1.Little Favours
I slip softly through
Your slim fingers
Leaving traces
I embrace this
Feeling that lingers
Oh that lingers, that lingers
So take me far away
And hold me close to your heart
And do me just this little favour
For I do, yes I do love you
This silence sits easy
So peacefully
Like the skin
Oh like the skin
Upon your body
Oh on your body, your body
So take me far away now
And hold me close to your heart
And do me just this little favour
For I do, yes I do love you
Yes I do love you
This little universe between our backs
So beautiful and colourful I lean on that
2.If Only
Walking around in a daze
after days now its been
Talking it up is amazing
and amazed that I'm in
Looking at the stars
for the answers
but all that you found
Was silence and dirty ground
If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
Listen just a little bit harder
for I always tell the truth
it isn't just a piston
in an engine
that keeps you moving
Looking like you're looking for
something and now
You're surrounded by silence
If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
You're surrounded by silence
silence silence
you're surrounded by silence
silence silence
You're surrounded by silence
silence silence
oh You're surrounded by silence
silence silence
If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
yeah If only you could see me now
If only you could hear me out
If only it was only me now
If only it was only me now
3.White Bird
White bird with a black tail,
Eyes Dark and face so pale,
You know what your future holds
over your side of the road
White bird with a black tail,
You look like an open sail,
Made me look up from my shoes.
To show me what you stand to lose
White Bird, White Bird,
With your face so pale
White Bird White bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird White bird
With a black tail
White feathers dipped in tar,
It's hard to tell how old you are,
Wonderin' how much you know,
About all of us below
Half of you is heavenly,
Showin off your purity
The rest of you is from the stream,
Like a land where they both meet
White Bird, White Bird,
With your face so pale
White Bird White bird
Where'd you get that tail
White Bird White bird
With your face so pale,
White Bird White Bird
With a black tail...
4.Funnyman
Locked inside your head
Do you realize the things
you said never made sense?
We can sit here and laugh
But we don't know the half of it,
in your defense
We've been talking a while
And it seems to me each time you smile,
Lights are coming on
But they don't burn too strong
And they won't stay for long
And then they're gone again
Chorus:
Funnyman, gotta plan
for the something wonderful
Funnyman, listening to
the world turning on itself
Tuning into a brand new universe
Funnyman,
you'll never be anything else
Do you remember the night
When I had to play your angel,
saving your soul?
Even though you were holding on tight
Part of you was taken
by your demons below
And with no more to lose
You said you feel like a bruise
on a beautiful body
And all the damage you do
It is so honest and true...
I don't want to feel sorry for you
Funnyman, gotta plan
for the something wonderful
Funnyman, listening to
the world turning on itself
Tuning into a brand new universe
Funnyman,
you'll never be anything else
5.Hold On
Say you to me
You're a bird with an eye
for the enemy shining
Searching the land
for a hero of a man
You say I need
More than my fair share of attention
But I think you know
That just isn't so
Oh underneath
I felt the fire of a burning question
Tearing me apart,
Right from the very start.
And now I see,
That it dont take a trick
Of the light to excite me.
So Strong
So Long
You'll see
Hold on to what
you've been given lately.
Hold on to what
you know you've got.
Hold on to what you've
been given lately.
Hold on 'cause the world will
turn if you're ready or not.
Simplicity,
A heart of gold,
an old head and young shoulders
Quiet and lovely,
Becoming part of me.
And now I see
from a handful of names
and a thousand faces.
One light burning
Fiercely
I was tired of January
Tired of June
I felt a change coming
oh oh
I was tired of January
I was tired of June
I felt a change coming
oh oh
I felt a change coming,
sooon
Hold on to what you've
been given lately.
Hold on to what you
know you've got.
Hold on to what you've
been given lately.
Hold on 'cause the world will
turn if you're ready or not.
Hold on to what you've
been given lately.
Hold on to what you
know you've got.
Hold on to what you've
been given lately.
Hold on 'cause the world will turn
if you're ready or not.
Well the world will turn
if you're ready or not
Whoa-oh, Yes the world will turn
if you're ready or not.
