Walk across the garden / In the footsteps of my shadow / See the lights out / No-one’s home

Wondered if it ever would / Really didn’t think it could / Do it again?

Three Imaginary Boys
Waiting / For the telephone to ring / And I’m wondering / Where she’s been / And I’m crying For yesterday

The End Of The World
Go if you want to / I never try to stop you know there’s a reason / For all of this you’re feeling low / It’s not my call / You couldn’t ever love me more

A Forest
Come closer and see / See into the trees / Find the girl while you can / Come closer and see / See into the dark / Just follow your eyes / Just follow your eyes / I hear her voice

The Perfect Boy
Always meant to be, I can’t feel it / Like the destiny, And fate / Written in the stars, Inescapable fate /It’s out of my hands, Falling into your arms

One Hundred Years
It doesn’t matter if we all die / Ambition in the back of a black car / In a high building there is so much to do / Going home time, a story on the radio

The Only One
Oh I love, oh I love, oh I love / What you do to my lips / When you suck me inside / And you blow me a kiss / I love what you do to my lips / It’s so sweet in there

Boys don´t Cry
I try to laugh about it / Cover it all up with lies /I try and laugh about it
Hiding the tears in my eyes…

The Figurehead
I will never be clean again / I touched her eyes / Pressed my stained face /I will never be clean again

The Walk
Visiting time is over / And so we walk away / And both play dead then cry out loud / Why we always cry this way?

Dressing UP
Going under slowly / It never seems too late / Going under so slow / Dressing up to kiss / Dressing up to touch all this

The Hanging Garden
Creatures kissing in the rain /Shapeless in the dark again
In the hanging garden change the past / In the hanging garden wearing furs and masks

Killing an Arab
I can turn and walk away / Or I can fire the gun / Staring at the sky / Staring at the sun
Whichever I choose / It amounts to the same / Absolutely nothing

Six Different Ways
This is stranger than I thought / Six different ways inside my heart
And everyone I’ll keep tonight / Six different ways go deep inside

Faith
No one lifts their hands / No one lifts their eyes / Justified with empty words /
The party just gets better and better / I went away alone / With nothing left /But faith

Play for Today
It’s not a case of telling the truth / Some lines just fit the situation
You call me a liar / You would anyway

I am paralysed by the Blood of Christ / Though it clouds my eyes / I can never stop

Make up in the new blood / And follow me to where the real fun is / Ha ha ha!!!

Seventeen seconds / A measure of life / Seventeen seconds

Fire in Cairo
F.I.R.E.I.N.C.A.I.R.O / Then the heat disappears / And the mirage / Fades away…

A night like this
I’m coming to find you if it takes me all night / Can’t stand here like this anymore
For always and ever is always for you / I want it to be perfect like before

Just Like Heaven
“Why are you so far away,” she said / “Why won’t you ever know, That I’m in love with you, That I’m in love with you?”

Other Voices
But I live with desertion and eight million people / Distant noises, other voices

Remembering you running soft through the night / You were bigger, and brighter and whiter than snow

Lovesong
Whenever I’m alone with you / You make me feel like I am free again

If Only tonight we could sleep
And the rain would cry / As our faces slipped away
And the rain would cry / Don’t let it end…

Let´s Go to Bed
But I don’t care if you don’t / And I don’t feel if you don’t
And I don’t want it if you don’t / And I won’t say it…

High
And when I see you / Take the same sweet steps / You used to take / I say I’ll keep on holding you…

Gone !
But if you do that you’ll be missing the world / Because it doesn’t stop turning whatever you
heard / If you do that you’ll be missing the world

Watching me Fall
I’ve been watching me fall for it seems like years / Watching me grow small, I watch me disappear / Slipping out my ordinary world, out my ordinary eyes

I can’t find myself / I can’t find myself / I can’t find myself / I can’t find myself / In the head of this stranger in love

And I know I was wrong, When I said it was true, That it couldn’t be me, And be her in between, Without you, Without you

Jumping someone else´s train
It won’t take long to learn / The new smile / You have to adapt
Or you’ll be out of style / It’s always the same / Your jumping someone else’s train

Throw your foot
Jumping around — click click click / When you’re so slow / It’s like the world is stopping
