1.What I Wouldn't Do
If we were children
I would bake you a mud pie
Warm and brown beneath the sun
Never learned to climb a tree
but I would try
Just to show you what I'd done
Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe, I had you
Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe
If I were old, my dearest,
you would be older
But I would crawl upon your lap
Wrap a blanket round our frail little shoulders
And I'd die happily like that
Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe, I had you
Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe, if I had you
So lace your hands round the small of my back
and I will kiss you like a king
I will be your bride,
I'll keep you warm at night
I will sing, I will sing
It was now and we were both in the same place
Didn't know how to say the words
With my heart ticking like
a bomb in a birdcage
I left before someone got hurt
Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe, I had you
Oh what I wouldn't do
If I had you, babe, if I had you
2.New Heights
You are a thunderous thing, wondrous king
The face of rival-less gods,
deep in your thoughts
Come here, oh, closer to touch, never enough
Let me climb under your skin, oh let me in
From your lips a precipice
I hang from every word
Height and seeking
Oh we are reaching
New heights and seeking
How to keep them high
Keep them high
The calm of turbulent seas, fallen to sleep
And when the troubles arise, we hold on tight
How can a body contain something so great
My shell may suddenly burst out will come birds
From your, lips a precipice
I hang on every word
Height and seeking
Oh we are reaching
New heights and seeking
How to keep them high
Height and seeking
Oh we are reaching
New heights and seeking
How to keep them high
Keep them high
We will find a way
We will find a way
We will find a way
We will find a way
And we are high and seeking,
Oh we are reaching
New heights and seeking
How to keep them high
And we are high and seeking,
Oh we are reaching
New heights and seeking
How to keep them high
And we are high and seeking,
Oh we are reaching
New heights and seeking
How to keep them high
And we are high and seeking,
Oh we are reaching
New heights and seeking
How to keep them high
Keep them high
3.Electric Twist
You should be wilder,
you're no fun at all
Yeah, thanks for the input
Thanks for the call
With dull knives and white hands
The blood of a stone
Cold to the touch, right
Right down the bone
But you give me the electric twist
and it kicks like kicks like a pony
And true, you might get away with it
It's a risk, it's a risk yeah
Picked from a hot grove, packaged for sale
It drips down the sleeve
Gets under your nails
A loss of the senses
A chip off a tooth
The smells of the city
They ride in your suit
He says don't think don't talk
Don't think
Don't think don't talk
Don't think
Don't think don't talk
But I don't think I want to
cause you give me the electric twist
and it kicks and it kicks like a pony
and true, you might run away with it,
it's a risk it's a risk yeah
because it kicks yeah
it really kicks yeah
and the touch of your lips
it's a shock not a kiss
it's electric twist, it's electric twist
and the touch of your lips
it's a shock not a kiss
it's electric twist, it's electric twist
and the touch of your lips
it's a shock not a kiss
it's electric twist, it's electric twist
and the touch of your lips
it's a shock not a kiss
it's electric twist, it's electric twist
He says don't think don't talk
Don't think
Don't think don't talk
Don't think
Don't think don't talk
But I don't think I want to
cause you give me the electric twist
and it kicks and it kicks yeah
and true, letcha get away with it,
it's a risk it's a risk yeah
you might get away with it
it's a risk yeah
but it kicks yeah
it really kicks yeah
4.Blow Away
One of us is gonna be here and
One of us is gonna be running
Off alone into the great unknown
You're not me, you're a model of freedom
All you need are your kicks when you need 'em
Come and go, caught that slow alright
With one hand off the side
We get farther away in the blink of an eye
And it's the time we waste
Swallowed into space
It's the time it takes to blow~ away
To blow~ away
Hey, hey you, yeah you gotta be leaving,
Say what you want, what you say, say anything
No one knows just how deep it goes
We are old in your teenaged tyranny
And all you need is a hunger to feed
I've got my own secrets though, say what？
With a heart full of mess and lore
We are doomed but we wanted more
It's the ride we take
The many winged escape
It's the bough we break to blow~ away
And we blow~ away
One of us is now retreating
You knocked me down so hard
I'm seeing a thousand stars
Come out where you are
'Cause I won't ever be caught crying
And I will not be taken lying down
It blows into smoke
The time we waste
Swallowed into space
It's the time it takes to blow~
It's the ride we take
The many winged escape
It's the bough we break to blow~ away
It's the times we say that
no one's gonna take your place
It's a mistake to blow~ away
We blow~ away
5.Happier
Quick kid quick, so harsh and cynical
Touches stricken, cold and clinical
What a transformation to behold
But I don't like this new, I want the old
It's not the words that make it final
You've said such things
before to rival them
But it's how you say 'em now that's changed
Cold but sympathetic all the same
Lie to convince me that I'll be better off
Oh, you go on and I'll be happier,
I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier
Shoot me with your rubber bullets
Your finger's on the trigger, pull it
I know you want this suffering to end
So it is forgivable my friend
It's all to convince me
that I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier,
You go on and I'll be happier
You go on, yeah, you go on
You'll be gone and I'll be happier
Bo-bo-ba-do-bo
Bo-bo-ba-do-bo-da-da-da
Say what you mean, what you mean
Cause you'll be happier without me,
without me, without me, oh
You won't convince me,
that I'll be better off
So you go on and I'll be happier,
I'll be happier
