Shameless Redhead
04:35

Now watch out —
So uncannily effortless, not a smile, not a wave
She’s defying the gravity and the gravity fails
Her red hair like a waterfall and you’d better watch out
Feel like popping that bubblewrap — bubble, bubble, bubble... —
Feel like popping that bubblewrap with my bumblebee buzz
Takes a lot to be a passenger, there’s no passenger seat
But I promise I’m sensible, do I need retreat?
Smelling sounds, touching images, no retreat for me
No thought, no reasoning this hot afternoon
Go, go, go, it’s very likely I know
Just what it is, what it is, what she is
Go, go, go, I’m thinking of getting to know this shameless redhead
Go, go, go, it’s very likely we know
Just what it is, what it is
Go, go, go, we feel like getting to know this shameless redhead
I don’t know how she did it but she did it all right
Now the thing that she brought to me I don’t wanna lose
And it’s none of her business if we stumble and fall
It’s none of her business if we long for it all
It’s none of her business if we find no relief
Now don’t you wanna check her out, now roll up your sleeves
Casual, she’s casual, she’s not satisfied with the minimum minimum minimum, and I’m sensible
Go, go, go, it’s very likely I know
Just what it is, what it is, what she is
Go, go, go, I’m thinking of getting to know this shameless redhead
Go, go, go, it’s very likely we know
Just what it is, what it is
Go, go, go, we feel like getting to know this shameless redhead

Me, jealous? Never.
Oh very well,
there’s a personal hell
for us two (dozen).
Me, jealous? Never!
I don’t give up, I give away
I just hope you’re not bisexual
Or else the whole world are my enemies
And not just men
It freaks me out
To share you with every guy around
I must be a loner: I don’t want to be one of the lads
When it comes to you
I’m tortured by your infidelity
I have no evidence but it must be true
I know it must be true
I just hope you’re not bisexual
Or else the whole world are my enemies
And not just men
An adjustment
to my eyesight
I’m seeing red
I just hope you’re not bisexual
Or else the whole world are my enemies
And not just men

Tokyo Recognition
03:12
|

|
When he first came to Tokyo
He was so much impressed with the city
That he threw his credit card in a fountain pool
And he promised to never go home again
The crowded places in Tokyo,
The lonely places in the mountains up north,
It’s the same old contrast we enjoy
But of course in Japan it’s sharper
Wistful
Misty
Transitory
He promised to never go home again
You’ve never really been there
But you can recognize it

Come Again
03:31
|
|||
|
Saints in the sky, they keep blowing their own horns
They cry out to me and I say, Come again? Come again?
I spend my days dreaming of that Asian lady
Who continually makes me come again, come again
I wish I smoked so I could waste no time
I’d watch the winter come and go and then come again, come again
I spend my days talking to my reflected self
I say something wise and I say, Come again? Come again?

I Like Your Stare
04:50
|
|||
|
You make me shiver
You think much quicker
Your look is something that not everyone can really bear
And I like your stare
You’re getting naked
Take my heart, don’t break it
I want to spend this night in your most intensive care
And I like your stare
We love surprises
There’s no denying
We could do so much more than they would ever dare
It’s fresh for us
Like an October forest:
Some trees are yellow, some are brown and some are bare
And I like your stare
I like your stare
I like your stare

The Stone Song
03:27
|
|||
|
You’re not like this song but your absence is
I never dared to use such simple chords before
But then what am I? — just a little stone.
Come and go, I say, come and go
Bring me another song, and another song
But you have to come before you go
You’re my strange muse, inspire me when you leave
But to leave you must come
Or am I a fool?
I’m playing this song, it makes me a happy stone

Dirge, Not A Letter
04:10
|
|||
|
I’m not writing this for you,
and I’m not going to send this to you
I don’t know where you’re staying,
I only know it’s for the shortest while
And I’m not writing this for you
Though I might write it because of you
It’s gonna be the end of you
What’s your name again?
(Dirge, not a letter)
Do you hear the gears grinding?
Something must have gone wrong
And the sky looks so messy,
paint is flowing from holes in cans
And I’m not writing this for you
You only came for the shortest while
I don’t know where you’re staying
What’s your name again?
(Dirge, not a letter)

Do Without It
04:55
|
|||
|
You can do without it, your leg is not yourself
You can do without it, put your head upon the shelf
You think your smile makes you charming — you may never smile again
You of all the people will never ever smile again
Your head, your toes — you can do without it
Your leg, your nose — you can do without it
Your taste, your memories — you can do without it
Your el-, your -bows — you can do without it
You can do without it, your leg is not yourself
You can do without it, put your head upon the shelf
You think your smile makes you charming — you may never smile again
You of all the people will never ever smile again
Your head, your toes — you can do without it
Your leg, your nose — you can do without it
Your taste, your memories — you can do without it
Your wit, your woes — you can do without it
You can do without it, your leg is not yourself
You can do without it, put your head upon the shelf
You think your smile makes you charming — you may never smile again
You of all the people will never ever smile again
You can do without it, your leg is not yourself
You can do without it, put your head upon the shelf
You think your smile makes you charming — you may never smile again
You of all the people will never ever smile again

The next time you see me running around
Say hello and buy me a coffee so I’m gonna tell you all the new jokes
A little shame, a little lust and a bit of luck
That’s what it boils down to
And the lawyer said:
There is nothing you can keep in this world
There is nothing you can have
There is nothing you can hold in this world
The last time I saw you I said hello
You waved but you didn’t tell me any new jokes
You were depressed, you were lucky I had some time
Lots of shame, lots of lust and a bit of luck
That’s what it boils down to
And the doctor said:
There is nothing you can keep in this world
There is nothing you can have
There is nothing you can hold in this world
The next time I see the cameramen I’ll come up and buy them a drink
so I can say something that’s on my mind
And as this music’s winding down
I’ll take the opportunity and say hello to my mum
And also I have a special message for someone I know —
So when you lose the woman I love,
Your house and your bladder and your cat
There’s hardly any change in your life
You don’t lose what you don’t own and really —
There is nothing you can keep in this world
There is nothing you can have
There is nothing you can hold in this world
