress
Should have known that I'd be the one to lose my head and heart and marbles
I'm down on my knees
Shaking
- Head Shop
The streets are dark, the night is cold
Shadows dance in every window
The wind is biting through my coat
As evening fades I'm waiting to rise
We met this August afternoon
His insight threw me like a typhoon
And I was frail, I think he knew
- In The Red
It doesn't matter where you've been – how far
It doesn't matter how run down you are
Or if there's nothing perfect left in your heart
No, it all means nothing, it all means nothing, it all means nothing at all, at
all
I've told you every selfish lie I know
I've taken falls from dizzy heights - I've let go
- London
I'm flying over london on a cold november night
The river snakes across the vast ocean of electric lights
Fast and weightless like this marvel in the sky
The young and restless skateboard in the dark beneath the closing london eye
I'm flying over london looking down at busy streets
I scout to find a few familiar places looking up at me
Seven years since I first stepped off of this plane
- Losing
How many lies have you told today
Into the dark of your coffee cup
To cover up your footprints
How many times have I heard you say stay
Won’t you let me tie you up?
With minor cords and smoke rings
Can anybody with truthful eyes
- Lost and found
Lives have passed since we were last alone
When mornings followed nights upon your starlit roof
Everything I felt was so unknown
But in these magic hours it made sense with you
Sometimes all becomes undone
Something’s changed and something’s gone
Sometimes everything’s the same
- Magic
"I don't do this sort of thing," I said
As he leaned in and ran his fingers through my hair
I could tell he didn't believe me
And I could tell from his sweet smile he didn't care
He slipped his hand under my skirt
And for a moment I looked deep in to his eyes
I didn't see much in there
- My Mirror
When I feel your eyes on me I fall to my knees
And I wait for your look to judge and define me
I'm just a thin shell breaking in your palm
Starving for substance, identity
I am not afraid of this act of mutual creation
I take from you as you take from me
Like nervous hands reaching out for each other
Your eyes can tell no lies, I am what you see
- No Time to Sleep
Who's gonna sing the song of change
If no one can imagine life outside the beaten track
And who's gonna stop a running train
If no one cares to dwell or no one wants to look back
Somewhere along the line you gave up askin'
When it got a little too complex
But if you don't question what has been
- Nobody's Man
Take what you want from me
Take what you can
And then hide it somewhere I can't see
Out of my hands
Do what it takes to make you feel better
Never forget that you
You're nobody's man
- Old Friends
OLD FRIENDS SONGTEXT
Old friends, old friends can you picture me now
As I am walking Laugavegur
in Reykjavik town
Can you hear the ocean and the city drown
and each other around
- On the run
I wake in the morning with one thing on my mind
To get up on my feet and be on my way
The wide roads are calling and I'm running out of time
To make the most of this exciting day
Hey!
Everybody's gotta end up somewhere
- One
One
One touch can fill a life of longing
Not much is so much more than nothing
Yeah - All you need is
One
An open smile to win you over
One single step will bring you closer
Yeah - All it takes is one
- Room With A View
I need a room with a view
An armchair by the window
a cup of coffee and a cigarette or two
Watch the sky turn from hazy gray to black
Watch my neighbours go to work
and look exhausted and burned out when they get back
Thinking about you
Thank God for this beautiful view
- Sacre coeur
Poison racing through my veins
A sordid pull to the insane
A constant gravity to change
And I don't know where to go
Paris breaths beneath my feet
Thirsty skin against concrete
My sacred heart misleading me
- Someone You Love
You came to me in peace
I gave you what you wanted but no more
than just enough
And now i'm on my knees
Have mercy on my soul
I am here to return your love
I'm reaching to be found
- Something You Can Keep
One for the morning one for the evening
One for the dark hours hidden in between
One for the notion one for the feeling
And one for every single
Place you′ve ever been
There is a song for every
- Spark
Sweet darling, won't put your love to the test.
Free falling is how you love me the best.
Wooh!
Don't stop following your own runs, don't stop following your heart.
Don't stop falling in love, don't let anything kill the spark.
Ooh no.
Wooh!
Sweet darling, don't come a learn to your faul.
- The Time of Our Lives
I remember 17 endless summer
I'll never ever forget i'll never forget
Like feathers in a dream
Young lovers
The grass was cold, our bodies wet
I'll never forget
- The Woman Downstairs
I ceremonially undress
For she who in my dreams reveals
All that she long and cares
I take off all my clothes
For the woman downstairs
The faded cotton shirt
A woolen jacket from a time
- Use Me
So you've messed it up
Don't know when to stop
Said more than enough
I've touched you where it hurts
And I know I'm not the first
But please don't make it worse
- Warm Sand
You held the door
Looking over your shoulder
Face to the floor
It was already over
They took a good look at you
They knew that you couldn't follow through
Just stood there and laughed at you
What could I do?
- Watching Him Go
I must be crazy to tell you what I’m telling you now
It’s kinda personal but I’m way beyond being proud
I just spent a year saying no to this man chasing me down
Then he got over me the minute I turned around
I was so hell bent on being alone
A left-over dream I should have out-grown
- You Wanna Teach Me to Dance
I was never much of a dancer
I never found the way to move
With legs like strangers
And these arms that never had a clue
No I was never much of a dancer
I keep the music in my head
I keep my head on my shoulders
And shake what I've got inside