6.Hopeless
Hopeless
Everybody says it's just another decay
Of the soul But I know
I'm hopeless
Follower of anything to take me away,
From this hole in the ground
I'm hopeless
Clinging to this feeling
like a fish on a line
It's sublime to find it lately
Hopeless
No more saying that
there's no more time
I was trying far to hard
To be what I felt I should be
I was playing wild cards
Seeing things that weren't in front of me
Like a little tiger play fighting
I was hurting myself
Again, and again
Because I'm hopeless
Everybody says it's just another decay
Of the soul But I know
I'm hopeless
Follower of anything to take me away,
From this hole in the ground
I'm hopeless
Clinging to this feeling
like a fish on a line
It's sublime to find it lately
Hooopeless
No more saying that
there's no more time
That there's no more time
Well,
I'm just discovering
I'm living in a different body
Got a little insight into
Everything that's happening to me
Like a little spider,
I'm climbing the insurmountable
But I never hold myself accountable
No oooh
Because I'm hopeless
Everybody says I'm hopeless
But I got a bit of hopeless
In this
Oh and you could never bring me down
Even though I got solid ground
Oh because I love it so
And I think you should know
That I'm hopeless
Everybody says it's just another decay
Of the soul But I know
I'm hopeless
Follower of anything to take me away,
From this hole in the ground
I'm hopeless
Clinging to this feeling
like a fish on a line
It's sublime to find it lately
Hopeless , hopeless, hopeless
No more saying that
there's no more time
7.I Don't Want You Now
Show me what it is you've done,
Pull the covers off
in front of everyone
Sure you want to the saw seams
What you created for yourself
in spite of me,
You can try to tie me down,
You can try to string me up,
But you'd have no luck now,
Please don't ever let me down again,
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me frown again,
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be my friend again,
Cuz I don't want you
I don't want you now
I don't want you now
So now you've learned to make your bed,
Far be it for me
to be the one to pay your head,
The truth is that
i could've pulled you up,
But you'd already advertised
that i'd slashed the tires
of your one man show
You can try to tie me down,
You can try to stitch me up,
But you'd have no luck now
Please don't ever let me down again,
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me frown again,
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be my friend again,
Cuz I don't want you
I don't want you now
I don't want you now
I don't want you now
The truth is that
i could've pulled you up
You can try to tie me down,
You can try to stitch me up,
But you'd have no luck now,
Please don't ever let me down again,
It shouldn't be allowed
Please don't ever make me frown again,
You have shown me how
Please don't try to be my friend again,
Cuz I don't want you
I don't want you now
8.Saving My Face
See the look on my face,
From staying too long in one place
And everytime I try to leave
I find I keep on stalling
Feel like a big old stone
Standing by a strength of my own
But everytime the morning breaks
I know I'm closer to falling
I'm all out of luck
I'm all out of fatih
I would give everything
just for one taste
But everything's here
all out of place
Losing my memory
saving my face
I'm saving my face
I'm listening to what you say
Even though I look the other way
but you could never understand
the feeling of what I'm needing
I'm all out of luck
I'm all out of faith
I would give anything
just for a taste
but everythings's here
all out of place
Losing my memory and
saving my face
saving my face
ooh yeah yeah
Give it all to me
I will do the right thing
Baby I'll be everything I need
Leave it all to me
I will do the right thing
baby i'll be everything i need
give it all to me
i will do the right thing
I'm all out of luck
I'm all out of faith
I would give anything
just for a taste
but everythings's here
all out of place
losing my memory and
losing the best of me
I'm all out of luck
I'm all out of faith
I would give everything
just for a taste
but everything's here
all out of place
losing my memory
and saving my face
saving my face
9.Beauty Of Uncertainty
I need a mirror
In the eyes of a man
I need no protaction
From my bullet proof plan
And i've got a ticket
For all that I like
It may think that i'm gone good
But I know that i'm coming back
Sit it my table
Sip for my boat
Feel like unknown now
And I will do 'till I get old
You might not see me
Trust that I'll stay
But is no sense in traveling
If we've alredy benn that way
Night isn't matter
it didn't mean grasp
May I let the light hands on
Waste to see how long you left
But you know better
You stand your ground
And might just stand a little
She know you syicking around
The beauty of uncertainty
ooh..
10.Someday Soon
I think it's time to put myself away,
See I got a little silence,
Close the doors and sit a while
And walk a little
And as i put my words away
The flow slows
See this penny in the stream
Pickin it up is easy
Follow the shape of it
Jump in
Swallow it whole
Jump In
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something
that I've found,
Holdin on for fun on solid ground
Someday soon...
Gunna turn myself into the grass
And I'll grow
Gunna take this space above my head,
I'll never need a little,
Gunna wear my feather-head dress
Like an indian chief
Gunna stretch out both my arms,
I'm Gonna test the temperature
Follow the taste of it
Jump in
Swallow it whole
Jump In
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something
that I've found,
Holdin on for fun on solid ground
Oh oh oh
Even though I know my way around
Possibly there's something
that I've found,
Holdin on for fun on solid ground
Someday soon...
And I'll walk a little...
Someday soon..
11.Paper Aeroplane
This stone that I have swallowed
Isn't goin down so well
And this road that i have followed
Is leading me to hell
You said it didn't matter
That i think you're a liar
Is this one of your very talents
Stokes the very fire that burns you
Each time you try to live,
The world will turn below you
Pressure is building
and something has to give..
And when i build you a stable
You say it's incomplete
Cuz you need the whole cathedral,
To satisfy your needs,
You're like a paper aeroplane
That never seems to land,
Flying by through anything,
Straight into the hand
That chokes you
Each time you try to live,
The earth will turn below you
Pressure is building
and something has to give,
Something has to give...
12.Suddenly I See (Live)
Her face is a map of the world
Is a map of the world
You can see she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
And everything around her
is a silver pool of light
The people who surround her
feel the benefit of it
It makes you calm
She holds you captivated in her palm
Suddenly I see
This is what I wanna be
Suddenly I see
Why the hell it means so much to me
I feel like walking the world
Like walking the world
You can hear she's a beautiful girl
She's a beautiful girl
She fills up every corner like
she's born in black and white
Makes you feel warmer
when you're trying to remember
What you heard
She likes to leave you
hanging on a wire
And she's taller than most
And she's looking at me
I can see her eyes looking
from a page in a magazine
Oh she makes me feel like
I could be a tower
A big strong tower
She got the power to be
The power to give
The power to see
Suddenly I see
Suddenly I see
13.Bad Day
Tell me how I can find
Something to compare
To this kiss so fine
I've been looking everywhere
What used to be wrong is right
Honey can you see
How your lightening
Coming down striking me
How your lightening
Coming down striking me
You're a good moon
You're good food
When it's a bad day, anyway
You're a la-li-lighthouse
On a dark night
Too tired to fight it anyway
Familiar to your sound
Like honey when you breathe
In and out
Oh you know you pacify me
And if I go tomorrow
I wanna thank you for today
For being together
Even on a bad day
Cos you're a good moon
You're good food
When it's a bad day, anyway
And you're a la-la-la-lighthouse
On a dark night
I'm too tired to fight it anyway
You're a good moon
You're good food
When it's a bad day, anyway
You're a la-li-lighthouse
On a dark night
Too tired to fight it anyway