You go on, you go
You'll be gone, and I'll be gone
You go on and I'll be happier,
you go on and I'll be happier
You go on, you go on,
you go on and I'll go on
and I'll be happier
You on and I'll be happier,
you go on and I'll be happier
You go on, and I'll be happier
6.Swan Song
Wretched, look at me, I've lost it,
melting on the table
In parking lots and markets
I cant help it, I love you like
a starfish loves the salty water
Like a selfish daughter
yet I wrote the words to the swan song
The author of the wrong
And I said what I said and I meant it
But now I regret it
Foolish, how was I so careless
Pawning off my treasure,
the envy of an heiress
Now my dollars are crumbled in my pocket
How can I reclaim it？
What if someone's got it？
When I wrote the words to the swan song
The author of the wrong
And I said what I said and I meant it
But now I regret it
How could the world have turned so ugly
I am dying
Could you touch me again？
Touch me again~
When I wrote the words to the swan song
The author of the wrong
And I said what I said and I meant it
But now I regret it
7.Elements
you show up like a hurricane,
all hungry-eyed and weather-stained
the clock forgets to tick and i the same
I died the day you disappeared,
so why would you be welcome here？
Ride the wind that brought you back away
no you can't come in
no you can't come in
i cannot stop my rebel hands
from pulling out the pots and pans
i left you in the cold until you shook
you're gentle now, but i recall
both tender fire and bitter squall
a history so deep it hurts to look
no you can't come in
no you can't come in
no you can't
you can't come in
if the sea should swallow up my house
I will turn my rooftop inside out
and the wind will be wailing
But I will be sailing faster
Oh the elements I do not fear
but I fall apart when you appear
Cos you are the greatest
The greatest disaster
if the sea should swallow up my house
I will turn my rooftop inside out
and the wind will be wailing
But I will be sailing faster
8.World Without
It must be written that
the moon elbowed the stars and said,
let's do our best to make it hard for them
Your house turned into paper cranes,
we watched the wind blow them away
Some sorry comfort I was then
The weight of a mountain
The skin off your knees
From climbing back to me
We can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible
They turned our skeletons to wood,
And scattered matches underfoot
We must walk carefully in place
The circles darken round our eyes
And yet our bodies, when combined
They gleam like diamonds in cave
The weight of a mountain
The skin off your knees
From climbing back to me
We can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible now
Keep the world without
Only the two of us count
Two voices loud
It is possible now
Though they wore us down
We'll find our way again
Heloise gave her whole heart to Pete
now eternally sleeps by his side
Oh, go ahead, fate, oh, give us your best
What is worth living for is worth a fight
Into the night
We can work this out
I believe, although it seems impossible now
Oh without a doubt
We'll work this out
Yeah, they'll hurt us now
On my knees, it makes me
want to scream and shout
Yeah, we'll work this out
Just the two of us now
Keep the world without
9.Bird Of The Summer
You came with the season,
as the first swallow sang
A brown headed stranger,
with a five-letter name dooodoodoo
we planted our kisses
where the wild berries grow
my feet sprouted wings
and i flew all the way home dooodoodoo
my cheeks red like fire engines
racing straight to the heat of your skin
and i know our days are numbered,
early bird of the summer
you'll fly south just as the fall begins
the leaves changed their colors
and the schoolyards were filled
my coat with the patches barely
keeps out the chill dooo
you sent me a postcard
from a town out of state,
i wish it were warmer
and i hope you're the same dooodoodoo
the fields where we wandered were golden
now only muddy my boots
and i know i should recover,
you're a bird of the summer,
i was wrong to try and capture you
Flight...
Flight...
......
......
gone is the pale hand of winter
here is the first flush of may
and soon I will discover
whether birds of the summer fly in circles
or just fly away
10.Stood Up
We are not frightened anymore
we stood up, we stood up
and there are two of us there will be more,
they'll show up, yeah they'll show up
they'll show up
blame a change of mind
a seismic shift in times
they told us not to fight
but we'll fight it till we die
cos' we are not frightened anymore,
we stood up, we stood up
and there are two of us there will be many more,
they'll show up, yeah they'll show up
and so they sunk every ship we sailed
but we stood up, we stood up
and they fought hard,
but somewhere fighting failed
they're all shook up, they're all shook up
all shook up
steel and concrete break
beneath the steady waves
of fearless hope and grace
in kindness there is strength.
cos' we are not frightened anymore,
we stood up, we stood up
and there are two of us there will be many more,
they'll show up, they'll show up
yeah they'll show up
We are not frightened anymore
We are not frightened anymore
11.Beacon
You say your time has come
You're tired of waking up
Don't be obscene, I can't conceive of
Living without you
You say you drag me down
No one should want you now
When I start to cry,
you kiss my eyes and say
I'm not allowed to
burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide,
it must get lonely there sometimes
You were a child forgot
Lessons of love untaught
Now no embrace can quite replace
the one that never found you
I was raised tenderly
All that was taught to me
I will apply, your parents tried
but they didn't know how to
burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide,
it must get lonely there sometimes
Let me stand by you
The honor is mine
Let me stand by you
Loneliest light, loneliest light,
loneliest light
burning beacon in the night
Can't feel its heat, or see its light
That single solitary guide,
it must get lonely there sometimes
