All My Mistakes

Teitur All My Mistakes Lyrics
1.Louis Louis

Lyricist:Teitur Lassen

Louis, Louis, play us a song
Louis, Louis, the stage is aching for one
Please, come back to the quiet generation
We don't have any representation

Louis, Louis, our stars no longer dance
Louis, Louis, come down through the heavens
The sky is full of innuendos
We don't want any heroes

Louis, Louis, all we want is music
Louis, Louis, you play it without melancholy

Please, play a song for everyone
Play it like it was the only one
So it will travel through the valleys
Into the roses and the berries
Louis, Louis

Louis, Louis, they shot all the poets
Louis, Louis, the world is not like you know it
There's no one with the right agenda
That's why we stay down here and won't surrender

Louis, Louis, when only music is the answer
Louis, Louis, every living being is a dancer

Please, play a song for everyone
Play it like it was the only one
So it will travel through the valleys
Into the roses and the berries
Louis, Louis

Play us a song


2.Amanda's Dream

Lyricist:Jeff Cohen, Teitur Lassen

Can you say good-bye, without ever leavin'?
That's some sad soul to keep
Amanda awakes in a moment believin'
She's better off stayin' asleep
So she drives by the station
Imaginin' somewhere, sings a slow, slow, song

Now, she's waitin' at the stoplights
With no where to go
But in our town there's just one stoplight
Oh, I wish she would know

There's a world outside her window
Anywhere the wind blows
Anywhere's Amanda's dream

She sits late at night by the light of a candle
With wishes that never come true
And her hope gets so high they're too hard to handle
She stares as they fade out of view
And of these some words have led her to nowhere
Except a slow, slow, song

Now, she's waitin' at the stoplights
With no where to go
But in our town there's just one stoplight
Oh, I wish she would know

There's a world outside her window
Anywhere the wind blows
Anywhere's Amanda's dream

Well she sleeps like a girl
But she wakes like a woman
She sleeps like a girl
But she wakes like a woman, like a woman

Waitin' at the stoplights
With nowhere to go
But in our town there's just one stoplight
I wish she would know

There's a world outside her window
Anywhere the wind blows
Anywhere's Amanda's dream

Na na na
Na na na
Na na na


3.Josephine

Lyricist:Annette Bjergfeldt, Teitur Lassen

Dreamt I was back with pirates and cats
In my Somerville
A girl, in the alphabet shirt covered in dirt
Lives on the hill

Well, my sweet Josephine
Are you still racing stray dogs across the old stream?
My neighborhood queen
Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?

She stole my grandmother's watch, a treasure to touch
To keep time to herself
Her mind was a very big house
We got lost there for hours until August fell

Well, my sweet Josephine
Are you still racing stray dogs across the old stream?
My neighborhood queen
Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?

You say you're alright
'Josie it's time you gotta get your feet on the ground'
But she says, â½No, but you see we have wings
It's the funniest thing, it's just that no ones knows'
No one knows, sweet Josephine

Well, my sweet Josephine
Are you still racing stray dogs across the old stream?
My neighborhood queen
Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?

My neighborhood queen
Are you still kissing cowboys that cry, Josephine?


4.One and Only

Lyricist:Jeff Cohen, Teitur Lassen, Michael Ochs

I've been wishing on a star but I could never have imagined
I would land just where you are after all this lonesome
traveling
I took one look in your eye, reached out to hold your hand
This is when I realized but I could never understand

Do you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and only love?

So you wanna be my friend, so you wanna be my lover
Oh, with you I do confess I can't be one without the other
That was hard for me to say, I hope I said it right
Which ever, come what may, you see I need to know tonight

Do you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and only love?

Do you want to play these cards?
Do you want to lay 'em down?
Do you want to run away?
Or do you want to stick around?

Do you want to be my one and only love?
Do you want to be my one and only love?


5.I Was Just Thinking

Lyricist:Teitur Lassen

I was just thinking
That I have been missing you for way too long
There's something inside this weary head
That wants us to love just instead
But I was just thinking, merely thinking

I've got loads of pictures, yeah
I've got the one of you in that dancing dress
But man I feel silly in that dim light
Just after doing you by the sight of my Kodak delights
I am sinking, merely sinking

Yeah, I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you
babe
I'm a singer without a song
And if I wait for you longer my affection is stronger
But I, I was just thinking, merely thinking
But this boat is sinking

Yeah, I'm tired of postcards, especially the ones with cute dogs
and cupids
I'm tired of calling you and missing you and dreaming that I've
slept with you
Don't get me wrong I still desperately love you
Inside this weary head I just want us to love just instead
But I was just thinking and thinking, merely thinking

Yeah, I think about long distance rates instead of kissing you
babe
And time is running me still
And if I wait for you longer my affection is stronger
But I, I was just thinking
I said that I, I was just thinking

That I'm tired of calling you once a week
And thinking of long distance rates instead of kissing you
So baby I'm sinking, merely sinking


6.Sleeping with the Lights On

Lyricist:Matt Bronleewe, Teitur Lassen

Oh I've been haunted by this old ghost before
I want to hear your voice you know it's been so long
Like a dancing wave you balance on the shore
It would feel so good to see your face again

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

Oh we both understand we got no way back
Oh our love was strange in a strange land
And we got broken wings we were bound to fall
Until the sun comes up you can hold my hand

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

Take it easy and take it slow
Let's just watch the tides they grow
The wind is coming from the side
And we are sleeping in the light
In the light

