The Other Side Of The Moon

The Cardigans The Other Side Of The Moon Lyrics
1.War

Oh, come crush me now
Don't leave
no one has won this war
this time

No, don't sleep tonight
I'm hurt and ready for fire
Don't leave me up
alarmed and ready to die

Come on, it's war, come on
come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
come on, come on, come on
this is war

Stay, I'm almost done
don't retreat
I've loaded my gun
with love, with love
Hear the dust roll over the floor
why must you sleep?
Come crush me now
I'm armed
and ready to die

Come on, it's war, come on
come on, come on, come on
Come on, it's war, come on
come on, come on, come on
this is war
Come crush me now
Come crush me now


2.I Figured Out

He showed me around
to be found all alone
He cleaned his room
on his own to be known

So, I figured out
with no doubt
What he was about
in his room
on his own

You say 'don't worry'
but did you ever see us
What he does, bothers
You say 'don't worry'
but did you ever see us
What he does, bothers


3.Plain Parade

Plain Parade
Well, where is all the profit laid?
Plain Parade
well, maybe we have lost our way

Chorus:
Some are lone
sickly running from
something so wrong
and nowhere to belong

Plain Parade
Well, when will I be repaid
Plain Parade
I might join you on another day

Chorus

All you've given me is sadness
proof enough to feel I'm loveless
I wish that I could manage
better now and find a place

5.Pooh Song

When the cats & dogs are falling
I'm recalling you
You said I'd be bored today
and I don't know
what I want to do

Wise eyes telling twice
dance like penguins on my table
ain't my kind of joy
on every Friday night

I'm just whisting on a song...
Songs we wrote together

When my world is far too evil
I'm recalling you
Things are hard to understand
there's a little that I really know


6.Mr. Crowley

Mr. Crowley
What went on in your head
Mr. Crowley
did you talk with the dead
Your lifestyle to me seems so tragic
with the thrill of it all
You fooled all the people with magic
you waited on Satan's call

Mr. Charming
did you think you were pure
Mr. Alarming
in nocturnal report
Uncovering things that were scared
manifest on this earth
Concealed in the eye of a secret
and they scattered the afterbirth

Mr. Crowley
won't you ride my white horse
Mr. Crowley
It's symbolic, of course
Approaching a time that is classic
I hear maiden's call
approaching a time that is drastic
standing with their backs to the wall
I wanna know what you meant

8.The Boys Are Back In Town

Guess who just got back today
them wild-eyed boys that had been away
hadn't changed, hadn't much to say
but man, I still think them cats are crazy
They were asking if you were around
how you was and where you could be found
I told them you living downtown
driving all the old men crazy

The boys are back in town

You know, that chick that used to dance a lot
every night she'd be on the floor shaking what she'd got
Man, when I tell you she was cool and she was red hot
I mean she was steaming
And that time over at Johnny's place
well, she got up and she slapped Johnny's face
Man, we just fell about the place
If that chick don't wanna know, forget her

The boys are back in town

Friday night they'll be dressed to kill
down at Dino's bar & grill
The drink will flow and blood will spill
and if the boys wanna fight, you'd better let them
That jukebox in the corner blastin' out my favourite song
The nights are getting warmer and it won't be long
It won't be long 'til summer comes
Now that the boys are here again

The boys are back in town


9.Carnival

Carnival came by my town today
Bright lights from giant wheels
fall on the alley ways
and I'm here by my door
waiting for you

I will never know
'cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
come on and love me now
I will never know
'cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
come on and love me now
come on and love me now

I here sounds of lovers
barrel organs, mothers
I would like to take you
down there just to make you mine
in a merry-go-round

I will never know
'cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
come on and love me now
I will never know
'cause you will never show
Come on and love me now
come on and love me now
come on and love me now


10.Nasty Sunny Beam

I can't get out of bed
can't get my dreams out
of my sleepy head

I open up my eyes
and wonder where you are
but soon I realize
that you're not real
and I am

Chorus:
In between of day and dream
Life and death a lazy stream
in between of day and dream
Hello, goodbye
you nasty sunny beam

I try to seal my mind
and get back to where you were
you were that perfect kind
you drove me crazy
somewhere in between

Chorus

(I'm floating down again
and my world is a syrup waterfall
I can't remember when
or where
or why)

Chorus


11.Iron Man

Has he lost his mind
can he see or is he blind
can he walk at all
or if he moves, will he fall

Is he alive or dead
has he thoughts within his head
we'll just pass him there
why should we even care

He was turned to steel
in that great magnetic fields
when he travelled time
for the future of mankind
Now the time is here
for Iron man to spread fear
vengeance from the grave
kills the people he once saved

Nobody wants him
He just stares at the world
Planning his vengeance
that he will soon unfold
No, nobody wants him
They just turn their heads
And nobody helps him
Now he has his revenge

Heavy boots of lead
fills his victims full of dread
running as fast as they can
Iron man lives again


12.Blah Blah Blah

Hi, how are you I'm pretty fine
Your eyes are red, well I am tired
Please stay away from what is mine
Blah blah blah blah blah blah

My, I never thought of seeing you here
I'm really glad to meet you darling
Where did we lose it, will you call

All we ever say
is blah blah blah blah blah
We feel safe
with blah blah blah blah blah

No one's hurt
No one's weird
So all we ever say
is blah blah blah blah blah

Don't try to reach me, I am numb
And I don't want to look inside you
So let's just talk about the times
(like normal people do!)


13.Losers

All these losers
Everywhere
They annoy me
Still I care

You wish that you were special
I'm just like you

Close your eyes
that'll be the day you'll find those lies
Fold your ears
that'll be the day that you will hear
that'll be the day you
get back home

Moved by weirdoes
My weak, weak heart
I will always
be a part

You wish that you were special
I'm just like you

Close your eyes
that'll be the day you'll find those lies
Fold your ears
that'll be the day that you will hear
that'll be the day you
get back home


14.Country Hell

Such a foolish thing
What a way to be
I couldn't stay here
And it's not right to leave
I couldn't tell you how
But all the things I feel
have their qualities

If you fall apart
Fall into my arms
One uneasy morning
Doesn't make me leave

Such a simple thing
What a way to say
I couldn't help myself
For my foolish ways
You couldn't tell me how
But all the things you feel
have their qualities


15.After All

After all you were perfectly right
But I'm scaring close to insanity
And on a night like this
Nothing stays the same
Nothing looks the same

After all you were perfectly right
Though our relation just split me in two
And on a night like this
Pieces fall apart
Visions fall apart

After all you were perfectly right
I have never been happy before
And on a night like this
You can hear the words
See behind the words

After all you were perfectly wrong
Though I thought I'd found love
And on a night like this
Nothing could be worse
Nothing could be worse
