Origins

Is it not lovely
To think and see
That every atom
Of our being
Lined up perfectly
So that we could meet
Find each other
And fall in love?
Do you think we come
From the same dead star?
Do you feel I am
What you are?
My dear Earthling
I think that the fibres of our being
Come from the same fire burning
Come from the same source
Even though you come from
A different corner of this world
I think our origins
Are from the same soul
Iām so fucking primitive I feel it in my bones
I can see your origins
I feel it in my bones
Iāve been drawn to you
In ways I have never understood
There can only be one reason why
We are the same light
And even though you
You are continents away, I
I can tell our origins
We are the same fire
Iām so fucking primitive I feel it in my bones
And itās so lovely
To think and see
That every atom
Of our being
Lined up perfectly
So that we could meet
Find each other
And fall in love
Do you think we come
From the same dead star?
Cause I think I am
What you are
I feel it in my bones

Andromeda
02:52
|

Heyo Heyo, youāre the brightest star
In my sky and in my heart
And like Andromeda and the Milky Way
Soon weāll crash and merge
And I canāt wait for that day
Counting down the days
Counting down the time
Waiting for those moments
When youāre not so far behind
So much in between us
Places that arenāt mine
I donāt have much patience
But you donāt seem to mind
Heyo Heyo, youāre the brightest star
In my sky and in my heart
And like Andromeda and the Milky Way
Soon weāll crash and merge
And I canāt wait for that day
Right now it feels that we are galaxies apart
And I canāt wait
To see your face again because
You have no idea how much I miss you
Heyo Heyo, youāre the brightest star
In my sky and in my heart
And like Andromeda and the Milky Way
Soon weāll crash and merge
And I canāt wait for that day
Soon weāll crash and merge
And I canāt wait for that day
Soon weāll crash and merge
And I canāt wait for that day
Soon weāll crash and merge
And I canāt wait for that day
Soon weāll crash and merge
And I canāt wait for that day

Nothing To Do
03:05
|
|||
Iām all alone today, cleaning the mess I made
āCause I have nothing better to do, what can I do?
All by myself, locked in my room
What else can I do but think of you?
Here I sit
All alone
Making music
On my own
While thoughts of you
Swim through my head
With a guitar in my hand
And Rizla on my bed
What can I say? I fucked up today
āCause I had nothing better to do, what else could I do?
My bodyās on fire, but my words are cold
What else can I do but do as Iām told?
Where do I go when Iāve got nothing to show
No one to talk to and nothing to do?
Everyoneās gone and Iām writing a song
All alone all day long
Here I sit
All alone
Making music
On my own
While thoughts of you
Swim through my head
With a guitar in my hand
And green stuff in my head
Green stuff in my head
I have nothing to do
With all this green stuff in my head

Southern Bones
03:26
|

To you it must seem like I
Live at the edge of the world
Youāve got an idea of what itās like
From the stories that Iāve told
If you donāt believe a word I say
Why donāt you come here and see?
I could use your company
So come here to play with me
I know we are going somewhere
I feel it in my southern bones
We are onto something right
I know it in my African soul
Iāll say it without a care
Youāve hit me like a spear through the heart
My apologies and congratulations
Youāve got yourself an African girl
Feel it in my southern bones
I know it in my African soul
Like a spear straight through the heart
Youāve got yourself an African girl
I want you to come and see
The lights of Johannesburg
Come on, my love, have no fear
We can party amongst the dirt
Forgive me for being so forward
Thatās just how we do things here
I just want your company so
Come on, what ya waiting for?
I know we are going somewhere
I feel it in my southern bones
We are onto something right
I know it in my African soul
Iāll say it without a care
Youāve hit me like a spear through the heart
My apologies and congratulations
Youāve got yourself an African girl
Feel it in my southern bones
I know it in my African soul
Like a spear straight through the heart
Youāve got yourself an African girl
Feel it in my southern bones
I know it in my African soul
Like a spear straight through the heart
Youāve got yourself an African girl
Feel it in my southern bones
I know it in my African soul
Like a spear straight through the heart
Youāve got yourself an African girl

Follow Me
04:07

Here, on this Earth
Where salt meets sand and sand meets sky
And sky meets land and land sets alight
I have to say
That Iāve never met anyone quite like you
Who can look at me and send me into the blue
But you, you wonāt
Wonāt cooperate with me even though
I know everything and you best follow me
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me down this yellow brick road
And Iāll show you a side of me that nobody knows
Follow me down this rabbit hole
And Iāll stand on my head until up we go
Youāve never met anyone crazy like me
Wonāt you help me pass the insanity
Wonāt you please be everything and more to me
Here, on this Earth
Where salt meets sand and sand meets sky
And sky meets land and land sets alight
I have to say
That Iāve probably felt this way before
But then you came along and sent me into the blue
And you, you donāt
Have to cooperate with me even though
I know everything and you best follow me
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me down this yellow brick road
And Iāll show you a side of me that nobody knows
Follow me down this rabbit hole
And Iāll stand on my head until up we go
Youāve never met anyone crazy like me
Wonāt you help me pass the insanity
Wonāt you please be everything and more to me
Follow me down this yellow brick road
And Iāll show you a side of me that nobody knows
Follow me down this rabbit hole
And Iāll stand on my head until up we go
Youāve never met anyone crazy like me
Wonāt you help me pass the insanity
Wonāt you please be everything and more to me
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me
Follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me, follow me

