Theres a man alive inside this mind of mine
Better let him glide before someone thinks he’s died

Wouldn't it just be nice?
Wouldn’t life just be perfect?
If I could take my own advice
If I could just scratch the surface of what I’d like to say to you
Would you look at my face?
When you’re talking to me
I can feel it I can’t see it ‘cause the view is burning my eyes
(And its dawning on me)
In the morning you might see that the view is such a surprise
(And you're all that I see)
In the morning you might feel that the view has opened your eyes
(And its dawning on me)
In the morning you might realise
And you're all that I see
Would you look at my face?
When you’re talking to me
I can feel it I can’t see it ‘cause the view is burning my eyes
(And its dawning on me)
In the morning you might see that the view is such a surprise
(And you're all that I see)
In the morning you might feel that the view has opened your eyes
(And its dawning on me)
In the morning you might realise
And you're all that I see

Coat made of fur, mon petit chou-fleur
Everything's closed, still places to go
My head starts to whirl down vesterbrogade
Smiles all round, such a beautiful town
I sent my letter, no post from denmark
Got so stoned I couldn't walk straight
I couldn't remember your face or name
Of the club we just went to
Lied about my age so you would stay
Is that okay? I didn't mean to be
Dishonest I'm just so damn
Glad I met you, baby
Things could never work out
Safe flight back to Germany
And kiss me one last time
I sent my letter, no post from Denmark
Felt so much better, is this forever?
I had to go
Still keep my hopes up over messages
Stop playing these games i get so restless
I know you'll never love me now still
Glad I met you, baby
Things could never work out
Safe flight back to Germany
And kiss me one last time
I sent my letter, no post from Denmark
Felt so much better, is this forever?
Please let me know

I think about everything I’ve said
I think about the hole in my head
I think about every place we’ve been
I think about everything in-between
I think about you every day
I dream about you every night
Every night
She told me some things don’t work out
She told me I can’t be around
Dogs holding me up in life, four-pack of Saint Etienne and I’ll be fine
Cats in their Balenciaga shoes, oh it’s no use I’m still old news to you
Half a gram yeah that should work, wait for the man lower than dirt
Lower than dirt, lower than dirt, lower than
I know I’m in the wrong
And I know I’ve said a lot
Of things I didn’t need to say
Of things you didn’t need to hear
But girl I’m quite a while away
And well I never thought I’d say
That I cried the day away
That I cried the day away
Well I tried to stay away
Girl I cried the day away
Girl I cried the day away
And I tried to stay away

And all I ever wanted was some use
And all I ever got was 'how are you's'
We'd watch the summer sun as it fades away
We'd talk about our lives as they turned to grey
I think we met each other far too late
I think we hid some issues we should've faced
Now nothing feelings right now on my own
Now nothing fills the time, oh where did it go?
And everyone I love will leave, this I know for sure
Hopeless romantic, stuck in constant downpour
Shuffling through the crowd like leaves, on the starry floor
There's something about it, can I have one more
Night
To a day and a night a day and a night
I'm flawed, well alright
I wish this wasn't the end cuz you know how i get
I always need something more, something bigger
And all I ever wanted was only you
And all I ever get is nothing new
Now you're down in the big smoke making friends
And i'm stuck up here circling round my ends
I think we met each other far too late
(Cosmic disco, co-cosmic disco baby)
I think we hid some issues we should've faced
(Cosmic disco, co-cosmic disco baby)
Now nothing feelings right now on my own
(Cosmic disco, co-cosmic disco baby)
Now nothing fills the time, oh where did it go?

Stale Mate

Streets are empty, early spring
It's different here, the rhythm of living
It was cold, icy cold
We found warmth in the falling snow
This is where I'm sat until I forget who I am
Switching from davis, to staples, to can
Leave me alone, I'm sick of lending these hands
Waking up late just to dream it again
Some stupid logos move us
As humans some further than others
As animals as dirty lovers
We're all just stretched beneath our covers

Desert Island (20/20)

A desert island
Configurated space
I lay
In a bed of sand
With blistered skin
I attempted to grip
What was once mine
Soaking up the shadow of an immense marble figure
Crudely sat against this flawless stone??
My thoughts walked away from me
Raw eyelids
Left to dry in the sun
For too long
Or not long enough
I can’t even relate to myself anymore
What have I become?
Where do I belong?

The first time that I saw you
I didn’t know how much i’d grown to adore you
But it hurts to say how much we’ve changed in so many ways
And I know, but don’t go
Please stay with me girl I can’t sleep alone
But don’t go
Please stay with me I can’t sleep alone
Now the last time that you saw me
How easy was it for you to ignore me
Well implore me
Tell me baby what am I supposed to do now?
I don’t know
Please stay with me girl I can’t sleep alone
Alone
Please stay with me girl I can’t sleep alone
Alone
Please stay with me girl I can’t sleep alone
A long long time ago
A long long time I’ll go

Listening to drunk in the bath
Shaving my shitty moustache
Lady Bird
Always got my red hat on
Thinking about your favourite song
Lady Bird
Picturing you with no clothes
Baby you already know
Lady bird
Talking some smack on your ex
Dreaming of home in your bed
Lady Bird
How come its only when we wake up in our beds
We notice what was strange was locked inside our heads
How come its only when we wake up in our beds, Lady Bird
I thought I saw a sign, I thought that you were mine, Lady Bird
I thought that you were mine, I thought it at the time, Lady Bird

Satin Drag

Windows were all fogged up
Pictured your favourite cup
Filled up with coffee still
Sat upon the window sill
Stood on the roof, I waved
No coats despite the rain
How come they always jump?
Stuck in the lifeless slump
Windows were sealed shut
Some nights its not enough
Nothing ever feels for real
Days pass by the window sill
Weeks pass by too quick
Far too broke just to fix
Lipstick stains your pillow sheets
You deserve a longer sleep
It's just when you stand too close
Sat in drag with nowhere to go
How come they always jump?
Stuck in this lifeless slump

Good Life!

We would just walk, late summer evenings, hazy blue
Forever engrained that image of you
Adolescent sweetness, lazy charm
It was always gonna end right from the start
Let me catch you in the moonlight
Oh baby, it's a good life
You know these pills never work, right?
Cuz oh baby, it's a good life
It felt like a return flight, from a past life, that last night
Everything was just right, every detail, every sharp knife
Cut right through me and let the blood drip warm
Leaving no thought torn, I'd never felt so sure
I'd never felt so low
I'd never felt so loved
Let me catch you in the moonlight
Oh baby, it's a good life
You know these pills never work, right?
Cuz oh baby, it's a good life
I wish you could see it, just how I see it
Oh so vividly
And I try to envision every visit
But you're slipping away from me
Let me catch you in the moonlight
Oh baby, it's a good life
You know these pills never work, right?
Cuz oh baby, it's a good life
Let me catch you on the flipside
Cuz oh baby, it's a good life
I know you'll dream of me tonight
Cuz oh baby, it's a good life