I feel like waking up in your house some day
Or eating off your hand like a bird astray
But nothing's gonna change, we'll still be the same
We've said what to say, nothing's buried nowhere

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on

I still sleep with the lights on
I still stay up late alone
I still love another one
I still sleep with the lights on


7.All My Mistakes

Lyricist:Jeff Cohen, Alex Ejsmont, Teitur Lassen

Who is to say who wins or who loses?
I sing to myself at the end of the day
When I know what the blues is
All my mistakes have become masterpieces

I was born in the goodness of grace
Because of faith, because of courage
Because of forgiveness
All my mistakes have become masterpieces

There comes a time
You must stay in the moment while your heart's still bleedin'
There comes a time
When you must walk away though your heart's still beatin'

There comes a time
You must stay in the moment while your heart's still bleedin'
There comes a time
When you must walk away though your heart's still beatin'

Who is to say who wins or who loses?
I sing to myself at the end of the day
When I know what the blues is
All my mistakes have become masterpieces
All my mistakes have become masterpieces


8.Don't Want You To Wake Up

Dont want you to wake up.
Stay under the stars,
Where noone can make us,
Change what we are.

Dreamers in the dark,
following our hearts.

Try to be silent.
My eyes are too loud.
I sit back in my hiding,
While you're in the clouds.
One kiss away from what I have to say.

Don't want you to wake up.
Stay under the stars,
Where no one can make us,
Change what we are.
Don't want you to wake up.

Its almost the morning,
one foot out the door.
As I let the light in,
To love you even more,
May our minds lose the battle.
And may our hearts win the war.

Don't want you to wake up.
Stay under the stars.
Where noone can make us,
Change what we are.(2x)

Dont want you to Wake up


9.Hitchhiker

She was just a hitchhiker
That I picked up by the side of the road
What you did to me, what you put me through
What you did to me, what you put me through

Got no money, but I?ll paint your picture
If I wake up to the morning sun

She was just a hitchhiker
I said my name was Christopher
She had mudstains on her shirt
I remember what I said to her

Called the police, put in a report
But no one has reported
Seeing my most wanted one

I was just a lonesome rider
Headed nowhere in particular
Have her picture awake in the night
Of promised landscapes in white on white

Called the police, put in a report
But no one has reported
Seeing my most wanted one


10.The Girl I Don't Know

I'm in love with a girl I don't know
I carry her with me wherever I go
I walk these streets with her name in my shadow
All for the girl I don't know

And flags are waving proudly in the air

And I'm selling flowers on the square

And the evening turns to watch tomorrow
All for the girl I don't know

Before we said hello
It was just another day
You must learn to love the rain
I said to the girl I don't know

And if she wonders tell her where I am

And then I am blindly finding my way through these lands

And tell her how I don't believe in sorrow
And fall for the girl I don't know

Before we said goodbye and the sky began to gray
You must learn to love the rain
So said the girl I don't know


11.I Run The Carousel

I run the carousel
With horses and tinkerbell
Late night by the canal

You wouldn?t notice me
I have a tendency
To blend with the music

I run the carousel

Children swirl around
Like drapes in a summertown
Husbands kindle their wives

Sometimes it tortures me
The envy and the jealousy
But I never panic

I run the carousel

Sometimes when the birds fly over
I look up, but I don?t want to go nowhere
Got lives to save under the open

Live as a mystery man
Sleep in a caravan
I love everybody

I run the carousel


12.You Get Me

Lyricist:Teitur Lassen, Pamela Eileen Sheyne

If I say no, if I resist
If I don't give in to this
Would it be a lesson or a loss?

Suddenly I know what it's about
Thoughts come in and words come out
Suddenly I'm not killing time, it's all over now

You get me, you get me

Like a beautiful song
You heard a million times
Like the rainbow's end
You can never find

You get me, you get me

If I say yes, if I let go
And face the consequence I'll know
Will it lead to living with regret?

Suddenly the walls are coming down
I won't be the same when I come around
Suddenly I am understood, it's all over now

You get me, you get me

Like a crimson sunset
Where the sky meets sea
Like no one alive
But lives in my dreams

You get me, you get me
You get me, you get me

Like a beautiful song
You heard a million times
Like the rainbow's end
You can never find

It's hard to ignore
And undeniable too
This feeling inside
When I look at you

You get me, you get me


13.Boy She Can Sing

My baby travels with a barstool
My baby travels with a barstool
Boy, she can sing, my baby!

My baby don't do the dishes
My baby won't do the dishes
Boy, she can sing, my baby!

Saw my baby's picture when she was a kid
Yeah, yeah, yeah she was always like this
She looks so sweet in the bar-room shadow
Blowin' off the roof, she's a flamin' arrow!

My baby doesn't have an address
My baby doesn't have an address
Boy, she can sing, my baby!

My baby writes a thousand letters
My baby writes a thousand letters
Boy, she can sing, my baby!

She's never in a hurry, but she moves so fast!
When she makes her promises, she makes them last!


14.Great Balls Of Fire

You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
I pull my fingers and twiddle my thumbs
I?m real nervous, but it sure is fun
C?mon, c?mon baby, you drive me crazy
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
Kiss me baby! Oh it feels good
Hold me baby! I wanna love you like a lover should
You shake my nerves and you rattle my brain
Too much love drives a man insane
You broke my will, oh what a thrill
Goodness, gracious, great balls of fire
