Didn´t we almost have it all?


Remember when we held on in the rain
The nights we almost lost it, once again
We can take the night into tomorrow
Living on feelings
Touching you I feel it all again

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall, my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

The way you used to touch me felt so fine
We kept our hearts together down the line
A moment in the soul can last forever
Comfort and keep us
Help me bring the feeling back again

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all

Didn't we have the best of times
When love was young and new
Couldn't we reach inside and find
The world of me and you
We'll never lose it again
Cause once you know what love is
You'll never let it end

Didn't we almost have it all
When love was all we had worth giving
The ride with you was worth the fall my friend
Loving you makes life worth living
Didn't we almost have it all
The nights we held on till the morning
You know you'll never love that way again
Didn't we almost have it all
Didn't we almost have it all

Between the lines


Shades are down and lights are out
Only the sound of distant sirens
Now that you're sleeping by my side
I can reveal what I've been hiding
Oh my
Oh oh my

Hey, look, I'm sorry for my ways
Well it's just selfpresevation
'cause I break easily these days
that's why I say the things I say
oh my
won't you read between the lines
oh my
won't you read between the lines
says that I'm already hopelessly devoted
losing ground I'm on decline
And I tried so hard but oh you
mowed me down
mowed me down
mowed me down

If I trust you with my fears
Will you still think of me tomorrow
Is there a chance you'd let me down
Is there a gun here I can borrow

Oh my
You don't know how much I lie
Oh my
Won't you read between the lines
Says that I'm
Already hopelessly devoted
Losing ground
I'm on decline
There's no hope for me
No rescue within sight
Already hopelessly devoted
I'm surprised I'm still alive
And I tried so hard but oh,
You mowed me down

I´m still her


Streets, sun warms and heart beats
You are 17, 23, you belong
You're not something to own
Glow, can't you see life glow
Unremarkable and slow
It pushes us all relentlessly on

There's happiness where and when i least expect
It's such a rare thing but it's happening
There's happiness and of course yes there is death,
Loneliness and regrets, one fire less

Live, so repetitive
Now i've locked myself out and you can't be reached
Yet, but it's allright
Slow, can't you see them glow
Every room outside, one day we are all found
One day we're those who died

There's happiness where and when i least expect
Everything that i see will outlive me
There's happiness and of course fear and death
Loneliness hard regrets, one fire less
We'll never ride into the sun with the end
Hung above our hardships and our love
I didn't cry not until we lowered you
Down into the cold ground the cold cold ground

All these things that I´ve done


When there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
One more son
If you can hold on
If you can hold on, hold on
I wanna stand up, I wanna let go
You know, you know - no you don't, you don't
I wanna shine on in the hearts of men
I want a meaning from the back of my broken hand

Another head aches, another heart breaks
I am so much older than I can take
And my affection, well it comes and goes
I need direction to perfection, no no no no

Help me out
Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out

And when there's nowhere else to run
Is there room for one more son
These changes ain't changing me
The cold-hearted boy I used to be

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
I got soul, but I'm not a soldier
...

Yeah, you know you got to help me out
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
You know you got to help me out
You're gonna bring yourself down
You're gonna bring yourself down
Yeah, oh don't you put me on the blackburner
Yeah, you're gonna bring yourself down

Over and out, last call for sin
While everyone's lost, the battle is won
With all these things that I've done
All these things that I've done
If you can hold on
If you can hold on

Skinny Love


Come on skinny love just last the year
Pour a little salt we were never here
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Staring at the sink of blood and crushed veneer

I tell my love to wreck it all
Cut out all the ropes and let me fall
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Right in the moment this order's tall

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
In the morning I'll be with you
But it will be a different "kind"
I'll be holding all the tickets
And you'll be owning all the fines

Come on skinny love what happened here
Suckle on the hope in lite brassiere
My, my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Sullen load is full; so slow on the split

I told you to be patient
I told you to be fine
I told you to be balanced
I told you to be kind
Now all your love is wasted?
Then who the hell was I?
Now I'm breaking at the britches
And at the end of all your lines

Who will love you?
Who will fight?
Who will fall far behind?

I raise my fist


This very morning at six a clock sharp.

I stepped out in the light straight from the dark.

I went from the club to the bus and my bed.

I had some sunglasses on and took a pill for my head.

I was low I was worn out and used my light had burned out to a glow.

I was low I don't remember that much but my friends, well they told me so.

I woke up around a quarter to three. Another parking lot in another city.

Already been here a time or two.Don't need no map or some guide to know what to do.

I know which street to walk which stores to see to find the necessary.

I know in which restaurants I need to be to find some good food for me.

I'm still vegetarian, anti-American I'm still socialist and I stillraise my fist.

I'm still anarchist; I'm still atheist I'm still pissed, because somethings they enlist.

I raise my fist.

After sound-check I felt better again.I went to the backstage where I met a friend.

He said he had some plans for me and the band.After the show we had a party to attend.

You know that I always said it's better to do something than just sit around waiting to die.

I'm still vegetarian, anti-American I'm still socialist and I stillraise my fist.

I'm still anarchist; I'm still atheist I'm still pissed, because somethings they enlist.

The more you ignore me the closer I get


The more you ignore me, the closer I get. You´re waisting your time
The more you ignore me, the closer I get. You´re waisting your time
I will be in the bar
with my head on the bar
I am now
a central part
of your minds landscape
whether you care
or do not
yeah, I´ve made up your mind
The more you ignore me, the closer I get. You´re waisting your time
The more you ignore me, the closer I get, You´re waisting your time
Beware
I bear more crudges
than lonely high court judges
When you sleep
I will creep
into your thoughts
like a bad dept
that you cant´t pay
Take the easy way
and give in
Yeah, let me in
It´s war
war
war
war
Oh, let me in
ah, the closer I get
ah, you´re asking for it
and the closer I get...
