A World Next To Yours

The Parlotones A World Next To Yours Lyrics
1.Giant Mistake

Devilishly gorgeous temptress
She, she knew that I would
And elegantly wasted tasted more
More than I should

Was a giant mistake, gigantic
Was a giant mistake, gigantic

What the hell were we thinking
Were we thinking at all
What the hell did we believe we'd achieve
We stood there with our hearts exposed
As the others said I told you so
What the hell
What the hell

And eloquently said the phrase that pays
But somehow, I'm still flat broke
And succulently licked four, five, six, seven
Don't leave me alone

Was a giant mistake, gigantic
Was a giant mistake, gigantic

What the hell were we thinking
Were we thinking at all
What the hell did we believe we'd achieve
We stood there with our hearts exposed
As the others said I told you so
What the hell
What the hell

What the hell were we thinking
Were we thinking at all
What the hell did we believe we'd achieve
We stood there with our hearts exposed
As the others said I told you so
What the hell
What the hell

What the hell were we thinking
Were we thinking at all
What the hell did we believe we'd achieve
We stood there with our hearts exposed
As the others said I told you so
What the hell
What the hell


2.I'll Be There

I'll, I'll, Still beauty, colourful,
These blossoms are up for bloom.
One promise is just like a heart,
They get broken. But I'll try my hardest.

Even if you're rich,
Even if you're poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I'll be there for you.

Even if you're strong
Even if you're not
Every breath you breathe,
I'll be there for you.

Angelic, little princess,
I wanna wake up
To your face every morning

Another love song
A silly love song
But it's our song
And it's forever

Even if you're rich,
Even if you're poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I'll be there for you.

Even if you're strong
Even if you're not
Every breath you breathe,
I'll be there for you.

This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever
I'll, I'll, I'll be there for you.

Even if you're rich,
Even if you're poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I'll be there for you.

Even if you're strong
Even if you're not
Every breath you breathe,
I'll be there for you.

Even if you're rich,
Even if you're poor,
Every breath you breathe,
I'll be there for you.

Even if you're strong
Even if you're not
Every breath you breathe,
I'll be there for you.

This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever
This song is forever ...


3.I'm Only Human

And if the karma patrol
Take control
I'm gonna be in trouble
And if the mole police
Asks for receipts
I am gonna burst their bubble

Richen, smidgen
Muddy, smutty
Who is your god?

I'm not the type to pray, except when I fall
I'm only human after all

I played the devil's advocate
I played into his hands
I played the fool, I played the fire
I played the victim's hand

And if you bump into the devil
Tell him I understand
Rather the devil you know
Than the devil you don't
I hope you can understand
I'm only human after all...

I fell into the trap
I fell into her lap
I ate the apple of lust, lust, lust
(..) the apple tree of lust

Richen, smidgen
Muddy, smutty
Who is your god?

I'm not the type to pray, except when I fall
I'm only human after all

I played the devil's advocate
I played into his hands
I played the fool, I played the fire
I played the victim's hand

And if you bump into the devil
Tell him I understand
Rather the devil you know
Than the devil you don't
I hope you can understand
I'm only human after all...

I played the devil's advocate
I played into his hands
I played the fool, I played the fire
I played the victim's hand

And if you bump into the devil
Tell him I understand
Rather the devil you know
Than the devil you don't
I hope you can understand
I'm only human after all...


4.Bird In Flight

Desire imitations
Fading passions
You say I don't hold you
The way I used to

Fantastic illusions
Harsh assumptions
You say I don't kiss you
The way I used to

And there's a hole where your heart used to be
Heaven help you
Hate where love used to be
(...) but I'll help you

Stop holding on so damn tight
Yeah, love is like, it's like a bird in flight
The tighter you grip
The looser it slips
Love is like, it's like a bird in flight

Life of millionaires
Such extraordinaire
Bet they don't kiss any differently
Life of movie stars
Perfect stripped to parts
I bet they don't taste any differently

