"Blood Type O"

"Blood Type O"



To the left and to the right, I can’t believe that we would fight,
It’s all so mediocre anyway.
Take me down unto your road where I could filter through the code.
There is no other way that’s better paid.

You do it so well,
Blood Type O - it’s all so long ago.
You do it so well,
You’re Blood Type O - it's all imaginary.
But you do it so well.

You build it up and you burn it down.
You take the smile and make it frown.
I don’t know why you ever wont look back.

If it was ever up to me,
I’d steal the crown and you would see.
I’d take the fight that’s here in front of you.

You do it so well,
Blood Type O - it's all so long ago.
You do it so well.
Blood Type O - it’s all imaginary.

But you do it so well.

You’re Blood Type O.

You do it so well.
It’s all so long ago.
It’s all imaginary.
Blood Type O.

"Book Of Brilliant Things"

"Book Of Brilliant Things"



Thank you for the voice, the eyes and the memories shine
Thank you for the pictures of living in the beautiful black and the white
Some say we'll be together for a very long time
Some say that our first impressions never will lie
I open up to take a look into the bright and shiny book
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Book of brilliant things
I open up to take a look into the bright and shiny book;
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Oh, book of brilliant things

I thank you for the shadows
It takes two or three to make company
I thank you for the lightning that shoots up and sparkles in the rain
Some say this could be the great divide
Some day some of them say that our hearts will beat
Like the wheels of the fast train, all around the world

I open up to take a look into the bright and shiny book
Into the open scheme of things
Book of brilliant things
Book of brilliant things

Some say we can be together for a very long time
Some say our hearts will beat like the wheels of a fast train
All around the world
All around the world
All around the world
Some say our hearts beat like the wheels of a fast train
All around the world
All around, all around, around, around
All around the world

Our hearts beat like the wheels of a fast train
A very long time
All around and all around and all around and all around the world
Some say we'll be together
Some say

A very long time, some of them will say
A very long time all around the world

"Boys From Brazil"

"Boys From Brazil"



Boys From Brazil
Champagne
Desert Shore
Celebrate
Memorize
Associate lips with the poor
Eyes of the world on you
Boys From Brazil
Champagne
Desert Shore

What can you say
About anything lost now
What can you say
About stolen things too
Anything Stolen
Something is lost now
What can you say
And how fast can things move

Boys from Brazil
Fortune of bird in flight
Tycoons and whirlwind
Brings a hush on lover's voice
Eyes of the world on you

Boys from Brazil
Champagne
Desert shore

Babies cannot manage
Lust and Ambition
Babies only speak and ingenious talk
Badies don't remember
Chance or up in shame
Badies cannot manage crocodiles

Boys from Brazil
Gentleman and adventure
Killing Hearts and gentle life
Spending money in capitals
Eyes of the world on you

Not just the boy that's crying wolf now
Someone else is screaming up at our door
Not just a body that's crying wolf now
Eyes of the world on you

Taking tracks back
Slip a while back
In forward moves
Boys taking tracks back
Slip a while
Forward moves forward moves
Slip a while

"Bring On The Dancing Horses"

"Bring On The Dancing Horses"



Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home
Bringing on the dancing horses
Headless and all alone
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard
First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart

Billy stands
All alone
Sinking sand
Skin and bone
Bring on the dancing horses
Wherever they may roam
Shiver and say the words
Of every lie you've heard

First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart

Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And my little heart
Goes

Jimmy Brown
Made of stone
Charlie Clown
No way home

First I'm gonna make it
Then I'm gonna break it
Till it falls apart
Hating all the faking
And shaking while I'm breaking
Your brittle heart

Bring on the new messiah
Wherever he may roam...
Brittle heart
Brittle heart
And our little hearts
Go

"Broken Glass Park"

"Broken Glass Park"



At summertime we go down to Broken Glass Park,
We'd sit on down until light fades through to dark,
Do you remember me?
Everytime we go down to Broken Glass Park,
We'd sit on down 'til day turned into dark,
Do you remember me?

It was the last day of the last great century.
We were so young in my memory.
And Broken Glass Park,
Head for the sun.
Stay out all night,
'Til morning had come.
Tune in to ourselves,
Get lost here for days.
Turned in to time,
Still frozen in space.

In Broken Glass Park,
Let's head for the sun,
Stayed out all night,
'Til morning had come.
Tune in to ourselves,
Get lost here for days,
Frozen in time.

But I'm still hooked - do you remember me?
Everytime we go down to Broken Glass Park.
We'd sit on down until light turned to dark.
Do you remember me?
It was the last day of the last great century.
We were so young in my memory.
And Broken Glass Park,
Head for the sun.