The Best
04:11
|
|||
Sorry to bother you but youāre in my head
And some things shouldnāt ever be left unsaid
So before the world crashes down and everything ends
I want you to know that I think youāre the best
But no one ever told me that this is how itās done
I am the rain and you are the sun
Look at all the colours that we create
Forgive my cliche, but this is fate
Iām sorry that you get whatās left of me
I was naive and wasted all my energy
Had I known I would have waited for you
And FYI I am, in fact, in love with you
But no one ever told me that this is how itās done
I am the rain and you are the sun
And I love all the colours that we create
Forgive my cliche, but this is fate
FYI I am in love with you
FYI I am in fact in love with you
But no one ever told me that this is how itās done
I am the rain and you are the sun
And I love all the colours that we create
I donāt care if itās cliche, this is fate
Sorry to bother you but youāre in my head
And I want you to know that I think youāre the best

Old And Grey
04:18
|
|||
Iāve been reminiscing about way back when
When the world divided us and my patience wore thin
It was oh so difficult, but worth every waking moment
To get where we are now
Iāve said it a million times and I will say it til the sun implodes
Thereās nowhere else Iād rather be than right here and right now
I looked for love and I found it, I still find it in your soul
Do you find it, do you find it
Do you find it in mine?
I will never forget all of the sweat and the blood and the tears
And the aching loneliness we felt for years
How it almost succeeded in tearing us apart
But we made it, we were meant to
Right from the start
I know sometimes youāre sick of me and I tend to scare you away
But thereās no one else I would rather be with when Iām old and grey
Itās forever, forever, forever in your eyes
Do you see it, do you feel it when you look into mine?
Did you fall? Did you fall in love, love, love?
Did you fall? Did you fall in love, love, love?
Cause I fell, I fell in love, love, love
With you
With you
With you
Iāve said it a million times and I will say it til the sun implodes
Thereās nowhere else Iād rather be than right here and right now
I looked for love and I found it, I still find it in your soul
Do you find it, do you find it
Do you find it in my soul?
Did you find it, did you find it, did you find it my soul?
Do you find it, do you find it, do you find it my soul?
Itās forever, forever, forever in your eyes
Do you see it, do you feel it when you look into mine?

December
03:30
|
|||
Youāre about to pack your things and up and leave and visit me
And it is just the sweetest thing that anyoneās ever done
I donāt have much to offer, just a basic life and a simple tune
I have a heart, I have a soul thatās just for you
Words just canāt describe
How excited I am
I just canāt wait any longer
So come what may
Iāll always remember
This December
I donāt know if youāll like it here in my corner of this planet
But I will do my best to make you feel at home
I donāt have much to offer, just my company, so forgive me
For saying this but I really canāt wait for us to be alone
I think Iāve fallen
As far as one can fall
I just canāt wait any longer
So come what may
Iāll always remember
This December
Words just canāt explain
How nervous Iāve become
I just canāt wait any longer
So come what may
Iāll always remember
This December
This December
This December

