1. Disrespectfully Yours
You have coffee when I have a pee
you start bitching about everything linked to me
on this record played for too many times
don't you think we've discussed in to the nines
I just turn a deaf ear to you hold your tongue or tell me something new
I just turn a deaf ear to you I'm wandering you're still around
stick to your guns or shut your mouth I don't know why you're still with me
you neither do as far as I can see bite back your speech
just fade out your voice it makes me sick ending is better than mending
and even you - got the plan to make me someone new
- got the plan to make me someone new
and even you - do not have the view to pull it through
- do not have the plan to pull it through
bite back your speech just fade out your voice
it makes me sick ending is better than mending
and even you - got the plan to make me someone new
- got the plan to make me someone new
and even you - do not have the view to pull it through
- pull it through, pull it through, pull it through
2. What If?
Water is getting into my arch diming out lights - until dark
thought my construction was tight thought what I built up might stand the flood
stand the flood phrases bearing a questionmark are trying to board my barque
again I start thinking what could have been what might have been
if I made up my mind in a different way what could have been
if I made you stay again I start thinking what do they mean
what do they mean all these words like "but" and "if" haunting my brain
what does it mean when all the doubts come up again
remembering me: what should have been what could have been
what if I've followed my vision what if I've sat on the fence
if I took a different decision if I felt a change of sense
too many things I can't change too many setups I can't rearrange
too many unknown lamentos I'm singing of key should I've thought of myself
or of the pain inside climbing up the ladder I was put out of the stride
should I've tried harder banish my doubts! What do they mean
these words like "faith" and "love" bereft of their meaning
when push comes to shove what might have been
if I made up my mind in a different way what might have been
if I made you stay what might have been
3. Trainsong
Rushing down platform 8, all my efforts are in vain
disappearing in the dark are the tail lights of the train
one minute too late - it was the cab drivers fault
now I've got to wait next to a pissed yob
"got any change?" - he's getting brash
I search my pockets for some cash while he's still talking trash
stand back on platform 8 next service will be late please mind the doors
please mind the gap passengers moving from B to A
going home or coming to town who knows their journey route
different trains going on different rails wheels are finding their way
spinning round without rest heading from east to west
beds of sleepers go by train delay - another service cancelled
six past nine - I won't arrive in time I step inside the waiting room
it smells of sweat and pee and poo I hope I'll find a place to rest
I cast a desperate view my legs a tired - I'd like to get a seat
but noone seems to move his ass so I remain on my feet
4. Rise And Shine
Nothing more left to be said things get clear now in my head
u know what I feel I know what is real no more waiting for a sign
we both laid it on the line there's no alibi I have to face the sky
leaving your life - entering mine I conclude the wintertime
stranded by the tide I'll get by gotta keep u out of my head
have to keep on forgetting what you said accepting - gosh I hate the word
but I will rampant weed won't obscure my way while I rise and leave the shade
I turn over the page have to take my thoughts from u
I need to get a different view I'm leaving it behind rise and shine
I cannot take it anymore pleasant memories I've got to ignore
I'm coming back: it's my comeback I'm leaving the old track cut
gotta keep u out of my head other contents I'll put in instead
the die is cast; trancent the past - moving on
rampant weed won't obscure my way while I rise and leave the shade
I turn over the page I cannot take it anymore
pleasant memories I've got to ignore I'm coming back; it's my comeback
I'm leaving the old track the clouds that had me blind and gone
my hands untied; the knots undone I think I can make it now
yeah - I'm sure I'll make it now
5. Scratches In The Rind
I walked the hill touched by wind autumn leaves dancing round my feet
I stroke your hear and blew away the dust your pale and fading stare
where are you now? I don't really care you broke a lover's vow
I found the tree our scratches in the rind
I tried to read mossy names unsigned tiny letters hastily written down finally
blue turns grey - margins fray but memories stay images do remain
sentences stay the same plans get disarranged symbols changed
I hope you've lost all the shots I hope you've torn them apart
I hope you've burned all the words I wrote down - in believe
wish I could wipe out the trace wish I could stop giving chase
guess I could wipe out the trace guess I could stop giving chase
turning around myself for too long I've lost what's going on
banning all what's left in a chamber I feel fine keeping my head above water
I survive still too weak - to take your things, torn them apart
still too proud - to call your things great memories who are you now?
I don't really care where are you now? I don't really care I walked the hill
touched by wind autumn leaves dancing round my feet
guess I could wipe out your trace guess I could stop giving chase
turning around myself for too long I've lsot what's going on
still too weak - to take your things, torn them apart
I'm looking forward to that day
still too proud - to call your things great memories
I deny don't want to glorify
kissed your lips - they had the taste of drying wax
badly surprised I turned away shut the door - having just left the rack
seemed I had left the play smelt your scent - it put a neelde in my heart
I wasn't ready for the fray
6. Different Pace
A new portrait in your frame not finished yet - I hit the floor
trying to avoid in the distance lies deceit your lips will not purge my sin
stains of wine and blood grow pale vivid colours fade away
step by step taking the uneven path slow down your pace, I need a rest
I'm tired of trying to reach the crest side by side facing the turn-off
your life-line's straight but I need a map give me a hint where to go
new episode in your soap let time feed your desire
revision is dope; vision is hope and the new ring puts on rust
your finger's to small in my presence lies defeat
your collection's incomplete other portraits to be seen
different actors on the screen side by side reaching the turn-off
if you can't wait give me a hint which direction I've to take
I have to find my own pace can't march in step; I'll give you a smile
I will wave you goodbye new episode in your soap let time feed your desire
revision is done; vision is hope step by step taking the uneven path
slow down your pace, I need a rest
7. What's up God?
Don't you bear the voices calling for someone shaped like you
watch their fingers clenching round the cross once misconstrued
what's wrong god you became odd this was your job why did you stop
now you look helpless god you're still mute what about your son
we'd like to salute we'd like to see the one now you can show us your skills
it seems to be your chance pull yourself up
oh, sorry - didn't know you feel sick you're getting in retirement age
you're off, you're carried off the stage you're said to be a mastermind
so if you feel inclined get yourself going
oh sorry - did you know you feel sick hey god, what is up
hey god, your glance is sad sorry for asking, but is it your age?
"The one who's always there" a new name, would be fair
excuse me, but now I know you're feeling sick
8. Love Is As Warm As Tears
Walking inside your room I feel as if I'm lost it wast last year June
when you went out of sight but not out of mind
and I had to stay and put the past behind wandering around the brine
we're often used to stare at in summertime
I feel as if you stand on the waterside
don't you think there's something left untried standing at the place we met
I agree to be as you said have to laugh about myself yeah I do; yeah I do
I should cry about myself and my sick behaviour
but I can't keep a straight face I don't know what I should do
I feel totally displaced I feel out of place
what you've said to me left a strange flavour but now I am amused
it seems, I hope, I feel that I'm out of danger I just can laugh
driving the streets we drove I feel you be my side I make my eyes rove
but when I see the plain where we used to stop at
a voice inside my brain said let curtains drop that was the place of sorrow
this was the place of joy here I forgot tomorrow
this was where pleasure and joy alloy mission, seclusion - a kind of disolution
ruction, destruction - a falling reconstruction
vexation, collision - object of derision
tension, addiction - omnipresent friction it was a time of sorrow
it was a time of joy when I forgot tomorrow
it was where pleasure and joy alloy love as warm as tears
it is a precious veil love is as cold as dark fear can be a hurting nail
