Dandelion 04:37
I wasted all my time Talking to a friend of mine Soft sticks and gentle wine He blew me off like I was a dandelion He blew me off like I was a dandelion Oh, radadatadidada, ratatatalaladadidadida I was okay Doing nothing Just following that boy around That boy, ugh That boy, ugh We were alright We got so high He was taken but do I mind? He said: "We can do that!" -no way, Kevin! “Now what way?” said he Had I known that. Coming todahahay I wanna hey hey hey hey! Come on and let me please you I will lay him down Kiss him sweetly Say come on, Kiki, ripple with me I only care for the naked eye If only I was there some time away But we’re living in the world today And we’re out of blessings I wasted all my time Talking to a friend of mine Soft sticks and gentle wine He blew me off like I was a dandelion He blew me off like I was a dandelion Oh, radadatadidada, ratatatalaladadidadida I only care for the naked eye I only care for the naked eye I only care for the naked eye I only care for the naked eye I wasted all my time Talking to a friend of mine Soft sticks and gentle wine He blew me off like I was a dandelion He blew me off like I was a dandelion

The last time I loved you The last time I loved you was a sunday morning I wasn’t ready for it and in the pale light I kissed your face and told you not to worry My darling, my darling, my darling The last time I loved you I was the bravest I was fucking wasted I told you: “Tonight, we are the only lovers left alive. Babe, we are defiant.” My darling, my darling, my darling Carry me home and touch me before the others do My darling, my darling, my darling The last time I loved you I was a coward You pressed me down and in the pale light you kissed my face and told me not to wonder that I had it coming My darling, my darling, my darling My darling, my darling, my darling Carry me home and touch me before the others do

Darling, Thief Remember me I am crumbling before you Remember me I've been taken by a bully I have spread myself before you like a wild bird on the wind I have tumbled down to catch those raging bullets in my wings I have lit down to rest in the mud To breathe in the dirt, breathe in the dirt, breathe in the dirt Remember me Cause I shake my soul for you now Darling, thief You know the way, you did the deeds I have shown you what I wear when I am naked I have thrown it into view and let you take it Remember me I have worn this heart for ages and it bleeds It is beating just for rage now Make it newer than the naked baby Cause feeble hearts are only good for breaking Remember me I am calling out for you to come Cause I need the fix for when I weaken To be bold when I am not cause god forbid That I turn around and fight it like a bad bitch

Kuku 03:37
Kuku dark haired humble as the cool shade we talk where time is a razor blade kuku was too far away kuku was too far away if I could then I would today reach down into her chest and take it from her heart: the weight kuku was too far away kuku was too far away you were too far away you were too far

Untouchable 03:44
Untouchable Don’t dream of me Sleep for me, my darling Your hands tied to your chest Don’t dream of me Weep for me, my darling Your hands are on my breasts At last I was out of my mind and untouchable At last I was out of my mind and untouchable untouchable When I said I liked it I lied I’m your wild bird, baby I’m taken by tide When I said I liked it I lied I’m your wild bird, baby And crippled is the tide That took you from me My daring, my thief That left me red and blind At last I was untouchable At last I was out of my mind and untouchable untouchable

Love is a cold place I stood there on the outside From there I watched my friends Their lashes hang heavy with ice and They tell me that up here it's nice I watched their bodies heat up They rub them thigh on thigh But when they turn to sleep They never close their eyes Love is a cold place It’s a cold place What grew from the fruit that ripened? A fruit so pure and clear Another skinny daughter That wants to disappear Love is a cold place It’s a cold place I stood there on the outside I watched you with your wife Your lips they held a faint smile Your eyes were fixed on mine I watched you kiss with blue lips Your tongues they met like rocks I watched you touch her pale hips Your fingers stiff with frost You shivered like a small kid You shivered like a boy Not me I dare to say this I rumbled deep with joy Love is a cold place It’s a cold place Love is a cold place It’s a cold place

Fruits of my labour I want to eat at your table Taste all of the sweet fruits of my labour Mark the day, I’ll be gone Mark the day, I’ll be gone I know I have not been the bravest Send for me cause I don’t know the way back Hands I touched for less Like a nurse at a sickbed

Daniel 04:07
Daniel Today I’ll hear a heartbeat Today I’ll kiss a skin and feel Your hair flows down your face like pale weeds Your mouth sighs soft sounds just for me I will keep you company Keep you company Keep you company Keep you My body flows like honey We’ll smoke and let the words dry out I’ll bite your toes for funny I’ll feed your fire, all I want is to Keep you company Keep you company Keep you company Keep you Daniel, make my eyes go milky Daniel, make my eyes go blind Daniel, with your hands of silk, oh Daniel, how did you get so tired? Daniel, make my eyes go milky Daniel, make my eyes go blind Daniel, with your hands of silk, oh Daniel, how did you get so tired? I will keep you company Keep you company Let me keep you company Keep you

Beautiful little thing I don't want to talk I don't want to talk at all I just want to lie in bed with someone Kiss until my mouth is big and swollen And my eyes are glazed and all gone And my hands hold onto you like you’re a lifebuoy and I am drowning and then we turn around and I ride you deep like a mighty river I don't want to talk I don't want to talk at all I just want to lie in bed with someone Someone, anyone Someone, anyone That makes me feel like I am a big wild bird And a beautiful little thing, too And a beautiful little thing, too And a beautiful little thing, too I still need you I still wonder why the days are so damn long when i lay in bed at night and I can't find your hands and i can’t find your back and I can't find your wholehearted longing I walk into town Where i lost my mind Where i lost the joy in anything Anything i can think I like playing nice I like it when I'm spinning And I like it when you all wear me down cause it's only thing I’m feeling I don't wanna talk I don't wanna talk at all I just wanna lie in bed with someone someone, anyone someone, anyone That makes me feel like I'm a big wild bird and a beautiful little thing, too and a beautiful little thing, too and a beautiful little thing, too