Fireworks
05:05

Humans are so silly, always wasting time
As though we have infinity to live inside our lies
Lies we tell ourselves, and everyone around
To make it easy to bury our heads in the ground
But Iām not like the others, I like to face the sky
And I have no brain-mouth filter, I always say whatās on my mind
So hereās some brutal honesty you might not appreciate
Iāve been drawn to you since the first time I saw your face
In the dark and cold
In the dark and cold
In the dark and cold
Iām trying way too hard
To write a song that will leave you charmed
Some things I canāt express
Itās not my fault youāre from Finland, what did you expect?
Since you donāt have a soul
You can share mine, though itās full of holes
I just wanna be real
And you are something I can feel
I know itās ridiculous, you are on the other side of the world
But Iāve done this before and itās not that difficult
You know that I like adventure, so tell me I can come your way
So I can relive all the fireworks of New Yearās Day
You might not remember it, itās such a precious memory to me
The colour in the sky, and you right there with me
And even though it was in winter and I was standing in the snow
Iāve never been as warm as I was in the dark and cold
In the dark and cold
In the dark and cold
In the dark and cold
I know youāre surprised
But Iām too old to run and hide
You might run away
Iām used to it, so I hope youāll stay
Since you donāt have a soul
You can share mine, but itās full of holes
I just wanna be real
And you are something I can feel
I know itās ridiculous, you are on the other side of the world
But Iāve done this before and itās not that difficult
You know that I like adventure, so tell me I can come your way
So I can relive all the fireworks of New Yearās Day
You might not remember it, itās such a precious memory to me
The colour in the sky, and you right there with me
And even though it was in winter and I was standing in the snow
Iāve never been as warm as I was in the dark and cold
In the dark and cold
In the dark and cold
In the dark and cold
Humans are so silly, always wasting time
As though we have infinity to live inside our lies
Lies we tell ourselves, and everyone around
To make it easy to bury our heads in the ground
But Iām not like the others, I like to face the sky
And I have no brain-mouth filter, I always say whatās on my mind
So hereās some brutal honesty you might not appreciate
Iāve been drawn to you since the fireworks on New Yearās Day
You might not remember it, itās such a precious memory to me
The colour in the sky, and you right there with me
And even though it was in winter and I was standing in the snow
Iāve never been as warm as I was in the dark and cold
Iāve never been as warm as I was in the dark and cold
Iāve never been so warm, ācause you know I love the dark and cold

Hunting Season
03:33
|
|||
Iāve been told Iām a mystery
Because itās impossible to be
As annoying as me
Iāve been told that Iām full of shit
That Iām just too much to deal with
āCause no oneās as difficult as me
Never one for self control
Three for three Iām on a fucking roll
And you can be the next poor soul
to fall victim to my insanity
And youāll learn quickly
Iāve been told that I feel too much
That no one really gives a fuck
āCause Iām no good at this
Iāve been told that Iām a mess
That thereās no hope and Iām a pest
āCause my brainās all amiss
So maybe you should let it go
Before you get into trouble
And you donāt have to be that soul
Who falls victim to my insanity
But you can be
They all seem to run with no rhyme or reason
Not realising that itās hunting season
And no oneās as tiring as me
And what you donāt see is how they all played games
To have and to hold just to bend and to break
And it makes my trigger finger itchy
āCause I donāt have self control
Three for three Iām on a fucking roll
And yours looks like the next poor soul
Whoāll fall victim to my insanity

As The Universe Intends
04:26
|
|||
Itās only been about an hour since I last spoke to you
Thereās just so much to discuss and I want to turn to you
But I have long-standing issues that I have not resolved
And like other people there are things I canāt control
Then thereās you fighting back
It seems that I have met my match
We canāt change who we are
And I donāt think we should try
Some things will happen as the universe intends
But we both said things that I hope we never meant
I know that you still love me and you know I love you
So letās fight for this like pisces people ought to do
So letās reach a compromise and start repairing things
You can have whatever you want if I get what I need
This is just a learning curve so letās use it to grow
I will forfeit some ideas ācause I donāt want you to go
I guess I care too much
About unimportant stuff
And then you try to feel
The absolute minimum
And so that will naturally start to clash
But that does not mean we should do things we canāt take back
We are wasting precious hours we could spend feeling good
So letās relax and reconcile like pisces people should
Can we go back to a time
When everything was calm and bright?
Can we return to a place
Where everything was made of rainbow light?
Can we walk instead of run?
So weāll remember that this is fun
āCause of all the smiles in the world
Yours is still my favourite one
Some things will happen as the universe intends
And I think the universe wants us to make amends
So take all the time you need, the silence just for you
Iām a pisces person and so I will wait for you

Yesterday
04:29
|
|||
Broken people stuck together
Tried our best to make it better
Never realising that we
Dragged each other down
Meant to be a great adventure
Turned into a failed endeavour
Thought that it would last forever
Now youāre not around
And yesterday
Is far away
As far away
As you
But I
Canāt help
But wonder
If you
Are happy now
World is changing rapidly
And Iād give anything to see
What could have been if you and I
Didnāt run it to the ground
What we had was once a dream
A waking nightmare come to be
It died a slow death, tragically
And now youāre not around
And yesterday
Is far away
As far away
As you
But I
Canāt help
But wonder
If you
Are happy
Now
Now
Now
Now
You had petrol, I had matches
Didnāt care that fire catches
Sat aside and watched what we built
All go up in flames
Liar versus charlatan
A tournament of destruction
And we were both too blind to see
That we lost at our own game
But I
Canāt help
But wonder
If you
Are happy
Now
Now
Now
Now
World is changing rapidly
And Iād give anything to see
What could have been if you and I
Didnāt run it to the ground
Meant to be a great adventure
Turned into a failed endeavour
Thought that it would last forever
Now youāre not around
And yesterday
Is far away
As far away
As you