Stay out all night,
'Til morning had come.
Tune in to ourselves,
Get lost here for days.
Turned in to time,
Still frozen in space.
In Broken Glass Park,
Let's head for the sun,
Stayed out all night,
'Til morning had come.
Tune in to ourselves,
Get lost here for days,
Frozen in time.
May those moments rest in here with me.
And it will always be.

One day longer the sense gets stronger,
And I know it will be, this is our destiny.
And Broken Glass Park,
Head for the sun.
Stay out all night,
'Til morning had come.
Tune in to ourselves,
Get lost here for days.
Turned in to time,
Still frozen in space.

In Broken Glass Park,
Let's head for the sun,
Stayed out all night,
'Til morning had come.
Tune in to ourselves,
Get lost here for days,
Frozen in time.

We had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.
We had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun.
We had fun, fun, fun, fun, fun, fun. fun, fun, fun, fun!

"Calling Your Name"

"Calling Your Name"



Private world
Moving fast
I see your face in the distant past
Time passes slowly
Time passes slowly
Time passes slowly
Echoes of an empty room
Assassin at the window below
The concrete jungle sleeps at night
Story ends
Leave him alone

Calling
Calling your name
All that you say goes in vain
I would like to find you
On a voyage
That could find itself true

Centre of a scene
Where a man lies dying in the sun
The concrete jungle sleeps at night
Story ends
Can't leave him alone

Calling
Calling your name
All that you say goes in vain
I would like to find you
On a voyage
That could find itself true

Private world
Moving fast
I see your face in the distant past
Time passes slowly
Time passes slowly
Time passes slowly

"Capital City"

"Capital City"



Nerve and nerve
This coastline swerves
To a city that they live on
I walk on by
Animals cry
To a city that they live on
To a city that they walk on
To a city that they live on
Pulse Feel Pulse

This train is late
I hesitate
To a city that they live on
Dance the dance of violence
To a city that they live on
To a city that they crawl on
To a city that they live on

Pulse Feel Pulse

City that they live on
Feel
To a city that they crawl on
To a city live on
Feel
City that they crawl on

"Careful In Career"

"Careful In Career"



Careful In Career
Take care
I take care
It's a shame
To go away
It's a shame to go away
It's a shame
To die already
Looking at you
Looking in through at me
Pouring X years of life
Pouring in ecstasy
Performance or ecstasy
I'm looking at you
Looking in through at me
I've come so far already
I've come so far already
So far
I've come so far

Careful In Career
Take care
I take care
I see the lodgers
They are walking
Hands over my eyes
I see you yawning
Shambling
Drugged up by the heat and so

Looking at you
Looking in through at me
Pouring X years of life
Pouring in ecstasy
In performance or in ecstasy
I'm looking at you
Looking in through at me
I've come so far already
I've come so far already

It's a shame
Looking at you
Looking in through at me
All in ecstasy
I've come so far already
All in ecstasy
I've come so far already
All in ecstasy
I've come so far already
I've come so far
I've come so far
It's a shame
It's a shame
Looking at you
Looking in through at me

"Carnival (Shelter In A Suitcase)"

"Carnival (Shelter In A Suitcase)"



Low club light
Lips sealed tight
Expose fade away
Observer write it all down
For Me
No soundtrack
No fightback
Noise annoys
Dark Subject

All the underworld
Making plans for us
We are open wide
Need someone to stand up
Up up

Lovers
Shelter in their suitcase
Waiters
Shelter in their suitcase
Stangers
Shelter in their suitcase
Sailor talk to soldier
Sailor

Low club light
Lips sealed tight
Expose fade away
Observer write it all down
For me
I'll try
I'll spy
I would not buy
A car from you
They make uniforms
Something to call style
We need to stand up
We are open wide-ide-ide

Lovers
Shelter in their suitcase
Waiters
Shelter in their suitcase
Strangers
Shelter in their suitcase
Soldier talk to sailer
Soldier

All the underworld
Making plans for us
We are open wide
Need someone to stand up
Up up

Lovers
Shelter in their suitcase
Waiters
Shelter in their suitcase
Strangers
Shelter in their suitcase
Soldier talk to sailer
Soldier

"Celebrate"

"Celebrate"



Act of love
Is a luxury
The suit he wears
Belongs to me
The road is long
Seven thousand miles
Soldier talk
And uniform
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate

She rag doll
Keeps him warm
This negative
Shows no form
He salutes the crowd
"Go west young man"
Run run run
The hollow man

We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate

To a distant land
Sand and sand
Touch to touch
A marble man
The house is glass
Furniture's chrome
Soldier talk
And uniform

We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate
We can live
I can live
Celebrate
Celebrate
