Electromagnetica

The Amsterdams Electromagnetica Lyrics
1.Kids In The Garden

This river is wild*
This house is a war
Follow our kids in the garden
Where they used to play

Put all the cattle to shelter
Hide all our love in the well
Let Jesus or money to guide us
To places where we belong

Home, home, home, home

No one left in the village
After the flood rushed in
Oh daughters, where did the horses take you
To heavens or to daughters' hell?

Home, home, home, home

Home, home, home, home


2.Apologies

Apologies for me now*
The radio was blasting
Apologies for me now
The radio was blasting, all day, all day

Apologies for me now
The radio was blasting
Apologies for me now
The radio was blasting

I can feel it's a crash and this car is out
Oh, yeah, oh yeah
Is there a fish in the lake I could call?
Oh yeah, oh yeah

All my friends they gathered 'round to see the accident
They lift my body from the water slowly
All my friends they gathered 'round to see the accident
They lift my body from the water slowly
All my friends they gathered 'round to see the accident
They lift my body from the water slowly
All my friends they gathered 'round to see the accident
They lift my body from the water slowly

Such a beautiful friend you are
Take my body from the car

I can feel it's a crash and this car is out
Oh yeah, oh yeah
Is there a fish in the lake I could call?
Oh yeah, oh yeah


3.Country Holiday

I could move to another town*
Make my way into your heart
Maybe you should spend some time
In somebody else's mind

Or maybe I'm just crazy and you're not

You and me were never friends
All that matters in the end
Noodle salads by the lake
Maybe as good as it gets

Or maybe I'm just crazy and you're not
Or maybe I'm just crazy and you're not

I could move to another world (take a holiday)
Dissapear into a crowd
Maybe you should spent some time, honey
In somebody else's mind

Or maybe you're just crazy and I'm not
Or maybe you're just crazy and I'm not
Or maybe you're just crazy and I'm not
Or maybe you're just crazy and I'm not


4.On The Run

I'll live, how long?*
My folks they couldn't tell me
My brother he was always there

I'll live, how long?
My folks they couldn't tell me
My brother he was always there

I'm not that strong
My thoughts I couldn't cope with
My body it was always left on the ground
Always left on the ground

I'm not that strong
My thoughts I couldn't cope with
My body it was always left on the ground
Always left on the ground

I'll live, how long?
My folks they couldn't tell me
My brother he was always there


5.Island Of Love

There's a shutter on the island of love*
If we close it all our feelings disappear
It is guarded by two ravens at night
And sometimes by a Russian satellite

We sailed towards the island of love
And realized someone was there before us
The world will slowly turn into a stone now
But there are questions, still, we need to ask

Do you want a sweeter life?
We'll give you cake, you'll be just fine
Do you need more present tense?
Screw the grammar, yes you can
Change the color of your hair
You're growing old but don't you care
Oh, say the words and I'll be there

We need to take shelter
Shelter from the stars
You never know when they are gonna' fall
The island is in danger
Butterflies have strange ways
Our stomachs will never be the same

Soft rockers, daft punkers, you minimal brothers, sisters and
other
Drop it and make this song go round
This island is now shaking your mind
A love like this you will never find
Stop fooling and answer me tonight

Do you want a sweeter life?
We'll give you cake, you'll be just fine
Do you need more present tense?
Screw the grammar, yes you can
Change the color of your hair
You're growing old but don't you care
Oh, say the words and I'll be there


6.Part Of It

I wanted to be a part of it*
To make my long run and my room so shine
One moment to all the people I
Used to care about, what do you care about?

I wanted to be a part of it
To make my long run and my room so shine
One moment to all the people I
Used to care about, what do you care about?

And I won't say a word
I won't give you love
Twisted as a knife
I will let it slide

My moaning is where the lions are
Within a giant leaf, sleeping on a sofa
My God is the sun and all the clouds
To where the pigs fly, do you thing that pigs fly?

And I won't say a word
I won't give you love
Blinking with both eyes
I will let it slide
Slide
Slide
Slide

Uh-uh-ah...

I'm locked up and compelling
Like a suitcase on a train
Let me go down, down
Uh-uh-ah

Floating out of season
There's no summer after spring
It feels like the fall, the fall
Uh-uh-ah

You wrote me like a blank page
Like an old colonial range
Waiting to strike, to strike
Uh-uh-ah

And I won't say a word
I won't give you love
Blinking with both eyes
I will let it slide
Slide
Slide
Slide


7.This Burial Ground's For Two

Going down, what a silly thing to do*
Growing up with all this dirt inside of me and you
This burial ground's for two

Fading out like a town without a name
Might as well make some money and then disappear
His kingdom is oh so real

Samuel will you take cover from our sins
And Samuel will you take cover from us all?

Pretty boy, what a twisted mind you have
You're such a noise from all the silence and the shouts we hear
Now how does it make you feel?

Look at us, they've tried to put us in a grave
Growing up, now the death is between me and you
This burial ground's for two

Samuel will you take cover from our sins
And Samuel will you take cover from us all?

Let your body walk out as the skies close in
Let your body walk out
Let your body walk out as the skies close in
Let your body walk out, walk out
Walk out, walk out


8.Telescope

I might be a fool but I know you're troubled*
I might be alone, alone you're gone
Away from us, you tell me that
Away from us, we both need it

A stair to the stars, hope we all can make it
Bring me the milk and I will show you
The way for us, you tell me that
You came from Mars, where love was never ever found

A hole in our heart, is it all we're left with
Our splendorous start, so poorly ended
A hole in our heart, with nothing to fill now
Returning to space, what a small step this was


9.Coalmine

Hey now, why are these people all gathered downtown?*
Hey dad, why are they holding those clubs in their hands?
Oh no, why are they beating up students and geeks?
Oh no, they look like monsters coming out of the dark

Leave my glasses on my face
To see you better
Try and find some other place
That you could scatter
Take the folks and beat it
Let us go back to my house
These streets are made for walking
Let us go back to my house

Holy cow, how can a poet lead an army of fools?
Oh my God, ten thousand people with a plastic cap head
Oh no, they fucked darkness with the light on their forehead
Only now they came out mining for the coal in our brains

Leave my glasses on my face
To see you better
Try and find some other place
That you could scatter
Take the folks and beat it
Let us go back to my house
These streets are made for walking
Let us go back to my house

All I wanna say is
I'm not a coalmine
All I wanna say is
Please don't hold me down


10.Three Is A Crowd

Used to stay in bed, day after day love*
Dive in and make out
She had to come, it all felt so surreal
I've never imagined three makes a couple
I'm in the middle
What do you expect? I'm human, she's so near
At night me and her out, keeping you, dear, in
Mistakes they avenge, you're so still
It makes me wanna shout
Shout

You said three is a crowd and she's much too loud
Baby I'm so scared, what could happen?
I've seen it all so clear
Piano down your stairs. furniture and pills
Said you will leave and meet me in Berlin
We'll get rid of her there (behind brick houses, red brick
houses)
I'll never forget love, all met in this park, ten after midnight
How was I to know
Your hands will end this war?
War

A ride or more, telling me things you like
Another heartache, this pretty high pretty low fall
The engine roar, louder with every smile
All the planets, hope they won't tell us wrong
A shot or more, her body then hit the ground
But your cold hands they only killed our love
We left her there, only kissed her once
In our cruel hearts her blood will always run

I'm sure one day we'll find the courage to tell our friends
We did it, we did it

I'm sure one day we'll find the courage to tell our friends
I'm sure one day we'll find the courage to tell our friends