And our (...) lives where light used to stay
Heaven help you
There's lines on your face where a smile used to play
(...) but I'll help you

Stop holding on so damn tight
Yeah, love is like, it's like a bird in flight
The tighter you grip
The looser it slips
Love is like, it's like a bird in flight

Life of millionaires

Stop holding on so damn tight
Yeah, love is like, it's like a bird in flight
The tighter you grip
The looser it slips
Love is like, it's like a bird in flight


5.Sun Comes Out

This is more than I can take
I won't tolerate this anymore
It's more than I can take
Wake me before the sun comes out
And everything's alright

The sun comes out and everything's alright

And I take what I can get
Just don't leave me the scraps
I'm worth more
I'm worth more than that
Wake me before the sun comes out
And everything's alright

The sun comes out and everything's alright

Hold on for one more day
I don't believe in much
But for this I'll pray

Hold on for one more day
I don't believe in much
But for this I'll pray


6.Dance

I hear the drama
I hear the drama
Break break break in the silence

I feel the world
I feel the world
Is addicted to violence

You better dance
You better dance
Like nobody's watching you

You better sing
You better sing
Like no one is listening

Dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching you

Dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching you

I feel the world
I feel the world
Is addicted to hate and war

You better love
You better love
Like you've never been hurt before

Dance like Fred Astaire
Dance like you don't care

Dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching you

Dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching you

Dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching you

Dance, dance, dance
Like nobody's watching you

And I don't know
Exactly where we go
But what I do know
Is that I've only got one chance

And I don't believe
In what I cannot see
But what I do know
Is that I've only got this dance

I hear the silence...


7.Side Of The Moon

Here I stand
Here I stand
An explosion of fire

Here I am
Here I am
An ocean's desire

Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge

I'm on the side of the moon that always shines on you
I can see the whole world from here
But all I ever do is stare at you
I'm on the side, I'm on the side
I'm on the side of the moon
I'm on the side of the moon that always shines on
Shines on you

I am lost
I am lost
I don't wanna be found

There I stand
I can see that you're
Safe and sound

Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge
Standing on the edge

I'm on the side of the moon that always shines on you
I can see the whole world from here
But all I ever do is stare at you
I'm on the side, I'm on the side
I'm on the side of the moon
I'm on the side of the moon that always shines on
Shines on you


8.Play On

Goodbye sadness
Leave me alone
There's a happy face waiting at home

Even in absence the music plays on
Let the music play on
Let the music play on

Play on, play on
The magic music must never ever disappear
Play on, play on
We may be building castles in the sky
We'll learn to fly
Play on, play on

Hello Muffy, have you come to pass your law?
Whenever things get better
You come knocking at my door

Do as you want, just let the music play on
Let the music play on
Let the music play on

Play on, play on
The magic music must never ever disappear
Play on, play on
We may be building castles in the sky
We'll learn to fly
Play on, play on

Tick-tock, clock clock
Running away from me
I don't understand
Cus' it's only got hands

Tick-tock, clock clock
Running away from me
I don't understand
Cus' it's only got hands

Play on, play on
The magic music must never ever disappear
Play on, play on
We may be building castles in the sky
We'll learn to fly
Play on to the soundtrack of our lives...


9.Solar System

Take a ride through the solar system
Pick a star
Hope it fits in your pocket

You know they love you
but you just don't fit in
You're swinging punches
Boxing shadows (are?) sockets

You dance like Marilyn Monroe
Juliet where's your Romeo?

