Alone In Berlin
02:37
|
|
||
If you have got some information
To spread across the nation
and help your people to be free
Then use all there is at your disposal
But it might be your proposals
Are slow to give them what they need
When there's no way to win
Believe in yourself and don't give in
Just fight however you can
When you're alone in Berlin
Some might think that this is almost worthless
and it only causes more stress
But that's not what I see
The smallest measure of resistance
Can travel a great distance
and change many thing
When there's no way to win
Believe in yourself and don't give in
Just do whatever you can
When you're alone in Berlin

Car Glass Window
03:27
|
|
||
Sitting in the backseat of my parents car
It's sometime late at night, I don't know where we are
As I look through the window
and watch the world go by
Those lights through glass and rain look like distant moon
And I don't really mind if we don't get home too soon
As cars go by my window
I can almost see the people sat inside
And I look through my window
as the world passes by
I think I'll go to sleep soon
Under a blanket of stars in the sky

Stuck on a Cloud

|
|
||
I'm stuck on a cloud
I can't remember how I got here
I think I was standing on a wall
But nothing's clear anymore
It's like a bad dream
that I can't wake up from
I think that someone's beside me
But I can't see them
I'm being held down by something
And there's a shadow in the distance
I can feel a pain in my head
But I don't know if it's real
Please wake me up
Please wake me up
I don't know what's going on
Please wake me up
Please wake me up
I don't know what's going on
Please wake me up
Please wake me up
Please wake me up
I don't know where I am
Please wake me up
Please wake me up
Please wake me up
I don't know what's going on
Please wake me up

Down at the Beach

Lyrics by Simon Waldram / John Scunziano
My 9-5 life is okay
But when I need to wash my cares away
I just head down to the beach
As the sun drops out of reach
Life on the shore it feels just right
I walk in the sand in the moonlight
The wind and the waves put me at ease
Down at the beach
I couldn't really ask for me
Than to spend my time down at the shore
Where my mind is so at ease
Yeah, down at the beach
Down at the beach

Resenah
02:59
|
|
||
Resenah, living in the mountains
Counting days one by one
The sky at night looks so black and empty
Now her children have gone
What was once a room for the family
Now lies dusty and cold
And Resenah puts away the pictures
Of the man she now can't hold

Barely Even Here
03:17
|
|
||
If the wind is blowing, and I'm unsteady on my feet
I'll float away
And although I feel nothing I can't remain here anymore
I fall down and stare at the floor
Look into my eyes and you will see
there's really not much left now of me
and I come apart so easily
Because I run then I fall then I bleed
And don't know what I should be
There is no real version of me
And I'm barely even here you see...
I'm not here

Lyrics by Simon Waldram & Julia Fernandez
lyrics
In a car, from the desert to the city
I feel like I've been awake for days
On the road, from Oaxaca to DF
With a prayer to Mary, and a pistol by my side
...on the road...
The air is heavy
But the city smells like cement
¡Para el carro!
I'm at the end...
...of my road...
Forgive me Father
But you never have been a friend
Gasping, gasping...
Was how I met my end...
...on the road...

Monochrome
04:50
|
|
||
When I think about you now
the images are in monochrome
and out of order
Only isolated moments remain
but without their context
what do I do with them?
You and I are sitting at the Polar Bear
Your hair is resting on your shoulders
I see your smile so clearly
and I've never felt so close to anyone
And then my concentration is broken
and you're gone again

|
|

There's barely a sound here. It's 3am
Yesterday was a long, long day
And no-one can hear me speak
I have to go to work in a few hours
But for now I'm safe in the night
And no-one can hear me sing