And they're pushing you
Pulling you, stretching you
They're somehow sucking the life out of you
You're begging them please to stop

If I could I would buy you one hundred thousand stars
Put them all in your pocket
For all those rainy days

You need the bitter soul
The sweet tastes sweeter
Sweeter still, sweetness all else follows
Those rainy days

He dances like Elvis Presley
Juliet, he's no Romeo
No

And they're pushing you
Pulling you, stretching you
They're somehow sucking the life out of you
You're begging them please to stop

They're mocking and poking fun at you
They're laughing but at you, not with you
You're begging them please to stop

He sings like Frank Sinatra
Juliet, I'm your Romeo

And they're pushing you
Pulling you, stretching you
They're somehow sucking the life out of you
You're begging them please to stop

They're mocking and poking fun at you
They're laughing but at you, not with you
You're begging them please to stop

And you're dancing with him
And it should be me
I hide it well but it's killing me
I'm begging you please to stop


10.Perfect Place

Tiny buttercup, won't you take my hand?
Tiny buttercup, when you're feeling sad
Life doesn't go according to plan
Close our eyes, take each other's hands
In a world filled of shades of grey
We'll color it up and escape
To our perfect place

Tiny buttercup, don't you dare look sad
Tiny buttercup, a smile's all I have
You say life's like a roller-coaster
It's up and down and you wish it were over
Just take me by the hand, close your eyes
We'll escape to our perfect place

Come on girl, take my hand
Come on girl, take my hand
And close your eyes
We'll escape to our perfect place

Tiny buttercup, when you're insecure
Together we're the giants and our own cure
There's monsters, monsters everywhere
Just close your eyes, girl, they're not there
Just take me by the hand
We're in a better place
And we'll 've escaped to our perfect place


11.Pointing Fingers

Hey boy, what you doing?
It isn't right
Hey boy, is there any reason to pick a fight?

Your street's filled with glass houses
You're throwing stones
Hey boy, are you throwing stones at the other side?

Pointing fingers
Trying to shift the blame
Sympathy for the other side
We're all to blame
Our splinters are all the same
Sympathy for the other side

Hey girl, can't you see what you're doing is wrong?
Hey girl, don't you think it's time we got along?

You say their eyes are filled with splinters, but so are yours
Hey girl, are you pointing fingers at the other side?

Pointing fingers
Trying to shift the blame
Sympathy for the other side
We're all to blame
Our splinters are all the same
Sympathy for the other side


Pointing fingers
Trying to shift the blame
Sympathy for the other side
We're all to blame
Our splinters are all the same
Sympathy for the other side


12.Window Shopper

You bury your dreams deep inside
It's up to you to breathe in life
The chemicals of goosebumps
The chemicals of butterflies in stomachs
It's up to you to realise

If you never try, then you'll never fail
If you never fail, then you'll never gain
And you'll be a window shopper
Don't just stand there window shopping

You're a secret master of disguises
Pretend to be happy, you big fat liars
The formula of 'could've been's'
Swallowed up by cautious routines
Changing Mr. Compromise

If you never try, then you'll never fail
If you never fail, then you'll never gain
And you'll be a window shopper
Don't just stand there window shopping

Are you marching, are you marching
Are you marching to someone else's drum?
Are you marching to someone else's drum?
You bore me with sorrow
You bore me to death
If you're still window shopping

If you never try, then you'll never fail
If you never fail, then you'll never gain
And you'll be a window shopper
Don't just stand there window shopping

And we're born as dreamers
Amongst the non-believers
Who are called a genius
And it's easier said than done
The man in the mirror says
I am a window shopper


13.Disappear Without A Trace

Yes, I like the simple things in life
A little house and someone to call my wife
I see such beauty
As ice-cream melts on your hot, hot lips

Hold on, honey, we got forever to taste
Speed up, sugar, don't forget our friend 'Fate'
It could disappear without a trace

Hold on, honey, we got forever to taste
Speed up, sugar, don't forget our friend 'Fate'
It could disappear without a trace

(...) act like children tonight
But truth be told I've been a child all my life
And I see such lovely
As chocolate melts on your hot, hot skin

Hold on, honey, we got forever to taste
Speed up, sugar, don't forget our friend 'Fate'
It could disappear without a trace

Hold on, honey, we got forever to taste
Speed up, sugar, don't forget our friend 'Fate'
It could disappear without a trace

(...) and trampolines
There's a hole in your heart
(...) stop trying to heal the world

(...) and gasoline
There's a hole in your sky
(...) and let's just live our own life

The simple one I desire


14.Baby Be Mine
